Selling Guide -
When your stock falls below 22 DMA followed by a weak close, consider it first red sign. When it subsequently falls below 50 DMA followed by another weak close, your holding is under serious selling pressure.
Eg. study the charts of BEPL, Avanti, ACE, Goa Carbon
Here you go!
Stochastic (5,3,3) < 50
50 Day WMA > 200 Day WMA
10 Day EMA > 20 Day EMA
Daily Low < 10 Day WMA
Money Flow Index (5 Day) < 50
10 Day WMA of OBV > 20 Day WMA of OBV
20 Day WMA of OBV > 50 Day WMA of OBV
5 Day WMA of ATR (1 Day) < 22 Day WMA of ATR (1 Day)

#NTPC
is setting up beautifully. Trading in a tight range and looks unaffected by the current volatility.
Resistance is getting weaker with a few hits at it.
Those big green bars in Volume are clear signs of impressive accumulation in the base with some strong Pocket Pivots.
#TATAMOTORS
High Tight Flag is forming.
🎯Moved 97% up sharply in 8 weeks
🎯Length of base - 4 weeks
🎯Depth of base - 13%
🎯Volume is drying up
Tracking it.
It's a secret recipe 😋
But I can give you some pointers-
1) Choose stocks in Stage 2 with RS > 75
2) Identify these setups - Cup with Handle, High Tight Flag, Rectangle, VCP, Squat, Low Cheat, 3-C.
2) Wait for the significant contraction in daily range, volatility & Volume.
Accumulation/Distribution 101
If a stock is consolidating constructively around 10 & 50-DMA & majority of price bars consists of Acc bars in last 10 days, smart money is flowing in. Conversely, if majority of bars consists of Dist bars in last 10 days, smart money is flowing out

Many new traders get lured by fast money. They try fancy indicators, use 1-5 min charts & intraday trading which is equivalent to flying a fighter jet.
Learn the basics of Price/Vol first & use long time frame charts.
Try to ride a bicycle first, flying a jet could come later.

Making money while the market is going up is enthralling but sitting mostly on cash with a very small or no exposure while the market is crashing down feels more victorious.
Reading signs of weakness in the broader market and preparing an exit plan are equally important.
I have been working on 'Short Selling' set-ups. Took notes from 'Short-Selling with the O'Neil Disciples' & discovered a powerful set-up to short stocks. Will share it tomorrow.
Going to play from both sides soon.
This book has been a game changer for me, ever since I read it. If you haven't read the book written by one of the greatest traders ever lived, you are missing out on something big.
P.S. - Avoid the updated version by Richard Smitten. That one is totally trash.
#IRCTC
freshly entered Stage 2 and shaping up nicely near the resistance.
Long-term key MAs have been aligned in bullish sync.
Bull Snort on 19 Aug and multiple Pocket Pivots in the base signify the footprints of solid accumulation.
Adding it to the watch list.
Recently bought positions in PERSISTENT, ACE, FINCABLES, SUPERHOUSE, NDRAUTO (sold at BE) & CHALET. They all bounced off nicely post breakout except CHALET (which I'm holding rilingly).
These all stocks had one common factor before the run - a strong Pocket Pivot in the base.

I use Pocket Pivot days to identify the flow of Accumulation within the base. If a base is formed with multiple Pocket Pivot days, it shows the interest of big players.
A base with more than 2-3 PP days has a high probability.
Moves coming out of such bases are often explosive.

This pattern emerges when the price corrects, with short-term MAs in a bullish alignment. Draw a trendline during this correction, covering all high points from the last swing high (not 52-Week High). When prices close above it,

@RyanPierpont
, setting up for a 'Dip, Rip, Sideways!' play.
A list of high GE Ratio stocks trading within 30% range of their 52 Week Highs. I have immense interest in stocks with low Standard Deviation, tracking them closely.
One of the most important steps to improve chart reading skills & identify winning stocks is to study leading winners of the past meticulously.
If you're serious about your trading, start with the study of the charts of recent winning stocks & make it a never-ending process.
When I started, I used around 10 indicators & almost all fundamental ratios but found success when removed all of them & focused on following-
1. Price & Volume
2. Support & Resistance
3. Growth in Earnings, Sales & OPM
KISS.
Don't overwhelm yourself with information overload.
4 stocks from the watchlist that have been setting up well and could give an entry signal soon:
ELECON
○ ELECON has been significantly improving its profit margins and reducing its debt. ROCE and ROE have been improving, reaching 27% and 22% in FY24, respectively. These
MINI COIL forms when the price consolidates within a bar's range for a couple of days or more. A closing above the MINI COIL bar's high with strong Vol signals a potential entry.
Traditionally, MINI COIL is considered when High & Low hold. Yet, if the closing stays below the
I was schooled in Hindi medium. Wanted to improve my English so that I could join BPO in Delhi. Bought this book from a local book store at just 75/-, obviously he had no buyers for it in a small city for many years.
This is how my trading journey started.
How did yours start?
#MARATHON
🎯 Volatility is contracting.
🎯 5-Months long base.
🎯 Multiple strong Pocket Pivots in the base since January.
🎯 Excellent Relative Strength.
📈 Blockbuster triple-digit growth in Earnings & Sales over the last 4 quarters.
One of my daily routine is to go through
@markminervini
timeline and make a list of the stocks he is holding. I study those charts, base structure, price/volume, try to asses whey he might have bought and emulate the same into my analysis.
This practice has helped me a lot.
I had been noticing some strong buzz about

This is one of the sell signals I follow. It should give you some idea.
Since market cap of IRCTC is good, I reduced the move rule from 40% to 30% in this case.

Any rules where you sell positions . Just to learn

#HAPPSTMNDS
to my watch list.
Setting up delectably.
Trading in a tight rage for 5 weeks.
Volatility & Volume has dried up significantly.
Tracking it!
If a stock keeps falling below 22-DMA, consider it the first red sign. When it subsequently falls below 50-DMA, bounces off a little and dips again below 50-DMA, it is under severe selling pressure.
Leading stocks never vacillate around 50-DMA a lot in a healthy market.
Trading 101 with SmallCap Index
1. Swing trades when bullish divergence in MACD-H forms
2. Breakout trades if Index closes above 22-Day high
3. Pullback/Pocket Pivot trades if Index consolidates constructively while13-EMA>22-EMA
4. Sell, go cash if Index breaches 10-Day low, NQA

Why 2 when I could recommend 12 great books instead.
I've read tons of books on trading/stocks and these are the best of the bunch. Imbibe the concepts given in those books and you would make your place in the elite 5% club.
Reading order: from top left to the bottom right.
I spend at least 2 hours with my son after coming back from work. No matter how much tired or tensed I am ; playing, dancing, solving puzzles or building models with him makes all that go away.
Kids are amazing. Their smile, energy & zeal are infectious - Perfect Stress-buster.

You may shortlist winning stocks, identify patterns but when and where to enter remains one the toughest part.
If you read this book, pay full attention to exercises (Chapter 6 & 7) and study those charts meticulously.
