Laurus Labs - nothing wrong till now on charts. Comfortably placed above MA with minor retracements. the Target of 1035 is intact.

Laurus Labs - Initial Target 895

Syngene - a long route opened. 1%*3 PnF

Deepak Nitrite - Bought more of them. Weakness below 1820.

IEX - soaring ahead in terms of business potential. A great platform stock to own. Power trading is only to increase in India.

D: holding in personal portfolio.

Tata Elxsi - seems now also a good low-risk trade to me. However, as a cardinal rule would add on the breakout. For 20 MA followers, it is a good point to enter with a SL few percentages below MA.

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers RCF -

a chart that caught my attention immediately. My favorite horizontal range with volume contraction. Will wait for breakout/breakdown in this. Lots of big green candles in the range. On radar.

Praj Industries - keep on the radar. Price is telling something. Smart money most probably pushing out. Strict SL needed. Volatility contracted.

Hikal - for me a high conviction bet now as buying volumes are high and stock is retesting the support. SL 495. Buy zone 525-535

SAIL - I am not holding it as of now. Chart for learning purposes. I always have a bullish bias for a stock in a particular sector that is performing so well.

A typical example of stock taking a pause in between during its upwards journey.

David Larry (2003) - Trading Explosion Breakaway Gaps

How to trade Breakaway Gaps?

First of all - identify a Breakaway Gap by looking at price breaking out with a gap wherein no shares exchanged hands. If you look at the attached chart of NELCO, you can see one on 12th August.

Nest step - wait for few sessions to look for "if the gap is filled or not" and simultaneously look for "PIVOT LOW".

What is pivot low? It is a candle that is surrounded by two candles on either side with higher lows. Ideally, this should be your stop-loss point. Candle 2 is PL

What about the entry? Entry is taken when the right side candle's high next to the Pivot point candle is knocked out. (buy when high of candle 3 is crossed with a stop loss below low of candle 2)

In this thread, I will explain to you the psychology behind the cup & handle pattern. The attached chart is of Balaji Amines.

Point 1 = Profit booking by many traders and fresh short positions opened taking the stock down till level 2 where there is no more selling

Point 2 - a level wherein the stock becomes attractive again for fresh buyers and short positions will be covered adding strength to the stock.

It moves back till point 3 which is now the psychological resistance level and would again see profit booking by weak hands.

But, this time the stock fell till point 4 wherein the buyers (smart hands) are willing to pay a higher price and further push out the weak hands absorbing all their selling. This is the ideal entry point for a risk-loving trader as this is the closest to the stop-loss point.

Finally, you see - in the whole process - the stock has shifted hands from uninformed retail investors to "smart hands". And finally followed by a cup and handle breakout. The target will be the depth of the cup projected upwards from the breakout level.

When to take entry for a conservative investor? At candle no 5 - the breakout candle and stop-loss a few % below breakout level.

In the next thread - I will explain to you how the same principle works for most of the patterns (No need to mug up the pattern names)

Syngene:

For long term investors - Buy at any dips
PnF Chart (1%*3) Stop loss level - 570 (previous low O's below Anchor column)
Candlesticks Charts - 605 (below gap boundary)

below Anchor column breakout** (ABC)

LTI - A small trade. Buy till 4700. SL 4375. Target: 5460

R:R ratio = 2.34

Plan positions accordingly. Might retest 4500 levels so safe traders can wait for a pullback.

#Infosys #NSE - another example of a stock in an uptrend. Consolidating nicely during its upwards journey. Giving multiple trading opportunities on the way for a short-term trader. For an investor, holding it till the weight of the evidence signifies trend reversal.
