Trading Style :
TREND FOLLOWING MOMENTUM TRADING
๐Ÿ“ŒDarvas was tracking stocks only making new high
Trading stocks breaking 2-3 year high.
๐Ÿ“ŒBut 52-week high is mostly tracked for this theory
๐Ÿ“ŒEmphasized very much on Huge volume Breakouts

A typical Darvas Box Chart :
3/n
Rules to Follow :
Stock Price Should be within 15 to 20 % of Highs
Overall trend of the stocks should be up and greater than 200 ema
Preferably 100% up then the 52 week low
Look for Industry Leaders , with High Growth
4/n
How to Trade ?
๐Ÿ“ŒWhenever the stocks breaks the 52 week Keep them on watchlist
๐Ÿ“ŒLook that The next 3 candles should not break the 52 week high and fall below
๐Ÿ“ŒThe high point will be called as CEILING
๐Ÿ“ŒLook for Volume Breakout too or Breakout should be Above Average volume
5/n
Floor: Stoploss
๐Ÿ“ŒFloor is basically the a small reversal point or bottom the stock is trying to make.
๐Ÿ“ŒFloor is generally the stoploss of the trade
๐Ÿ“ŒThe bigger the range the bigger the stoploss and higher the Risk
6/n
Example : #GREENPANEL
After 52 week High , mark the Top: Ceiling
After a small Reversal mark the Bottom : Floor
Enter As soon as the 52 week high breaks with stoploss
7/n
#RADICO #MANINFRA
โœ…Enter When 52 Week High is Broken , and Keep Adding as and when the box formation takes place .
๐Ÿ›‘Keep Shifting the stoploss to next Box lows
8/n
PIC 1:
Entry on failed Breakout but Stops Dont hit as Stoploss is below the Box

PIC 2 : You should only draw boxes when the next 3 candles of 52 week high dont break the high.

9/n
Parameters checked : #MINDAIND
#kotakbank : Not valid Box , as stock is not breaking the 52 week high only the range breakout is happening

Also Restrict yourself to growth stocks that is midcaps and smallcaps
10/n

Trailing Stop and Pyramiding
1. Buy if price closes above Ceiling and put a stop-loss below Floor price.
2. Add Small Qtys as breakout happens and one can pyramid in winners and further breakouts
3. Ride the winner till you get Stopped
4. Reenter if stock regains 52 wk high
13/
3. After the breakout of the box, if price moves higher and forms another box, then trail stop-loss to the Floor price of the newly formed box and keep trailing on each subsequent floor.
4.Exit the trade when price goes below the floor price of the recent box.

Once Can refer the use of Moving Averages Throught this thread


4 Popular uses of moving averages

1. Identifying the direction of trend
2. MA crossover
3. Dynamic Support and Resistance
4. Price Crossing above Key EMAs

Note : In chart 21 ema is red , 50 ema is green and 200 ema is black

2/n


Why EMA and not SMA ?
EMA is fast , accurate and prices in recent data !
3/n


Use 1 : Identifying the trend of stock on dtf

The 21 ema will tell us the Short term trend of a stock , while the 200 ema will tell us the long term trend of a stocks

Any EMA that is sloping
:upwards trend is BULLISH
:sideways trend is NEUTRAL
:downwards trend is BEARISH

What is Rule Based Trading ?

In rule based trading you donโ€™t take trades based on what you think is going to happen , rather depend on data to tell you what can probably happen.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! ๐Ÿ‘‡

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
โ€ข Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):
https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
โ€ข Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
โ€ข The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent โ€” this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have โ€” though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
