Never trust a slow mover
if demand is enough, it should go up fast
if not, a small increase in supply can trigger substantial fall

1. Stocks moving in tight range after hitting new ATH
2. Stock is among Top 5 in sector leaders
3. Sector out performing overall market
4. Rel strength at ATH
5. Volume flowing into the bullish side

Is probably closest I have seen to the #Holigrail which many are looking for

Thread on Importance of Mean Reversion

U must have remember the charts of auto sector breakout on last monday,potentially poised to be the next leader in the rally.
But since then it just fell bad and deep
Breaking the breakout bar low

1/7

The seemingly convincing breakout retest structure in abv daily chart takes a cocpletely different picture in u open the chart in weekly TF

shooting start at the resistance line of a triangle and at a major supply zone

2/7

Major stocks such as heromoto, maruti, eichermot and babajauto are already trading below the breakout level it established on monday when sector broke out

3/7

This poses a serious question on the risks associated with breakout.

Popularity behind the breakout is the fact that it doesnt need any skills to spot it, even a 90% blind man can spot it in any chart, because the price just sticks out from the rest by a very big margin

4/7

But think about a completely diffferent method where the price makes a clean move and the risks assicated with it is cubstantially less.

Price available so cheap and at support

5/7

Price very much likely to bounce off here. Price is auctioning around an area where high and agressive bids could come in

Do u want to study past bear markets?

Use Weekly chart
Plot Bollinger Bands with 50,2 setting
Locate when ever price hit lower band
Locate the highest swing high befoire the fall
The period in between is bear market

Here we have 4 such occations after 2010.

Stoploss is carved on the rock

Target is written on the sand

Thread : Trading Applications that I use on a daily basis🧵

1) After putting a detailed post on hardware & multi-monitor setup. Few asked for softwares I use for trading.

So I am listing softwares/apps which I find the most useful for trading & investing

2) Trading View or Kite app

I use trading view for intraday charts.

As I trade intraday, I use the 5 min time frame.

My chart is simple with 20 sma plotted on it along with CPR(central pivot range)

Price > 20 sma & CPR indicates bullish trend for intraday & vice-versa

3) Icharts

As I majorly trade option premiums(short volatility or theta decay strategies)

I keep a track of combined premium of strangle using @iChartsIndia

Combined premium should be trending down & below VWAP to create a strangle

4) QuantsApp

As I need to provide analysis on TV channel.

I need to analyse overall market breadth, futures data & option chain activitiy.

@quantsapp provides

Futures Data : Long Builtup/Short Builtup
Options Data : Max Call OI/ Put OI
Market Breadth : For overall sentiment

5) Spider

I used @SpiderSoftIn to scan momentum stocks for intraday.

Spider helps in identfiying :

stocks hitting 52 week high/ low
Stocks making day high/low
Stocks with large buying single orders

I have earlier shared some setups/strategies for Intraday. One of them was ORB (opening range breakout) setup.. but I still get DM about this. So here's a thread about how to find ORB stocks: (1/12)

Stocks that are in consolidation or on the verge of a breakout and has already given a breakout from consolidation - both category stocks should be in your watchlist.

Now the question is.. with so many stocks around, how one must filter and check? (2/12)

I mostly trade in F&O stocks in Intraday - it has 188 stocks after new addition and can be filtered as per sector rotation.
Find the sector or theme with good recent performance and keep its stocks in watchlist. I keep an alert for breakout price when I see a good chart. (3/12)

Another way to filter stocks is to keep an eye on the new additions in the F&O and the stocks that are in news.

Not every stock gives a move of 7-8%. Look for stock that move 7-8% in one go when they give a breakout (Stocks unlike ITC that moves once in a year). (4/12)

There are a few stocks that are tailor made for ORB. And those stocks should be in your watchlist.
IRCTC, Mindtree, Bajaj Twins, IEX, TataElxsi, Naukri, Coforge are some great examples. Rest you can observe and add.
Recent examples 👇(5/12)

The biggest winners have great earnings on the table right near the start of their massive mega move.

Look for Eps growth and acceleration stocks

Your big winners of the next bull market will most likely be from this list
