TREND TEMPLATE CRITERIA by the Legend @markminervini

A stock must meet all eight criteria to be deemed in a confirmed stage 2 uptrend.

1. Stock price is above both the 150-day (30-week) and the 200-day (40week) moving average price lines.

A Thread🧵

Nothing will work in this market. Protecting capital is all that needs to be done.#SmallCap index still seems weak. I'm not seeing any signs of reversing. More declines are expected from current levels. Double top target-8900

#Pocketpivot and it's characteristics:-

pocket pivot,” or “buying in the pocket,” is an early base
breakout indicator, which is designed to find buyable pivot points within a stock’s base shortly before the stock actually breaks out of its chart base-

or consolidation and emerges into new high price ground.
Institutional investors do not like to buy breakouts to new highs. In fact, they generally prefer to buy stocks off of their lows, and sometimes the lower the better.

Of course, if we think about this for just one second we realize that it is the institutions that create the bottoms of chart bases, including the volume/accumulation clues along the lows of a constructive base formation. If investors had bought the breakout to new highs,

the sharp pullback below the 10-day moving average might have caused them to be shaken out of their position.However, buying on the pocket pivot buy
point before the stock rose would have given investors buying the stock at good point.

A pocket pivot points generally occurs within the stocks chart base, before the standard new-high breakout buy point appears. Pocket pivots can also appear as continuation buy point as stock move higher after launching out of a chart base or consolidation.

Pullbacks buying strategy after a breakout with example

• 1st pullback is a great buy.
• 2nd pullback is still fine
• 3rd pullback should be avoided.
• 4th pullback never buy it.

This is how new sector/stock emerges in a bear market. Even though the smallcap/midcap stocks beaten down hardly, still it held up 21 EMA nicely. Whenever the stock tested 21EMA it rebound like the action of the spring.

Not a buy recommendation.

7 effective trading journal tools that you can use to make better decisions (instead of just maintaining a trading journal):🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

Lets start with the harsh truth.

80% of traders just maintain a trading journal and never evaluate.

Recording your trades on day-to-day basis is just maintaining a trade book which your broker can furnish anytime.

Hence this exercise of recording trades is simply futile.

Things to record in the Trading Journal:

1.Long/ Short
2. Symbol
3. Qty
4. Buy Date
5. Buy price
6. Sell Date
7. Sell price
8. Profit/Loss
9. SL
10. % of cap risked
11.RoI %
12.RoCE %
13.Days held
14.R/R
15.Set up used

Once all the records are in place you need to build an analytics tool.

Trade records on its own is just the raw data which needs to be processed to derive info out of it.

Record your 50 or 100 trades.

Thereafter, analyse the following:

1. No. of wins
2. No. of Losses
3. % of winning trades ( No. of wins/Total trades)
4. Avg gain %
5. Avg loss %
6. Gain to Loss ratio ( 4./5.)
7. Reward to Risk ratio
8. Open Risk
