What to look for when the market gets volatile. (Thread)

↓

 The first thing you should be on the lookout for is tight price action in leadership names. During corrective markets, liquidity is low as market participants take a step back due to uncertainty.
This leads to larger price ranges and therefore tight action is a sign that liquidity is returning to the markets.

As certainty returns, price action becomes tighter and more rational.
This type of action is much easier to operate in as a retail trader since it allows you to define risk which is always first and foremost in any trading strategy.

Another key thing to look for is multiple RS days within specific stocks and groups.
RS ( Relative Strength) Days occur when a stock outperforms the market and other stocks during a corrective period.

If you need a refresher on Relative Strength techniques check out this blog post: https://t.co/zDX4FvqVLk
Watch for stocks that exhibit multiple Relative Strength Days over a span of weeks, not hours. Multiple Days of evidence (RS) will allow you to build conviction in the markets through observation, all the while preserving your hard-earned capital.
Relative Strength in and of itself is an institutional footprint. As retail traders, we must allow institutions to do the hard work while waiting and collecting evidence bit by bit, day by day, and allow the market to CONVINCE us for a span of a couple of days.
Institutions are the base builders, our goal is to ride the trends they create.

In addition to RS, you should be watching for decoupling action.
Decoupling action is when stocks start to ignore general market weakness and institutions begin to accumulate stocks they see as desirable.
Broad decoupling action in multiple groups is the key here, not a single name within a group, but multiple names within multiple groups. This adds to the evidence that the market may potentially be ready for an uptrend to resume.
During the days/weeks of corrective action you should continuously take notes. Just because the market is not favorable and you aren’t making a lot of $, it doesn’t mean you should turn the screens off and not do your homework.
Make consistent RS lists at the end of the day or every few hours when you have the time. These notes will keep you in tune with general market conditions and the stocks which consistently show up on your notes will be potential candidates to position in.
Homework is important, it cannot be skipped. Putting in the work now is what will prepare you for success when the uptrend resumes by having a ready list of actionable leaders that are showing relative strength.
As mentioned previously you should be taking special note of any groups that are outperforming together during turbulent markets. These are your PLGs (Potential Leadership Groups) during the next leg up.

Knowing your PLGs is important.
Remember that 50% of a stock's performance is tied to its Group. Knowing your PLGs is an important and a key component of outperforming the markets consistently.
During turbulent and uncertain markets, you should increase and decrease your exposure gradually in response to market conditions and how test trades have been performing. This is called practicing Progressive Exposure.
Exposure should NEVER be increased directly from 100% Cash to fully invested.

Such action will result in bad drawdowns and hurt your equity curve significantly.
If the market reverses its course from a downtrend/under pressure to an uptrend you will have PLENTY of opportunity and time to position in many names within the PLGs that are leading that trend.

If you are holding core positions, allow them to make progress first.
Let your existing cores have a few green sessions. That is added evidence that the market is potentially ready to resume an uptrend. If no progress is being made on your core positions then you are not in a position to be adding more exposure.
Progressively increasing exposure will allow you to get Market Feedback, and build your conviction over the course of weeks and not hours. The market is not going anywhere, so the focus should always be RISK first not money first.

Progress can only be made if you survive.
While making RS lists, it will become very clear what the next leadership crop may look like. You will have 3-4-5 groups/industries leading the rally.
The homework that is done when the market is turbulent is what will help you when it’s time to start increasing exposure from cash to your first position.

Progressive, Incremental exposure is key here.

You should not rush to be the first one in the pool.
You must progressively, incrementally, increase that exposure. Your first position should be in a name that has exhibited Relative Strength over a span of weeks, it should be from the PLGs that you’ve noted.
It should be a candidate that is LIQUID and considered a LEADERSHIP stock with CANSLIM fundamentals.

That first position is you testing the waters to gauge the temperature of the markets.
It must be the most textbook position you place so you can gauge the temperature well and be in tune with the markets.
If your first position to test the waters starts making progress, then you may go and add exposure progressively and allow the markets to CONVINCE you again and again, through tight, highly liquid, price action with WELL DEFINED risk.
In summary, you have to wait until trading conditions are right for your style before risking capital, both mental and financial.

How To Find Market Leaders During Corrections (Thread)

Market pullbacks and corrections are a natural process that may feel painful at first, but they set the stage for new true market leaders to emerge.

During a pullback the first thing you want to do is protect your capital and manage risk. You should rank your holdings and cut the lowest quality first.

How to grade your holdings with @mwebster1971

Protecting your capital and naturally transitioning to higher cash levels keeps you focused and objective, allowing you to begin the fun part, the treasure hunt for the next uptrend’s golden opportunities.

During a correction, institutions take the market weakness as an opportunity to add to their highest conviction holdings. This support will show up in the price charts as stocks with promise buck the overall market downtrend.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...

AGAMA SHASTRA:THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE MARVELS OF HINDU ARCHITECTURE

Agama Shastra is a Sanskrit word that means the manual for worship, temple building, rituals etc in Hindu Tradition.From Sanskrit,agama means handed down by tradition and Shastra means a commentary or treatise.


Therefore, Agama Shastra is a collection of ideas that drafts the rules for worship, temple construction, spirituality and rituals. It has been a guideline for many Hindus from ancient times. It's a collection of Sanskrit, Tamil and Grantha scriptures that mostly contains...


...methods of temple construction, idol creation, philosophical doctrines and meditative practices. It came into being after years of assimiliation and from a variety of sources. Some parts of it are pre-vedic while some are post-vedic.


Hindu Temples are not just temples, they are the pride and identity of Hindus. They are the symbols of Hindu unity and their religious aspirations. Temples are the places of spiritual healing and are our connection with the creator almighty.


Temples are the priceless treasure of our History, Heritage ,Art & Architecture. Architecture that mesmerises and spell bounds you. And Agama Shastra is that very text which is responsible for such a mesmerising and spell binding quality and beauty of our Hindu Temples.

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...


On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.


Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.


This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.


There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.

If you are the CEO or CFO at a business who banks with SVB; here are some things you CAN do over the weekend

1. Build a 4 week rolling daily receipts and payments style cashflow forecast.

2. Gear up finance team to actualize & reforecast every AM by 10am

3. Schedule a Daily Cash Management Crisis call for 10am every day. CEO to chair

4. Redirect any future cash receipts / revenue into non SVB accounts. Don’t throw fresh money on the fire.

5. If SVB is your only current bank. Open accounts with 2 other AA or A rated banks.

6. Go supplier by supplier and grade them a, b or c
a - showstoppers
b - pay if you can
c - don’t pay

You want as few a’s as possible, ideally none.

7. Find out how to get your $250k FDIC cash.

8. If you are able to pull any deposits or bonds back into a non SVB account. Do it. Put hands on any liquid you can.

9. Communicate a salary deferral plan with your top team. CEO takes the most pain $ and %. Important signal.

10. Elevate sign off of all new POs to CEO and CFO jointly. Don’t sign any off.

11. Make a list of ‘survival headcount’. The bare minimum on which the business can operate.

You may need this to prioritize payroll later.

GHATI SUBRAMANYA, DODDABALLAPURA (KAR)
#bharatmandir

One of the most important place for snake worship.
The murtis of Kartikeya and Narasimha are self-manifested.
There is an anthill which is opposite the shrine. Bhaktas pour milk on it as part of rituals.


Here Subramanya performed penance in the form of snake. He sought protection from Narsimha for Nagas from Sri Vishnu’s vehicle Garuda, known for his dislike towards serpents.
The Pushya Suddha Shasti is one of the biggest festivals here believed to be appearance day of Subramanya


It was in this region where Subramanya vanquished Ghatikasura, the demon. Hence called Ghati Subramanya.
Childless couples visit here to seek blessings for getting a child.
The installation of snake murtis near the shrine is believed to be an auspicious act.


The murti of Karthikeya with a seven headed cobra faces eastwards while Narasimha faces westwards.
To ensure that both are visible to bhaktas at the same time, a huge mirror is placed in the rear in the sanctum sanctorum.

Latest update from @TheBernician

1/19

Hancock, Whitty, Vallance & Ferguson Stand Accused of Pandemic Fraud.

After yet more damning evidence arose last week, further additions had to be made to the court papers, which we are now aiming to lay in the coming week.

2/19

The four defendants will be Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and Neil Ferguson, each of whom has inextricable and ultimately incriminating connections with Bill Gates and Big Pharma.

3/19

As well as three counts of fraud by false representation and seven counts of fraud by non-disclosure, under sections 2 and 3 of the Fraud Act 2006, we can now also prove that the entire worldwide scamdemic originated on these shores.

4/19

In fact, we can show that, without the dishonest statements and non-disclosures of the four defendants we are initially proceeding against, COVID-1984 would not have transpired.

5/19

Furthermore, the 1st defendant, Matt Hancock, cannot rely upon the defence of Parliamentary Privilege, on the ground that none of the evidence relied upon by the prosecution is capable of preventing parliamentarians from carrying out their lawful business in Parliament.

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991." https://t.co/DAEgchNyTP


OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
