Read about "#Bollingerbandstartegy" here.

Read again till you understand the logic fully of a "Moving avg (13Sma) & its upper & lower band" mechanism and then,

Apply on charts of your short listed stocks and understand how the trades/ investments would have worked -back testing

Why does a stock not go up or sustain gains despite "Day" Trend indicator (Macd) displays +ve div & moves higher ?
Why does another stock with similar Macd set up go up & sustain it's gain & even makes ATH
What is being missed here?
How to choose a stock that will sustain gains ?

Oftentimes, in our rush to study many stocks, we miss the most important & "elementary" factor.

A simple one, "IF" not taken seriously, we end up with a stock that promises but does not deliver and miss the one that has the potential.

Know this & you'll be on the winning side🙂

Why ?
Always give weightage to "higher t/f".
Here, when you look at a Day chart, check to see what the week says.
#Hdfc week says, it's weak, trending down & below the trigger.
So does, #nifty50
When week Macd is down & below trigger, Day Macd being up will have not much impact.

How ?
When you give weightage to "higher t/f" & then look at Day chart, you align with higher force
#Tataconsum week says, it's strong, trending up & above the trigger
So does, #Tatasteel
When week Macd is up & above trigger, Day Macd being up will align with higher divine forces

Give weightage to "higher t/f" & then look at Day chart, aligning with higher force
When week Macd is up & above trigger, Day Macd being up will align with higher force
Following list(out of 50 being followed) shows strong, trending up, Neutral & Weak, trending down
Choose wisely

#TCS
Holding 3460-3480, likely to move towards 3600-3650 zone.
#Elliottwave possibility
#Divergence +ve strength
#Trendindicator turning up for ST.

#Kotakbank
One of the weakest Banking stock presents this pattern.
It has some work to do to establish it's strength but it's at such a low risk spot.
Anything goes wrong, the SL is close by.
And, when goes right, you just gotta sit tight !!

Macd is the simplest & most reliable indicators available. Macd uses Moving Averages & turn them into momentum indicator by subtracting longer MA from shorter MA. The subtracted value when plotted forms a line that oscillates above & below zero, without any upper/ lower limits.

Using shorter Moving Average (5 & 10) will produce a quicker, more responsive indicator (fast macd), while using longer MA (12 & 26) will produce a slower indicator (Slow macd), less prone to whipsaws.

Macd measures the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).

A +ve Macd indicates that 5 or 12-day Ema is trading above 10 or 26-day Ema. A -ve Macd indicates that 5 or 12-day Ema is trading below 10 or 26-day Ema. If Macd is -ve & declining, then -ve gap between faster MA & slower MA is expanding & Downward momentum is accelerating..

Investors: with huge portfolio use week macd to spot -ve div. to "Part Book" once & during Bearish Cross over 2nd "Part book" & last one at Bearish centreline crossover. Start buying in parts when +ve div. start & add more with Bullish cross over & Bullish centreline crossover

Traders: Use in combo with basic EW knowledge to make entry & exits. When you combine studies of diff. time frames such as Week, Day & Hour, you have potentially a system which will follow prices to good accuracy.
No foolproof system but only more efficient one in relative term.
