How to select good Breakout Trades:

Breakouts in the direction of the general trend

The longer the market is in a range, the stronger the breakout

Stock making higher lows near resistance zone
(lower highs near support zone is a sign of weakness)

Here comes the 3rd and final part of the long weekend 'Beginners' Pathway" series.

In this we'll see Open Interest basics and Option Chain Analysis.

There are two types of Options, Call Option & Put Option.

This graphics show when to buy and when to sell options.

The first thing that we need to know is the moneyness i.e. whether an Option is At the money (ATM), In the money (ITM) or Out of the Money (OTM).

The strike closest to the market price is At The Money.

I have tried to explain OTM & ITM in a very simplistic & easy manner.

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.

** MEGA THREAD ON INVESTING **

I was thinking about what kind of resources I'd want to have if someone has to start learning investing right now, the ones I wish I had two three years back.

This thread is a compilation of the best resources I have come across. 👇👇👇

Let's start with ** BOOKS **

1) The Intelligent Investor - Ben Graham :

Classic book, suggested by investors all over the world. Start with this book.

2) One up on Wall Street

Peter Lynch covers his strategies to find 10 baggers, and describes how an average Joe can do as well as the pros with simple methods and rock solid discipline and consistency backing it.

3) Common Stocks Uncommon Profits

This is a Phil Fisher classic.

It's on the other end of the spectrum as the book dives into a deep qualitative approach in value investing rather than being fully quantitative like Ben Graham's.

4) Security Analysis

Another book by Ben Graham that dives deep into analysing and understanding the valuations of any company you pick up to study.

1) WklyChart
2) 30 wk MA and 10 Wk MA
3) 10 ma at 45 degree steep.
