While trading in stocks, how do you survive in a choppy market and make profits? Here's how I do it 🧵

Choppy markets are difficult to trade. When there's an uptrend like it was in mid-2020 and 2021, it's easy to find out stocks in different ways. (1/18)

 And when it is in a clear downtrend, we can simply avoid trading in cash scrips and can take the benefit of selling in F&O.
We don't know for how long the market will be choppy - could be a few days, 2 months, 6 months or a year. (2/18)
You just can't sit with 100% cash for trading in stocks that long. A way to trade needs to be figured out.
After a clear uptrend, market changes the trend and sometimes goes sideways/consolidate for the time being. (3/18)
When it falls after an uptrend, there will be so many supports midway - sometimes it doesn't fall freely. The question is... how can we take trades at this time in cash scrips?
Method One:
When Nifty and small-cap/midcap Index comes at major support keep a watchlist ready. (4/18)
This watchlist is of stocks which are at major support too or at 20, 50 EMA (generally stocks bounces from here if the market supports). Try to find stocks from a strong sector/theme. The next day, if we get a bounce, trade Intraday in that stocks. (5/18)
If watchlist isn't working, find top gainers with small SL. Carry only if there's strong closing with limited quantity OR book half/carry half. Or take trade till next imp. resistance - basically, reversal trades but with strict exit rule.
(Read prev. Swing Trading thread)(6/18)
Method Two:
(Have written about it in the previous thread and my personal favourite)

If there is any major reason behind changing trend or the sudden fall, we have to figure out what sector can benefit from that reason. (7/18)
In covid time, initially, the pharma sector shot up. After covid, it was the textiles and once Nifty made a lifetime high, every other sector started buzzing.
This time, Russia Ukraine war had directly affected 2-3 sectors - Metals, Chemicals and Energy. (8/18)
From oil to wheat to chemicals, every commodity was seeing a spurt in its prices amidst the clogged supply chains. If you check, they were defensive sectors. Even when the market was falling, they were coming up. (9/18)
Avoid sectors where the Index breaks support and goes downtrend Eg. IT sector, FMCG. Use them for selling in F&O. Chemical theme cash scrips gave good move and returns. Focus on outperforming stocks first, then move to others -GNFC, Polyplex, Gujarat Alkalies and many more(10/18)
Energy Index gave breakout when Nifty was falling. A clear indication of outperforming sector. A few stocks like NTPC, Reliance and some cash scrips gave a good move. We can't get a good accuracy all the time, but we can increase our chances to be right with this method. (11/18)
In a choppy market, many stocks give fake breakouts every now and then. They can't sustain without market support. If you choose a weak sector breakout stock, chances are you will get stuck in a fake breakout.
Alertness is important in a choppy market. (12/18)
If you enter breakout stock and not getting follow up move the next day; if Nifty is down too- exit immediately. When market is in uptrend, we think it might take retest and we wait even if it falls. Don't take risks in choppy markets - chances of fake breakouts are more. (13/18)
Getting out of the stock is important. Accidents like Chambal, Polycab, Adaniports can always happen.

Check the charts for more understanding: (14/18)
In F&O, sell the weak sectors' stocks. Buy the strong sectors' stocks. You can always keep diversification like this. OR, if you're buying defensive stocks and Nifty is weak, you can always hedge them with Nifty. I did this a lot in April month. (15/18)
When IT index started falling, it fell one-sided and so were stocks. When stocks reach major supports, take an exit once or trail strictly. While selling, always sell underperforming stocks first then come to outperforming ones that too if market is clearly in downtrend. (16/18)
FMCG too was in clear downtrend till March. Auto was sideways to bullish - use such a sector in either Intraday or avoid it for time being.
Don't trade too much in choppy markets.. keep your positions limited, keep maximum positions in defensive stocks. (17/18)
Keep strict exit rules. Be prepared for multiple entries and exits without any frustration. Our motive is to survive this market, can always make good money in trending markets. Trust me, if you strictly follow the mentioned rules you will most likely have good profits. (18/18)

How to find out the expected targets and what should be the exit criteria when you enter a trade - 🧵

Possible ways to find out the target:

Check if any patterns forming - it gets quite easy to figure out the targets that way. (1/15)

Let's say cup and handle. Our first target in this case will be the height of the handle and final target will be height of the whole cup. It's the same with H&S. First target will be the height of the shoulder and final will be the height of the head. (2/15)

In triangles, the targets will be height of the whole triangle.

Sometimes, after hitting the first target.. stock starts consolidating or take a retest of the breakout. On some occasions, stock gives one sided move non-stop.. without any pullback. (3/15)

A lot depends on the stock behaviour too. If a particular Index gave a breakout, then too stock gives final target without pullback.

Also, if stock gives weekly breakout and market is trending during that time.. even then it gives a one sided move. (4/15)

Recently, we've seen many such stocks -- Kotak Bank, TataMotors, TataPower.

Other helpful thing I learned from @Traderknight007 about exit criteria is using volume expansion and DMA/EMA. I began using it and benefitted. This is recently observed in TCS, DLF & many others. (5/15)

If you are new to F&O, you can start with Vertical Spreads (Debit and Credit spreads) instead of buying options in Stocks and Indices.
Here are some ways how you can do it, when you can do it and the right position sizing for doing it... 🧵 (1/25)

Traders who are trading in cash and want to explore options generally start with options buying without much knowledge. They buy OTM strikes and trade with wrong position sizing. With no idea about the perfect entry, they end up feeling that F&O is risky. (2/25)

After losses in F&O buying, this is how I approached it and it rewarded me pretty well in initial phase. I find this strategy easy to start things off. And then, you can explore other strategies too and find what works for you. (3/25)

Vertical spread is a directional, defined risk options trading strategy:
1. Bull call spread (Debit spread)
2. Bull put spread (Credit spread)
3. Bear call spread (Credit spread)
4. Bear put spread (Debit spread)

Read about these strategies in the below articles. (4/25)

While going through these strategies, you must have thought you have to wait till expiry for profits/loss. (5/25)

Yesterday Subasish Sir from Power of Stocks made his first 1.5cr on Intraday

So let's have a look what we can learn from his today's profit:

• He generally build positions at previous swing break or after seeing a reversal candle after some retracement


• He generally creates his positions at 1st half of market
After that he just do adjustments and other things to his existing positions
• He trail his positions at previous swing high/low level


• He watch 5 min time frame to find reversals (W or M pattern) at Support/Resistance


• He generally short ITM options with hedge at 2000 far strike for margin benefit
• He leaves CE short options alone for overnight only if it decays over 20-30% after his entry

• But he never leaves PE short options alone (except where it become deep OTM) cause market generally gap up by small % but it can gap down by huge % due to any economic fear
• He always keep hedges(CE/Future short)to protect down side risk while he leave PE short for overnight

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🧵

2. The 150-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average

3. The 200-day moving average line is trending up for at least 1-month (preferably 4 to 5 months or longer).

4. The 50-day (10-week moving average) is above both the 150-day and the 200-day moving averages.

5. The current stock price is at least 25 percent above its 52-week low. (Many of the best selections will be 100 percent, 300 percent, or more above their 52-week low before they emerge from a healthy consolidation period and mount a large-scale advance).

6. The current stock price is within at least 25 percent of its 52-week high
(the closer to a new high the better).

7. The relative strength (RS) ranking (as reported in Investor's Business
Daily) is no less than 70, but preferably in the 90s, which will generally be the case with the better selections.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?

1) My Stan Lee story happened when I was in 5th grade. I was visiting NYC with my Dad and had read the address for Marvel in the comics I read constantly. I begged my Dad to take me and to his credit he did. And guess what? It was just an office.

2) We were down in the lobby and I was kind of crushed. I don’t know what I expected, The Thing and the Yancy Street Gang to be sitting around smoking cigars? Anyway, my Dad was taking a beat to figure where we were going next and a guy came up to us.

3) He was wearing a white shirt and tie and said to Dad “Is he disappointed because. The Marvel offices were just offices?” My Dad said yes and then the guy who had gray around his temples and a mustache said “hold on a second” and opened one of those office mailboxes with a key.

4) He then handed me a thick stack of EVERY SINGLE MARVEL COMIC COMING OUT THE NEXT MONTH. “Here you go. Keep reading Marvel comics” he said and then walked off. I left in a daze and about 15 minutes later it hit me “Gray around the temples, mustache... That was Stan Lee!”

5) Later when I wrote on the Ant Man movie I told Kevin Feige the story, the year, look of the guy etc and Kevin said “That’s exactly the kind of thing Stan would do and he would have been there then. That was him.” Rest In Peace Stan Lee and thank you for the comics.

Hello, writers! How about a thread on LITERARY AGENTS? How to get one, how to talk to one, how to keep one happy. Spoiler alert: I am 100% pro agent and can't imagine not having one on my side. 1/

Why would you want a literary agent?
* you want to be traditionally published
* you want someone experienced to help guide your career
* you want to learn how to edit like a pro
* you want to sell foreign and movie rights
* you want answers to your newbie questions 2/

Why you might *NOT* want a literary agent:
* you want to self publish
* you're not willing to compromise on your edits
* you don't think their expertise is worth 15% of your advance
I... can't think this way. Literary agents have been crucial to my career. 3/

So, how do you get a literary agent?
1. Have a finished, revised, edited, polished manuscript.
2. Write a query letter for your book
3. Send your query to agents who rep your genre and are open to submissions
4. Repeat steps 1-4 until you're offered representation. 4/

So, let's go through those four steps. First of all, you must have a finished, revised, edited, polished book, and it must be sellable. That is, you can't sell a 600k picture book or a 40k adult Fantasy, etc. You must read extensively in the genre you're writing. 5/
