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.

#Pocketpivot and it's characteristics:-

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.

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

@Jitendra_stock @punitbansal14 Nice VCP set up, tight build-up near resistance giving hope for another big rally. My short term target is 920. We can see #ingrevia in 4 digit candidate shortly.

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.

All my screeners in one place.

I like to keep it simple, so use just a few basic screens. And a lot of manual chart reading.

(Thread 🧵, read on...)

My main screen which I run every weekend to prepare my watchlist.

Near All-Time-High (ATH)

My auxiliary screen that I generally use when the trend template is generating too many candidates, and I need to zero in on the very best.
(Happens usually during strong up trending market)

Relative Strength (RS) List

My utility screen which I usually run at times when the market is experiencing general weakness within a longer term bull market, or during a bearish phase.

Gets me stocks holding up the best in the general weakness.

#CNBCTV18Exclusive | Atul Suri of Marathon Trends explains what the charts are indicating amid the current heightened global volatility

Inside Bar (IB) is an effective trading strategy where a range is formed & we trade on a Breakout/Breakdown.

What is IB?

Textbook definition of IB:
When the current bar is trading inside the previous candle's high and low (range)

Here's a live example from the Tata Steel Chart where you can see multiple IB forming on 15 minutes chart.

I've marked 2 IBs in the circle where we can find the mother candle & the inside bar candle.

So how do we trade this?

If the overall trend is bullish, then you should be looking at high on the mother candle. When the mother candle's high is broken, you can place your SL at:
1. Low of the mother candle, or
2. Low of the Inside Bar candle.

Both the eg are in charts:

And Vice Versa for the Bearish bias.

If the overall trend is bearish, then you should be looking at low on the mother candle. When the mother candle's low is broken, you can place your SL at:
1. High of the mother candle, or
2. High of the Inside Bar candle.

I prefer keeping the high or low of the inside bar candle as my SL.

Remember there are 100s of ways to trade this, ultimately your position sizing & risk management will come into play.

Position sizing can be calculated using the SL, and risk can be managed.
