Chasing extended #stocks is often not rewarded! What's extended?

1) >70% above EMA 200
2) Up 3 days in a row
3) >3 pullbacks on the EMA 21
4) >5% above trading base without pullback
5) >10% in one day It's better to wait for a consolidation before you enter.

#Trading tip: If stock is up >3 days in a row before a breakout, be cautious. Often it pulls back and you get a better risk-reward-ratio after the pullback.

4) Average ROE was 28%
5) Average RS was 92
6) Time from breakout to peak was 16 months

(2/n) Stock trading above 200 and 50 DMA

Buy high to gain higher. CMP above 50 Day Moving Average (DMA) and 50 DMA above 200 DMA signifies the stock to be in an uptrend. This is an uncompromisable rule. @ZerodhaVarsity @zerodhaonline

(4/n) Surge
