hi vishy nice work!!!!

unitech= h/s, target will be 73.

idfc=broadening top. target 182

idbi= i dont think this is a broadening top, at least 3 distinct tops and 2 distinct bottoms are need to qualify, and pattern should form over a long time, here bottoms are relatively flat

reliance= a break down below 1050 will confirm it, target will be 1000

gujnrecoke= h/s ,a break below 58 will confirm the pattern, target will be around 30

ashokeley= yes right again, its broadening top, target will be around 60

sesa goa= yes going to be a h/s, let us get a break down below 320 plus some filter say around 310, target will be around 150-130. though it will take time and wont break down too fast, and when it will happen,it will be a disaster (bd point will be around 320 not 350, plz see the chart im posting)

Casper,

anger3

My 5 picks include DLF, Bharti, RCOM, ONGC, and ICICIBANK. You should short them only if nifty closes below 6000.

I have short positions in DLF, BHARTI and ICICIBANK and sitting on good profits.

Please look at the charts and carefully decide your entry and exit levels. It is not necessary that all the targets would be achieved in one or two days.

Note: If Nifty recovers, these stocks could retrace back to their break down levels, so if you are scared to short at these levels wait for any retracements and then go short when price is very near to break down levels so that have tight stop loss.

Casper,
Please share me the factors you usually use to decide the best stocks for Selling/Buying.

Vishy.

Casper,
I was going thru nifty heavyweights. I observed the following. Please check them aslo.
Vishy

Nifty Heavyweights
===================
1. Reliance - Double Top break down, Broadening Top formation
2. LT - Broadening top formation, break down level at 1980
3. Infosys tech - head and shoudlers, break down at 2970-2980 levels
4. ICICI Bank - Taking support at exactly 38.2% FIB retracement levels. break down would lead to next level
50% FIB retracement level - 1177,
5. HDFC Bank - Symmetrical Triangle, triangle support at 2270-2280 levels.
6. HDFC - Symmetrical Triangle


due to heavy power cut could not post last night, so posting now, i have gone through all the scrips u mentioned buddy.only i would say that in case of infosys, the left shoulder is not prominent one, but still if it breaks the support line, downfall will occur.

vishytns/casperji,
you have posted charts of a no of stocks. can you now tell us which are 5 TOP stocks best for buy and sell for mondays trade , using any one indicator and any of the patterns you trust most. i think p/l ratio would be important for selecting the top stocks + reliability of the pattern. would you also take into consideration open interest, in case of f&o stocks? kindly elaborate
regards,
girish


from sell side i would say dlf.unitech, bhartiartl and we may consider apollotyre -1m but in case of apollo the gap down factor may come in to the picture,

as from Saturday evening we have discussed about various types of break down, now i am going to put a few break out candidates, which i feel would zoom if they sustain their respective break out levels

lotuseye= target 21,23

eclerx = target 700,730,750.780

lumaxtech= target 220-235

dewanhous= if closes above 325 then 340-355 in coming days

vishy/girish bhai, i dont use many indicators during break outs, i only go for price action and volume, in case of normal positional holding, i use bollinger band, rsi and macd,

i think the idea of open interest is quite similar to the idea of volume, so i dont use it separately and as i trade mostly in bo/bd scrips nowadays, as these scrips are quite volatile due to break out and break down situation, so i dont follow any stock selection procedure strictly,

my favourite patterns are ascending triangles. descending triangles, symmetrical triangles and pennant, i try to find these patterns for trading instead of finding any particular stock

hi girish bhai,
yes u r right, and the fact that apollo tyre is going to go down heavily can be confirmed from the broadening top pattern also.

vishal, thanks and welcome! Very Happy

mr. sachin rathi,

sir plz let me know if u r considering an intraday or a positional short here? in case of intra day i prefer to decide it after viewing the real time chart(live intra day chart)

if u think to go for positional, u can use 350 by closing in case of dlf.
sbin 3180 by closing and bhartiartl 330 by closing,

special care should be taken in case of sbin, as target is small in comparison with stop loss and 89 ema is present around 3000, if u r not a risky trader, then u can avoid the sbin (in fact we were supposed to short it around 3400 and book around 3000-2950)

again, in case of heavy gap down opening the stocks may open around their respective targets also, in that case, we may see a choppy move or even a bounce back for intraday only, in that case, intra day shorts should be avoided



Sir
Thank You Casper, for providing the SL. I m basically a Positional trader but also trade intraday. I have been trading trades only on Breckout & break down trades.
I m not able to calculate the SL's, what is the basic structure for SL. Please guide me if u can. Thank you very much once again.

Regards
Sachin Rathi

calculating a stop loss is a tricky job,there is no hard and fast method.let us clear the basic situation a little bit elaborately,

why we need a stop loss??

i think the answer should be, after entering a trade, there are lot of chances, lot of unforeseen activities in the market, which can go against our trade, when we are using a stop loss, we are just limiting those unforeseen factors up to that level(stop loss level), and unless this level is breached, we will hope that the force which is going against our trade, will reverse in our favour.

that means, here we strongly believe two things:-

1. until the stop loss level is breached, there is possibilities, that the force may reverse in our favour
2.there will be less or absolutely no possibility for us if the level is breached by any means

now, let us incorporate these two points into a situation.

suppose, we are to short, then we will try to short at at resistance and will try to cover at a support,so here the resistance is the cause of the trade, and this resistance, until breached, will resist the price and price will go down and by any means, if this resistance is breached, then price will go upward and the resistance will act as a support to that up move, so in case of breaching this resistance, our trade becomes meaningless.
so this resistance level,with some cushion will act as our stop loss

in case of buy trade (long), we will buy at support and sell at resistance, and this support is the cause of buying ,hence it,with some cushion,should be our stop loss.

each time im using some cushion, because, due to intraday volatility, the support/resistance can be breached, but may not sustain, if u dont use a cushion with the original sup/resi level, then ur sl will be hit and then price will reverse

now our job will be to find out the points which has such characteristics, though it will vary case to case, but we can say some important ema, specially those who are fibonicci numbers such as 8/13/21/34/89 ema, upper and lower levels of bollinger band,in case of break out trading, the break out level(the upper trend line of the pattern) break down level (lower trend line of the pattern) can be considered as a potential sl.

in addition to that those who use pivot points, cam level,fib level, ichart levels can also use these levels as their stoploss

last but not least, Very Happy ( i know, u may be thinking that casper is writing a novel here but plz bear with me Smile )
in some cases, u may find that stop loss, calculated by any of the aforesaid methods, if get breached, will deliver a serious blow to ur economical health, so ur fingers might itch to bring it down to a comfortable level, BUT NEVER EVER DO THAT,IF U DO THIS, THEN THE SIGNIFICANT OF THE STOPLOSS WILL VANISH AND UR POSITION WILL BE VULNERABLE, IF U CANT AFFORD TO GET THAT STOP HIT, U JUST AVOID THAT TRADE AND FIND ANOTHER ONE, WHERE, U CAN DIGEST THE SL HIT,so instead of searching a trade by profit prospect, i feel its better to search a trade where risk component is low

thats all for now, if u want to know any thing else, plz feel free to ask

Dear Casper,
Thanks once again for your valuable comment & time.
That is very true when u dont have SL, then u may get vanished at any given point of time. And if anyone can digest the SL then he/she may enter the trade. So here risk reward ratio becomes very important.
Unless and until your risk reward ratio permits u, after going the study mentioned by you one should not enter the trade. Again Thanks very much.
Waiting for your more calls, as and when it comes.
Regards
Sachin Rathi
