4. Stock Trading Strategy

  • Using this strategy, you can get a chance to earn profit if you find a particular stock having upside trend and has continuously rise 15-20% in last 3-5 sessions. Such stocks can be easily found out from various site such as moneycontrol, nseindia.
  • Such strong upside trends are followed by a sharp PULL BACK of 3-10% in a single day because of profit booking.
  • To get the advantage of profit booking, one needs to identify and confirm the pull back .

Following Steps Will Help and Confirm The Pullback

  1. Select stocks as above instructed .Watch its price moment and note the opening price and closing price.
  2. If the stock is trading below its opening price around 9:30 AM then sell stock near its opening price with stop loss of the particular day’s high .
  3. Previous Day’s high should be noted as after reaching that point the prices will quickly fall.

The opposite strategy i.e. pull back after a strong downward move (15%-20% down in last 3-5 sessions). However, this  opposite strategy is less accurate.

Example:

Suppose “Infosys” rise from 900-1100 in last 3-5 sessions and today opened at 1090, given high 1120 and now trading at 1080-1089 around 9:30 AM, previous day close was 1075. There is a good opportunity to sell the stock around 1090(near opening price) with strict stop loss above 1120(above day’s high).

Get good profit. If the stock breaks and holds below 1075, there may be a quicker fall.

5. Gap up or Down Strategy

Gap up generally is a break between prices in chart that occurs due to sharp up or down move of prices with no trading in between. Such gap up-down can mainly create 2 opportunities :-

#Buying Opportunities:

Buying opportunity is generated when stock opens by margin gap up of 1%-2% of previous close and  touches previous day close after the gap up opening but then bounce back and again  breaks  the day’s opening price with stoploss set at day’s low .

Example:

BATA INDIA LTD

Previous day close : 400        Today open price:408

Previous day high: 405           Today low price: 401

There is a gap up opening at 408, giving low of 401 (between previous day’s high and close) but now bounced back and trading again  above 409 for 5-10 minutes. Here one can buy  BATA INDIA LTD around 408-409(above its day’s open price) with stop loss of  403(below previous day’s high) for targets of 410.

Example:

BATA INDIA LTD

Previous day close :400        Today open price:420

Previous day high:405           Today high price:425

There is a gap up opening  at 420 ,giving high of 425 and now trading at 415 (below its day’s open price) for 5-10 minutes. Here one can sell  BATA INDIA LTD around  420(near its open price) with  stop loss  of  426 for targets of 406-400(near previous day’s high and close).
