APAR IND - SWING/POSITIONAL TRADE SETUP & SOME MARKET COMMENTARY

Here is the post where i mentioned about 3 live trades. https://share.gvine.app/pUjNH4n7qnU3kYgM9 SBI - I have added more of SBI at 732 today. If i had 500 quantities, I have added 250 more. GENERAL INSURANCE - IT went up 25% and gave back all the gains. I am still holding, a good amount of shakeout has happened. APAR IND - Nice bit of shakeout here as well just around buy price lets see. Still holding. New positions i am currently building in - SBI - Added Today RELIANCE - Added Today COAL INDIA- Added Yesterday GAIL - 33% today BPCL - 33% Today HINDPETRO -33% Today J&K BANK OIL INDIA Angel one NIACL KARURVYASA B UFO MOVIES INDIA For some stock i am using 1 time scale in SBI, Reliance,Coal India. For the names which are stretched i am using a pyramiding approach .ie. 33% in 3 rounds. If the market reverses these stretched names will fall a lot so I don't want to take a lot of risk. I will keep buying until Nifty is above 50 DMA. The moment i see it slipping below it, I will stop buying. Its good sign that Nifty Bank is stabilising and trying to move up. Also the current sector leader .i.e Oil and Gas, Energy, PSU, PSE are recovering well after a fall.

I had shared about 3 trades here and rationale behind taking it. You can check it here - https://share.gvine.app/sugCF7MjAeSSFkvh6 SBI - BUY Price 635 Up around 10% General Insurance - 360 Up around 25% APAR IND - Just around the buy price of 6200. It is not of surprise to me what SBI has been doing among all the Large Caps. It was doing the right thing for the last 1 month and then started moving silently. Bank Nifty is not in the right structure, we will get a periodic pullback in SBI. The strategy is to hold and sit tight. I will use periodic pullback to add again into SBI again and will hold until the structure deteriorates. Trend is not going to be smooth like in DLF, Tata M etc. PSU bank space was silent for so many years and now they are posing a great competition to private banks. Private banks need to revamp to attract at such prices. GENERAL INSURANCE - It is a small cap and moves can be pretty wild. I did not explain the structure, i will do it once trade hits a certain %. APAR IND is taking its time, i like it when Stock consolidates absorb all the supply, shakeout a lot of participant and then move higher. Lets see how this trade pans out. Any trade that will be taken from now on needs to monitor closely.

This was my last post where i mentioned that Nifty 100 is the way to go ahead if one wants to build newer positions. https://share.gvine.app/8aJtMzoHxdWv7hPv5 Stocks like ABB, SIEMENS, PIDILITE , COLPAL, MARUTI, LT, JINDAL S, TATA M , SUNPHARMA are few names that have offered Entry opportunities. When i am getting a good Risk : Reward, i buy whatever i wanna buy in 1 time scale in. Out of the above list SIEMENS, ABB, MARUTI, COLPAL started moving before the indices. Generally these stocks are the leaders of the next upleg . Such stocks need to be tracked closely, they will offer plenty of opportunity to those who missed it. More often than not they will outperform the market. Don't chase any stock that is flying eg. Maruti, ABB wait for Risk : Reward to come in your favour. If it gives a mini pullback, get in, if not then let it fly. Look for another opportunity. I have also built positions in Nifty Future at 22,220 today. In my last post i updated about entering Nifty Bank, that trade is still on and i have captured 700 odd points, Let's see what happens in days to come. Pullback got confirmed today in Nifty. It broke out of the high volume node range, valid pullback ended , it kept bouncing above multiple AWAP levels (forgot to add that in the photo). This was a confluence of data points for me. Getting in the market at the right time is very crucial. If one gets it right, the journey ahead for the next upleg is relatively easy. The market will shakeout late participants, if you get it right, you get a lot of cushion to work with and you wont be shaken out of the market that easily. We are moving up in the medium term. If i see anything changing or i cut my positions, i will update here. Bank nifty and nifty is a deadly combo, i hope Bank Nifty keeps chipping in on regular intervals. Happy Trading :)

Link to my 1st Post where i discussed about SBI. https://share.gvine.app/yYujDrw15CLsLxC59 I have scaled in 70% in SBI. (Avg 635). Bank Nifty is struggling but this is the Risk Reward kind of trade for me. I just took 1 trade in Small cap space last week GICRE  with Average buy price of 360. I will make a detailed post after it gives me more than 50% return or if i book out. In my next post i will bust a few myths/misconceptions related to trading and one of them might be holding you back from venturing into this field. At the end of the post i have given 5 stock e.g. check them out as well. --------------------------------------------- Why i selected Inox wind for the post not every stock in my small-mid cap portfolio is up over 100%. I wanted to show yall that capturing such a move is totally possible. You need not to have in-depth knowledge of fundamentals like margins, M3 money, Nifty PE, unemployment rate etc or business understanding in depth. With all due respect there is a reason why 99% of economists don't make massive wealth out of the market. Having a knowledge of these things is 1 skill & generating wealth out of the market is a completely different skill. I am trying to master the 2nd one so if you are an average person like me,Read ahead. It's not like I don't look at these fundamentals data points. You can have 1000 data points but you need just a few actionable ones. There is a thin line between analysis and analysis Paralysis. Most people get stuck in this paralysis. Sometimes i decide how much exposure i need to have depending on the dollar index sometimes depending on what crude oil is doing. But I don't over-complicate it too much. When to look at what data point we will get it with experience. I am still in the learning phase. Growth lies in small mid cap space and capturing such moves at the right time through just fundamentals is a stretch. That's where technicals come in for me. I can capture such moves. CHECK OUT THE COMMENT --

The broad trajectory of the market is going to be up with volatility. Some adjustments need to be made to the trading style. https://share.gvine.app/yXc9GETSiWn8c2Uz8 In this post i had stated that ICICI is setting up for the move. I entered 50% last week, and i have fully scaled-in this week. There are 2 themes in the market right now. The one that has momentum for eg, Nifty Oil and Gas, Energy , PSU, AUTO. These sectors have underlying momentum but risk reward is not great, these can exhibit crazy movements but volatility can kill your trade. Other themes are Bank Nifty, FMCG, CONSUMPTION , METAL.Risk reward exits here. These sectors are under performing and undervalued in the current market context. From here on i am only going to build new positions in these sectors. For eg in Bank i have built positions in SBI, ICICI, now Axis if it sets up. SBI is taking its sweet time, consolidation is healthy. I want to build another 200 quantities so i am buying 20 25 stocks daily to take advantage of the volatility. It will set up again and move up. Let's see how things progress.

This was my last market update. I built a portfolio in real-time, explaining what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. https://share.gvine.app/VaSwtbqJVzF384YRA I have given a list stocks in the comment section where i want to build newer positions. I have given some psychology related tips as well. Check them out. Out of the list Jindal, ABB, Siemens, Colpal, ICICI B, TATA S I did cut down on ICICI Bank and Colpal last week as they were around 2-3% gain. I found another opportunity in Havells as well. Although I didn't make a post about it or update it here, I did discuss it with @TheOatmeal in the DMs when i got in. My avg Buy price is 1575. I have certainly been very lucky in this cycle. Well it's not just pure luck i did identify leaders of the current run and have been doing this for quite some time now. But the moves in my portfolio have been amazing and pretty smooth during recent fall as well. My top 3 winners are - Jindal - +23.14% ABB - +39% SIEMENS - +44.32% These 3 stocks have given me a lot of cushion to operate further. None of the above 3 stocks violated their trending pivot during the market fall. I made a few posts about SBI and that trade is still on. Check it here. https://share.gvine.app/yXc9GETSiWn8c2Uz8 https://share.gvine.app/yYujDrw15CLsLxC59 Today's session was excellent. The Nifty moved around 300 points in just 20 to 25 minutes, potentially wiping out months of gains for option writers and cleared up all the short term bearish players out of the system.Such moves in a single day can decimate months and months of hardwork. Just stay away from options if you can. VIX often rises during election years, as seen in 2014 and 2019. I will only be concerned if it crosses 30 and stays there. Otherwise, it's not worth overanalyzing.People link rise in VIX with Possibility of government changes but if the market senses a shift, 8-12% would just go in a few sessions. The market will not give us a lot of time to manage our positions.

Check comment for update on silver & next sectors. A lot of things have happened since my last update. I was caught in election volatility & booked out 50% of my positions. I was hoping for further slippages in the market, but prices started recovering the next day & eventually, I built everything back in the next 2 days. Currently from last week i have started booking out profits from my positional trades. 1 day before the election my portfolio for this FY was up around 26% & due to election volatility it came down to about 9 %. It is back again to the previous levels, a bit above. I wont sell my top 2 stocks but i am booking out the rest gradually. Now the rationale behind locking profit is that, in the last month, the portfolio fluctuated from 26 - 9 - 29. If markets go into trouble, I don't want to give back 20% twice to the market in 1 month. If I have 100 shares, I book out 5-10 every day, so that I can get a good average if the price keeps moving up. I have already booked 50% of my total positions. This process is called BOOKING OUT ON STRENGTH. I am taking advantage of the parabolic move. Us markets are currently thinning out & a handful of stocks are taking it higher, soon our market will experience the same. As of now there are no triggers in our market. But it just takes 1 session for the sentiment to change. Now, I cannot let my money sit idle in my account, that would be foolish for a trader. What I am doing is getting into sector ETFs of Banks, It , Auto. ETFs are less volatile, if the market is going to move 5-7% more from here until Budget, my returns will be in tune with the market. I am fine if I don't outperform the market for the next 5-7%. After budget i will reasses the situation and will get back again into equities. It is also a good feeling to book out & bring that money home. Whenever opportunities arise in subsequent quarters I can hit it hard & go full throttle since I have a good cushion.

SBI has moved around 20% for me. I'll explain how I plan to manage this trade ahead. You can read how and why I picked SBI here - https://share.gvine.app/yYujDrw15CLsLxC59 I have created my Substack, & I will begin posting there next week. I will drop the link here, so subscribe if you're interested :) I will also show who is interested, how to build a trading portfolio and enter the market at the right time in the next cycle after the correction. How one can outperform the market. ------------------------- The stocks that are on my radar are- ICICI B , JSW, Wipro, M&M. M&M has already given the entry but will wait for the pullback to get in. I picked up Wipro around 460. I selected Wipro before I started posting here, but will explain in another post how I chose it, just to give an idea of how to catch such moves. JSW Steel and ICICI Bank are getting ready, and I will initiate a trade when I get confirmation. I have entered with a probe quantity just to track it on a daily basis. They are doing the right thing for now. Again, I will only initiate if I get confirmation. I won't preempt. Why am I going behind JSW, SBI, ICICI Bank, and Wipro? Why behind Bank Nifty, Metal index,Nifty IT when PSU, Infra, Realty, Oil, and Energy are going crazy? Look at the index of Auto, Realty, Infra, PSU, Oil, and Gas, Energy. They have been consistently outperforming. Now if Nifty has to move up from here, which I think it will in weeks to come, I want to be in sectors and stocks that can offer a better good Risk:Reward. You always have to think about what can move next in the market. SBI, JSW, ICICI Bank, etc., are undervalued and underperforming. The sectors I mentioned above are outperforming but overvalued at this stage. Look at SBI and Wipro both have gone up 20% in the last 1 month without making any noise. I like it when the stock I hold keeps moving up without making noise on social media and news channels. CHECK COMMENT SECTION FOR SBI.

A few months ago I wrote about how i caught 100% + returns in the Counter - Inox wind. It has set up again. Here is the link to the Inox wind post. https://share.gvine.app/sugCF7MjAeSSFkvh6 Accumulation has been happening in Inox Wind for the last 6 months, and now it has started to move up with a wide-range upthrust bullish candle and a rise in volume. I wrote in my post that it would absorb all the selling and then move up again. This is a new entry opportunity, and I have doubled my quantity from the last time. This is how we can catch multi baggers by increasing the quantity every time it sets up. I have converted my trading position into an investment now, and I will start reading about the company, and start getting involved beyond charts. This is one example of technicals and fundamentals that can be combined. Even though this is an investment for me, I have a stop loss level ,nothing in the market I do without a stop loss. Here is a link to my last Post. https://share.gvine.app/nFW8z2BvpgCpejMWA I had updated here that I am 65-70% cash and will be deploying money only into sector ETFs like Auto, PSE, CPSE, Midcap 150 and would wait for stability to return for equities. Now Nifty has given an opportunity to go long on Friday. Whatever happened in the last 15 days was a pullback as of today. I have started to build positions in equities now. A lot of things are happening currently in the global scenario, from wars, rate cuts, to US elections. We could be prone to a lot of pullbacks and shakeouts. One should not expect short-term profit kinds of trades to work out. It is entirely possible that we could break the recent low of 23,900 on Nifty, and another down leg can follow. What would I do? I will simply follow my risk management rules and will get out if 23,900 breaks on Nifty and will wait for another opportunity to arise. Sectors where i am keen to build positions are - Nifty Consumption , Nifty service sector ,Nifty Large mid 250. Generally, I scale positions in two ways: one time scale-in or 50-50% after each confirmation. The market currently is not conducive for a one-time scale-in. I will explain this with a recent example. I got into ICICIGI on Friday around 2010. I entered this with the pullback framework that I follow. Initially I got in with 50% only, and after a mini pullback on the hourly TF, I entered again today around 2015, and now I am fully scaled in. I will cut 50% if it breaches 1990 with a wide-range bearish candle with volume expansion and will cut another 50% after the breach of 1930. As the price keeps going up, my stop losses will keep moving up. If the stock moves 7% or more, I’ll make my risk zero, meaning if it reverses from +7%, I will simply cut it out at cost. Why this aggressive approach? I screen 450-500 stocks and then make a watchlist of 30-40 names, and from there, I enter or scale into 10-12 names. I enter one of the strongest stocks in the market, and such stocks generally don't exhibit massive weakness. It is entirely possible that I would cut ICICIGI around 1950-60 and then stock might set up again in a few days, which has happened many times in the past. I would get back in again after confirmation. I am very nimble in building back positions if i am stopped out. I act quickly to get back in, but I am strict about not risking my capital. When I am wrong, I want to be wrong with the smallest of margins, and when I am right, I will just sit and hold, e.g., Inox Wind. Sister stock movement .i.e stocks from sector moving together, is happening in Insurance space. SBI LIFE , ICICIPRULI, ICICIGI are exhibiting strength. I will get into 2 stocks from these 3. Such a sister stock movement increases the probability of trade working in your favour a great deal. A few more names that are in my watchlist and i may enter them. - NAVKARCORP - SBI LIFE , ICICIPRULI (Today) - NAUKRI - RAMRATAN - GODFREYPHILIP (Gave opp yesterday) - ETHOS - SHAILY (Gave opp. on friday, undergoing mini pullback) etc.
