THROUGH CASH.
WE CAN GO FOR SHORTTRADES AS WELLTHROUGH
FUTURES BUT FUTURES CARRY A LOT OF OVERNIGHT RISK.
AND HENCE FORTH IFYOU ARE A BEGINNER,YOU ARE
SUGGESTEDTOTRADE IN CASH MARKET ONLY
IN CASE OF FUTURES IFTHERE IS A GAP UP/GAP DOWN

26. There are three types of entries
- breakout entry ( Always prefer to enter half at breakout and
rest half at continuation ) – This is applicable for DayTrading as
well
- Retest and continuation
- Aggressive entry
27. The entry is based on daily time frame candle
Ideal time to enter in swing trade with a conservative
approach is to enter next day above the high of the breakout
candle
Entry shall be made only if there is a proper candle closing
above all the nearest resistance
A proper candle closing above resistance suggest a clear
strength of the buyers
This approach is very suitable fore a working professional as
you can do the analysis after the market hours
28. We’re Going to enter
next day on a 5 minutes
candle closing above the
high of breakout candle
BREAKOUTCANDLE OBSERVEDAT 3:00 PM
29. STEP 1: IDENTYFYA STOCKTHAT IS FORMINGA GOOD
PRICE ACTION STRUCTURE
STEP 2: SET AN ALERT ATTHE BREAK OUT LEVEL
Wait for the breakout candle
STEP 3; ENTER NEXT DAY ABOVETHE breakout CANDLE if
the breakout candle is sustainable
Note – “ Add volume confirmation to take quality trades “
1) High bar volumes usually don’t give a retest
30.
31.
32. Retest refers to prices giving a breakout and then there is a small profit booking
After the profit booking , the stock again breaks its recent retracement and continues
its up move
This is a high probable entry as it confirms the breakout by trapping the weak hands
The advantage of the system is that it can help you in avoiding a lot of fake breakouts
The disadvantage of the system is that at times strong breakout may not give any
retracement
The disadvantage is that at times , the risk to reward may not be that favorable
33. AFTERTHE BREAKOUTTHEREWAS A SMALL

38. STEP 1: IDENTYFYA STOCKTHAT HAS GIVENA BREAKOUT
ON DAILYTIMEFRAME CLOSING BASIS
STEP 2: WAIT FOR A RETEST ( 1ST ENTRY ) ANDTHENA
SMALL RETRACEMENT AND CONTINUATION ( however ,
just A retest can be a Low risk / High rewarding trade )
STEP 3; ENTER IFTHE CONTINUATION SUSTAINS ON A
DAILYTIMEFRAME
39. THIS IS FOR SOMEONEWHO IS ACTIVELY ENGAGING IN
THE MARKETS.WE ENTER ONTHE SAME DAY.
STEP1: SET AN ALERT FORWHEN STOCK ISTRADING NEAR
BREAKOUT LEVEL.(Trading view alerts are good , but they’re
paid , one can use webull )
STEP 2: ENTER IF 1 HOUR / 15 min CANDLE CLOSESABOVE
BREAKOUT AREA.
41. ONTHE SAME DAY OF BREAKOUT IF 15 / 60 MINUTES
CANDLE CLOSES ABOVE OUR BREAKOUT ZONEWEWILL
ENTER.
KINDLY KEEP ALERTS ONTHE LEVEL OF BREAKOUTS ( Let’s
do it now )

43.
44. Pick one entry style , and take next 5 trades with the same
system
Pick the scanner as per your trading style
Journal the trades
Understand the pro’s and cons of the system
Pick one style
45. IN SWINGTRADINGWE SIZE OUR POSITION BASED ON
CAPITAL.
ONE CAN DEPLOY 5 % OF CAPITAL ON ONE STOCK
FOR EXAMPLE
YOU HAVE 1 LAC
ONE CAN INVEST 5000 IN ONE STOCK I.E. 5-10%
WE CAN STARTWITH 5% AND IFTHE MOVE GOES IN OUR
FAVORWE CAN ADD MORE UPT0 10 PERCENT
46. THERE ARE MANYWAYSTO PUT A STOP LOSS HOWEVERWE
SUGGESTTHATYOU PUT A STOP LOSS BELOWTHE NEAREST
RETRACEMENT
THESE RETRACEMENTSARE A SAFE PLACETO PUT A STOP
LOSS
PLEASE NOTETHAT INTHE CASH MARKET ,WE ALWAYSWAIT
FOR A END OFTHE DAY STOP LOSS AS A LOT OFTIMES DURING
A CHOPPY MARKET ,THE STOCK MAY RETRACE JUSTTOTAKE
YOUR STOP LOSS , SOWE PREFERTO CLOSETHE POSITION
ONLY IF A CANDLE CLOSES BELOWTHE STOP LOSS LEVEL
HENCE FORTH ,WE ALWAYS HAVE A EOD STOP LOSS
47.
48.
49. Below the entry candle
Below the retracement ( U – turn )
NOTE - : “ as we’re trading in the cash market , our stop loss will
always be on closing basis “
50. For day trading we use 5 minutes timeframe
Let’s say , you identified that there’s a breakout from a strong
resistance on a daily timeframe , however you want to enter it
for day trading to catch the momentum
Then you can apply the same concept of retracement on a 5
minutes timeframe as the Stop loss
51.
52. Booking profit’s is a very subjective matter , as some trader’s
prefer a high win rate , however , a certain trader’s prefer to
book big gains
Nearest supply or demand zone shall be marked in order to
identify nearest target
It is highly suggested to aim for 1:2 and then trail your stop
loss effectively to run your profits
we will have dedicated session on risk management trailing
stop loss and running profits
57. We use a scanner which gives stocks that are ready for high probable breakout
The classical way is to manually identify stocks that are forming a good structure ,
and put alerts on them.
1. EOD scanner – “in this case we look stock have given breakout at end of the day”
2. LIVETelegram alerts – “ the alert will notify the stocks that give breakout during
live market and suitable for aggressive trader ”
NOTE –” just because stock comes in the scanner , don't jump in to the trade , always
make sure that its breaking good structure ”
58. Alert’s are the best way to ensure that we don’t engage with
the charts unnecessarily
It also ensures that we don’t take random trades
You just have to place the alerts , and then wait for the
notification to enter into a trade
This will surely reduce your screen time
You can either use tradingview alert’s or you can simply use
zerodha’s sentinel / webull which gives alerts through mail
59. https://chartink.com/screener/20-day-breakout-stocks
(The above scanner is the prime scanner to look for breakout stocks
) – to be used at EOD – ( apply this first on FNO stocks )
https://www.tickertape.in/ (Ticker tape.in ) – Beginner Friendly
Live market alerts – “ similar to the above logic , there are alerts
that come in our telegram channel , but in the live market “ , the
above alerts to be used by aggressive trader’s for short term
trading “
60. If you’re beginner , take swing on NIFTY 50 stocks (
understand that you have a limited capital , also nifty 50 stock
options are liquid , so you can take forward the same
knowledge in options too )
Secondly , when it comes to other cash stocks , focus on
positional trading on weeklyTF , monthlyTF as there are so
many cash stocks
61.
62. As we spoke , the concept of Price behaviour is actually universal
No matter what is the timeframe , concepts work across all time
Frame’s
However concept’s work better on higherTime frames as it
reduces the Noise
The concept’s of price behaviour such as Consolidation , Breakout
, retracement , build up , works across all time Frames
For day trading , we just shift our EntryTrigger , Stop loss
placement and Exit trigger on a shorterTF
63.

67.
68.
69. Well it’s simple
Firstly you need to understand stop loss is basically a point
where your view has gone wrong as per your trading style
The purpose of stop loss is to basically to accept that trade
went wrong , and it’s time to exit your trade
70.
71.
72. Check for stocks opening above / below PDH / PDL range
Checkout the scanner at 9:45
Then look for stocks with good structures
73. What to trade ?
How to trade ?
How much to trade ? – Position sizing
Where to Exit a trade ? ( Stop loss and target)
How to run your profit’s ? ( take insights from SwingTrading )
74. As a breakout trader , all you need is momentum.
Hence we will focus on High beta stocks – Stocks that move
better compared to the index
Remember , stock selection is same as swing trading only , so
don’t get confused ( If you marked a stock for swing trading ,
the same stock can be traded for day trading as well )
Now as a day trader , you must start by focusing on a small
watchlist
A watch of 8 to 10 stocks is good enough
75. Breakout trading
- Stocks that have given a breakout
- Stocks that are in a range , and now about to give a breakout
Note – “ In the above method , the trade direction is clear “
REVERSAL’S
- Marking fresh level’s of support and resistance..
76. Most high beta stocks comes from the financial sector
Further financial sector contributes 35 percent to Nifty as well
Going ahead if you want to master bank nifty trading , it
makes sense to do stock trading in stocks like HDFC BANK ,
ICICI BANK , AXIS , KOTAK , SBIN.
Other high momentum stocks come from Nifty metal , nifty
auto and nifty energy sector..
77. Simply mark the area which has been tested multiple times
and wait for a breakout breakdown , with nearest swing as the
Stop loss ( Start with daily timeframe , then go to 15 mins for
marking level )
Or mark the fresh level’s of support / resistance for reversal
trades
Clearly write your trigger Area in a book ( Levels )
78. Buy above 600 , with SL as 595
Sell below 500 , with SL as 505
Note – “This strategy is suitable for all the over thinker’s “
79.
80.
81.
82.
83.
84. Day trading based on price action is similar to swing trading
concept , nothing new
We look for a crucial level that has been tested multiple times
A build - up before the breakout is high probable
The key to Day trading is to limit your watchlist to a few
stocks for the week ( 8 to 10 stocks are suggested )
85. When it comes to Exiting a trade , we have to look at two
trigger’s
Stop loss – “ Nearest retracement ( For day trading , For day
trading , SL should not be more than 1 to 1.5 percent max )
– Similar to Swing trading
Target – “ Risk to reward / nearest Resistance “
Note – “ Exiting a trade is the most tricky part as it evolves from
trader’s to trader’s “
86. Download High BetaWatchlist
PICK 5 to 10 stocks Max
Mark levels for entry on these 10 stocks using daily and 15
minutesTF ( Minimum 3 touches )
For entry / SL we use 5 minutesTF
87. The most critical
risk to reward ( Fixed Risk to reward of say 1:1 or 1:2)
Fixed target as pervNearest support and resistance or pivot
points ( beginner friendly )
Partial profit booking ( Book half at 1:1 and run the remaining
qty )
Running profit’s
88. Running the profit’s simple means that you stay in the trade
until unless the price has strong momentum
The psychology in running profit’s is to capture a big profit
when market moves in your favor
The advantage to running profit is that your winning trades
are going to big enough to take your losing trades easily
The con of running profit is that , your hit rate is going to be
less , further not knowing where to exit before entering a
trade is always emotionally difficult
89. Running the profit’s simple means that you stay in the trade
until unless the price has strong momentum
The psychology in running profit’s is to capture a big profit

The advantage to running profit is that your winning trades
are going to big enough to take your losing trades easily
The con of running profit is that , your hit rate is going to be
less , further not knowing where to exit before entering a
trade is always emotionally difficult
90.
91.
92. Use of 15 day exponential moving average
1. You’re going to stay in the trade , until unless the price stay’s above /
below the moving average
2. As and when price moves below / above the moving average , you’ll exit
your trade (use of EMA shall be done only after the stock has atleast
give a 1:1 ) “
3. The advantage is that , one fine day you’ll get a windfall gain and you’ll
catch the biggest whale in the town.
Disadvantage
1. You have to actively watch the market.
2. The M2M swings can really disturb your peace of mind.
3. Not knowing pre defined target is little difficult to handle psychologically
93. Exit 70 percent at 1:1 , and run the remaining ones
Exit the remaining as per your preferable exit strategy ( 15
EMA )
Focus on Equity trading , don’t do FNO as a beginner.
