A thread on Price action and how to identify stocks showing strong price action.
For me price action is when you answer the What,When,Why,How and Where of price movement of any underlying.
Its a language you use to communicate with the underlying.
Key Parameters thread
1/n
Short term price action is judged when the underlying is crossing precious day high or low. Why last day action is important?Because there are enough short term traders who act at these levels,especially if that day had lots of activities showcased by volume and delivery.
2/n
Monthly high, low, close are again important as the stocks are typically evaluated on monthly basis for mid term performance. Operator building large positions will react when market breaches these critical levels.

Just like monthly, 52 week i.e yearly data is also critical as a symbolic performance of an underlying for long term actions.

VWAP literally helps you to judge the behavior of operator. Typically that the price at which operator has build positions. If you combine VWAP with closing, you will be able to judge the probable demand and supply zone of any underlying.

Then relative performance of a stock visavis market benchmark. An outperforming stock will show momentum for immediate swing movements and underperforming stock should never be bought. Best tool to implement exit rules.

2 days in Mumbai and I met many professional traders : Algo and Non Algo as well as few software guys.
My key Learnings 🧵
The kind of money people have made in the last 3 years is insane.However most of them are in the market for a long time and waited for this opportunity to go all-in.
If you survive through tough times, you make big eventually.The market will always give you an opportunity.

Algo is big already and the entire ecosystem has matured. If you are planning a serious career as a trader, you better start learning about this. One can scale up very fast with a decent algo system and there are many players now facilitating the workings.

I keep getting feedback from my team and other club members to open up StockEdge Club for an influx of users on our platform and to show the world the good work that we're doing.
However, I don't think I can ever open up the Club completely. Here's why🧵-

In an era where free stock recommendations are as readily available as fresh air, it is extremely easy for retail investors to fall in the trap of fraudsters and lose out on all their hard earned money.
2/n
The problem with the free platforms is that it is difficult to bar free riders and scamsters to enter and malign it with their fraud recommendations. The clutter is an add-on problem.
