A thread on evolution of my Relative Strength theory.

I was an active trader till 2013 before I decided to become a passive trader. I found swing trading (apart from investing) to be the best strategy for me since I was also involved in other business initiatives.

1/n
I read many market books in 2013-14 and attended many paid training sessions.

And finally adapted Relative Strength model for my journey.

The starting point of RS was simple graph of Price of Nifty by Price of Stock. Objective was to identify strong stock visavis market.

2/n
This simple technique worked fantastically till 2016 before I realised that there is need of improvisation.I developed the model further and filtered stocks based on this:

Any stock outperforming market for 1W as well as 3M is strong.We developed the scan in @mystockedge

3/n
My model was simple. Find stocks using this scan (post 3), check the outperformance graph (post 2) and trade on breakouts. Similarly short stocks showing weakness as per both 3 and 2 model and trade on breakdown. Short on stock is done using futures and options.

4/n
Then, I met my RS brother @premalparekh around 2018 in Ahmedabad.He is also an RS practitioner for many years.He explained me his concept of Adaptive RS and Static RS. I loved it and we instantly created a scan in @mystockedge

He runs an amazing #RSRwarrior community.

5/n
However, I want simpler solution for my life. One of my core philosophy in @mystockedge

We did lot of testing and found that my theory of 3 month outperformance works well for my style of trading. Hence we created RS55. 55 is almost 3 month live market and Fibonacci number.

6/n
Indicators are like priests who will help you to reach the God, The Price.

Finally a sound entry and exit strategy will make us money.

I combined RS55, RSI and moving averages to find momentum and strength and trade the price based on price action.

7/n
My full model and technique is Freely shared in my #Learn2Trade series with 50 videos.

If you have not experience the learnings, you should do to become a multi asset trader.

8/n
My life learnings as a trader and founder of one of the largest prop trading firms in India.

1. No model is permanent
2. Learning is perpetual
3. Finally one should know when to trade and when not to trade

9/n
Finally, If you find my workings effective and would like to become part of my community where I share my research and learnings on real time basis, join stockedgeclub.com

I have personally curated team of 20+ analyst who are guiding 9000+ members on real time basis.

This is output of my 4km walk. I thank you all for making this happen.

What is momentum? A thread

A football player running on the football ground has momentum as he is in motion. And the faster a football player runs, the more difficult it is for him to stop. Because as the velocity of an object increases, its momentum also increases.

1/n
Now let's define this in stock market parlance. Any stock showing strong motion due to agressive position building on either side. Typically bullish momentum is more accurately predicted due to availability of cash for buying.

How to measure it ?

2/n
The best measurement tool is the simple price action. Typically high momentum stocks make weekly higher highs and higher lows for long period of time. Also they trade above their weekly VWAP for many weeks.

3/n

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.

As a prop trader since 2006 with 150 inhouse full time traders our Edge always was transaction cost, technology and access to information using Bloomberg and other terminals. That is now available to everyone.

Still 99 percent people loosing money. Why ?

Thread 1/n
1. Most of them have no idea why they are partcipating in the market? They start with trading and if loss in position, become investor or they start with investing and seeing the small profit they become trader.

First thing First Know yourself. Use this:
2. Secondly people spend too much time looking at the trading terminal. And now with terminal on mobile phones, its even worst. The color changes around bid and ask always excites human mind and invites to trade more. Its like any other vice. Try trading without these.
