• The last SWING or closing swing often tells the truth about how strong a trend truly is. “Smart money “shows their presence in the last SWING or closing swing, continuing to mark positions in their favor. As long as a market is having strong closes (closing at day high), look for an up-trend to continue.

Odd enhancer

INDEX

Identify what the general market or index is doing.

1. Trending
2. At support or resistance zone

First Identify the support and resistance zones in the index (nifty). If markets closed near the support zone, I would know to look for opportunities to buy the next day as the price was likely to rally from that support zone

Sector selection

look at charts sectors to find some that are also trading near the support zone as those sectors would likely rally from that support zone with the index (nifty ) market the following day. Out of the few sectors, I would always find one or two that were set up very well with the broad market (index).

1. If the index is bullish, select a strong sector for BTST

News stock

AVOID frequently NEWS BASED SECTOR (LIKE PHARMA)

Check history

• CHECK the history of the stock and find whether the stock has the capability of moving on consecutive strong days. if yes then select

Ol-OH

• If the stock opens with an open high or open low
• Add confidence if open with open low or open high

Exit

• Most of the time these scripts are opened the next day with a gap up .profit should be booked within 5-10 minutes in the next session.
• If the price moves strongly from the open in the direction of your entry, you can trail your stop loss
• If the market closes with a strong premium (closing at day high) but opens weak (gap down)the next morning, the odds favor that the first move will be to the upside to test the previous day’s high(fill the gap). If the market closes weak, and the futures close with a discount (close at day low), yet the market gaps up the following morning, the first move should be a retest down to attempt to fill the gap.
• If the price is gap down (you took BTST).YOU can exit immediately or wait for opening range and place sop loss or wait for the first five-minute candle and place stop loss. It totally depends open your risk
