  1. US markets closed about 1.5% lower.
  2. But Asian markets are mostly flat with negative bias.
  3. That is because there seems to be some improvement in Stimulus talks.
  4. Nasdaq is down for last 5 days and Dow is down 4 out of last 5 days.
  5. So if there is any good news about Stimulus, US markets may move significantly higher.
  6. SGX Nifty is Trading Near Yesterday closing near 11850.
  7. The reason why SGX Nifty is flat despite a big fall in U.S Markets is Because Dow Futures are up by half a percent now.
  8. U.S Markets dont like Uncertainty , any market doesn't like Uncertainty.
  9. This is causing profit booking in Emerging Markets
  10. Due to Stimulus talks being halted theres a lot of Uncertainty going around.
  11. Here Reliance, IT Stocks are not doing well.
  12. Even HDFC Bank did not do well after results.
  13. Key results are already out, except Reliance.
  14. Reliance do not move due to results, it moves due to JIO & Retail news.
  15. SO we need a trigger to cross 12000.
  16. But that trigger may not come from locally.
  17. A strong short covering in Reliance and IT stocks may be a possible scenario.
  18. TCS has fallen about Rs 150, Reliance has fallen about Rs 200 from recent highs.
  19. US Stimulus could be a possible trigger.
  20. FIIs have Rs 1657 crores, more than what they have sold in the previous two days.

  22. SGX Nifty is down by about 30 points due to Global cues.
  23. HDFC ADR is up 2.5% while it was flat here.

  26. So far, all results are good.

  29. Europe continue to trade lower as virus resurgence is a big problem there.
  30. But that is not the case with rest of the world.
  31. Next 3 days we may expect Consolidation between 11700 to 12000.
  32. If any of these levels gets taken out then there will be a big rally towards that side.
  33. Until then one should play for this range.
  34. The Trend is intact and strong.
  35. There May be hiccups in between but the Trend will continue to follow.
  36. Another thing which I've been observing from many days is VIX is slowly inching higher.
  37. VIX isnt falling and inching higher with each passing day.
  38. This shows that Volatility is going to rise in coming weeks and there might be big swings.
  39. Take those to your Advantage.

  46. HUL and Bajaj Finance will be in focus ahead of results.
  47. High dividend yield stocks moved higher yesterday, like ITC, PFC, IOC, BPCL, etc.
  48. Though markets are moving higher, VIX is not coming down.

Understanding Gaps in the market and trading them !!

  Common Gaps Sometimes referred to as a trading gap or an area gap, the common gap is usually uneventful. In fact, they can be caused by a stock going ex-dividend when the trading volume is low. These gaps are common (get it?) and usually get filled fairly quickly. "Getting filled" means that the price action at a later time (few days to a few weeks) usually retraces at the least to the last day before the gap. This is also known as closing the gap. Here is a chart of two common gaps that have not been filled for while but now filled up . Notice that after the gap the prices have come down to at least the beginning of the gap? That is called closing or filling the gap. A common gap usually appears in a trading range or congestion area, and reinforces the apparent lack of interest in the stock at that time. Many times this is further exacerbated by low trading volume. Being aware of these types of gaps is good, but doubtful that they will produce a trading opportunities. Brea...

The Force is Within You, Luke. It’s Not the Trading System.

 There are only a handful of people who give a darn about supplying traders with a way to be more disciplined and focused in their trading.  I’m one of them, so I think I know why there are so few of us.  Heck, I’m in the business of supplying traders with a tool to help improve the mental side of the trading equation… the “human” element.  With (what I think) is such an important service, why am I out here virtually alone?  For a couple of reasons.    First, although most traders will admit that the mental part of trading is key to winning in the long-term, most believe they can “gut it up” and just “shake it off” when negative emotions and behaviors rear their ugly heads.  They don’t need a shrink!  They know what they need to do and by-cracky, they’ll do what needs to be done without any help!  I call this the Macho Syndrome And what’s funny is… I get most resistance to the notion of mental discipline (as formal training) from those t...
