Try to enter when the stock enters in Stage 2 rather than at any random point. That would help you deploy your money at the right time ( opportunity-cost )
And get out when the stock enters in Stage 4. That would help you save yours profit that you might have build over long period of time.
Here are 3 examples from last 2 years of my entry /exit in HDFC Life , Solara, IDFC First
No hoping against hope …ride in when the momentum is on your side and exit when it runs out of the favor. ( Entries /Exits should be plaaned on gradual basis- as sometimes you get few whipsaws at 30 WMA ( or 150 DMA)
Keep in mind that no-one can catch excat tops and bottoms, but following this method , you can save lot of your time as well as drawdowns.And it keeps your emotions/baises on the bay.
But if you are a very -very long term investor, you can use 40 Week Moving Average . That might save you lot of entry/exit points .
Also there are some additional method to follow where to exit at 40 WMA ( not all breaches are exit-signals )
Examples of Reliance and Aarti Industry — by using 40 WMA – you can ride maximum of the upside-momentum.
Very -very long term investors can use 40 Months moving average to ride on consistent compounders for decades.
The example given above was of IndusInd Bank-how it broke 40 Months Moving Average and went into a free-fall.
Here are 2 more examples in this context from US Market:
Amazon
Recently has broken 40 months moving average after 13 years ( 2009-2022) - but one would have made multibagger returns just by simply tracking the stock on this moving average.
NGL Finechem - far away from 200 DMA ,it is in Stage 4.…need to wait .
Let it settle down first, make a base i.e. S1 ( moving with in a range after forming the bottom)…then let it cross 30 WMA with volumes …in short long wait.
Posted when price was 214, came down to 201 …today touched 250 ( in a bad market). 6-7 set-ups out of 10 don’t disappoint if you understand the technicals well -enough and keep a stop-loss while investing.
Be careful guys - we are in a bear market now - in Wave 2 , in Stage 4 .
We might get a counter-bouce today (short-covering ) and few bounce-backs here and there in coming days but overall the trend remains towards downside.
Small rallies might come and bear-market rallies are fast and furious - deceiving everyone that we’re back in a bull market. But these are opportunities to sell .
In short - it is a ‘Sell-on Rise’ market.
What about strong fundamental compainies
Market is driven by liquidity , as of now liquidity is being sucked by the central banks .
When a high tide (liquidity ) comes , even stones start floating and when a low tide comes even fish start suffocating. And currently ,we’re in low-tide , low liquidity situation.
Stock prices of almost all good companies have already run ahead of their rational valutaions-level, time to catch-up.
Stock prices of good companies might go through 2 types of correction - price correction as well as time-correction.
Indian Hotel, Lemon Tree - both are in long term uptrned - currently facing channel resitance. May correct a bit more ( with overall sentiments also being subdued/negative)
In Defence - BEL seems to be completing its last leg. Till the time it is above 225 , can go upto 270-280 . Below 225 , should give a deep correction (currently monthly RSI also overheated)
BDL - can go near 1000 with ups and downs ( market sentiments ), RSI need to cool down a bit on both weekly/monthly time -frame before the start of next leg.
In papers : JK papers looks good …long way to go …currently facing channel resistance…can correct a bit alongwith overall markets but looks like that one can hold it if bought from lower levels .Even TNPL seems to be in good position, but this also facig upper channel resistance, may correct a bit in coming days as weekly RSI is overheated.Satia -Very confusing chart as per EW , so unable to comment.
Disclaimer: Holding JK Papers,TNPL, Indian Hotels from lower levels, views can be baised.
