scenario appears in the market.
Trading Mindset
• Capital protection is more important than profit.
• Professional traders think in probabilities.
• Small losses are normal in trading.
Practical Example
Scenario A trader starts with ■10,000 capital
Action Risk only 2–5% per trade
Example If entry is ■100, stop loss should risk about ■200–■300 total capital
Pro Tip: Combine price action, support/resistance, and volume confirmation before entering any trade.
Market Structure
• Higher High + Higher Low indicates uptrend.
• Lower High + Lower Low indicates downtrend.
• Sideways movement indicates consolidation.
Practical Example
Example Stock Coal India
Observation Price forming higher highs
Trading Idea Buy near pullback support
Pro Tip: Combine price action, support/resistance, and volume confirmation before entering any trade.
Support and Resistance
• Support is where buyers repeatedly enter.
• Resistance is where sellers dominate.
• Multiple touches strengthen the level.
Practical Example
Support Level ■410
Resistance ■440
Trade Buy near support, sell near resistance
Pro Tip: Combine price action, support/resistance, and volume confirmation before entering any trade.
Bullish Engulfing Pattern
• A large bullish candle covering the previous bearish candle.
• Usually indicates potential upward reversal.
Practical Example
Example Tata Steel near support
Entry Above engulfing candle high
Stop Loss Below candle low
