Elgi Equipments ELGIEQUIP - Positional Trading
I have based my analysis on Stan Weinstein's framework on Weekly chart where price structure, 30 weekly MA, volume and relative strength (not RSI) play a role in analysing the trend.
Personally, I like stocks near ATH because it tells me that prior resistance has been broken. It is important for me to select stocks that have strong relative strength against a particular index such as Nifty Infra in this case (Elgi makes compressors and they are capital goods for industry) or Nifty 500 the broader market.
The area where price is moving up (marked with a green upward arrow) is defined as Stage 2 structure according to Stan Weinstein. After this, we see a Stage 3 structure marked with a black box. During Stage 3 structure, price is rangebound and this period can be for many weeks or months. Remember, this is where we lose TIME. And for traders (and also Investors), TIME is important. I have marked a breakout candle (in orange) and that is where I like to enter provided I see confirmation on volumes (marked with orange in the volume histogram).
Stan Weinstein says Positional Traders should ride the trend and exit stocks only when they start trading below the 30 weekly MA. He further says not to buy in LH LL structure because there is no way one can tell how far or how long can the fall be. See for yourself how often stock stays lower.
The breakout candle of 10 August 2020 is of importance. Note the volume expansion. Also note that retracement is till the mid point of the 10 August 2020 candle and stock does not fall anymore. The candles of 9 November 2020 and 7 December 2020 are also very important. The latter breaks prior pre-pandemic resistance. Around this time the Relative Strength of the stock starts outperforming against the broader market i.e. Nifty 500.
Analysis is easy on hindsight. What would I do if I were to take a buy call now?
I will go long only when I see a breakout candle (marked in orange) confirmed by Volumes. Because Nifty is near ATH and in Stage 3 structure, there are two things that might happen. It may again start a new Stage 2 structure or form a Stage 4 structure which is start falling from the box. Hence in a market like this, I would shift to the Daily chart, add a 50 Daily MA and if the stock breaches 50DMA and goes lower, I will exit 50% of my holding. And if it breaches the nearest swing low, I will exit completely- the candle of 27 May 2021 on Daily chart. This is a variation from Stan Weinstein's framework.
