Key Takeaways

1. Breakouts + Volume = High Probability

Almost every winning trade had clear breakout setups on technical charts.

2. Avoid Flat Closures

If a stock closes flat despite volume, it’s often a red flag for next-day momentum.

3. Sector Plays Help

Zed Motors benefited from overall EV theme buzz — sector sentiment amplifies moves.

4. One Bad Pick Won’t Hurt

Losses were manageable because of risk distribution. No trade was over-leveraged.

5. Exit at Open Works Best

Most gains happened right at open — holding longer gave no significant edge.
