Vamsi asked question about MIC Electronics Limited and though I have suggested him thought emails what all levels to look for I think this stock offers lot knowledge about how to calculate supports and resistance for the stock. I don’t track the stock myself and so I will not talk about fundamentals of the company but will suggest everything based on charts and technical.
Let us look at the stock charts for past 1 year.
As you can see some numbers and horizontal lines in the above image. Let me explain each number.
- Stock was purchased at around 33 in the month of January. It was clearly not the right time to buy this stock because of clear break down in the stock charts forming lower bottoms from 40 to 36 to 32 and finally to 28.
- If purchased at around 33 in January, we should have a strict stop loss at the last support levels of 28. I would have taken this position if and only if I am fine risking my 5 Rs per share because this is very high risk trade because you are trying to get into a stock which is falling for last few days. Few days after the purchase, stop loss is hit but the fall is very sharp. Either use the stop loss in the fall or wait for a bounce after the fall to exit the position.
- Point 3 clearly shows that we have a strong bounce after the fall and I prefer to use the bounce to execute my stop losses. A point to note here is the bounce can never take the stock pass 28 which was a support and is now acting as a strong resistance. See Why Support Becomes Resistance When Broken
- 28 is a strong resistance and this is confirmed once again with the formation of double top. Stock opens above 28 on a day but could not close above 28 clearly suggesting it as strong resistance.
- Many a times we want to see if the resistance is taken out or not but this has to be done again with a new stop loss. 22.5 should be the second stop loss from that point because you could see the stock bouncing from that level.
- As we did miss everything now we have no option but to have the stop loss of 16.5 and hold on to the stock.
I hope this helps other fellow traders understand the market technically.
Final Thoughts
Technically this stock is showing complete breakdown for the last 7+ months and so I would be very sceptical about the company and will only be only looking to come out of my position if either it cracks 16.5 or reaches near 27 odd levels.

I don’t see any hope in this stock Kumar
Dear Shabbir,
I am presently holding 1150 shares of TataMotors bought at 4 different levels, viz., 236. 241, 245, and 251 and the stock is trading around 290 in the bourses. Can I wait for some more time to get more profit or is it time to sell off?
Please advise me accordingly. Thanks.
Hi Rajan, I don’t prefer sharing stock and exact levels but prefer my reader find those levels themselves by reading my ebook but still If I would be in your position I would hold on Tata Motors with a strict stop loss of 260.
Thanks for the information provided. Your books seems to be interesting and would like to go for it. But i have few questions and it would be great if you provide me your valuable feedbac.
1. you book mentions about charts and patterns. But my basic question is where will i find this charts and pattern. Is there any free site which provides these details?
2. there are thousands of companies listed on NSE and BSE. Do we need to make daily analysis of all the companies chart. or is there any site which provides stock screeners ie which company is forming a chart?
3. is your book available in crossword or any book market or i need to book it online only.
Please let me know your feedback
1. Yes. You can get free charts at Google Finance, Yahoo Finance or at http://chartink.com
2. Yes and NO. You can have a stock screener but then I prefer trading in my list of stocks only.
3. My book is only available in ebook format and not in paper format as of now.
hello can i ask qustions?
Bharat, you can ask your questions in comments.
Hi Shabbir,
I was curious to know how does a day look like for a day trader.I have finished reading your ebook and I think I am all set to start.
1. How do you pick stocks to start your day with.There are so many and day trading is all about picking the right stock at the right time.Things can change in minutes.
2. What tools and resources should a day trader keep in handy through out the trading session.
3. Do you have a specific list of stocks that you track religiously.
As always,thanks again for your ebook and advises.
Great Analysis Shabbir. I have already purchased ur book and its awesome.
Thanks for your wonderful feedback Soumya
Nice guide for me. I am not familiar with this stock information. I am new to this field. How you analysed it? I feel that, this is a difficult job.
Brilliant analysis!
How did you learn to do such brilliant analysis ? I’m not a finance guy hence I find this technical analysis stuff damn complicated…is there an easy way out ?
Btw I’m an electronics and telecommunications engineer, got into trading coz love the excitement that it offers…besides money
Thanks for the wonderful feedback and it is the desire to learn things help me understand it. I am a B.Tech in IT.
I see you have written a book on Technical Analysis
Is this book enough for me to master technical analysis in a nut-shell ? Coz I am not looking for any complicated stuff, just something that works for me to read the daily graphs on Yahoo Finance and Google Finance….and take a confirmed call that works ?
I’m not much into Finance, except I love the excitement and profits of trading
So will buying this book of yours give me a “short-cut” in a positive way to achieve nirvana in Technical analysis ? 
Thanks
Oh…me a B.E.(Elec & Telecomm), anyway two techies talking about bollinger bands and all
Hmmm…bollinger name sounds good, though dunno what it means!
I hope we keep it to Technical Analysis and not move to only Tech.
This book is good for people who have little time to dedicate to the market and still want to be getting informed decisions.
It is not shortcut way but a smarter way to know what works in the market.
And how easy is that ?
Does your book have all it takes to make me a Technical Analyst for my personal decisions ?
