We debuted a new scan recently- The Outperformers.
The Outperformers is our newest scan that pinpoints the very best stocks in the market. It’s the fastest, easiest way to find quality names that are primed for major moves.
Last week, something magical happened.
Something that hasn’t happened in a long time!
ITC was up by 6.83%.
If you’ve invested in this stock, then you know that such a move in ITC is not that common. And more often than not, the follow-through move is generally absent.
But what do we have this week? [Read more…]
This is the recording from the live September 2021 Conference Call for Members of the Allstarcharts India! Before getting into individual stock ideas in India, we’re going to first start with the global macro perspective. Once we identify the direction of the underlying trends from a structural and broader view, then we’ll dive into the NIFTY Indexes on both longer-term and short-term timeframes. We want to look at Large-caps, Small-caps, and everything in between before getting into the Sector and Industries themselves like Energy, Banks, and Pharma.
This is when we finally break things down to the individual stock scenario with identified risk vs reward opportunities. That is what this is all about – aligning ourselves in the direction of the underlying trend while at the same time identifying where the risk is to make sure the potential reward is skewed exponentially in our favor. You will find that throughout this process we discuss Momentum, Fibonacci and Relative Strength. I encourage you to check out the Education Section so you know exactly where I’m coming from when you hear me mention these tools.

Last night we held our September Monthly Conference Call, which Premium Members can access and rewatch here.
In this post, we’ll do our best to summarize it by highlighting five of the most important charts and/or themes we covered, along with commentary on each.
Let’s get right into it!

This is one of our favorite bottom-up scans: Follow The Flow. In this note, we simply create a universe of stocks that experienced the most unusual options activity — either bullish or bearish… but NOT both.
We utilize options experts, both internally and through our partnership with The TradeXchange. Then, we dig through the level 2 details and do all the work upfront for our clients. Our goal is to isolate only those options market splashes that represent levered and high-conviction, directional bets.
We also weed out hedging activity and ensure there are no offsetting trades that either neutralize or cap the risk on these unusual options trades. What remains is a list of stocks that large financial institutions are putting big money behind… and they’re doing so for one reason only: because they think the stock is about to move in their direction and make them a pretty penny.
Then we flip through our list of stocks flashing unusual activity and pick the best setups using many of the same technical filters we do for our other scans. And just like that, we’ll follow the money flow and fatten our own pockets along with some of the world’s most powerful financial institutions.

Welcome back to our latest “Under The Hood” column, where we’ll cover all the action for the week ended September 17, 2021. This report is published bi-weekly and rotated with our “Minor Leaguers” column.
What we do here is analyze the most popular stocks during the week and find opportunities to either join in and ride these momentum names higher or fade the crowd and bet against them.
We use a variety of sources to generate the list of most popular names. There are so many new data sources available that all we need to do is organize and curate them in a way that shows us exactly what we want: a list of stocks that are seeing an unusual increase in investor interest.
Watch this video for a “behind the scenes” look at our process.
Whether we’re measuring increasing interest based on large institutional purchases, unusual options activity, or simply our proprietary lists of trending tickers, there’s a lot of overlap.
This week we’re looking at a long setup in the Energy sector. Nifty Energy broke out above its overhead resistance. While this stock has been an absolute outperformer, the sector-specific breakout can only add more strength to the existing move.
Let’s take a look at this stock.
Nifty 50 has been making new highs, moving past the early 2021 high in May and continuing to rise further. That’s well and good. But if these new highs aren’t coming through in Banks and Financials, then that’s an issue.
Financial stocks make up 37.58% of Nifty 50. So it’s safe to say that Nifty50 can’t get very far for too long without the cooperation of Bank Nifty and Financial Services. [Read more…]
