0:01Look at this chart.
0:02This is where the most trader will buy
0:04the stock at the breakout June.
0:06But the real move actually starts
0:08somewhere around here. And if you learn
0:10to spot it early, you can enter without
0:12tight stop while everyone else is
0:15chasing another breakout area. Hey
0:17everyone, my name is Gaurav. Today in
0:18this video, I'll share a secret method
0:21to enter into the stock little early
0:23before the obvious breakout happen
0:25where the institutions are accumulating
0:27the stock
0:28and how the professional trader catches
0:3030, 40, 50% trades immediately before
0:33the obvious breakout. This secret signal
0:35which I'll be discussing today is called
0:37a pocket pivot. This is the most
0:38powerful tool which you can use to
0:40detect the institutional accumulation
0:42within the base before the obvious
0:44breakout.
0:45Now, we'll stick today on the daily
0:47chart. We'll basically discuss this
0:48particular signal on swing trading. And
0:50today in this video, you will learn
0:52three important thing. First, what is
0:54pocket pivot? Second, how to create
0:57exact execution framework, like you're
0:59scanning, entry, exit, stop loss, and
1:01everything using a pocket pivot. And
1:03third, which is most important one, that
1:05what are the common mistakes we as a
1:07trader make while trading using a pocket
1:10pivot. Okay, with this, let's go and
1:12deep dive into it.
1:14So, what is pocket pivot? So, pocket
1:16pivot is a concept which was introduced
1:18by Gil Morales and Chris Kacher, Dr.
1:20Chris Kacher, uh in their book named
1:23Trade Like O'Neil Disciples. It's an
1:24excellent book. If you have not read it,
1:26please read it.
1:27In that book, they have talked about a
1:29pocket pivot in detail. If I have to
1:31simplify and give a simple definition to
1:33the pocket pivot, it basically means
1:35that
1:36today's volume should be greater than
1:38highest down volume of the last 10 days
1:41and price must show a strength. It means
1:44price should be in the prior uptrend.
1:46And that's it. It is a simple volume
1:48signature which institution shows on the
1:50chart when they try to buy the stock
1:52just before or during the breakout.
1:54Okay, so if you look at my
1:56screen and the image which I'm showing,
1:58so the volume which you see here on the
2:0012th of December 2025, right? That
2:02particular volume is greater than past
2:05tenders of down volume. So any red
2:07candle volume which you see here, okay,
2:09this particular volume is greater than
2:11that and that's become pocket pivot,
2:12right? Before I go into indicator side
2:14of it,
2:15want you to understand why this pocket
2:17pivot is important or why does it work?
2:19So institutions like FIIs and DIIs, they
2:22do not build a position in one day,
2:24right?
2:25And they are going to invest a big chunk
2:26of money and liquidity is a big concern
2:28in Indian market. Hence they need some
2:31time, like you know, for few days, few
2:32weeks to build up their position.
2:35And to build their position, they cannot
2:37buy a near 52-week high or near
2:39extremely high where the demand of the
2:41stock is quite high. They want to buy
2:43stocks where the liquidity is high,
2:45where the supply is high. Basically, you
2:47know, shares shares are easily available
2:49for them to build a position without
2:51affecting the stock price. Okay? Now
2:53these are the areas which are basically
2:56when the stock is correcting forming a
2:57base or when the stock is having a
3:00pullback uh to its key MA where the
3:02supply is increasing because, you know,
3:03retail investors or retail traders are
3:05pretty much selling their stocks and
3:07then institutions are accumulating
3:09silently.
3:10Now when the institutions are
3:11accumulating silently, this is where the
3:14footprint being left on this volume bar
3:16which is a pocket pivot and that is what
3:18we are trying to identify. Now I
3:20understand that this particular volume
3:21indicator is quite difficult to
3:23understand the pocket pivot or requires
3:25a kind of extra effort to identify which
3:28is a pocket pivot and which are not. So
3:30don't worry about it. I will share
3:32indicator's name which I generally use
3:35to identify the pocket pivot zone and
3:37that will make your life easier. All
3:39right. So now let's quickly talk about
3:40the indicators.
3:41Okay. So this is the generic indicator,
3:44the volume indicator which we have
3:45added, right? Which we which you
3:46generally see. The first indicator which
3:48you can use is trader line, this one,
3:51the second one, right? This you can
3:53apply. Okay, I'll add all of all three
3:55first of all and then we'll discuss
3:57about it. The second one which you can
3:59add is symbol volume with pocket pivot
4:02by finally Nithin. And the third one
4:04which I use is TA plot. So this one, TA
4:07plot volume pocket pivot, okay? In all
4:09the three indicators which you see here,
4:11um so the first one is are the default
4:13one, okay? So the one which we generally
4:15have along the time. But the other three
4:18are the one which you can use for your
4:20pocket pivot identification. Now it
4:22doesn't matter which one you use because
4:23all the three has pretty much same
4:25features. I used to use Trader Lion, but
4:27now I have currently switched to the TA
4:29plot because I have I found a couple of
4:32extra feature in that like 5-days pocket
4:34pivot and all. So you use any one of
4:36them, it doesn't matter. All three are
4:37the pretty much same, okay? Now the key
4:39idea here for us is to how to use this,
4:41right? What are the key parameters and
4:43settings which we have? So I'll remove
4:45other three and I will just leave a TA
4:48plot which I generally use, okay? This
4:50is the setting. Um you can just, you
4:52know, use the same setting if you want.
4:54There's nothing much I've not changed
4:55much other than the colors and few of
4:57the values, but rest of the bits are
4:59pretty much same. So
5:01let me change this one to green here,
5:03white. All right, so this is what the
5:04high So what are the volume shows? So
5:06here if I show you the setting and the
5:08volume. So in the bottom which you with
5:10the green candles, right? That
5:12That is basically 10-days pocket pivot.
5:14So as for the pocket pivot concept, we
5:16want to see specifically this color,
5:17right? Any candle with this color
5:20positive for me. And then another one is
5:215-day pocket pivot. So the concept was
5:23introduced as a 10-day, but there is a
5:24concept of 5-day also like in last 5
5:26days, the current volume should be
5:28greater than all the down days volume of
5:31last 5 days, right? So that is something
5:32like this. If you see this Oh, sorry,
5:34yellow one. So that becomes your a
5:365-days pocket pivot. Uh then I have one
5:38which is the highest volume ever. So for
5:40example, something like this which means
5:42in the company's history, this is the
5:43highest volume ever traded on this day,
5:45right? So the highest of volume in here,
5:47so this is basically, you know,
5:49in last 1 year. So, in in this
5:51particular stock, you do I don't see I
5:53see here one. Okay. So,
5:57so this is something where you see this
5:59candle, the orange candle, it means in
6:00last 1 year. So, 9th Feb 2024, the
6:03volume which was traded around 7
6:05million, and this was the highest in
6:06last 1 year. Means from 2023 to 2024,
6:09Feb 2023 to Feb 2024, this is the
6:12highest volume ever traded, right? So,
6:14this is what these colors depict. Now,
6:16the one important one which I wanted to
6:17show you is this You see the bottom
6:19here, the gray color gray color volumes.
6:22These are basically dried dried up
6:24volumes, okay? So, the volume These are
6:26the volume which I generally see when
6:27the base formation is happening and the
6:29right side contraction I keep on talking
6:30about. So, these are the volumes I want
6:33to see where the
6:35dried up volume which is less than
6:36average, less than let's say half or 1/3
6:38of the average volume, okay? And the
6:40rest everything is not too much of color
6:42change. So, volume average period I've
6:44kept as a 50. And for a weekly chart,
6:4610.
6:47Okay. Now, so far you have understood
6:49the pocket pivot volume concept. You
6:51have also understood why it this is very
6:53important. You have also seen the
6:55indicator which I use to identify the
6:57pocket pivot volume visually. Now, let's
6:59create execution framework which I
7:00generally use or how I layer this pocket
7:03pivot for my entry and exits and
7:05everything. Now, please as I've already
7:07mentioned my initial of the video, but
7:08I'll reiterate, this particular pocket
7:10pivot video or the concept is highly
7:13effective in swing trading. Basically on
7:15daily chart. Uh on weekly chart, still I
7:18use it, but then it's a little bit less
7:20effective. Better to time the entry on
7:23daily chart, and then you can use weekly
7:25chart to, you know, trail or track uh
7:26depending upon if it's a positional or
7:28swing trading, it's up to you, okay? The
7:29first bit which I want to talk about is
7:32scanning. Scanning can be done using
7:34pocket pivot for with two ways, right?
7:37One is standalone method, another is via
7:38Pine Script now. So, I'll cover both the
7:40ways or both the concepts today. Now,
7:42let me show you the standalone method
7:43first. Right. Now, this is the
7:45standalone method which I generally use
7:47for the scanning. For the scanning, I've
7:48already covered in detail in these two
7:50videos. So, if you want, you can just
7:51quickly go through. It will make more
7:53sense. This is the scanning mechanism
7:55which I have, right? So, the simple I
7:57use Indian R wall, right? The relative
7:58volume. Give you some of the candidates
8:00where the institutions are accumulating,
8:02right? So, a relative volume is nothing
8:04but if you see the concept here, it is
8:05basically the volume divided by average
8:08past 10 days of the volume. And if it is
8:10greater than that, it basically pocket
8:11pivot. It basically relative volume,
8:13which is something aligned to our pocket
8:15pivot. The only difference is that
8:16pocket pivot looks for the last 10 down
8:18days, whereas this one looks overall 10
8:21days, right? Other bit of which I've
8:23added is common stock market cap,
8:24primary listing. I I look for the stocks
8:27that are above 75 EMA. Um you know,
8:29liquidity filter I've already discussed
8:31uh in my previous videos. And this is
8:33something I want to see. I don't want to
8:34see pocket pivot the stock is going
8:36down. Hence, I've made it like, you
8:38know, change greater than equal to 0%.
8:40As of now, these are the candidate I
8:41have like Chennai Petro. If you see here
8:43on the bottom, this is again the volume
8:45which I'm talking about, okay? Ayush,
8:47ignore that. This Mahamaya Steel looks
8:49interesting because it just the circuit
8:51got changed, but overall commodity is
8:52doing well, so
8:54interesting candidate looking at the
8:56pocket pivot volume down here.
8:57Uh MRPL, Valiant X I mean, all the
9:00defense candidate is Adani was up,
9:02National Aluminum, uh Triveni, Paras.
9:07Be Focus, Digvijay, okay? So, these are
9:09the some of the candidates like Tejas
9:11Network, uh this has another story going
9:13on. Uh Dynamatic, but you know, this is
9:16how you identify. So, end of the day
9:18today is the 38 just 38 candidate
9:20because the market is pretty much bad
9:22due to the war situation. But when the
9:23market is good, uh you see a lot of
9:25candidate around 100 120 candidate you
9:27can easily see into it, okay? So, this
9:29is the one way to identify the pocket
9:31pivot candidate. Another way which I use
9:33Finviz screener. So, what I do is go to
9:36my 52-week high, okay? Can you filter?
9:39So, this is very common filter which I
9:40use. The stock near to its 52-week high,
9:42maybe I mean within the range of 20%,
9:4430%, up to you what whatever you want to
9:46use it, okay? I simply select all and I
9:50do the right click and put it into the
9:51red zone, okay? And I use another one
9:53which is 3 months, 6 months, 1 month
9:55high, okay? I simply select all, right
9:57click, and red candidate. And simple
9:59another one which I add here is the
10:02stock which has moved 30% in last you
10:04know few days last 3 months, okay? I
10:06simply add all of them in the red red
10:08zone or you know just I tag them as a
10:09red and then I go for the finer
10:11screener, right? And in the finer
10:13screener, you can choose an indicator to
10:15identify the pocket pivot, okay? So,
10:16what I do is I choose my TA plot, the
10:19pocket pivot indicator which I have uh
10:21which is this one, okay? And there you
10:24have option of uh
10:2510 days pocket volume, right? So, I
10:27simply choose 10 days as a true and you
10:29simply scan. So, it will scan
10:31out of
10:33300 name as of today, 225 names are the
10:36one which has shown the pocket pivot,
10:38right? So, I will simply mark them as a
10:40another tag and I'll quickly go and just
10:42quickly scan now, right? Now, these are
10:44some of the candidate recently or as of
10:46today, like today when I say today, it
10:48is on 4th of March just after the market
10:51closed. These are the candidates which
10:53are shown some pocket pivot today. It
10:55means some of the institutions are got
10:57interested and they have initiated their
10:59position, right? And I personally prefer
11:01this method finer screener because in
11:03this way once the pocket pivot scan is
11:05done, I also put my inside bar or ADR
11:08bar you know finer screener and I simply
11:10put true and then a scan, okay? It again
11:12brings down 240 name to 51 name and then
11:15I quickly go through. But, this is how
11:16you can scan the candidates specifically
11:18for the pocket pivot, right? Now, once
11:20the scanning is done, next step for you
11:22is to identify a setup, right? Which
11:24which I call as a A+ setup and then what
11:27should be your entry, stop loss, and
11:29your position size and everything,
11:30right? Now, before I discuss about this
11:33practically and show you on the chart, I
11:34want you to basically go through my this
11:36video in detail. I have detailed out my
11:39entry exactly and what setup I look, you
11:42know, and how I manage and everything
11:43else. But, just to quickly give overview
11:45of my entry or setup. So, this is what I
11:48generally look for swing setup, right?
11:49This is what I call as a equality
11:51momentum setup where I look for a prior
11:53uptrend and after that a tight base
11:55formation should happen, right? The base
11:57pattern could be cup and handle, flag
11:58pattern. It can form a VCP pattern,
12:00doesn't matter. But, at the end of the
12:02base, I want to see a tight contraction.
12:04And then, if the stock is breaking out
12:06from this tight contraction, I want to
12:08enter into that stock, okay? The second
12:10entry which I look for is if I have
12:11missed this particular zone due to some
12:13reason, the second immediate entry for
12:15me is to when the stock moves up and
12:18then pull backs to its key EMA, all
12:20right? This is where I look for my
12:21second entry point. And generally,
12:23everything should this should happen
12:24around 21 DMA. Sometime, it can happen
12:27between 11 to 51 DMA between any any of
12:30these two EMA, right? Right, so one
12:32thing you need to understand, right? As
12:34Mark Douglas says that anything can
12:36happen in the stock market, right? So,
12:38stock market is a completely probability
12:40game, right? So, we don't know if if the
12:42next candle will be up or down or
12:44sideways, we don't know, right? Um but,
12:46we are stacking the probabilities in our
12:48favor, right? When we are looking for a
12:50prior uptrend, um it means the stock is
12:53in momentum. Hence, in future also, the
12:54stock can continue being momentum. So,
12:56that is one probability.
12:58Um another is like, you know, looking
12:59for a tight base. Why tight base?
13:01Because when the stock is pretty much at
13:02tight zone, it can go into expansion
13:04zone. And that is what we are looking
13:06for, immediate move from the market.
13:09Again, second probability we are
13:10layering. Third, we are layering saying
13:12that the series of narrow candle or
13:14inside bars, which means the volatility
13:16is pretty much contracted, which means
13:18the volatility has also contracted in
13:20the base form. And also, the candle also
13:22contracting. It means not too much of
13:24buyer or not too much of sellers are,
13:27you know, competing. They are pretty
13:28much at equilibrium position. And now
13:30stock can go any direction, right? These
13:32are the layers we are adding to increase
13:35the probability of the stock to, um, you
13:37know, win. Similarly, we are adding a
13:39pocket pivot, right? Pocket pivot is
13:40another layer we are adding to increase
13:42the probability of stock to win. By
13:44saying that, if I see a pocket pivot in
13:46a candle, it means, uh, the institutions
13:48are accumulating, hence the chances of a
13:50stock to go up is high. Your strike rate
13:52still can be 40, 50, 60%. But the idea
13:55is, when you make a return, right, by
13:57having a tight stop loss, one or two
13:59good returns or good R will basically
14:01compensate all of your other losses. And
14:03that is what we are trying to do by
14:04adding these other layers, like prior
14:06uptrend, EMA, tight bar, tight candle,
14:08pocket pivot. These are the layers you
14:11are adding to increase the probability
14:12of winning in that the stock. Now, let's
14:14quickly come to the execution side of
14:16it, right? So, we'll The first I will
14:17show you how I generally tend to see a
14:20pocket pivot. And, uh, after the
14:22scanning the candidate, which we've
14:23already discussed, and then we'll go
14:24through few examples to, you know,
14:26ingrain that pocket pivot concept in
14:28your brain. So, entry example which I
14:29wanted to discuss is Kirloskar Oil
14:32Engine, right? Just a disclosure, this
14:33is not a buy or sell recommendation.
14:35This is something I'm just sharing to
14:37understand the concept of pocket pivot,
14:38okay? So, what I said, the prior
14:40uptrend, I can see that. I can see a
14:42flag formation here. So, good move, and
14:44then, you know, stock basically
14:45consolidating or pulling back to its key
14:47EMA. Now, the green line which you see
14:49here is the EMA 21. And then there is a
14:51tight contraction is happening on the
14:53right side of the base. If you see these
14:54candle 0.22 0.82, pretty much very
14:56tight, okay? 0.34 1.08. And then, uh,
15:00day before yesterday, I mean, couple of
15:02days back when the market was hit by the
15:03war news, this stock pulled back. This
15:05stock basically went down, gap down,
15:07right? If you see here, uh, this stock
15:09went approximately from its previous
15:11close, approximately 8% down. But by the
15:15end of the day, this stock closed in a
15:16green. That is first sign of strength
15:19here. And if you see in the bottom, that
15:21shows the five days of pocket pivot,
15:22right? That is something I got I'm
15:24interested in. Now, today when the stock
15:26closed, again it closed very tight,
15:280.078. And again the pocket pivot volume
15:30is you see 5 days
15:32pocket pivot volume. Now, these are the
15:34something it interest interest me. And
15:36what is another point which we want to
15:37see is if you see the previous uptrend,
15:39when you see this move, there were many
15:41multiple pocket pivot here, right? We're
15:43green, green, green, a lot of these
15:45green candles here, right? You don't see
15:47a lot of purple candles, right? You
15:48don't see a lot of distribution happen
15:50in here in past many days. It means
15:51somebody's
15:53some institution or someone who
15:54understand the business well or some
15:56catalyst is there and they are
15:57accumulating the stock. So, for example,
16:00here on the bottom if you see
16:02um
16:02in on on 12th November, I think a big
16:06highest volume ever came in, right? If
16:07you ever as I showed you in my setting,
16:09the white one is highest of volume ever.
16:11So, on November 12th, the highest volume
16:14was traded and the stock went up 11% and
16:16after that I have rarely seen any purple
16:19candle except one which was here around
16:213rd of December, right? But then you
16:24will rarely see any purple candi-
16:26candles, right? And this is how you
16:27choose your stocks, right? If like when
16:29you are seeing the price, parallelly you
16:31also see the volume, okay? And you don't
16:33see a lot of purple bars, which means
16:35the stock is under accumulation zone. It
16:36means someone is accumulating lot not
16:39lot of people are selling. They are
16:40pretty much the stock is either in a
16:42very tight volume, which means very
16:44equilibrium position is there or
16:47mostly people are accumulating, right?
16:49Now, to time my entry, what I'll simply
16:51do is if tomorrow, let's say tomorrow if
16:53you want to enter into this candidate,
16:54I'll simply put a you know, alert over
16:56here and the moment it goes above I'll
16:57enter. And the stop loss could be tight
17:00for me, so I generally look for the low
17:01of the day or low of the previous
17:03candle. So, this is 4% too high for me.
17:05So, if
17:06uh even if I keep keep it around EMA
17:08which is around the EMA is around 2.
17:11around 1416, so maybe around 2% or 2 and
17:141/2% can be my stop loss. And in that
17:17way I can easily allocate 30 34% of my
17:20position and my overall risk per
17:23portfolio will be still less than 1%
17:25okay. So that is how you can size up
17:27your position immediately. Another
17:29example let me show you is national
17:31aluminium. Just a disclaimer I have a
17:34position in the stock no buy sell
17:36recommendation again.
17:37Exactly the same stories which I just
17:39discussed for the Kirloskar right. So
17:41here I saw one purple bar on the earning
17:43day that is something is not good but
17:45last for many days I see a lot of green
17:48candles which means the accumulation is
17:50quite high and after this pullback when
17:52the pullback has happened on entire all
17:53the commodity stock this
17:55volume was pretty much tight and then
17:57from past
17:59three four day one pocket pivot came and
18:01today pocket pivot volume came right and
18:02I got interested. Okay. So I simply
18:05again you put a tight high on so these
18:07are the two tight candle I have put the
18:09alert here. The moment it this alert was
18:11triggered I entered in the stock around
18:13273 around and the stop loss was again
18:16tight of 2 to 3% okay and the similar
18:18manner I I can simply position in this
18:21position size is quite less but overall
18:23the context also matters like you know
18:24the market is right now very much
18:25volatile and reactive because of the war
18:27news and everything. You don't want to
18:29put your entire position size in one
18:31stock immediately. This is why how you
18:33time your entry. So let's discuss few
18:34more examples. So the one which I wanted
18:36to share with you is some is this one
18:38okay. These are the most ideal setup
18:41which you want to look for in any
18:42candidate. So something like this you
18:44see this particular
18:45uh
18:46setup which you see here okay. This is
18:48basically a plus plus setup where the
18:50tightest candle is formed and in those
18:52candle also you see the pocket pivot
18:53right. So let me try break it down for
18:55you. Prior uptrend okay no problem in
18:58that and then immediate move and the
18:59stock pulled back. Stock stock pulled
19:01back its key MA and it formed a tight
19:03candle here right. Okay. Then the stock
19:06again went up again pulled back again
19:07went up and again pulled back. What
19:09pattern is this? It's clearly a W
19:11pattern right? Uh so, if I show you one,
19:15two, and then this tight one last,
19:17right? So, this become your
19:19VCP pattern or volatility contraction
19:21pattern, okay? Now, this is where I
19:23should get interested. How this candle
19:25will come to your scanner? This candle
19:27will come to us your scanner at this
19:29particular volume bar, right? Because
19:32pocket pivot volume or or this or this.
19:34So, whenever you are running your
19:35scanner and you're looking for your
19:37relative volume, which I've just
19:38discussed few minutes back, somewhere
19:40around this candle or this candle or
19:42this candle or probably this candle, you
19:44know, where where you see the pocket
19:46pivot, your stock will appear, right?
19:48Now, here these are the five candle
19:49which should basically uh push you to
19:52enter into this stock, right? These five
19:54uh candles are pretty much very tight.
19:56And the best thing is on the bottom
19:57within the tight candle also, I see a
19:59pocket pivot here, right? Two pocket
20:00pivot within the tight candle, at this
20:02candle and in this candle.
20:04And this is the rarest of rarest
20:06scenarios where
20:07in the tight candle, like 1% or 0.48%
20:11you see a pocket pivot, which means the
20:12institutions are
20:14not leaving a single chance to
20:16accumulate the stock. Now, what I what
20:18simply have to do is you simply put
20:20alert on the top of this particular
20:21range, okay?
20:22And anything, so if the stock gapped up
20:24over here, approximately 280, so may
20:26even if you're in the middle of the
20:27candle around 285 you have entered, you
20:29made a good risk reward. And this is one
20:30of the live trade which I traded, and
20:32this was a good return within a very
20:34short period of time. Exactly same thing
20:36has happened in Hind Copper uh Hindustan
20:38Copper
20:39here at this base, if you see. So, this
20:41is again forming a good cup and handle,
20:43right? This overall. And this candle was
20:45the breakout candle for me. So, top of
20:48this would be my entry point at the top
20:49of this candle. And what is the best
20:51thing? The pocket pivot here. You see in
20:52the within the base also, you see a lot
20:54of pocket pivot is happening, which
20:55means institutions are silently
20:57accumulating when the stock was pulling
20:58back. And here on here also, the stock
21:01was give one pocket pivot, and after
21:02that is three days of pullback, and then
21:04stock give immediate good return. So,
21:06this is the BSC trade, another example
21:08I'll take that and this is probably one
21:09of the best trade I have taken with a
21:11full allocation. So, at that time uh I
21:13have allocated around 25-30% of my
21:15portfolio. And this stock has given
21:17immediate result. And that is what you
21:19want to see in swing trade, right? You
21:20don't want to sit in a stock for
21:21multiple days. This is a strong uptrend
21:24and then the stock formed a decent base
21:25from here to here. And you see the
21:27sorry, left side of the base, you see a
21:29lot of purple bars, you know, less green
21:30bar, but decent amount of purple bars.
21:32But a moment you went to the right side
21:34of the base, you see a lot of green
21:36pocket pivot volumes, right? And that is
21:38what it shows that in institutions are
21:40now getting interested and they are
21:42initiating they are initiating their or
21:44adding to their portfolios and hence the
21:46stock shows the volume footprint in
21:49these candle, right? And it become very
21:51easy, right? Visually using this
21:52indicator that the moment you see the
21:54lot of these green candle, it
21:55automatically shows tell to your brain
21:57that okay, some
21:58some accumulation is going on into the
22:00stock. And then what happened? I entered
22:02as you see in the screenshot, I entered
22:03around 29th of August. Right? I see
22:05continuously updrift of the stock. To be
22:08honest, this entry was not perfect entry
22:09for me, but why I entered? Because of
22:11the pocket pivot, right? So, if you see
22:12in the bottom here, you see the pocket
22:14pivot volume continuously coming in and
22:16this candle or this candle, I see the
22:18tight candles here and I immediately
22:20entered with my good amount of
22:22allocation there, right? And the stock
22:24was hardly 2 to 3%. And then few days
22:26stock didn't work much. It was just
22:27simple pullback to its EMA and after
22:29that the stock has given 40-50% return
22:31immediately. I think I exited with 41%,
22:35but at the top it gave around 51%. Now
22:37and that happened hardly in 10 days, 10
22:39to 12 days, okay? Another And again,
22:41when the stock pulled back, again I
22:42entered with the same logic. So, if you
22:44see here on the bottom, okay, when the
22:45stock is pulling back, it took a support
22:47of 21 EMA and then after that it again
22:50jumped with the some volume and next was
22:51a pocket pivot volume and after that the
22:53stock again gave 30-40%. So, this is how
22:55this pocket pivot can help you to
22:57increase the probability of your trade.
22:59So, JP Power is another perfect example
23:01which I want to talk about. So, if you
23:03see here, this was a prior uptrend,
23:04pullback to its EMA. So, this was the
23:06one entry point you could have. But
23:08after that, the stock has formed again a
23:10tight range. And the what is the beauty
23:11of this tight range in this you see in
23:12the bottom, the pocket pivots, right?
23:14All other factor, prior uptrend, tight
23:16base consolidation base pattern, EMA,
23:18everything is aligned. But along with
23:20that, you see the pocket pivot. Pocket
23:22pivot is something moment I see, I get
23:23very interested and my
23:25any stock if you go on my X profile and
23:28if you scan satellite, and you will see
23:30all my stock names has pocket pivot. I
23:32have not ever entered into the stock
23:35without pocket pivot. Now, it doesn't
23:36mean that I have a 100% strike rate. I
23:38have hardly 40, 30, 40% of a strike in
23:40long term. Well, but what is the best is
23:42that the one which I have made return, I
23:44have made a good return because of this
23:45pocket pivot, right? The one which has
23:47hit the stop loss, the worst I've lost
23:492, 3, 3, 4%. But when I made the return,
23:51I made sometime 12%, 15, 30, 40,
23:54depending upon how the stock went up and
23:55what I traded and all.
23:57Exactly same thing had happened here.
23:59So, the stock move up, pull back little
24:01bit, you know, up direction and then a
24:03tight consolidation. And within the
24:04tight consolidation, you see the pocket
24:06pivot examples, lot of pocket pivot.
24:07After that, the stock has given a very
24:09immediate positive reaction of 40, 50.
24:11The another recent one which I entered
24:12was Amber. Amber again the same example.
24:15So, when the stock was consolidating
24:17here, I see the pocket pivots here and
24:19this is where I entered. It again went
24:21up, but day before yesterday the stock
24:23gap down and hit my stop loss. But this
24:25is how you should enter. Market will
24:27react, the stop loss will get hit. If
24:29you have a small stop loss, then it will
24:30immediately get absorbed with some other
24:33profit trade. But that is how you have
24:35to plan your trade and look for the
24:36tight consolidation, right? And this is
24:38how you have to use the pocket pivot and
24:40layer it in your entire trading system
24:42or trading process to increase the
24:43probability. All right? So, now since
24:45you have understood the entire concept,
24:47example, entry and exit, everything
24:48using a pocket pivot and overall swing
24:50trading. Now, there are few common
24:51mistake which a lot of trader out there
24:53will make and be aware of that. The
24:55first one is treating any volume as a
24:57spike as a pocket pivot, right? You
24:59should know that where you have to look
25:00for the pocket pivot. When the stock is
25:02long-term downtrend and suddenly you see
25:04a spike in the
25:05you know a spike in the volume as a
25:07pocket pivot, that is not right way to
25:09identify the pocket pivot. As I
25:10mentioned, the pocket pivot only make
25:12more sense when there's a prior uptrend,
25:14tight consolidation, base formation, and
25:16then on right side of base you see a lot
25:18of pocket pivots as a cluster of pocket
25:20pivots, right? And the second is
25:21ignoring the context. So, it doesn't
25:23matter, you know, even if the
25:25consolidation or setup is very high. If
25:27there is a context which is like market
25:28or sector is not aligned to that stock,
25:30that stock will fail. So, try not to
25:33enter into every stock or look for the
25:34market and sector along with that. If it
25:36is not correct, if it is not aligned to
25:39you know your overall ease of trading,
25:41then try not to enter into the stock.
25:43Third is buying extended move. If If the
25:45pocket pivot is forming at extremely far
25:48from its base, right? After three, four
25:50base, try not to participate in that.
25:51And last but not least is
25:54treating pocket pivot as a magic
25:55indicator
25:56or solely relying into this one
25:58indicator. As I said, this is a just a
26:00layer in overall of my process. My
26:02process starts with prior uptrend, tight
26:03base, chart pattern, tight candle, right
26:05side base, and then pocket pivot, right?
26:07So, this just one of the layer to
26:09increase the probability of the game.
26:11What some of us will do that, you know,
26:13the moment I see the pocket pivot, I'll
26:14simply enter into that stock. No.
26:16Everything aligned and then I saw the
26:18pocket pivot, hence I entered. Not that
26:20I just saw the pocket pivot and I
26:21entered into the stock. So, try not to
26:23use this as a magic indicator.
26:25Use it as a support to your entire
26:27process and hence, you know, treat it
26:29like that. So, with this we have reached
26:30to the final thoughts. So, what I want
26:32from you, I want two things. First is
26:34you go back and check all the trending
26:35stock, right? Like in the recent market,
26:38all the financial stock, auto OEMs, you
26:40know, Force Motors and all other stocks.
26:42And look for the patterns and look and
26:44try to identify the pocket pivot. And
26:46second thing which I want from you is
26:47put put those names below in comment
26:49section and I'll validate and respond to
26:51you. With this, if this video added some
