The names and levels sit behind a paywall and I could not retrieve them, so I do not state any pick and I do not borrow stocks from other lists. The Nifty 50 closed at 22,622.70 on 14 October with resistance at 22,700 to 22,850 and support at 22,300 to 22,400, and GIFT Nifty pointed to a flat to weak start. This guide explains how to read his format and how to size and manage the trades once you have the original levels.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Raja Venkatraman is a technical analyst and co-founder of NeoTrader, and his daily stock picks appear in Mint. A typical call names a stock, a trigger above which to buy, a stop loss and one or two targets.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Raja Venkatraman list is not available to me, this article does not review the three stocks. It covers the market conditions on the day, a method for using his levels and the checks that protect a trader from the common mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Please take the names and levels from the original
