The names and levels are behind a paywall and I could not retrieve them, so none are stated here. Nifty closed at 22,997.35 on 15 Oct, with resistance at 23,000 to 23,150 and support at 22,776 to 22,900.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Raja Venkatraman has published stocks to buy or sell for Friday 16 October 2026, and each call normally carries an entry level, a stop loss and a target. The names and levels are paywalled and I could not retrieve them, so I do not state any pick and I do not borrow stocks from other lists. Nifty closed at 22,997.35 on 15 October after a 1.66% rise, and GIFT Nifty pointed to a higher open near 23,106. 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, whether to buy or sell, a trigger price, a stop loss and one or two targets.<\/p>\n<p>Because the list is not available to me, this article does not review the stocks. It covers the market conditions on the day, a method for using his levels and the checks that protect a trader from common mistakes. Please take the names and levels from the original Mint article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a
