Raja Venkatraman Recommends 3 Stocks for 15 October: Buy Above, Stop Loss, Target and How to Trade Them

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.

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.

Please take the names and levels from the original Mint article.

Raja Venkatraman Stock Picks: What Is and Is Not Known

Item	Status
Analyst	Raja Venkatraman, co-founder of NeoTrader
Date	15 October 2026
Number of stocks	Three
Stock names	Not retrieved (paywalled)
Buy above, stop loss and target	Not retrieved (paywalled)
Holding period	Not retrieved

Earlier Raja Venkatraman lists have generally been short term trades with a stop loss close to the entry, so the position size matters. I do not assume that this list follows the same pattern, and the original post should be the guide.

Risk: Acting on a stock pick without the original levels, or with second-hand levels, can create a trade that has no defined risk.

Market Backdrop for the Raja Venkatraman Picks

Item	Level	Note
Nifty 50 close on 14 Oct	22,622.70, down 0.44%	Nifty IT led gains
GIFT Nifty	About 22,601	Sources show 22,601 to 22,649

A flat to weak start makes breakout trades harder, because the stock needs to cross its trigger while the index is under pressure. If a Raja Venkatraman stock is a results stock, an earnings gap can jump the stop loss.

Risk: A technical level can fail on a gap opening that ignores the stop loss.

How to Trade Raja Venkatraman Calls With Discipline

Step	Action	Reason
1	Take the levels from the original article	Avoid errors
2	Wait for the buy above trigger to be crossed	Do not pre-empt the setup
3	Compute the risk reward	Skip trades below your minimum
4	Size the position from the stop loss distance	Cap the loss
5	Place the stop loss at entry	Remove emotion
6	Book part at the first target	Lock gains
7	Exit by the end of the holding period	Avoid drifting into an investment

An illustration with made-up numbers, not a Raja Venkatraman pick: buy above Rs 200, stop loss Rs 192 and target Rs 216 risks Rs 8 to gain Rs 16, a ratio of 2 to 1 (my calculation). A trader willing to lose Rs 4,000 per trade would buy 500 shares, since Rs 4,000 divided by Rs 8 is 500 (my calculation).

Risk: Position sizing from the stop loss distance is what keeps one failed trade small.

Common Mistakes With Daily Stock Picks

Mistake	Better approach
Buying before the trigger	Wait for the price to cross it
Chasing after a gap up	Skip the trade if risk reward worsens
Moving the stop loss away	Honour the original level
Ignoring events	Check results and news for the stock
Over sizing	Risk a small share of capital per trade

A daily stock pick is a trade idea with a short shelf life, so the list for 15 October may be stale by the following week.

What to Watch Next for the Raja Venkatraman Picks

1. The original levels in the Mint article
2. Whether each stock crosses its buy above price in the first hour
3. Wipro, Tech Mahindra and Nestle India results
4. The Nifty 50 against 22,700 and 22,400
5. Crude oil and foreign investor flows

Conclusion

The three stocks from Raja Venkatraman for 15 October are not available to me, so I do not name them. The method matters more than any one pick: wait for the trigger, size from the stop loss and treat the target as a plan.
