The rules, explained

Five pages on the parts of swing trading that decide the outcome before the chart does. Each is what TradeOrSkip actually applies, not a summary of what everyone says.

How to check the market before you take a swing trade

Trend, breadth and volatility, in the order that decides whether a setup is worth taking at all — and how to read them without a terminal.

Why a valid breakout fails

The same chart pattern works in one tape and fails four times running in another. What actually changes, and what it looks like beforehand.

Stop-loss and position size, in that order

The stop decides the size, never the other way round. The arithmetic, with the two mistakes that make an account unrecoverable.

How to find swing trades on the NSE

Liquidity, trend template, relative strength, sector, setup. Five filters in the order that removes the most work — and why no page here lists “today’s best stocks”.

How to stop overtrading

Overtrading is a limits problem, not a discipline problem. Portfolio heat, position count, and the day the rule is inconvenient.

What you will not find here

No “best stocks to buy today”. The premise of this product is that a good setup in a market that will not support it is a losing trade, so a list published without today’s market state would contradict everything else on this site.

What is published instead is the decision itself: today’s market gate — including, on a quiet day, the stocks that were rejected and the exact rule that rejected them.
