What stocks deserve attention?
I have roughly 2,000 listed stocks and limited time. Where should I focus? This framework narrows. It does not judge.
Illustrative counts. Actual numbers vary with market conditions.
This framework exists to answer that question.
Its purpose is not to predict winners.
Its purpose is to systematically reduce a large universe of stocks into a manageable set of opportunities worthy of further study.
Judgment comes later.
Before searching for opportunities, I remove stocks that fall outside my investable universe.
These exclusions exist regardless of how attractive a chart may appear.
A good chart does not compensate for poor tradability.
The goal is not to find every opportunity.
The goal is to find opportunities that can actually be traded.
After structural exclusions, I focus on stocks that are liquid enough to trade and active enough to generate meaningful movement.
This is a quantitative filter.
| Filter | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Price | > ₹50 |
| Average Daily Traded Value | > ₹5 Cr |
| Average Daily Range (ADR) | > 3% |
Thresholds are provisional and will be refined as the framework evolves.
This is where the framework shifts from screening to context.
I rarely begin with a stock.
I begin with leadership.
Before looking for individual names, I want to understand where capital is flowing.
No single indicator determines leadership. Instead, I look for alignment across multiple signals:
Sector leadership is confirmed when multiple pieces of evidence point in the same direction.
This is the first subjective step.
Everything before this stage can be filtered.
This stage requires judgment.
By this point, the universe has already been reduced significantly. I now manually review approximately 100–150 charts.
This stage transforms a filtered universe into a practical watchlist.
The two frameworks operate independently.
Framework 01 determines how much risk I am willing to take.
Framework 02 determines where I am willing to look.
It Is Not A Prediction System. The framework does not attempt to identify the next winning stock.
It Is Not A Fundamental Screener. Because my holding periods are typically measured in days rather than years, valuation metrics such as PE, PB, or dividend yield are not primary inputs.
It Is Not An Automated Buy List. The framework identifies candidates. Trade selection happens later.
“Where should I look?”
“Which opportunity deserves capital?”
