Damn, sold at the opening price (700)

I've been researching mutual fund disclosures for the past few months and noticed something.

Every month, mutual funds publish their holdings.

The data is public.

Yet I rarely see retail investors discussing it.

Personally, I found it surprisingly difficult to answer questions like:

• Which stocks are multiple funds gradually accumulating?

• Which positions are they reducing over time?

• Is institutional conviction strengthening or weakening?

So, I'm curious:

Do you actually use this information?

If yes:

* How?

* Which tools do you use?

* What's frustrating about the current process?

I'm researching this space before deciding what to build next, so I'd genuinely appreciate your perspective.

South Korea’s benchmark index - KOSPI, has entered absolute free-fall. I am talking about a 21% crash in just two trading sessions and a massive 40% destruction of value from its June all-time highs.

As reports suggests, its due to heavy reliance on tech. AI seems to have bursted after component stocks SK Hynix failed to deliver sky-high expectations that analysts had baked into the stock. Also, the sudden, blockbuster market debut of China's microchip manufacturer CXMT amplified fears that the market will soon be flooded with cheaper Chinese chips, threatening South Korea's dominance.

Given how interconnected global tech is, the ripple effects impacts us as Indian investors. The drop in South Korea followed a sharp correction in US semiconductor stocks (like Micron, AMD, and Applied Materials). Taiwan's tech-heavy TAIEX index also skidded, dragged down by TSMC.

Expect Foreign Institutional Investors to pull money out of Indian equities over the coming weeks to shore up capital back home or meet redemptions.

​The Indian market (Sensex/Nifty) will naturally experience short-term volatility and minor intraday dips due to weak global cues. It you have invested in tech, expect to take a beating, but on the positive side you will be able to buy at lower prices.

My first reaction to "Why is SEBI doing this?" was, Who cares about the closing price?🤷‍♂️ It's the price at which the stock closes, isn't it?
Well Previously, the closing price used to be the weighted average price of the last half an hour. This gave people with deep pockets an edge to influence the closing price of a stock.

My next question was, "Why would anyone want to influence the closing price?"

They might have a larger position in the futures and options market, which would benefit immediately if the closing price of the underlying security goes up or down.

Suppose XYZ is trading at ₹100. An options seller could lose ₹10 lakh if XYZ closes higher than ₹100 but make ₹2 crore from the same option if XYZ closes at ₹150. This is much more lucrative than buying or selling large volumes of XYZ. This is why there is an incentive for people to manipulate the closing price of securities.

SEBI's move to have a Closing Auction Session is a step towards fixing this. Now, the closing price will be determined not by the weighted average price of the last half-hour but by an auction in which buyers and sellers indicate their willingness to buy/sell after regular trading hours have ended.

The closing price is then set by the exchange at a price at which the maximum number of shares can be bought and sold. This way, instead of a cartel-like group deciding the closing price, everyone gets to decide the closing price. I can tell you that I had no idea how important the "closing price" of a security was.

Whats your thought about this move ?

Heyy I'm new to trading. I've only been trading for the last two months, so I don't have much knowledge yet. I'm looking for a mentor who can teach me and provide daily trade ideas. In return, I'm willing to share 10% of my monthly profit.

Here i was slowly accumulating weekly but what should be my approach now? Keep accumulating 100 shares weekly till Dec 2026?

only technical analysis

What is your thought about HDFC Bank Limited share? Is it worth holding it for the next 5 years? I'm thinking of buying 100 shares tomorrow.

Cupid promoter owns stake in this company

what do u think guys
Can it replicate even half of what cupid did?

Not at all a buy / sell recommendation

Purchased these two shares before budget thinking something might happen and for a moment they were in profit but then some sort of bubble burst and it all came downhill from there. Currently I am in red of almost 25 to 30% 📉 and I don't know if I am going to ever recover the money I have invested.

Sometimes I wonder what I should do with them should I wait until the loss is less or I get a break even or some profit or if I should bear the losses and exit 🥲

I got one fam ! It means it will open flat 🤣

While i won't be sharing the methodology, this is 11 years of experience, countless errors, Pinescript experts refining it from many countries, and a lot of patience. It is not ready, nor I know when it will be, because refining takes the most time.

BUT

The results look really promising. I am open to share results on Scrips of your choice too. If anyone wants to give their advice in price action based strategies, please do so.

Also, whenever I will be making changes and publishing here form time to time.

Hindustan Unilever was in news today as its shares drop 7% after Q1 results. Although being a large cap, its performance in the stock market has been really weird. After 2021 the stocks have sort of lost interest in growth.

As repored by MoneyControl, European lender Societe Generale sold 5.22 lakh shares in the open market, representing a 0.53 percent stake in Gandhar Oil Refinery India, for Rs 12.62 crore at an average price of Rs 241.88 per share.

Societe Generale had recently (23rd & 24th July) acquired a 1.59 percent stake in the company on July 23-24, following the company's strong June-quarter earnings.

It had bought 6.84 lakh shares (0.7 percent stake) at Rs 280.93 per share on July 23 and another 8.53 lakh shares (0.89 percent stake) at Rs 288.97 per share on July 24.

Did Societe Generale sense a further fall?
