Pre-Market Strategy

Strategy 1: Gap Direction Assessment:
• 9:00 pe check karo: pre-open Nifty kahan hai?
• Agar pre-open Nifty > previous close = gap up
• Agar pre-open Nifty < previous close = gap down
• Plan accordingly:
• Gap up + bullish stock = buy on pullback
• Gap up + bearish stock = avoid (trap risk)
• Gap down + bullish stock = potential buy at discount
• Gap down + bearish stock = avoid

Strategy 2: Pre-Market Watchlist Check:
• 9:00-9:08: Apni watchlist stocks ke pre-open prices check karo
• Identify: kaunse stocks strong gap up/down kar rahe hain
• Reason dhoondo: news? results? sector move?
• Trade plan banao: entry, SL, target pre-decide karo
• 9:15 ke baad execute karo (not in pre-open — retail can't trade in pre-open)

Strategy 3: Global Cues Check:
• US markets (close 2:30 AM IST): Dow, Nasdaq, S&P close
• Asian markets (open before India): Nikkei, Hang Seng, SGX Nifty
• Crude oil, Dollar index, Gold
• Agar US markets up + Asian up + SGX Nifty up = likely gap up
• Agar US down + Asian down + SGX Nifty down = likely gap down
