Glossary

A floor made of memory — people who regret selling there and people who want out at break-even.

You never send money anywhere. On allotment the block becomes a debit; without allotment it simply lifts, and all you gave up was the ability to spend that amount for a week.

Partly self-fulfilling — enough traders place orders at the 20 or 50-day average that the orders themselves create the support. Self-fulfilling is still real.

Only credible with a volume surge. Without one it is usually a trap.

Built on stories that are genuinely true. The error is the price paid for the story, not the story.

Stock-tip groups are confirmation machines — everyone in them already owns it.

Looks like the busiest indicator on the screen and is really one midpoint calculation at four speeds. Above the cloud is up, below is down, inside is no-trade.

Everyone who sold at ₹400 and watched it run to ₹450 will buy on a return to ₹400.

The large unexplained debit that turns out to be your own money going back to your bank. Idle cash with a broker is the one balance a broker failure can reach.

One candle, two rooms. Put the support in the plan as a line item rather than hoping it fits.

Because the retained slice and the support mean substantially all the risks and rewards have not gone, the loans frequently stay on the balance sheet and the money received is recorded as a borrowing.

The one part of the framework that makes a falsifiable, time-bound prediction. If support is not reclaimed quickly, the thesis is dead and you exit without interpreting anything.

Very popular with Indian intraday traders. A trend-follower, so it whipsaws in ranges.

Often the cleanest short entry a channel offers, because the invalidation sits just beyond the rail rather than far away.

The cheapest large borrowing a household can get, which is exactly the danger. Money borrowed for twenty years to fund something consumed in one is not cheap because the rate is low.

Rent or EMI, fees, utilities, insurance — and for many Indian households, support to parents. Name it and size it rather than treating it as a surprise.

Nobody holds a position inside a gap, which is exactly why it later acts as support or resistance.

Supporting parents competes directly with retirement. Better decided at thirty-five than fifty-five.

The only common indicator that draws part of itself into the future, so today’s chart shows where support will sit next month.

The strike with the largest call open interest often acts as resistance and the largest put strike as support, because writers hedging those positions generate real buying and selling. One source of confluence, not a forecast.

A company can pass the first test and fail the second permanently. Positive unit economics with a cost base the addressable market cannot support is what catches people who stopped checking after the first question.

The picture of a healthy pullback — shallow, unhurried and unsupported by volume, meaning nobody is willing to sell in size. The falling three methods is the same structure inside a downtrend.

The output is a spread rather than a figure, and the spread is the honest answer. A DCF quoted to the rupee is a claim the model cannot support.

The number that actually matters on a policy. If it would not support your family for years, the policy is not doing its job.
