In this post, we share how we navigated the recent panic phase in the market and guided our Equity Premium members using our Techno-Funda strategy — with timely exits, fresh entries, and disciplined positioning that helped us ride the recovery with confidence.

“Conviction is built not in comfort, but in chaos — those who stay prepared don’t just survive volatility, they grow through it.”

7th April Update — We said:

“Do not panic sell. Fresh trades coming.”

“Top Up Your SIP”

On 7th April onwards : Initiated fresh trades and bottom buying in quality names : 

👉 Larsen & Toubro, Tech Mahindra, Max Financials, Apl Apollo, and many more….

👉 Recommended buying in Defence Stocks and ride the rally in GRSE and Mazagon Dock. Booked 20-30% quick profit

👉 16th April 2025 : Shared view on Gold – Topping out after massive rally.

We were holding Gold from Rs. 58,000 levels in Equity Premium Group.

✅ Overall – From 7th April onwards:

  • 12 new trades shared
  • Profit Booked in 12 trades (including old trades)
  • 3 exited at cost/loss due to bad news

 ✅ While many Small & Midcaps also recovered , we focused on low-beta quality names — and that rewarded us well.

📚 Key Takeaways

The market again reminded us:

Buy the fear || Buy when others panic || Buy when there’s blood on the street

Despite major global tensions — US tariff issues, India-Pakistan war talk — markets absorbed it all.

Key Learnings:

 ✅ Stick to the process
 ✅ Panic selling never works
 ✅ Volatility is normal — stay calm for long-term gain
 ✅ Nifty below 20x PE = long-term opportunity
 ✅ Accepting losses is part of disciplined investing
 ✅ Markets are forward-looking
 ✅ Success lies in getting better, not being perfect

🧠 Our Strategy: Techno-Funda at the Core

We use a Techno-Funda strategy:

Recommend stocks that are Fundamentally strong with long-term triggers, and Technically ready for breakout.

This dual-layered filter gives us:

 ✅ Stronger conviction in trades

 ✅ Better risk control

 ✅ The ability to ride strong moves without chasing

The last phase rewarded discipline. The next phase will reward preparation.

Keep tracking. Stay patient. Trust the process.
