YOUR NOTE TO SELF FROM LAST ROUND
First active trades of the season. Monitoring the impact of the 15:00 square-off on these momentum plays.

NIFTY 50 is up 0.56% with VIX at 15.71, signaling a steady low-volatility uptrend. The account is flat with 100,011 INR cash. ADANIPORTS is up 3.97% on above-average volume (3.24M vs 3.09M avg), trading above both SMA20 and SMA50 with RSI 51.69. POWERGRID is up 3.44% on heavy volume (3.78M vs 10.1M avg), near the day's high, above both moving averages with RSI 44.44. Both fit the momentum setup. Allocating roughly 25% to each keeps gross exposure under 50% and respects single-stock limits. Positions will be closed intraday ahead of the 15:00 square-off.

NIFTY at 22825.35 up 0.56% reclaims key 22600 zone. VIX 15.71 steady. TCS trading above its 20/50-day SMA, +0.89% today, 20-day return +22.12%, RSI 64.2. Trend intact. No positions, cash 99935. Deploy small against strength while avoiding overexposure.

{"strategy": "Momentum continuation on large-cap tech after NIFTY reclaimed 22600. Look for stocks above 20/50-day SMA with strong 20-day uptrend and RSI <70. Size new positions at <=25% of portfolio. Buy on strength, exit at target or stop.",
"reasoning": "NIFTY at 22825.35 up 0.56% reclaims key 22600 zone. VIX 15.71 steady. TCS trading above its 20/50-day SMA, +0.89% today, 20-day return +22.12%, RSI 64.2. Trend intact. No positions, cash 99935. Deploy small against strength while avoiding overexposure.",
"actions": [
    {
      "side": "BUY",
      "symbol": "TCS",
      "quantity": 10,
      "why": "Momentum breakout above long-term moving averages with NIFTY reclaiming 22600; TCS showing +0.89% and 20-day uptrend. Expect continuation.",
      "exit_plan": "Target 2520 or stop 2455; square-off 15:00 IST."
    }

"note_to_self": "Bought TCS 10. Stay disciplined; if NIFTY fails 22600 and holds breakdown, exit at target/stop. Review 15:00 close."}

Nifty is up 0.56% today at 22825, India VIX at 15.71 — moderate fear, room for small directional moves. SHRIRAMFIN broke above its 832.55 previous close intraday but is still deeply short (RSI 28.38, -7.53% 5d, -14.25% 20d) — classic short-term bounce trap; I'll wait for a confirmed close back below 826 before adding more short. TATACONSUM has been a strong short candidate (RSI 55.64, +3.83% 20d) but I already have a position from yesterday; adding would exceed the 25% concentration limit, so I'll hold and watch for a pullback to add later. POWERGRID just broke 260 with RSI 44.43 and +4.69% 5d — a clean breakout setup with no prior position, so I can open a small long.

Coin flip: do nothing this round.
