Trade framework
Position-sizing example
These examples use the distance between the reference entry and stop-loss. They do not account for commissions, slippage, taxes, overnight gaps, or your personal account size.
Exit plan
- Stop-loss: Exit if the stop-loss is reached. Do not move the stop farther away to avoid taking the planned loss.
- Target 1: Consider taking partial profit when Target 1 is reached and reducing risk on the remaining shares.
- Target 2 or trailing exit: Consider closing the remaining position at Target 2, or use a disciplined trailing stop only if the trend remains strong.
- Time exit: Reassess or close a trade that fails to progress within the suggested holding window.

Easy explanation for new investors
The scanner found HDFC Bank Ltd (HDB) using a pattern called an Oversold Bullish Reversal. This means the price dropped quite a bit, and the scanner sees signs that it might turn around. A special tool called the RSI is at 16.45. The RSI measures how fast prices are changing. When this number is very low, it shows the stock is "oversold," which means it has been sold many times recently. The scanner gave this setup a score of 20 out of 100.
What the price plan means
The entry zone is between 23.24 and 23.4151. This is the price range where the setup is active. If the price moves up, the first goal is 24.7496, and the second goal is 25.5044. To manage risk, there is a stop-loss at 22.4852. A stop-loss is an automatic instruction to exit if the price drops too low. The reward-to-risk ratio is 2, which compares the potential gain to the potential loss.
What could make the idea fail
The setup might not work if the price continues to drop below the stop-loss level of 22.4852. Even though the RSI shows the stock was oversold, prices can keep falling for a long time before they turn around.

Overall context: Caution (High confidence)
HDFC Bank is navigating a complex period marked by significant legal and financial headwinds. While the bank reported quarterly earnings that exceeded analyst estimates and is actively repairing its post-merger balance sheet by reducing high-cost borrowings, it faces intense scrutiny. Three US law firms are investigating allegations regarding undisclosed payments to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation. Additionally, the stock has recently hit 52-week lows, underperforming broader market indices, and has experienced consecutive sessions of decline. While management is working to lower funding costs through deposit growth, legal investigations and declining Net Interest Margins have pressured investor sentiment.
