NSE Intraday Candidates — Thu 1 Oct 2026
Levels planned from Wed 30 Sep 2026 EOD only (not live)
1) Confirmation — data used
- Session bar date: Wed 30 Sep 2026 (Yahoo Finance India
.NS/^NSEIdaily + 15m bars viascripts/eod_tech.py; Google Finance DRREDDY:NSE close ₹1,232.70 aligns with Yahoo ₹1,233.00 / Moneycontrol last ₹1,233). - Index context: Nifty 50 closed 22,620.45 (−0.42% / −95.75 from Tue 22,716.20). Open 22,665 (−0.23% gap vs prior close) — not a sharp gap-lower skip day. 20-DMA ~23,343.55 (falling); 50-DMA ~23,901.58 (falling); close below both. 20d return ≈ −6.0%.
- Weak market: YES → at most 2 names, and only those clearly beating the index (~+5 rs20_pp or more). Prefer fewer over forcing a second.
- Technicals / noise:
intraday/data/2026-10-01/eod_tech.json(merged scan batches; nostaleon finalist). - Fundamentals: Screener.in consolidated (ROE/ROCE as tie-breaker / risk note only — universe widened 30 Sep 2026).
- Calendar: Thu 1 Oct 2026 is a normal NSE trading day. Fri 2 Oct 2026 is Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti (closed) — next open after Thu is Mon 5 Oct. Real Stock Trader trades Mon–Thu, so Thu is in scope. (Sources: NSE / Zerodha holiday calendar 2026; Goodreturns / NDTV Profit Oct 2026 notes.)
Market bias for Thu: still risk-off with Nifty below a falling 50-DMA. Only stock-specific RS with clean opening-range-vs-stop. Cancel quickly if the index gaps hard lower into the long weekend.
Only 1 name clears rising 20/50-DMA + RS ≥ ~+5 + RSI band + volume/close-position + noise (or30_vs_stop ≤ 1.0). Secondaries that passed momentum failed Step 3b (no realistic wider-stop target). Empty second slot is intentional.
Wed 30 outcome already logged in skill (EMCURE stopped out, −₹132 net). Running tally after 2 real trades: about +₹2 net. Outcome already in skill log.
2) Ranked CANDIDATES
1) DRREDDY (NSE) — PRIMARY
Quality / risk note (tie-breaker, not a gate): Screener.in consolidated shows last-year ROE ~11.2% / ROCE ~13.0% (soft vs older ≥15% gate); company FY26 release cites RoCE 15.8% and net cash (net debt/equity −0.09). Q1 FY27 profit miss is known; Citi upgrade to Buy / TP ₹1,450 reported 29 Sep (CNBC-TV18 / Ad-hoc). No live governance scandal found. Liquid Nifty 50 / F&O — ₹15k ticket fills easily.
Technical setup (Wed 30 Sep EOD — Yahoo DRREDDY.NS):
O 1,242.20 / H 1,244.60 / L 1,214.20 / C 1,233.00 (−1.51% vs Tue 1,251.90); vol 40.3L vs ~20d avg ~16.4L (~2.46×). Above rising 20-DMA ~1,179.65 and rising 50-DMA ~1,175.44; RSI(14) ~62.7; 20d RS vs Nifty ~+12.0 pp; close_pos 0.62. Structure: orderly pullback inside HH-HL uptrend after Tue’s thrust to H 1,252.80; still well above rising DMAs with heavy volume.
Noise: or30_med 10.10 (n=20); stop distance 12.00 → or30_vs_stop 0.84; atr14_pct 1.94; noise_flag false.
| Field | Level |
|---|---|
| Limit entry | 1,233 |
| Stop (~1%) | 1,221 |
| Target (realistic, fixed after gap) | 1,255 |
| R:R | ~1.83 : 1 (risk ₹12 / reward ₹22) |
| Shares @ ₹150 risk (Step 2: ÷ (entry − (stop − ₹4))) | 9 (notional ~₹11,097) |
| 1% skip (entry × 1.01) | 1,245 |
| 1.5R skip (target − 1.5R) | 1,237 |
| Weak-hold (first 15–30 min) | 1,225 |
Reason + source: Clearest RS name still above rising 20/50 on a weak Nifty tape, with volume confirmation and opening-range noise under the stop (unlike Wed’s EMCURE). Target retests/slightly clears Tue high 1,252.80 with room above bare 1.5R (1,251). Yahoo EOD 30 Sep; Google Finance cross-check; Screener / company FY26 release for funda note; Citi news 29 Sep.
Cancel at open: Gap open ≥1,245 (1% chase); open ≥1,237 leaving <1.5R to fixed target; open ≤1,221; or fails to hold 1,225 early with Nifty still selling.
3) REJECTS (considered)
| Name | Why rejected (1 line) |
|---|---|
| SONACOMS | Tech/RS pass (RS +11.5, rising DMAs) but or30_vs_stop 1.20 / atr% 2.68; wider stop (~820) needs target ≥~851 — above 3mo high 844. Drop. |
| LALPATHLAB | Strong close (cpos 0.95, vol 1.7×, RS +9.1) but or30_vs_stop 1.25 / atr% 3.0 after a 129-pt day; wider stop needs target ≥~2,031 (only thin 16 Sep spike 2,038.6) — chase into long weekend. Drop. |
| LAURUSLABS | Rising DMAs / RS +11.6 but vol 0.84×, mid close_pos, or30_vs_stop 1.32. |
| ZYDUSLIFE | Closed near day low (cpos 0.21); RSI 51.5; noise 1.12 — not a fresh long. |
| EMCURE | Wed stop-out; now below 20-DMA, vol 0.34×, noise 1.34 — do not re-chase. |
| ADANIPORTS | RS +12.9 / vol 1.63× but 50-DMA not rising; borderline noise 1.02. |
| MANKIND | RS +10 / vol 2.78× but 50-DMA not rising; noise 1.04; mid close. |
| AJANTPHARM | RS +9.4 / huge vol but close_pos 0.28, noise 1.26, price ~₹3,621 (tight price_fit). |
| COALINDIA / MOTHERSON | Soft DMA slope and/or RSI / close_pos; not clean weak-market RS longs. |
| Most Nifty large caps | Below falling 20/50 stack with Nifty (banks, IT, autos, metals) — no rising-DMA + RS edge. |

If only one slot → DRREDDY. No secondary listed.
