TradingView Indicator (Pine Script) SSR Equal-Weighted NAV → https://pastebin.com/V8gaXLZC Welcome to The Long and The Short — a show where you can expect an honest take on trading, something you won't hear elsewhere. I'm your host, Sandeep Rao (SEBI Registered Research Analyst – INH000013059). In Part 2 of Swing Trading series, we get into the part guides treat as an afterthought – stock selection. Not a checklist, not a screener dump. A method. Specifically, the Wagner and Pedicelli approach: find the strongest stock inside the strongest sector, and let the money flows do the heavy lifting. I walk through two live examples using NSE sectoral indexes and the TJI sub-sector indexes, and share a custom TradingView script that builds a true equal-weighted basket — because market-cap weighting lies to you about what's actually moving. There's also a case for Renko charts if candlesticks are hiding more than they're showing. One thing worth flagging before you dive in: discretionary doesn't mean no rules. It never has. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 – Introduction 2:35 – What Discretionary Trading Actually Means 3:22 – Why Swing Trading Favours the Long Side 5:02 – The Wagner & Pedicelli Method 6:11 – Two Ways to Track Leading Sectors 7:44 – The Problem with Market-Cap Weighted Indexes & The Equal-Weight Fix 7:41 – Live Example 1: NSE Sectoral Indexes (Nifty Realty) 15:13 – Live Example 2: TJI Sub-Sector Indexes (Microfinance) 19:07 – Recap & What's Next 📹Videos Mentioned: Swing Trading (Part 1) →    • What Is Swing Trading? (And Why Most Begin...   Introduction to Renko Charts →    • Introduction to Renko Charts: Tutorial   Discretionary vs. Systematic Trading →    • Discretionary vs. Systematic Trading: Whic...   📖Books mentioned: The Master Swing Trader → https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09B2YDJTY If you prefer reading, we've written a post about this episode here: https://inthemoneybyzerodha.substack....
