What is Price Action ? Beginners Guide in Easy Steps Part -2In our previous discussion, we delved into the fundamental techniques of reading a price chart with key price action strategies. This time, we're set to expand our understanding even further. By the end of this article, you'll have a fresh perspective on analyzing charts and interpreting price movements, empowering you with deeper insights and more confident trading decisions. 1. Identify the direction of trend with the help of price action candlesticks a.)Strong Uptrend: Green candlesticks moving upwards continuously. Indicates strong buying pressure with no selling pressure. b.)Uptrend with Deep Retracement: Green candlesticks with some pullbacks. Sellers present, causing temporary price dips. c.)Indecisive Market: Alternating red and green candlesticks. No clear market direction, prices moving up and down without strong conviction. d.)Tight Range Before Breakout: Small red and green candlesticks within a tight range. Usually occurs before a significant breakout. e.)Weak Uptrend with Choppy Price Action: Alternating red and green candlesticks, choppy pattern. Indicates weak buying pressure and strong selling presence. f.)Healthy Uptrend: Green candlesticks with few red ones. Strong buying pressure with minimal selling, indicating a solid upward trend. 2. Importance of Wicks and the closing of candle Wick and a Doji Candle: Indicates early signs of buyers attempting to stop the price decline, If you observe closely there is a wick in previous candle also, on the break of high of the candle price hit trendline resistance and fallen again. Second Wick at the Same Zone: Sellers tried to push the price down again, but buyers stopped it, forming a bullish pin bar. First wick formed a demand zone but the second wick confirmed of buyers activity. After Some Fight, Buyers Win: Buyers managed to push the price up From the range, kicking out the sellers. More Lower Wicks: Indicates both buyers and sellers are active, but buyers are gradually winning, which is bullish. Lower Wick Shows Demand: After a downturn, the lower wick signals demand coming in. Inside Bar with Bigger Upper Wick: Shows bearish bias. The break of the low led to the continuation of the fall. NOTE: Wicks are an early indication of demand or supply presence, but the location of formation will be more important.It would help if you determined whether it's in an uptrend, downtrend, or range. 3. Multiple Candle Rejection A)Exhaustion Gap: At one point, the chart shows a gap up, where the opening price equaled the high of the day. This indicates an exhaustion gap, suggesting potential for a larger correction. Despite this, only a single bar correction occurred initially, showing resilience. B)Brutal Correction: A sharp, one-bar correction is seen, followed by buyers trying to push the prices back up within the same candle. This indicates a strong fight between buyers and sellers. C)Inside Bars and Tight Range: The presence of multiple inside bars with tight ranges and prominent lower wicks signals consolidation and market indecision. This is a period where neither buyers nor sellers dominate, often preceding a significant move. D)Break and Continuation: Eventually, the price breaks and closes above the range of the inside bars. This breakout triggers a continuation of the uptrend, evidenced by the subsequent series of green candles and higher prices. #Understanding Candlestick Wicks: Wicks/Tails: These are crucial as they indicate early signs of demand or supply. In this chart, the lower wicks suggest that buyers are stepping in at lower prices, even during pullbacks, showing underlying strength. 4.Importance of Close Of Candle If you wait for close of the Candle beyond support or resistance zone then it can help you take high-probability entries only and avoid fake breakouts. Fake breakout means when the price breaks the support or resistance area but it failed to sustain beyond that area and quickly comes inside the range. That's all for today's idea I hope you have gained good insights into how to read market direction with the help of candlesticks structure If you read market direction in consideration with the factors explained in Part 1 then the outcomes will be Great.

Getting Started with Technical AnalysisInvesting in the stock market can be both exciting and overwhelming. There are so many stocks and strategies are there that make it hard to decide where to invest. That’s where technical analysis comes in. It’s the study of market data to find patterns, trends, and potential opportunities. To get started with technical analysis, you need to first understand what exactly technical analysis is. Technical Analysis: Technical analysis may sound complex, but it’s actually quite easy. In simple terms, it’s a method of assessing stock or any tradeable asset by studying statistics based on market activity, like past prices and volume. Technical analysts believe that by analysing charts and other indicators, they can identify and predict market trends for any security. Essentially, they study a stock’s trading history to measure its potential for future price changes. Let’s understand this with an example: Let’s make a comparison to weather forecasting. Can we predict the weather for the future? Yes. Is the weather forecast always 100% accurate? No. Weather forecasts are applicable over a period of time rather than being precise second by second. Similarly, just like meteorologists use past weather data and atmospheric patterns to forecast future weather conditions, technical analysts utilize past price and volume data to predict future stock prices. How You Can Start Technical Analysis of Stocks? To begin with technical analysis, the first step is selecting a security for analysis. This can include stocks, commodities, currency pairs, or any other tradable financial instrument available on an exchange. Once you have decided on the security, the next step involves studying its price and volume data. A widely used tool in technical analysis is the price chart. It provides a visual display of a security’s price changes over time. Price charts come in various types, with the candlestick chart being the most popular and commonly used option. Candlestick charts offer wide information in a single platform. Each candlestick represents a specific time period, like a day or an hour. The body of the candlestick indicates the security’s opening and closing prices within that timeframe, while the wicks or shadows represent the highest and lowest prices recorded during that period. By studying these candlesticks, traders can identify patterns and trends in the price movements of the stock. Along with price charts, traders use various technical indicators to analyse securities. These indicators are mathematical calculations derived from the price and volume data of a security. They give signals that confirm trends, identify potential buy or sell signals , and provide additional information to traders. Some popular and commonly used technical indicators are moving averages , relative strength index (RSI) , and Bollinger Bands , among others. These indicators help traders to judge market conditions, identify potential price reversals or trends, and help to take trading decisions. Dos and Don’ts to follow when starting Technical Analysis: Do’s: A Volume is an important tool for technical analysis. High trading volume suggests a strong trend, while low volume can indicate a lack of buyers and sellers in security. Traders mostly confirm trends and signals by using multiple indicators. With one or more than one indicators, a trader can become more confident in a potential trade. This approach allows for a thorough analysis of different aspects of the market, increasing the chances of making informed trading decisions. One of the most important tips to remember is that while technical analysis can assist in identifying potential trades, practising effective risk management is essential. Risk Management involves implementing stop-loss orders and ensuring that you don’t risk more than a certain percentage of your portfolio on any single trade. With the help of these risk management techniques, you can protect your investments and maintain a disciplined approach to trading. As the price of stocks is changing every time, you need to stay updated with news and investments that can impact your investment. Don’ts: While technical analysis can look complex, it’s important to avoid difficult things. Stick to the fundamental principles and strategies, and you should be on the right track. Sometimes, simplicity is the key to effective analysis and decision-making in the stock market. While technical analysis is important, it shouldn’t be the only way to evaluate securities. It’s also important to consider fundamental analysis , which involves looking at a company’s financial statements and economic factors. By using both technical and fundamental analysis, investors can get a better overall understanding of the securities they are analysing. Trading can involve emotional decisions, but it’s important to let no emotions cloud your judgment. Stick to your trading strategy and avoid making impulsive trades driven by fear or greed. By maintaining discipline and adhering to your predetermined plan, you can make more rational and informed trading decisions. When you’re taking potential trades, it’s important to think about the risk-reward ratio . This means comparing the potential profit with the potential loss. With a good risk-to-reward ratio, you can make smarter decisions and aim for a good balance between R:R in your trading strategy. Conclusion: Technical analysis is a great tool for traders and aspiring investors in the Indian stock market. It helps identify potential opportunities by analysing price and volume data, allowing traders to recognize patterns and trends. However, it’s important to follow certain guidelines when using this approach. With the help of candlestick patterns , indicators, risk management tools, and fundamental analysis traders can achieve their financial goals.

A-Z About HEIKEN ASHI CandlesticksHEIKEN ASHI Strategy: 1.INTRODUCTION (WHY HEIKEN ASHI CANDESTICKS) Often trading on the trend gets difficult due to price action that makes trader exit trades early. (USELESS NOISE FORMED BY TRADITIONAL CANDLES) This mainly happens due to impact of one single candle or bar on Trader’s ability to hold positions. Through Heiken Ashi Candles , this problem is largely solved as Price Trend is clearly represented through these. LOOK at the difference between TRADITIONAL and HEIKEN-ASHI Candlesticks below: A) TRADITIONAL candlestick with a lot of noise during uptrend and downtrend which confuses most of the traders and forces them to exit early B) HEIKEN-ASHI with a smooth buttery experience while trading: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.TYPES OF CANDLES Let us now come to the types of Heiken Ashi candles. In this chart, I have done 5 markings to explain the various types of candles in Heiken Ashi. a)The wide range yellow/green candles indicates good momentum and shows the stock shall be bullish for some more days unless and until there are signs of reversals b)The small body green/yellow candles represents the continuation of the trend although they show that the stock is not very bullish but is bullish c)SPINNING TOP- is formed when the body of the candle is very small (NOT A DOJI) and there is wick equal on both upper and lower side. d)The wide range red candles shows weakness in the stock e)INDECISIVE Candles- are formed when it is neither of the above candles (small body and irregular size wicks on up and down side) Always remember, size of body, shadows, and range of candle determines whether it Is bullish, bearish or neutral candle Do read futhur to understand -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) KEY RULES to follow There are broadly 5 rules that need to be followed when trading with Heiken Ashi Candles. DO HAVE A LOOK AT THE CANDLES SIMULTANEOUSLY Rule 1 – Green candles with no lower shadows indicate a strong uptrend: When you spot these on charts, be in the trade and don’t think about profit booking. You might want to add to your long position and exit short positions. Rule 2 – Candles with a small body with upper and lower shadows indicate trend change: These are indecision candles and require more confirmation. Rule 3 – Red/Black candles with no upper shadow indicates strong a downtrend: When you spot these on charts, be in the trade and don’t think about profit booking. You might want to add to your short position and exit long positions Rule 4 – Candles with long lower shadows represent Buying interest. Always take note of these candles and assess price action after you spot these candles. Rule 5 – Candles with long upper shadows represent selling interest and be cautious with existing long positions if you spot such Candles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) INITIATION AND CONTINUATION: You just need to know 2 types in trend analysis 1.INITIATION CANDLE 2.CONTUATION CANDLES 1.Initiation candle is one that sets the tone of Trend and defines underlying momentum for price. This is why Initiation candles are most important in Trend Analysis and Price action trading. 2.Continuation candles are ones that reaffirm the direction of trend and are useful to increase positions in the direction of trend. FREE TIP: When you begin price trend analysis, always look for initiation Heiken Ashi candles and then look for continuation candles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) IDENTIFYING STRONG TRENDS: In the chart below, let us see how a strong Up/Down trend looks like. In Heiken Ashi, we should be measuring strength of move based on Initiation Candles (Candles that represent strong trend). If you look at the chart, all markings that I have done are that of Strong Initiation candles on the downside and upside (BUY/SELL) When such candles are visible on the chart, invariably Price tends to move up/low. Always keep range of Candle in mind. It should be wide with no upper/lower shadows for uptrend and downtrend respectively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) COMMON MISTAKES Most Common mistake when using Heiken Ashi Candles is to Enter or Exit Trades based on the color of Candle. Most beginners commit this mistake and this should be avoided at all times. Whether it is Heiken Ashi Candles or any other charting method, you need to understand the overall Market Trend and Context. Without this, you will find it difficult to Trade successfully over a longer period of time.(PRICE ACTION IS THE KING) This is just an additional filter like an indicator and should not be treated as the only parameter in your strategy...If trading was so easy then 90% wouldn't have lost their money in trading...Trading is like cooking you need to add the right ingredients in the right amount to taste a dish good.A pinch of salt less can ruin the entire hardword behind making the dish...Similar is trading...Will make a tutorial on risk management as well...Do let me know if you are interested only then it would be wise for me to proceed ahead. One of the main things you have to do is to analyze which candles contribute to Trend and which do not. This effective way of filtering out relevant candles from non relevant one’s is what will help you succeed with Heiken Ashi Candles. FREE TIP:(SAVES TIME DO READ) Always divide your Candles into two types; 1.Candles that have impact on Trend 2.Candles that have no impact This way, you will know which one’s to be focussed upon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7)DISADVANTAGES: EVERY + HAS A - ELSE EVERY TRADER WOULD HAVE USED THIS STRATEGY TO MAKE TONS OF MONEY EVERYDAY The one main disadvantage that most traders refer to is that by the time Traders take positions based on Heiken Ashi Candles, the entire move is already over. While there is some merit to this, it is important to note that this mainly applies to short time frame charts. On higher time frame charts (30 Min to Monthly time frame), Heiken Ashi has tremendous benefits and Traders should try and incorporate these in their Trading arsenal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this tutorial as helpful for you to understand some basics of HEIKEN-ASHI candlesticks...There are many other types of candlesticks which have their own importance like RENKO and PnF candlesticks...Do let me know in the comments whether I should make posts on STOCKs that I Trade/EDUCATIONAL posts like this FOLLOW me for many more such content ahead...DO hit the like button...Till then, HAPPY TRADING :)

what is The symmetrical triangle patternThe symmetrical triangle pattern is a technical analysis chart pattern that forms when the price of an asset is moving within a range, with the highs and lows converging towards each other. it is characterized by two trend lines that converge toward each other, forming a triangle. It is confirmed when the price breaks out of the triangle, either above the upper trend line (bullish) or below the lower trend line (bearish). Traders often look for a price target that is equal to the height of the triangle at its widest point, projected in the direction of the breakout. The symmetrical triangle pattern can be a reliable indicator of future price movement, but it should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and market indicators. one can support the work by simply following BACTIFY and sharing the same with their friends all the best and happy trading

dual top pattern explained in simple form The dual top pattern is a popular technical analysis pattern that can signal a potential trend reversal. This pattern is formed when the price of an asset reaches a resistance level twice and fails to break above it. The two peaks of the pattern look like two mountain tops that are approximately equal in height, with a dip or valley in between them. The neckline of the pattern is drawn by connecting the lows between the two peaks. A breakdown below the neckline is considered a sell signal, as it suggests that the price is likely to continue to decline. The dual top pattern is an important tool for traders because it can help to identify potential trend reversals. However, it's important to confirm the pattern with other indicators and analysis before making trading decisions. For example, traders might look for other technical signals such as a bearish divergence or a break below a key support level to confirm the dual top pattern. Additionally, traders may use fundamental analysis to gain insight into the underlying factors that are driving the price movement of the asset. Overall, the dual top pattern is a powerful tool for traders to identify potential trend reversals, but it's important to approach it with caution and to use other analysis techniques to confirm the signal before making trading decisions. In the below example, a newbie too would be able to learn and practice trend reversal using double top pattern Dual top pattern = potential trend reversal. Look for two mountain tops with a valley in between. The resistance level was reached twice but was not broken Draw the neckline by connecting lows between the peaks. A breakdown below the neckline = sell signal. Remember, the dual top pattern can be a powerful tool for traders to identify potential trend reversals, but it's important to confirm with other indicators and analysis before making trading decisions.

Proximal and Distal Line Plotting For Supply and Demand ZonesProximal and Distal lines are important components of any Supply and Demand zone. One needs to plot two horizontal lines to mark Supply and Demand Zones. To know How to draw these lines, you need to understand Supply and Demand Zone formations. Proximity means nearest to the current price, while distal means farthest from the current price. What is the need to draw Proximal and Distal lines on a zone? As a Supply and Demand trader, one needs to know which price point to enter and where to exit. The proximal line is used to define the entry point into a trade, and the Distal line defines the Stopping Point. We place our stop losses slightly beyond the distal lines of the zones. Have a look at the above image Supply zones are located above the current market price and Demand zones are located below the current market price. In the illustration above, CMP is Rs.1668.3 The green-shaded zone below CMP is the Demand zone. It has two horizontal lines one at Rs.1607.65 which is nearer to the current price, and it forms the proximal line, whereas the other horizontal line is at Rs.1588.75 which is far away as compared to Rs.1607.65, so it constitutes the distal line of the demand zone The pink-shaded zone above CMP is the Supply zone. It has two horizontal lines one at Rs.1688 which is nearer to the current price, and it forms the proximal line, whereas the other horizontal line is at Rs.1702.4 which is far away as compared to Rs.1688, so it constitutes the distal line of Supply zone. How to Draw Proximal and Distal Lines for a Demand Zone A Demand zone is a designated area on a chart where Demand exceeds Supply, and there is a high likelihood of having pending Institutional Buy Orders. We look to enter long trades when the price retraces back to the demand zone, in doing so we also participate along with the Institutions which increases the probability of the trade working in our favour. So it's important to correctly identify the Proximal line and Distal line of a Demand Zone. Let u see how to mark the Proximal and Distal line of a Demand Zone Proximal Line Marking For A Demand Zone Irrespective of whether it’s a DBR or RBR Demand zone, the proximal line marking method remains the same. There are multiple ways to mark proximal lines, I will discuss the one that I follow and is widely used. While marking the proximal line we look at only the Base Candles, Proximal line is plotted at the Highest Wick of the base candles. Distal Line Marking For A Demand Zone There is a slight variation while marking distal lines, depending upon whether it’s a DBR or RBR Demand Zone Distal Line For DBR Demand Zone We need to consider all three components, Leg In, Base Candles & Leg Out. The distal line is plotted at the lowest point of the entire formation. Distal Line For RBR Demand Zone We need to ignore the Leg In and focus only on the Base candles and the Leg Out. The distal line is plotted at the lowest point of either the Base candles or the Leg Out, whichever is lower. How to Draw Proximal and Distal Lines for a Supply Zone A Supply zone is a designated area on a chart where Supply exceeds Demand, and there is a high likelihood of having pending Institutional Sell Orders. We look to enter Short trades when the price retraces back to the supply zone, in doing so we also participate along with the Institutions which increases the probability of the trade working on our favour. So it's important to correctly identify the Proximal line and Distal line of a Supply Zone. Let u see how to mark the Proximal and Distal lines of a Supply Zone Proximal Line Marking For A Supply Zone Irrespective of whether it’s an RBD or DBD Supply zone, the proximal line marking method remains the same. There are multiple ways to mark proximal lines, I will discuss the one that I follow and is widely used. While marking the proximal line we look at only the Base Candles, Proximal line is plotted at the Lowest Wick of the base candles. Distal Line Marking For A Supply Zone There is a slight variation while marking distal lines, depending upon whether it’s an RBD or DBD Supply Zone Distal Line For RBD Supply Zone We need to consider all three components, Leg In, Base Candles & Leg Out. Distal line is plotted at the highest point of the entire formation. Distal Line For DBD Supply Zone We need to ignore the Leg In, focus only on the Base candles and the Leg Out. Distal line is plotted at the Highest point of either the Base candles or the Leg Out, whichever is Higher. Conclusion In conclusion, the Proximal and Distal lines are critical components of the Supply and Demand Trading Strategy. Knowing how to properly place them is essential for the correct identification of zones. Supply and Demand Zone formations when combined with other factors like Trend, Location, and Quality attributes of the zone form a very sound rule-based Price Action Trading Strategy.

Rally Base Drop – Supply ZoneUnlike conventional Price Action Analysis, which relies on countless chart patterns, Supply Demand Strategy focuses only on four high-probability price formations. Rally Base Drop (RBD) is one of the four price formations which lay the foundation of the Supply Demand Trading Strategy. Rally Base Drop Pattern RBD is a reversal price pattern, which one can generally locate at market turning points. At areas where uptrends get exhausted and begin a new downward move. RBD occurs when prices have been rising, and peaking, followed by a sharp drop. This indicates that the sellers are now more aggressive and have overwhelmed the buyers to form a Supply Zone. Components of a Rally Base Drop Pattern This formation comprises three parts: 1. Leg-In Candle - Bullish Candle to the left-hand side of the base structure. It need not be an explosive candle. 2. Base Candles - Narrow range small-bodied candles which indicate that orders are potentially being accumulated by the institutions. 3. Leg-Out Candle – Huge Explosive Red candle with a sharp drop in price, which indicates the footprint of Institutional Selling activity. Steps to Identify a Rally Base Drop Pattern 1. Start with the Current Price on the Chart and go from Right to left 2. Look up and left until you find a strong Drop in the Price 3. Identify whether the formation is an RBD 4. Mark the Zone When marking the Zone, we need to watch for freshness and the strength of the Leg-Out Candle. Fresh Supply Zones are those where the price has never retraced after formation, they have the highest probability of having unfilled sell orders. Strong Explosive Red Leg-Out Candle indicates that supply and demand are totally out of balance and institutions have been aggressive sellers at that price zone. Trade Action at a Rally Base Drop Supply Zone RBD pattern is the footprint of Institutional selling activity, formed due to the sheer size of their sell orders. This implies that, when prices retrace back to the area, there is a strong likelihood that there will be a large number of pending sell orders. After identifying the supply zone, we as retail traders must wait for the price to retrace to the zone. The first retracement to the RBD supply zone is a high-probability sell opportunity. We can initiate a short trade on the pullback to the zone and in doing so participate along with the Institutions to the short side. Some past examples: Although RBD is a very powerful supply zone formation, it is highly recommended that one mustn’t trade it in isolation. Combining it with factors like a trend, trend exhaustion and location will improve the odds of the zones working in our favour.

How to trade doji candle like a legendhello everyone, It's been a long that we haven't discussed anything here.. so our today's topic of discussion is how to trade/play with signs similar to Doji/ dragonfly/hanging-man etc so we know the sign very well. we are referring here to the candlestick pattern, where there is some conflict between buyers & sellers & both keep trying to push/pull each other resulting in forming a candle where we usually see a small body candle having wicks on both sides. so our next question is how to trade them.. 1. Trend: before trading such patterns the trend should be known very well. 2. Once we have got the trend then wait for the small body candle. 3. Once we have got the candle, mark the high/low of the prior candle of the doji candle. 4. Wait for the next candle to form after the formation of doji candle. 5. once, the marked candle high/ low is breached on a closing basis you are all set to go! examples shared Example -1 Example-2 Example-3 Example-4 Example-5 Example-6 Example-7 Example-8 Example-9 I have shared multiple examples regarding the same & hope I be able to add some logic also.. Please note time frame must be kept the same while analyzing this setup. I have shared entry & stop-loss levels only. will share stop loss technique in another post Thanks for reading!!

Gap Trading Combined With Supply & Demand ZonesWhat Are Gaps? Gaps are nothing but Price of a Stock moving up and down sharply with no or little trading happening between the previous days close and current days open. Gaps show an ultimate picture of imbalance between supply & demand. Gap formations are due to many fundamental and technical reasons. Most common example, when there is an announcement of company earnings. Gap Up or Gap Down is imminent the next trading day due to positive or negative news. A trader can profit from gaps provided he/she can identify the type of gap and its location with perspective to Institutional Supply & Demand Zones. Gap Trading Strategy using Supply and Demand Zones A lot of traders are fearful of Gaps and see it as a threat & aren’t comfortable carrying positions overnight. However, for a professional Supply Demand Trader, these Gaps aren’t threats on the contrary they provide high probability trading opportunities, when combined with Supply & Demand Zones. Four Gap Structures That We Look At: 1. Inside Gaps 2. Outside gaps 3. Novice Gaps 4. Professional Gaps 1.How to Identify & Trade Inside Gaps? Inside gaps are created when Price Opens between the prior Day’s High and low. Often these gaps fill quickly on the same day. Inside gaps can be mainly used for quick intraday trades, provided they happen at strong supply & demand zones. Gap Up into a strong Supply Zone provides a good short opportunity, whereas Gap Down into a strong Demand Zone presents a good long opportunity. Let’s see an example: 2.How to Identify & Trade Outside Gaps? Outside gaps are created when Price opens beyond the Prior days High and low. These gaps generally do not fill on the same day. They indicate the establishment of a new Trend or the continuation of the existing one. One must wait for quality Supply & Demand Zones to form after the gap and wait for a pullback to join the new move. Let’s see an example: 3.How to Identify & Trade Novice Gaps? When price gaps in the same direction of the current trend, then it is called a Novice Gap. Novice gaps as the name suggests are created by novice trader emotions and are excellent opportunities to find high probability trade setups. Gap Up or Gap Down after extended moves into quality areas of Supply & Demand, offer us high probability Short & Long opportunities respectively. Let’s see an example: 4.How to Identify & Trade Professional Gaps? When price gaps up in the Opposite direction of the current trend, it is called a Professional Gap or a Pro gap. Pro gaps represent a significant imbalance between Supply & Demand. Pro Gaps generally occur after extended moves in one direction, taking the amateur traders completely by surprise. They generally bring about trend change. Pro Gap Down & Pro Gap Up form high probability Supply & Demand Zones. Pull back to these zones provide us with opportunities to enter at trend change points. Let us see with an example:

INSIDE BAR STRATEGYAn “inside bar” pattern is a two-bar price action trading strategy in which the inside bar is smaller and within the high to low range of the prior bar, i.e. the high is lower than the previous bar’s high, and the low is higher than the previous bar’s low. Its relative position can be at the top, the middle or the bottom of the prior bar. So now come to the theory of inside bar of how to take trade is The classic entry for an inside bar signal is to place a buy stop or sell stop at the high or low of the mother bar, and then when price breakouts above or below the mother bar, your entry order is filled. It’s worth noting that these are the ‘classic’ or standard entry and stop loss placements for an inside bar setup, in the end, experienced traders may decide on other entries or stop loss placements as they see fit. Stop loss placement is typically at the opposite end of the mother bar, or it can be placed near the mother bar halfway point (50% level), typically if the mother bar is larger than average. So I am sharing the entry and the Stop loss through the pictures I am sharing below.

One candlestick pattern - The MarubozuHey everyone! In this post, we are going to talk about a candlestick pattern known as Marubozu, along with a few exhibits that may help you solidify your understanding of this pattern. Please remember this is an educational post to help all of our members better understand concepts used in trading or investing. This in no way promotes a particular style of trading! The candlestick charts offer a quick picture into the psychology of buyers and sellers. Before proceeding further, a few things to keep in mind: → A bearish candlestick indicates the opening price of the session being higher than the closing price. → Similarly, a bullish candlestick indicates the opening price of the session being lower than the closing price. → The shadow at the top and bottom represent the high and low for the session. → The size of the real body is indicative of the strength of the trend. What is a Marubozu pattern? A Marubozu is a candlestick with a full real body and no shadows. This solid body indicates a strong trend, be it in any direction. The name Marubozu comes from the Japanese and means "close-cropped", indicating a candle with no shadow. Marubozu can be divided into two types, depending on the bias. ∎ Bullish marubozu ∎ Bearish marubozu A Marubozu can appear anywhere in the chart irrespective of the prior trend; the trading implication remains the same. ⚠️ Please notice the textbook definition of a Marubozu is a candle with no shadows. However, in practice, the ideal setups rarely occur. Hence, there is a little bit of wiggle room on either side. 🟩 Bullish Marubozu → In a bullish Marubozu, the lack of the upper and lower shadow indicates that the low and high are equal to the open and close, respectively. However, there may be some shadows in reality, therefore we must be versatile within limits. → A bullish Marubozu indicates that market participants are willing to buy the stock at any price point throughout the day. As a result, the stock closes near the session's high. → In general, the occurrence of a bullish Marubozu indicates that the sentiment has strongly shifted to the upside and we can see higher prices in the coming sessions. Hence a trader should look for buying opportunities whenever the price pulls back to lower levels. Exhibit 1: Bullish Marubozu Exhibit 2: Bullish Marubozu with subsequent uptrend 🟥 Bearish Marubozu → In a bearish marubozu, the open price is almost equal to the high whereas the session closes near the low price. → A bearish Marubozu indicates a strong bearish sentiment because the market participants are willing to sell the stock at any price point throughout the day. → In general, the occurrence of a bearish Marubozu indicates that the sentiment has strongly shifted to the downside and we can see lower prices in the subsequent sessions. Hence a trader should look for selling opportunities whenever the price pulls back to higher levels. Exhibit 1: Bearish Marubozu Exhibit 2: Bearish Marubozu with subsequent down trend Thanks for reading! Hope this was helpful! See you all next week. 🙂 – Team TradingView Feel free to check us out on Instagram , Telegram , and YouTube for more awesome content! 💘

Some Major Candlestick Pattern Bullish Engulfing: The bullish engulfing pattern is a two-candle reversal pattern. The second candle completely ‘engulfs’ the real body of the first one, without regard to the length of the tail shadows. This pattern appears in a downtrend and is a combination of one dark candle followed by a larger hollow candle. On the second day of the pattern, the price opens lower than the previous low, yet buying pressure pushes the price up to a higher level than the previous high, culminating in an obvious win for the buyers. Bearish Engulfing: A bearish engulfing pattern is a technical chart pattern that signals lower prices to come. The pattern consists of an up (white or green) candlestick followed by a large down (black or red) candlestick that eclipses or "engulfs" the smaller up candle. The pattern can be important because it shows sellers have overtaken the buyers and are pushing the price more aggressively down (down candle) than the buyers were able to push it up (up candle). Tweezer Top: A tweezers top is when two candles occur back to back with very similar highs. A tweezers bottom occurs when two candles, back to back, occur with very similar lows. The pattern is more important when there is a strong shift in momentum between the first candle and the second Tweezer Bottom: A Tweezer Bottom occurs during a downtrend when sellers push prices lower, often ending the session near the lows, but were not able to push the bottom any further. Tweezer Bottoms are considered to be short-term bullish reversal patterns that signal a market bottom Doji: A Doji is a candlestick pattern that looks like a cross as the opening and closing prices are equal or almost the same. The word Doji is of Japanese origin which means blunder or mistake that refers to the rarity of having the open and close price be exactly the same Evening Star: An evening star is a stock-price chart pattern used by technical analysts to detect when a trend is about to reverse. It is a bearish candlestick pattern consisting of three candles: a large white candlestick, a small-bodied candle, and a red candle. Morning Star: An evening star is a stock-price chart pattern used by technical analysts to detect when a trend is about to reverse. It is a bearish candlestick pattern consisting of three candles: a large white candlestick, a small-bodied candle, and a red candle. Hammers: The hammer candlestick is a bullish trading pattern that may indicate that a stock has reached its bottom, and is positioned for trend reversal. Specifically, it indicates that sellers entered the market, pushing the price down, but were later outnumbered by buyers who drove the asset price up. Inverted Hammers: The inverted hammer is a type of candlestick pattern found after a downtrend and is usually taken to be a trend-reversal signal. The inverted hammer looks like an upside-down version of the hammer candlestick pattern, and when it appears in an uptrend is called a shooting star: What Does the Shooting Star Tell You? Shooting stars indicate a potential price top and reversal. The shooting star candle is most effective when it forms after a series of three or more consecutive rising candles with higher highs. Spinning Top: A spinning top is a candlestick pattern that has a short real body that's vertically centered between long upper and lower shadows. The candlestick pattern represents indecision about the future direction of the asset. It means that neither buyers nor sellers could gain the upper hand. Three Black Crows: What Are the Three Black Crows? Three black crows is a phrase used to describe a bearish candlestick pattern that may predict the reversal of an uptrend. Candlestick charts show the day's opening, high, low, and closing prices for a particular security. For stocks moving higher, the candlestick is white or green. Three White Soldiers: Three white soldiers is a bullish candlestick pattern that is used to predict the reversal of the current downtrend in a pricing chart. The pattern consists of three consecutive long-bodied candlesticks that open within the previous candle's real body and a close that exceeds the previous candle's high Three inside up: the pattern is a bullish reversal pattern composed of a large down candle, a smaller up candle contained within the prior candle, and then another up candle that closes above the close of the second candle Three Inside Down: The three inside down pattern is a bearish reversal pattern composed of a large up candle, a smaller down candle contained within the prior candle, and then another down candle that closes below the close of the second candle.
