How to find SL levels using BREAKOUT INDICATORLearn how to determine SL levels using BREAKOUT INDICATOR.
This indicator not only helps in finding BREAKOUT trades but also helps you determine SL levels, target levels and much more. Combining with 44EMA you can take your trading to the next level.
The best part is that it works on any script, be it cryptocurrencies, commodities or indices.
Never take a SL during the first 15 minutes of market opening, as chances of reversal are high and market is very volatile during that time.
Use alerts on Tradingview to know whenever SL hits.

Chapter 4: Trading Fibonacci Levels & Extensions
of the Bull Cycle Fibonacci levels
Tools used:
1. Fibonacci
Time Frame: Weekly
Method:
1. We have got the Bull cycle of 2016-2020 here and we are measuring the moves on Fibonacci Retracement on 2012-2016 cycle.
2. We have got the Bull cycle of 2020-2023 here and we are measuring the moves on Fibonacci Retracement on 2016-2020 cycle.
Cycles within the Cycles:
1. Case 1: Trading Fibonacci Levels & Extensions (2016-20 Bull Cycle)
Dates: 19/12/11 – 2/03/15: We have considered the Fibonacci of Bull cycle with
4531.15 value on 19/12/11 as Level 0 and
9053.15 value on 02/03/15 as Level 1:
On 29/2/16, we got a Bear cycle low of 6825.8 while the 0.5 level was 6792.15, so we got a near perfect 50% retracement on a Bear cycle.
On 5/9/16, we got a High of 8968.7 which was below level 1: 9138.18, and after moving down took support on 26/12/16 around 7893.8 which was near 0.786 levels of 8152.28.
Between, 13/3/17 – 24/4/17 market consolidated around Level 1: 9138.18 and then gave an upward breakout
Again, we could see a consolidation around 1.272 level and finally market created a high around 1.618 levels.
If you check carefully, all major Support, Resistance and range had been around 0.5, 0.786, 1, 1.272 & 1.618 levels.
2. Case 2: Trading Fibonacci Levels & Extensions (2020-23 Bull Cycle)
Similar to case 1 if we consider the 2020-23 Bull cycle, we can find some movement around same levels
If you consider the
Dates: 29/2/16 – 20/01/20: We have considered the Fibonacci of Bull cycle with
6841.18 value on 29/2/16 as Level 0 and
12430.59 value on 20/01/20 as Level 1:
On 24/3/20, we got a Bear cycle low of 7511.1 while the 0.236 level was 8160.26, so we got a near perfect 0.236 retracement on a Bear cycle.
On 8/8/20, we got a support around 0.5 level of the range
Between 20/7/20 – 28/9/20 we got a consolidation around 0.786 level i.e. 11234.38
On 9/11/20,we got a breakout above 1 level i.e. 12430.59
Between, 28/12/20 – 1/2/21 market consolidated around Level 1.272: 13950.8,
Again, we could see a consolidation around 1.618 level between 7/6/21 – 31-7/21
The current consolidation happened around 2 level
If you check carefully, all major Support, Resistance and range had been around 0.5, 0.786, 1, 1.272 & 1.618 levels.
Observations:
If you check the weekly chart on Bull-Bear Cycle with Fibo Levels and Extension, we find Support-Resistance and Reversals around important levels like, 0.236, 0.5, 0.786, 1, 1.272, 1.618, 2, 2.618 levels
Conclusions:
1. Fibonacci retracement can be best used across multiple time frame
Good way to enter in a trending marketWhen every u see a strong trending or trending market so alway enter on PULLBACKS because it protect
Your stoploss from hitting before market move in ur favour
MAKE A RULE IN UR TRADING RULE BOOK THAT IS
(I ALWAY ENTER ON PULLBACKS)
Keep learning from ur stoploss
Understanding patterns - PART 1Patterns have been in use for as long as technical analysis have existed and are working today also, traders all over the world try to find patterns in chart to anticipate the possibility of the next move for any Index or stock. Pattern have a reason for working this greatly because all the patterns have an underlying psychology behind it and all these are driven by none other than the human emotions that lie behind them.
What are patterns?
According to John J Murphy "Price patterns are pictures or formations, which appear on price charts of stocks or commodities, that can be classified into different categories, and have a predictive value."
Putting it simply these are formations of candles which take a special shape when seen together and give you an idea of the future possible move of any script.
Why do patterns work?
Patterns work because they are the depiction of human emotions in the market and clearly shows what the traders in the market want a stock or commodity to do in a particular timeframe, now it must be odd and you may be thinking that how can a simple pattern or movement of the candles can tell you what is going inside the minds of people. Let me give you an idea so that you understand what is it that I mean by reading the minds of the traders using pattern and understanding what they want a particular stock or commodity to do.
The chart that you see above is hindalco which is listed on NSE.
To understand this let me tell you about the white lines you see, these are called trendlines and are made by connecting highs to highs or lows to lows to get an idea of the trend on current ongoing move or to make a pattern.
The pattern you see above is called ascending triangle pattern and is a bullish structure that when gives a breakout the stock or commodity gives a run for the upside.
Now the answer to the the question why ascending triangle pattern is bullish and how we get to anticipate the future movement lies in the human emotion or psychology that made this pattern in the market and it will also explain how you understand the human emotion in the market depicted as pattern.
This ascending triangle pattern is made by joining two line which I have named as trendline 1/resistance & trendline 2/support.
Trendline 1/Resistance shows us that the bears are not willing to let the price go beyond the levels of 470 and are shorting the stock near that price. Bears are wanting the stock to remain below the 470 price level.
Trendline2/Support tells us that the bulls are buying the stock on higher prices again and again that's the reason the trendline is inclined, bulls are wanting the stock to go up.
Now all of this tells us that right now bulls are more aggressive than the bears as bears are not willing to short below the price of 470 but bulls are ready to buy the stock at higher price and are the reason the price keeps surging up.
There comes a time when both the lines meet and there is no buffer space left between buyers and sellers and the price can now only go in single direction now, so bulls being more aggressive breaks the resistance of 470 and the price moves above it. Now there are two things that are going to happen:
1. More buyers will come in to buy as the resistance is broken making the price rally even more.
2.Short positions will have to be covered for, which will yet again make the price move up.
So that is how a mere pattern of a triangle joined by two line made you see the emotions of the traders inside the market and thus anticipate the future movement of price. Now this concept applies to all of the patterns there are in the market, some will be as simple as this one while others being more complex but all of these will make you a better trader letting you anticipate the movement.
This was the end of Part one of this series in which I'll be trying to make you understand patterns and trade more effectively using them.
The Next part will be the two main categories of pattern which will be in more depth and will actually help you anticipate the prices and add these pattern into your trading style.
If you have read it far enough so please give it a like and do follow me for the next part which I'll try to drop on the next weekend.

Chapter 3:
Bull Cycle: how to identify prior phase,
The Bull Cycle,
How to trade the Bull cycle.
Tools used:
1. Fibonacci
2. Relative Strength Index (RSI) (36)
3. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) (18, 36, 9)
4. Moving Average (MA) (36)
Time Frame: Daily
Method:
1. Bullish Divergence & Falling Wedge (or Consolidation/Accumulation) for identification of uptrend along with Fibonacci
2. Bullish Divergence for Uptrend along with Fibonacci + Trendline Breakout
Cycles within the Cycles:
1. Phase 1: Bullish Divergence
Dates: 13/03/20 – 24/03/20: Pre-Phase of Bull Cycle
We have seen in previous chapter that there was a bullish divergence at the end of 2008-09 Bull- Bear Cycle. Again it’s not necessary that we see a clear visible Divergence for a long period of 4-5 months like during 2008-09 cycle. It can also be for a short period like for 3-5 days also.
In 2020, we continue with our Bear trend, and then from 2/01/20 to 12/03/20, we identify a Bullish divergence in Daily Chart. On 13/03/20 RSI(36) is 25.56 while on 19/03/20 RSI(36) is 22.69, and on 23/03/20 RSI(36) is 24.16 over a period of this 12-14 days, we identify a sharp increase in RSI (of around 3-4 points in terms of units), while the price is still creating Lower Highs (LH) & Lower Lows (LL) patterns these difference of Price moving downwards while Indicators moving in upward direction is called as Bullish Divergence.
Falling Wedge: The price typically follows a pattern where it is moving downwards but with small and limited lows then the previous (swings) ones, the length of the swings are reduced which can be identified from the falling wedge. (Falling Wedge: an inclined line less than 45degree, where the price touches the bottomline of the wedge and starts moving upwards again)
These Indicators/ Oscillators only give us Signals, while we can start getting confirmation from Fibonacci retracement, where price starts creating Higher High (LH) & Higher Lows (LL) after the 1st Range formation (check 1st Fibo with low of 7511.1 on 24/03/20 and High of 9038.9 on 27/2/20), we get a 50% retracement. The best part is to terminate your short calls if we don’t move and sustain below these 50% retracement.
There are other methods too like trailing your SL to previous Highs, or Fibonacci retracements.
Bullish Divergence in Daily charts are strong and should be taken very seriously, if we are in Short calls we should keep on trailing our SL to previous Highs/ trail SL after the High or wait for completion of Range, then trail your SL to High, and further trail SL to 0.5 level or 0.236 level of range thereafter. Idea is to keep maximum profits in your pocket and get ourselves prepared for the Bull Trend.
2. Phase 2: Start of Bull Phase
Dates: 24/03/20 – 18/05/20: Start of Bull Cycle:
At the start of Bull Cycle, Price, RSI & MACD are moving in same upward direction, i.e. with every upward movement in price, RSI & MACD are also moving upwards. We can see continuous Higher High (HH), Higher Low (HL) patterns in the Bull Market. The confirmation of getting into Long Bull call signal is important.
Signal: RSI & MACD are moving in upward direction in tandem with Price after the Low of Bear cycle
Confirmation to get into Long Calls for Bull Trend: The best part is to get into buying streak in Long calls is when we start moving above the 50% retracement in Daily. We apply the same method as seen in Chapter 1 & 2, we draw a range from Low of 7511.1 (Level 0) on 24/3/20 to High of 9038.9 (Level 1) on 27/03/20 and wait for a retracement upto the 0.5 level or range, we can get into smaller time frame and look for intraday/15 minutes price action where we get a signal on Fibonacci for an Entry or get an Entry once the market starts moving above 0.5 level with small SL we can enter into a trade as per price action. (We will work on detailing again in coming Chapters with smaller time frames, currently we moved from chapter 1: monthly time frame to Chapter 2, 3 & 4 Daily Time frame)
(On 1/4/20 & 2/4/20 price closed below 50% level and on 7/4/20, it started moving above and also closed above 50% level of the range).
After moving above 50% level, price further moves above 0.786/ 1 levels and hits a target of 1.272/ 1.618. This completes formation of the 1st leg {(0-1 range), (reversal to 0.236/0.5 levels) & (extension to 1.272/1.618) of daily chart in total is the 1st leg as called as Unit of Technical analysis}.
Market may give a 50% retracement after completion of this 1st leg
Always remember that after completion of 1st leg, market gives a 50% retracement or a small reversal, these short reversals at regular levels signifies a strong uptrend. These small reversals are again as per Unit of Technical Analysis pattern.
The Downward trendline of Bear Cycle is also broken during the Bull phase yet another confirmation of Bull Trend.
Trendline: From the market high of 20/2/20 to next lower high of 5/3/20, the line joining these 2 points will be our 1st trendline, please remember, there can be slight change in trendline or formation of new trendline after a period of time.
The trendline breakout is generally followed by back-testing (after breakout with good bullish candle/s): (marked with highlighted portion in yellow)
a. 17/4/20 & 20/4/20 breakout from Trendline
b. 21/4/20 backtesting of Trendline
c. 22/04/20 further upmove of bullish uptrend and again breaking the previous high of 20/4/20 and market started moving up again. (That’s how the fight between Bulls & Bears goes on) subsequently we keep on creating Higher High (HH), Higher Low (HL) pattern and the uptrend continues.
3. Phase 3: Bull Trend continuation
Continuation of Uptrend
The uptrend is continued by forming new Higher Highs (HH) and Higher lows (HL),
After completion of the 1st leg, market had given a 50% retracement (Refer Fibo 2 on right)
Important thing is to look for patterns creating an uptrend, followed by Bullish Divergence and most important Price moving and sustaining above 50% level. If price doesn’t sustain the 50% level/ 0.236 level, we are in reversal.
These is the most important aspect that we saw in Chapter 1, where Bull Cycle follows a pattern of creating a Range from Low (0) to High (1) and Price taking a support at 50% levels (0.5 level of the range) or 0.236 level of the range.
There can be small reversals seen during the cycles, these maybe followed as per Fibonacci levels (will be covered in Chapter 4: Trading Fibonacci Levels of the Bull cycle) or ever as per Gann 90/120 days cycle for High’s and lows, here knowing the start point is very crucial.
Even if we can make out from the chart later on that, the price was the lowest on 24/03/20 of 7511.1, the real test is studying the market after 24/03/20 and finding out when we can expect a reversal and catch the trend during the time period. After the market has completed a downtrend, that marks the start of Bull Phase. (Remember, during live trading, we are not sure what will happen next but trade on the basis of price action, signals, indicators and probabilities)
We can also refer to 2008-09 bull trend formation in Chapter 2, which will again give an idea of the consolidation formed during the Bull cycle.
Subsequently, we see channel breakout, backtesting and price making further HH-HL pattern.
Observations:
The price movement during the Bull phase is systematic and moves in phases as described above,
Identification of uptrend can be best identified with Bullish divergence and confirmation with price action in the form of Fibonacci Retracement and vive-versa for Bullish Divergence.
For continuation of trend, Price, MA, RSI & MACD are moving is tandem.
Conclusions:
1. Fibonacci retracement can be best used along with RSI & MACD.
2. We can identify signals when small Fibonacci (in 15/30/hourly charts) gives retracement @ 0.236/0.5 levels and Long Buy signal for Weekly/ Monthly calls with 50% Fibonacci levels are described above.
3. Reversal patterns can be best identified with Fibonacci when Higher-High :Higher-Low patterns are formed.

How good are staggered Investments?HOW GOOD ARE STAGGERED INVESTMENTS?
BACKGROUND
We all know the catchy word “SIP” which stands for Systematic Investment Plan. This may well be the most frequently used word in the Mutual Fund business and for savings as well as investments in general. And there is nothing wrong about it as a large retail investor base would not be able to invest in various avenues of investment in a lump sum manner unless they receive a bumper or out of the ordinary windfall gains.
INTENT
The intent of this post is to introduce the readers to a variant of the SIP which I recently experimented with in the months of Nov - Dec 2021. As mentioned in the earlier para, I received an out of the ordinary large amount in Nov 2021 and I was exploring the avenues for placing it such that I do not risk more and yet am able to get a modest return. The aim was to protect the capital and not earn index beating returns.
WHAT DID I DO
During the course of my weekly analysis, I analyze the Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty scrips in particular using monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes and also several other scrips that form part of my watchlist. While doing so, I realized that there were several scrips that were at a good distance from their swing high which in many cases were the ATH levels when Nifty had hit 18604. The retracements were very significant so I thought why not make small investments in some of the scrips that I had identified.
At that time, I also decided to experiment with staggered or phase-wise but not SIP type of investments in these shares. Beginning 8-11-21, I started the process of such investments and between then and now, I have made 6 such investments. I ensured that I did not blindly add to the losers but had a basis in my mind for the positional trades.
During Nov 2021, Nifty made a low of 16782 and during Dec 2021, Nifty made a low of 16410. On 5-1-22, at the time of writing this post, Nifty is at 17837. This is a good 1427 points above the Dec 21 lows and is now up 8.7% which is a great ROI in 2 months. However, I just reviewed the status of these investments and they have at an aggregate level gone up by 6.36%.
The highest ROI so far is in Mirza Intl @ 68.88%.
The lowest ROI so far is in Tata Consumer @ -10.83%.
CONCLUSION
Obviously, I have no issues with the highest ROI scrip. Neither do I have an issue with the lowest ROI scrip as I have not added to the losing scrip even at lower levels as I did not want to increase the exposure.
My expectations from these unexpected tranches of investments are not much so I am quite happy to receive a 6% gain as of now. I have not beaten the Nifty ETF but that was never the objective.
Many of the scrips where I have invested in the “staggered basket” are those where I would not have ordinarily invested as my universe of investible scrips is limited. So this has helped me know the unknowns as well and that scrip has given the highest ROI!
I am still sitting on some funds out of this lump sum so I can add to the position at any available opportunity even though the indices are at much higher level than what they were in the previous months.
I can move the entire amount out of equity and place them in a Debt Fund and bring it back in when the market / scrips are at attractive levels. This is the approach that I would prefer the most though I am undecided on the course of action for now.
My live experiment with the “staggered” form of investing in my view has been a good one so far and I am satisfied with the outcome. In fact, it is one of the ways to spread the risk and learn to identify good scrips at attractive price levels using technical and or fundamental analysis since the view is positional to long term.
I hope the above helps you know how I prefer to trade the markets and keep exploring the opportunities available in the market to make incremental returns. This post has been shared for educational and informational purposes only.
I welcome your thoughts and insights in case you have also experimented with such/similar way of trading/investing.
Happy Trading/Investing,

Real Time example - TRIPLE ZIGZAG (Bullish)Let's talk about each waves of Triple Zigzag:
Wave W (5-3-5) impulsive: ((a)) = ((b)) at 17709 which is close actual low 17613. Its a sharp zigzag.
Wave 1X corrective: Wave ((b)) 3-3-5, Running Correction which is little complex.
Wave Y (5-3-5) sharp: ((a)) = 0.786 ((b)) at 16824 which, is very near actual low as 16782
Our first question is, What is the Zigzag?
In chart, a, b and c is zigzag which very easy to understand by picture.
Its really easy to understand this wave counting if you read just below basic rules and Characteristics of Zigzags. The main question, What is going on in nifty? This Triple Zigzag is bullish pattern. Really market is follow this pattern? - Wait and Watch...
Characteristics of Zigzags:
— labeled a-b-c
— subdivide 5-3-5
— typically occur in wave 2 position
— ‘b’ wave does not approach ‘a’ wave origin
— ‘c’ wave ends beyond ‘a’ wave extreme
— belong to ‘sharp'
Rules:
- Wave A always subdivides into an impulse or leading diagonal.
-Wave A always subdivides into an impulse or leading diagonal.
- Wave B always subdivides into a zigzag, flat, triangle or combination.
- Wave C always subdivides into an impulse or diagonal triangle.
We can use channel for zigzag. The Wave C often ends upon reaching the extreme of the channel.
How to profit from High tight flag pattern
The high tight flag chart pattern is an extremely bullish formation.
It is formed once a stock rises sharply by 50-100% within a few weeks or 1-3 months.
After that stock pullback is small i.e. 25-30%
In the next step the price tightens up i.e. small candles or less volatility in the price
Finally, the stock breaks out with heavy volume
The stop can be low on that day. Once the stock breaks out trail your stop loss to 10-20 SMA.
This setup can be highly profitable for the traders.
I found this setup for TCI and it worked as expected.
Hope you like it.
Why should you take BTST trades?Are you confused as to how BTST trades work? Firstly, BTST trades simply mean "Buy Today and Sell Tomorrow." That is, you simply buy a particular stock today and exit it tomorrow. I would like to clarify that every broker allows you to take BTST trades and there are no extra charges for executing such trades. Like intraday and swing trading, it is just one of the styles of trading that is suitable for a lot of traders.
Also, I'll be introducing you to a new indicator that I have coded myself and will show you how it can be used to find breakout trades on any stock. So please comment on the stocks below and I will analyze them in the follow up video.
Now why do I prefer BTST over swing trades? The primary reason is that I have observed that 90% of the stocks give most of the movement in just 1-2 days and the rest of the time they either consolidate or fall.
Also, in swing trades, it is very difficult to determine how long we should hold a particular stock, but with BTST trades, it gets easier.
IN SHORT BTST TRADES ARE FRESH BREAKOUTS EVERYDAY WITH MAXIMUM PROBABILITY OF RETURNS
You must also see this weird line on every stock. It is actually the indicator that I have coded that helps us figure out the breakout trades. In the next video, I will be analyzing charts using this indicator and teach you how you can draw important price levels using it.
So don't forget to comment on the stocks you need me to cover in the next video.
PART 4 : Risk ManagementThe majority of short-term trading results are just random. In the long term the money ends up with those that can trade and manage risk.
Why Risk Management is Important?
People who don’t follow Risk Management they can blowout their account easily.
For instance, they are taking 20 % risk of trading capital, then only 5 wrong trade can blow their account.
The 1 % Rule
Let’s say you have 10,000 rs in your account and as per 1% rule you can lose only 100 rs per trade.
For example, if you take 10 trade with 1:2 Risk Reward ratio and having winning percentage of 50 % then your P&L will be look like this.
1st trade: +200
2nd trade: +200
3rd trade: -100
4th trade: +200
5th trade: +200
6th trade: +200
7th trade: -100
8th trade: -100
9th trade: -100
10th trade: -100
Total P&L: +500
At the end of the day, you will take money in your account with proper risk reward ratio and money management.
Position Size Calculation:
Let’s say you want to long Reliance and having Stop Loss of 5rs with trading capital is 10,000 rs. So, Formula is
Position Size = (1% of Trading Capital) / (Stop Loss)
For our trade example, Position Size is = 100/5 = 20 Qty
Hence, we required 20 Qty to trade Reliance with 100 rs as a stop loss.
To conclude this post, trader should have (Min Loss, Max Profit, Breakeven). Whereas, Max Loss should be avoided to remain in trading career for long term.
Please check my Fibo Trading Strategy post to know more about Stop loss, I will link with this post.
Island Reversal candlestick pattern Dow has created Island reversal Candle stick pattern on its daily charts. This pattern suggest that the down trend will continue and bulls are trapped. As mentioned in the previous tutorials, 34100 is extremely crucial level for Dow . Closing below this may form a head and shoulder trend reversal pattern which will be much more worse than this pattern.
Closing above 35250 will make this pattern void.
PART 3 : Candlestick Pattern
Hello Traders, in this post I will be talking about our entry signal which we will use in our strategy.
Most of us already know about candlestick pattern but we don’t apply in proper manner. Firstly, we should use candlestick pattern in Support and Resistance or Trendlines that’s where it provides good entry point. Secondly, size of candle is important compared to previous candles because small size candlestick pattern is having less strength compared to big size candlestick pattern.
How to read candlestick without Memorizing.
Size of Candlestick
Bullish Candlestick Pattern
Hammer
Bullish Engulfing
Piercing Pattern
Morning Star
Bearish Candlestick Pattern
Shooting Star
Bearish Engulfing
Dark Cloud Cover
Evening Star
PART 2 : Support and Resistance, Complete concept with examplesSupport and Resistance
Hello Traders, I will be discussing about Support and Resistance area in this part, which is backbone of Price Action trading.
What is Resistance area?
Resistance is a horizontal area on a chart. Where price experience selling pressure and tends to move down.
What is Support area?
Support is a horizontal area on a chart. Where price experience buying pressure and tends to move up.
Why do we need Support and Resistance?
Support and Resistance area often helps to set Target, Entry and Stop loss.
Guidelines for Drawing Support and Resistance:
For the same chart if you ask 5 traders to draw support and resistance area, you will get 5 different result. So, what are the important things to consider?
I prefer drawing horizontal line instead rectangle to make chart look clean and easy to understand.
Use Higher Time frame to draw Support and resistance area. For Instance, If you trade on 5 min chart then use 15 min chart to draw horizontal line. However, if you prefer 15 min then use 1H or 4H.
Draw Horizontal Line which shows multiple touches. While, this line act as great support and resistance area compare to few touches which was due to volatility.
Things to know:
The more times support or resistance are tested in a short period of time, the weaker they become.
So, what’s the logic behind this? One of the reasons is due to Institutional Traders prefer limit order on these areas, so whenever market touches the price, the limit order is filled only some quantity and the remaining quantity is filled after price comes to the same level. Once all orders are filled completely, there is no buying pressure and thus it falls significantly.
When the price breaks support, it could become resistance and vice versa.
There are 3 possible reason why this happens?
Closing losing trade on breakeven. For example, let’s say you took Buying position on the support area and price went opposite direction and you decided to exit on breakeven instead of taking red. Thus, it creates an extra selling pressure.
Traders who missed breakout move. For instance, you missed the breakout and you decided to enter only when price retrace back to get a better entry point. So, this also create a selling pressure and leads to resistance area.
Traders who choose to enter retest levels. This is a entry strategy which many traders use.
There are several way to find Support and Resistance area:
Using EMA (9, 20, 50, 100, 200) are widely used to identify support and resistance area. For my trading I prefer 9 EMA in Trending market, 50 EMA for buying Dips and 200 EMA for ultimate support.
Using Trend Line, Same logic as support and resistance area, if there are multiple touches in Trendline then probability is high that there will be Buying/ Selling pressure.
Using Channel: this is useful when market is slightly up trend and downtrend as during that time market mostly moves in zig zag way and channel works perfectly.
Ok so in next post we will be discussing our Entry Signal and we will connect all 3 PART to decide buying or selling.
Summary
Support is a horizontal area on your chart where potential buying pressure could come in and push the price higher.
Resistance is a horizontal area on your charts where selling pressure could come in and push the price lower.

Head and Shoulder in Bank NIFTY!This is analysis is for educational purpose only!
Since many weeks bank nifty is under performing in the market and today it has created Head and Shoulder Trend Reversal Pattern on its daily charts. By the huge structure of this head and shoulder we can expect a huge fall of 5900 points. Yes! 5900 POINTS. If Bank Nifty treads below 35300 you can initiate a sell position in Bank nifty. My target is around 29000 - 30000. Closing above 36150 on Monday (or any other day next week) will make this pattern invalid.
