Financial ratios: digesting them togetherI hope that after studying the series of posts about company financial statements, you stopped being afraid of them. I suggest we build on that success and dive into the fascinating world of financial ratios. What is it?
Let's look at the following example. Let's say you open up a company's balance sheet and see that the amount of debt is $100 million. Do you think this is a lot or a little? To me, it's definitely a big deal. But can we say the company has a huge debt based only on how we feel about it? I don't think so.
However, if you find that a company that generates $10 billion in annual revenue has $100 million in debt (i.e. only 1% of revenue), what would you say then? That's objectively small, isn't it?
It turns out that without correlating one indicator with another, we cannot draw any objective conclusion. This correlation is called the Financial Ratio .
The recipe for a normal financial ratio is simple: we take one or two indicators from the financial statements, add some market data, put it all into a formula that includes a division operation - we obtain the financial ratio.
In TradingView you can find a lot of financial ratios in the section Financials -> Statistics .
However, I only use a few financial ratios which give me an idea about the financial situation of the company and its value:
What can you notice when looking at this table?
- Profit and revenue are frequent components of financial ratios because they are universal units of measurement for other reporting components. Just as length can be measured in feet and weight in pounds, a company's debts can be measured in revenues.
- Some financial ratios are ratios, some are percentages, and some are days.
- There are no financial ratios in the table whose data source is the Cash Flow Statement. The fact is that cash flows are rarely used in financial ratios because they can change drastically from quarter to quarter. This is especially true for financial and investment cash flow. That's why I recommend analyzing cash flows separately.
In my next post, I'll break down each financial ratio from this table in detail and explain why I use them specifically. See you soon!

#Nifty #fallingwedge on hourly chartsNifty on hourly timeframe is showing a falling wedge formation with double bottom placed at the bottom of the falling wedge channel and also a very important support placed around 16800-16850 support zone band.
20 DEMA is placed around 17400 currently and as that acts a magnet, it can't be ruled out that price is going to a move around that.
This zone is also currently coinciding with the around 50 to 61.8% pullback zone of fall from 17800 to 16830 levels.
Price is also showing a consolidation in around 250 to 280 points range and a breakout above it would also suggest hourly double bottom range breakout, the range targets are also coinciding with similar target zone as visible from the above two observations.
So, possibility of 17350+ can't be ruled out in short term in Nifty and further assessment of price action can be done from there on.
Happy Trading :)
Finnifty"Trading day, March 22: The global market indicates a neutral start with a bullish nature that may begin with a neutral to slightly gap-up. after that, If the market breaks 17878, we can expect a rally to continue. On the other hand, if the market rejects around 50%, we can expect a minimum of 38% Fib correction. If the correction breaks the 38% Fib level, that's a sign of trend reversal, and it may reach a 78% to swing low."
Types of Alerts on TradingViewHey Everyone! 👋
While alerts have a ton of potential applications when it comes to trading, they are often underutilized because it can take some time and ingenuity to build a system where they can work well.
Alerts can turn the experience of trading from a constant search for ideas - and always feeling behind - into a relaxing job of waiting for your own pre-approved conditions to trigger before taking action. In short, alerts can make you much more well-prepared for the market’s ups and downs. 🔍
In this post, we will look at the two distinct types of alerts available on our platform.
Our alerts are categorized into two types based on resource requirements:
➡ Price alerts
➡ Technical alerts
Each alert type has a separate limit on the number of active alerts based on the subscription. We are happy to announce that we have recently doubled the combined limit for both alert types. 🎉
The current limits for active alerts are as follows:
As shown in the table, the Basic plan includes one price alert and one technical alert, while the Premium plan provides access to a much higher number of alerts. Specifically, users on the Premium plan can enjoy up to 400 price alerts and 400 technical alerts.
Now, you might be wondering about the distinction between price and technical alerts. What sets these two apart? Let's dive into the specifics of each type to gain a better understanding of their unique features and benefits.
💸 Price Alerts
An alert is considered a price alert when the following two conditions are met:
1. Only a symbol is used in the alert (for any type of chart: Bars, Renko, PnF, etc) and a price value
2. One of the following is selected as the trigger condition:
• Crossing
• Crossing Up
• Crossing Down
• Greater Than
• Less Than
For example , the following alert on a candlestick chart would be considered a price alert:
👨💻 Technical alerts
An alert is considered a technical alert if any of the following conditions are met:
1. The alert uses an overlay symbol, indicator, drawing or strategy
2. One of the following is selected as the trigger condition:
• Entering Channel
• Exiting Channel
• Inside Channel
• Outside Channel
• Moving Up
• Moving Down
• Moving Up %
• Moving Down %
For example , the following alert will be considered a technical alert since the trigger condition is set as “Moving up %”.
We hope that this post has provided you with a clearer understanding of the distinct types of alerts available on TradingView. However, if you require further assistance with setting up or managing your alerts, we recommend visiting our Help Center .

Trade Idea on Ambuja Cement with Price action notes In the above chart, the price action goes like this.
1) 50-60% Fibo retracement zone - Stock after a substantial fall getting lots and lots of demand from this zone
2) Its fibo retracement - Used from a swing low to swing High
3) Its called a counter trendline - stock currently getting demand on the extended CT, as a result of breakout and bigger time frame retest
4) It's called a trendline, made from a swing low point to another swing low, extended forward, giving a demand zone
5) Its called a Confluence zone, Candlestick pattern is bullish pressure, lower wick multiple rejection on W time frame and cluster of many other demand areas
6) 3 Yellow lines are potential Target zones from CMP.
The Last Bear Rally is here! Elliotical approach to BTCUSD.Hello Traders!
1. The idea was originally published on 19th Feb and will be attached.
2. We see a break of the 25250 high as we had expected in the previously published idea.
3. BTCUSD tested 161.8% level and fell over 2000 points in a couple of hours. Not a mere resistance, it's much more than that.
4. Some consolidation is expected before we place our sell orders. From when this idea gets published, I expect a move up in the hourly tf above the said red line. Once the market moves beyond the red line and gives a closing in the 1hr tf, we can place sell orders below the Red Line.
5. One thing I've learned the most in trading experience is that when the whole lot is buying like it's a bull run that never ends, we sell. And when the whole lot is absolutely pessimistic about the market, we buy . Obviously, we should back this psychology with fundamental or technical analysis.
Do use proper risk management.
Happy Trading!

Nifty2015-16 vs 2021-23Price has a habit of repeating historical pattern, as patterns are nothing but psychology of thousands of traders watching same charts. Nifty currently is showing very similar price pattern on daily timeframe which it developed in 2015-16, where previously it made a top and then was facing a resistance on falling trendline and sort of made triple/multiple tops. It finally broke out of it by making a double bottom on daily charts and then started another upmove.
This upmove got fizzled out and made a rounding top pattern, and potentially those who were active that time would have faced similar dilemma which traders are currently facing that if this rounding top sort of formation breakdown then what are downside target.
That didn't happened and Nifty made another double bottom around Dec 2016 and post which it rallied and rest is history where dream run of Nifty started and it went on to make a new high until 2020, when Covid crash came.
Similarly, in current chart of 2021-23 session (as of today), Nifty has shown similar price pattern of facing resistance at a falling trendline then breaking out of it via a double bottom formation and making a new high. Post which it has now corrected and is sort of making another rounding top.
Will Nifty survive the swing lows around 16750 or will it break and invite fresh aggressive shorts to trap them and then run away - only time will tell that, but these are just observations with an anticipations that potentially this correction will also get over very soon and we are may be near to bottom formation and then start a fresh up move.
There is no trade recommendation here and these are just observations for learning purpose
Nifty 2015-16
Nifty 2021-23
How to trade the Diamond PatternHey Everyone, as we all have at least traded a Diamond pattern and if not at least we have heard a lot about it but what does this pattern refers to bullish or bearish and in this post we will also learn how to trade it, where to take stoploss, where to take position in it and where and how to identify the target so pls do like and follow.
Some common questions that arise in everyone's mind :-
What is a Diamond Pattern ?
Technical chart patterns such as diamond patterns indicate a possible trend reversal or continuation. Diamond-like patterns are formed by two converging trend lines between which prices oscillate.
Below is a trading strategy for trading diamond patterns:
Identify the pattern: the first step in diamond pattern trading is to identify the pattern on the price chart. Look for a pattern that has two converging trend lines between which prices oscillate.
Determine the direction of the trend: once you have identified the pattern, you need to determine the direction of the trend. If the diamond pattern forms during an uptrend, it is considered a bearish pattern. If it forms during a downtrend, it is a bullish reversal pattern.
Open the trade: Once you have determined the direction of the trend, wait for a breakout from the diamond pattern to confirm the direction of the trade. If the pattern is a bearish reversal pattern, open a short trade as soon as the price breaks below the lower trend line. If the pattern is a bullish reversal pattern, open a long trade when the price breaks above the upper trend line.
Set a stop loss: To limit possible losses, place a stop loss order just below the low of the breakout candle for a long trade and just above the high of the breakout candle for a short trade.
Set the target: The target for the diamond pattern trade should be the height of the diamond pattern, measured from the highest point to the lowest point added to the breakout point. This target can be adjusted according to the trader's risk tolerance and trading style.
Manage the trade: As the trade progresses, monitor the price action and adjust the stop loss and take profit orders accordingly. If the trade moves in your favor, you can take partial profits or tighten your stop loss to lock in profits.
Avoid false breakouts: diamond patterns are prone to false breakouts, where the price breaks out of the pattern but then quickly retraces. To avoid false breakouts, wait until price closes outside the pattern before entering the trade.
Trade with proper risk management: As with any trading strategy, it is important to trade with proper risk management. Risk only a small percentage of your trading account on each individual trade, and do not risk more than you can afford to lose. Always use stop loss orders to limit possible losses.
Here are some additional tips for trading the diamond pattern:
Confirm it with other indicators: although the diamond pattern can be a reliable trading signal, it is always advisable to confirm the signal with other technical indicators such as moving averages, momentum indicators or volume indicators. Look for additional signals that support the direction of the breakout.
Pay attention to multiple time frames: To increase the probability of a successful trade, it is helpful to look for the diamond pattern in multiple time frames. Look for the pattern on daily, weekly and monthly charts and trade only if it is consistent with the larger trend.
Be patient: it may take some time for a diamond pattern to form. So be patient and wait for the pattern to fully develop before entering the trade. Rushing to enter a trade before the pattern has fully formed can lead to false breakouts and unnecessary losses.
Practice with a demo account: Before risking real money, it is always a good idea to practice trading the diamond pattern with a demo account. This way you can test your strategy, refine your entry and exit points and gain confidence in your trading plan before risking real money.
Trading the diamond pattern requires a combination of technical analysis skills and patience. The diamond pattern is a reversal pattern that forms after a long uptrend or downtrend. The pattern looks like a diamond or a kite and indicates a consolidation phase before a possible trend reversal. Traders can use the diamond pattern to identify potential entry and exit points for trading.
In order to trade the diamond pattern, you must first correctly identify the pattern. Once you have identified the pattern, you should look for confirmation of the pattern. This can be done by waiting for a breakout above or below the support or resistance levels of the pattern. Traders can take long positions if the breakout is above the resistance level, or they can take short positions if the breakout is below the support level.
The stop loss should be placed just below the support level of the pattern for long positions and just above the resistance level for short positions. The stop loss should be placed at a level where the trade will be invalidated if the price moves against the expected direction. The target for the trade can be calculated by measuring the distance between the highest and the lowest point of the pattern and projecting this distance from the breakout point. Traders can also use other technical indicators to determine potential price targets.
It is important to note that trading the diamond pattern can be risky, and traders should manage their risks effectively. One way to do this is to use proper risk management techniques, such as position sizing and limiting risk capital. In addition, traders should be patient and wait for confirmation of the pattern before entering a trade. Rushing into a trade without proper analysis and confirmation can result in losses.

The Ultimate Rules for Options Day Trading SuccessNSE:BANKNIFTY
Introduction
If you want to be a successful options day trader, it's not just about having a good strategy. You also need to develop your expertise, seek guidance when needed, and be dedicated to your goals. To do this, you need to be disciplined and follow some options day trading rules. These rules can help you avoid common mistakes and take away the guesswork. Here are some rules that every options day trader should know and if you use them in a disciplined manner then they have been proven to help beginners become winning options day traders.
Some important rules are :-
Rule 1 Setting Realistic Goals for Options Day Trading
One of the most important rules for success in options day trading is to have realistic expectations. Options trading is not a way to get rich quickly, but it can be a profitable career if you put in the time and effort to learn and master the craft. You need to be prepared for a learning curve and be willing to stick with it even when it gets tough. You should also expect losses, as no strategy can guarantee gains all the time. Good money and risk management can help minimize losses.
Rule 2 Start Small to Grow Big
When you're new to day trading options, it's important to be cautious. You're still learning about options trading and the financial market, so take your time. Don't rush into things, even if you're excited. Start by practicing with paper trading and then move on to smaller options positions. Gradually increase your positions as you become more familiar with day trading options. This approach helps you minimize your losses and develop a systematic method for entering positions.
Rule 3 Know your limits
You may be tempted to trade as much as possible to develop a winning monthly average but that strategy will have the opposite effect and land you with a losing average. Remember that every options trader needs careful consideration before that contract is set up. Never overtrade and tie up your Capital.
Overtrading will make money for your broker not you.
Rule 4 Get Prepared Mentally, Physically, and Emotionally for Options Trading
To succeed in options day trading, you need to take care of your mental, physical, and emotional health. This means getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding excessive alcohol and smoking, and reducing stress in your environment. These habits will help you stay alert and focused throughout the day. So, take the time to care for yourself and perform at your best every day.
Rule 5 Do Your Homework Daily – Plan your day
Before the market opens, study the financial environment and news to develop a daily trading plan. This is called pre-market preparation and it's essential to stay competitive and align your strategy with the day's conditions. Develop a pre-market checklist that includes evaluating support and resistance, checking the news, assessing volume and competition, determining safe exits for losing positions, and considering market seasonality.
Rule 6 Analyse Your Daily Performance
Track your options day trading performance daily to notice patterns in your profits and losses. This will help you understand why you're gaining or losing money and fine-tune your processes for maximum returns. Reviewing your daily performance will also help you make long-term decisions for your options day trading career.
Rule 7 Pay Attention to Volatility
Volatility is how likely the price will change over time in the financial market. It can be good or bad for an options day trader, depending on their goals and position. Many factors affect volatility, like the economy, world events, and news reports. Straddle and strangle strategies are helpful in volatile markets. There are three types of volatility: price, historical, and implied. Price is based on supply and demand, historical looks at past performance, and implied predicts future performance.
Rule 8 Use Option Greeks
Greeks are measures that help to determine an option's price sensitivity in relation to other factors. They are represented by letters from the Greek alphabet and are used in complex formulas to determine option pricing. Despite their complexity, Greeks can be calculated quickly and efficiently, allowing options day traders to use them to improve their trades for maximum profit.

5 Tips For Managing Losing Trades (It Happens To Everyone)Losing trades happen. They are a part of the journey. There is simply no such thing as a trader or investor who wins all the time. All the famous investors or traders you know have LOST many times in their careers. It is perfectly normal. Did you know the famed hedge fund manager Ray Dalio lost everything in his 30s? He went broke. He had to start over from scratch.
This post will address what losing trades really mean and how to deal with it.
Before we begin, let us state the obvious:
- Be careful of people who claim they don't lose.
- Avoid people who flaunt win rates or success rates that are simply not possible.
- Losing trades happen to everyone! You are not alone.
Now, let's talk about what bad trades mean and 5 tips for managing them:
Number 1: A losing trade is different from a bad trade
The most experienced traders are well aware of their risk before they ever place a trade. Each losing trade is a small component of a bigger process that relates to a system, plan or strategy that has been thoroughly tested and studied. A losing trade is a calculated event for experienced traders. They defined their risk, position size, stop loss, and profit target. 🎯
A bad trade is very different. A bad trade implies someone risked their hard-earned money with no plan or process. A bad trade is reckless and indiscriminate trading. This often happens to new investors or traders who do not yet understand the time, studying, and research that goes into making a rock-solid plan. Be sure to remember the difference between a calculated losing trade and a bad trade with no plan or process.
TradingView Tip: there are several ways to get started with a plan, system or process. Paper trading, backtesting and/or working with proficient traders who give valuable feedback are all ways to get started. Don't risk your money without first doing research.
Number 2: Every losing trade provides data to get better
As we've mentioned several times now, losing trades happen to everyone. But remember, losing trades are also filled with insightful information and data. You can learn a lot from analyzing losing trades. 🔍
At the end of each trading day, week or month, experienced traders will analyze their losing trades in detail. What patterns are appearing? What do they share in common? Why did they happen? With this information, a trader or investor can adjust their strategy based on what they've uncovered.
Number 3: Do not let losing trades impact your health
Your mental and physical health are just as important as your financial health. Do not let losing trades impact either of those.
If your system is breaking down or several losing trades are starting to impact your emotions, step away from the computer or phone. Turn everything off and walk away. The markets have been open for hundreds of years and are not going away. When you're ready to come back, they'll be there.
Get up, get some fresh air, and get back in the arena when you're ready.
Number 4: Share your experiences with others
Traders and investors across the globe want to learn from your stories and losing trades. These are invaluable experiences that we all share in common. Social networks allow you to chat, share, and meet people who are going through similar things. We can all learn from each other.
Sure, the temptation to share your winners or act like the best trader who ever existed is tempting 😜 - but it's clear we learn together and get better when we share lessons from the loses. This is where the deepest insights are found, and together, it's where we can grow as a community of traders all trying to outperform the market.
Share and ask for constructive feedback!
Number 5: Keep Going
Markets are a game of learning, relearning, and progressing forward. New themes, trends, and stories appear and disappear daily. The journey is long and it never stops. When implementing your trading plan or investing plan, it's important to do it with the long-term in mind. One or two losing trades in a single day or week is a small fraction of what's to come many months and years down the road. 🌎
Keep going. Keep building. Keep refining your plan. Study the data.

FORCE MOTORS possible Elliot wave countsHere we had shared today possible Elliot wave counts of Force Motors ltd, on daily time frame, as per Elliot wave structure its clearly showing that we are in correction phase after impulse started from bottom of pandemic period of march 2020 and completed wave 1 till swing high of November 2021, well, if this phase was a fresh impulse as a wave 1, then currently we are in correction phase which had been unfolded as a zigzag pattern 5-3-5 subdivisions like (A)-(B) and now possibly we are in wave C, where we can say that of bigger degree wave 2 will be completed along with wave (C), now wave (C) should unfold in 5 subdivisions, in which we had completed wave 1 and now possibly we can retrace wave 2 as a contra trend. currently it may go bit upside as wave (a) - (b) and (c) inside of wave 2, which should not cross high of 1585 levels, and may turn down again to complete wave 3 - 4 and 5 of wave (C) of bigger degree wave 2.
On completion of wave 2 one can go long in this with invalidation level of 591 for targets above 1700 - 1800 and more.
In both upside and down side invalidation levels are mentioned on chart, if they breaches then we can assume that our study is missing something.
Thanks.
Most investors treat trading as a hobby because they have a full-time job doing something else.
However, If you treat trading like a business, it will pay you like a business.
If you treat like a hobby, hobbies don't pay, they cost you...!

Finnifty"Trading day, March 10: The global market indicates a negative start. The market's nature is bearish, and it may start with a gap-down. If the market takes an immediate pullback, then we can expect a range market that will reach a minimum of 61% fib level. On the other hand, there is a going sub-wave 3, which is a long wave, so we can follow that."

Mindful TradingMindfulness can be a powerful tool for day traders to improve their clarity of mind, focus, and decision-making skills. In this article, we will explore the concept of mindfulness in day trading.
🤷♂️What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and fully engaged with our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. It involves paying attention to our thoughts and emotions without judgment. Mindfulness can help us to reduce stress, improve our focus and concentration, and enhance our decision-making skills.
🤷♂️How Can Mindfulness Help Traders?
Mindfulness can be a valuable tool for day traders to improve their performance and well-being. Here are some ways that mindfulness can benefit day traders:
🚩Increased Awareness-- Mindfulness can help traders to become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations during the trading day. This increased awareness can help traders to identify and manage negative emotions such as fear, greed, and anxiety, which can impact their decision-making and trading performance.
🚩Improved Focus and Concentration-- Day trading requires traders to maintain focus and concentration for an extended period of time. Mindfulness can help traders to improve their ability to stay present and focused during the trading day, reducing distractions and improving their decision-making skills.
🚩Reduced Stress-- Day trading is a high-stress activity, and stress can negatively impact trading performance as well as social life. Mindfulness can help traders to reduce stress by teaching them techniques to manage their emotions and stay calm and focused during periods of market volatility.
🚩Enhanced Decision Making-- Mindfulness can help traders to make better decisions by improving their awareness and ability to stay focused and calm. Traders who practice mindfulness may be more likely to make rational and well-informed decisions, even in high-pressure situations.
🚩Improved Well-Being-- Practicing mindfulness can also improve a trader's overall well-being, including reduced anxiety levels and depression, improved sleep quality, and enhanced overall mental health.
⚡Basic Mindfulness Techniques
🚩Breathing Exercises-- Breathing exercises are a simple yet effective way to practice mindfulness. Deep breathing can help traders to calm their mind, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase focus and concentration. Traders can take a few deep breaths before making a trading decision or during periods of market volatility to stay calm and centered.
🚩Meditation-- Meditation is a powerful mindfulness technique that can help traders to develop mental clarity and focus. Traders can practice meditation for a few minutes (preferably before the market open) each day to improve their ability to stay present and focused during the trading day. Meditation can also help traders to manage negative emotions.
🚩Visualization-- Visualization involves using mental imagery to create a positive mental state. Traders can use visualization techniques to imagine successful trades, visualize market movements, and develop a positive mindset. Visualization can also help traders to manage fear and anxiety.
⚡Mindful Trading
Mindful trading is the practice of applying mindfulness techniques to the trading process. Here are some ways in which mindfulness can improve trading practices.
✅Start the day with a clear mind.
✅Stay focused in the present rather than getting lost in good or bad experiences of past trades.
✅Practice acceptance of uncontrollable variables of trading such as, market conditions and outcomes.
✅Manage extreme emotions such as fear and greed and hence improve decision making.
✅Taking regular breaks during the trading day maintains mental clarity and help in recharge and refocus.
