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.

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.

'Shades' of 'Trades' - color of the marketIn this color season let's have an insight into how the market plays 'Holi' with traders with its binary colors. The above line sounds fascinating but it's not let me elaborate a bit more. Yes, the market plays with colors with traders but the market uses only binary colors. Many of you may think of white and black as binary colors, but this is not the case here. The market only uses two primary colors green and red to play with traders but we play with colors only on 'Holi' it seems that markets are very fond of playing with colors so it does probably every trading day it either colors the trader's position page with the green of red. Though we have only two colors in markets which can be divided into four shades which are the following:- -> Light Green - symbolizes a small profit -> Dark Green - symbolizes a big profit ( Trader's Favorite ) -> Light Red - symbolizes a small loss -> Dark Red - symbolizes a big loss ( Hazardous to account ) In this article let's dive into the depth of these colors and the reason for incurring such colors on your position page. -->How to get light green color -- Aimed for steady and regular profits . -> Trader can incur this only if they are consistent and aims for regular profit cause markets aren't trending every day. -> Discipline is the key to consistency. I think many of you have heard of the story of sage Vishwamitra who was meditating for a purpose and Menka was used to break the meditation and misguide him from his path. The same is the case of markets if you are in the market to generate regular profits then you must be disciplined as markets have negative behavior of creating illusions to trap the traders just like Menka . -> I suggest developing a trading system or set of rules on which you are going to take the trade if you want to generate regular and steady profits cause if the system is profitable you will also be profitable. Don't rely on price action on an intraday basis unless you're a champ in the same. -->How to get dark green color -- Aimed for sporadic and occasional profits. -> Though everyone wants profits it's not obvious as said earlier markets aren't trending every day. -> But if you are keen on watching market movements, you could probably catch these sporadic days and generate big profits. -> Fear should reside out to ride big profits. I think why many of us aren't able to ride big profits because of the opulence of loss that has developed fear in our minds due to which we try to book profits early without getting any sign of weakness in our trades. Our mindset says to us "Something is better than nothing". -> To overcome this fear I suggest backtesting your trades which can help you in gaining self-confidence if anyhow you can develop faith in yourself then fear naturally resides. -->Reasons to get light red color -- Quite obvious as a part of the game. -> It's quite obvious if you getting small losses as loss is a part of the trade game. -> There is nothing to be stressed about or to ponder upon these small losses if it comes along with profits as there is no such trading system or trader which only gives or generates profit. -> This usually happens when stop-loss is hit and you must be thankful to yourself that you had placed a stop and accept the small loss. Markets reward traders who admit their errors and change their ways whereas punish traders who are obstinate and won't change. I think everyone must check the reason for each loss they incur if it's due to the system you are following and the system is profitable in long run then the loss is fine but if it's due to your own mistake, learn from it and rectify the same as quick as possible. -->Reasons to get dark red color -- Hazardous and may lead to termination. -> One must avoid these big losses at all costs; otherwise, you may find yourself in a situation where you are unable to pay any costs. -> Most hazardous and may sometimes lead to the termination of your trading journey. -> This usually happens due to the stubborn nature of traders where they don't accept that they are wrong or don't have the guts to book their stop losses. I think why many of us incur big losses because of neglecting the use of system stop-loss. Traders have realized the significance of stop-loss hence they decide on the sl before entering into the trade but what they do is keep sl in mind rather than the system and when the price reaches the sl level they don't have the guts to book the loss due to which small loss turn into a big loss. This is the reason why everybody should place system stop-loss as a computer doesn't have emotion. As stated earlier Markets reward traders who admit their errors and change their ways whereas punish traders who are obstinate and won't change. That means that if the trader does not recognize their mistake and book, the sl market will penalize them with a large loss. I suppose that all of you have got great knowledge of the 'Shades' of 'Trades' and an insight into all outcomes of a trade. And I think that I was able to explain to you how the market also likes to play with color and now the first line doesn't seem to be fascinating but obvious. I hope this 'Holi' market colors you all with dark green, and wish you all a 'Happy Holi'.

A practical guide to Risk management Hey everyone! 👋 While trading and investing offer the opportunity for profit, there is always the potential for loss. The most experienced traders know this best and in today’s post, we’re going to share several time-tested tips to help new traders and investors better understand financial risk and intelligent planning. 📝 Develop a Trading Plan • Many traders jump into the market without a thorough understanding of how it works and what it takes to be successful. • You should have a detailed trading plan in place prior to engaging in any trades. • Having a plan can help you stay calm under stress and ensure that you are trading within your risk tolerance. 🧘‍♂️ Understand your risk tolerance • Risk is subjective. Different traders have different personalities and systems, hence a different risk tolerance. • There is no “One-size-fits-all” approach. • Find out what suits your needs based on your account size, age, long-term plan, and other key variables that are specifically unique to your circumstances. Then, implement it accordingly. 📚 Follow your trading system • A trading system lays down a set of rules that can help a trader avoid impulsive decisions. • A trading system is essential because it requires you to think deeply about your approach to markets before you begin risking real money. • Traders should backtest and research their system under different market conditions. Ask yourself how you would perform in a bear market? Have you tried paper trading your system to see if it works? Have you discussed your system with others or asked for feedback? • Some traders hop strategies after a series of losses. This usually leads to more losses and is unproductive in the long term. • If your system has a verifiable edge, then sticking to it will help you in generating consistent returns over time. It will also help you stick to your original long-term plan as mentioned above. 🚨 Use a Stop-Loss • A stop-loss order is an order that is placed at a predetermined price level and can help in limiting your losses if the trade goes against you. It’s also used to ensure you’re sticking to your original trading plan or trading system. • In general, this predetermined price level is the level at which your trade idea gets invalidated. ✂️ Manage your position size • It's important to take an optimal position size so that there isn’t too much risk exposure in any given trade. • Trading is a game of probabilities. Hence, a trader should never put all his eggs in one basket and if he does, then he should be well aware of it. ❌ Don't overtrade or revenge trade • Although it can be tempting, it's never a good idea to try to recoup the losses by taking higher risks. • It's easy to feel strong emotions while trading. However, making decisions based on emotions rather than rational analysis can be a recipe for disaster. If you fear that this is happening, walk away from your computer. 📔 Maintain a trading journal •A trading journal can help you in identifying the shortcomings in your trading. • Evaluation of this journal at regular intervals will help you in understanding and in improving yourself. The trading journal is a tool to self-reflect on your journey. Thanks for reading! We hope you enjoyed this post. Please feel free to write any additional tips or pieces of advice in the comments section below! 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!

Cash flow statement or Three great riversToday we're going to start taking apart the third and final report that the company publishes each quarter and year - it's Cash flow statement. Remember, when we studied the balance sheet , we learned that one of the company's assets is cash in accounts. This is a very important asset because if the company doesn't have money in the account, it can't buy raw materials, pay employees' salaries, etc. What, in general, is a "company" in the eyes of an accountant? These are assets that have been purchased on credit or with equity, for the purpose of earning a net income for its shareholders or investing that income in further growth. That is, the source of cash in a company's account may be profits . But why do I say "may be"? The point is that it's possible to have a situation where profits are positive on the income statement, but there is no money physically in the account. To make sense of this, let's remember the workshop I use in all the examples. Suppose our master sold all of his boots on credit. That is, he was promised payment, but later. He ended up with a receivable in assets and, most interestingly, generated revenue. The accountant will calculate the revenue for these sales, despite the fact that the shop hasn't actually received the money yet. Then the accountant will deduct the expenses from the revenue, and the result will be a profit. But there is zero money in the account. So what should our master do? The orders are coming in, but there is nothing to pay for the raw materials. In such circumstances, while the master is waiting for the repayment of debts from customers, he himself borrows from the bank to top up his current account with money. Now let us make his situation more complicated. Let us assume that the money borrowed he still does not have enough, and the bank does not give more. The only thing left is to sell some of his property, that is, some of his assets. Remember, when we took apart the assets of the workshop , the master had shares in an oil company. This is something he could sell without hurting the production process. Then there is enough money in the checking account to produce boots uninterrupted. Of course, this is a wildly exaggerated example, since more often than not, profits are money, after all, and not the virtual records of an accountant. Nevertheless, I gave this example to make it clear that cash in the account and profit are related, but still different concepts. So what does the cash flow statement show? Let's engage our imagination again. Imagine a lake with three rivers flowing into it on the left and three rivers flowing out on the right. That is, on one side the lake feeds on water, and on the other side it gives it away. So the asset called "cash" on the balance sheet is the lake. And the amount of cash is the amount of water in that lake. Let's now name the three rivers that feed our lake. Let's call the first river the operating cash flow . When we receive the money from product sales, the lake is filled with water from the first river. The second river on the left is called the financial cash flow . This is when we receive financing from outside, or, to put it simply, we borrow. Since this is money received into the company's account, it also fills our lake. The third river let's call investment cash flow . This is the flow of money we get from the sale of the company's non-current assets. In the example with the master, these were assets in the form of oil company stock. Their sale led to the replenishment of our notional money lake. So we have a lake of money, which is filled thanks to three flows: operational, financial, and investment. That sounds great, but our lake is not only getting bigger, but it's also getting smaller through the three outgoing flows. I'll tell you about that in my next post. See you soon!

Triangle Breakout in ABCAPITALFrom past 4 years stock was trading in a downtrend. But some significant changes would have taken place in the company in recent 2 years, leading to price recovery and triangle pattern formation with strong resistance faced around 130 to 140 levels. Stock had given breakout from this level in the month of November with a good volume and started consolidating above this level. On 28th Feb we can observe breakout from this consolidation. Price level of 130-140 should act as immediate support. Ideal Stop loss can be at 122 for Long term trades, for Swing trades SL can be placed around 130. All possible targets are marked on the chart. Looking at the chart from the long-term perspective, there is a possibility of another rally of 70-80% in coming years.

Stock Market Risks: A Brief Guide to Get ThroughThe stock market can be an exciting and potentially lucrative place to invest, but it also carries significant risks, particularly in the futures and options segment. While the potential for high returns is a major draw, it is essential to understand the risks and take appropriate measures to manage them effectively. Risks in Futures and Options Segment Futures and options are derivative products that allow investors to buy or sell a particular asset at a specific price on a future date. This segment can be risky due to the potential for high leverage, meaning that a small investment can lead to significant losses or gains. Moreover, futures and options are often complex instruments that require a solid understanding of the underlying asset. Risk Aspects in Investment Investment in the stock market also carries inherent risks, such as market volatility, company-specific risk, and currency risk, among others. These risks can impact the overall performance of your portfolio in the long run. Risk Aspects in Day Trading In day trading, an instrument is bought and sold on the same day so as to make a quick profit. While day trading can be profitable, it also carries significant risks due to the high volatility and leverage involved. Day traders need to have a deep understanding of the market and should use technical analysis to make informed decisions. Step-by-Step Guide for Surviving the Stock Market 1. Educate Yourself: The first step to surviving the stock market is to educate yourself about the risks involved, market trends, and investment strategies. You can attend seminars, read books, and consult with experienced investors or brokers. 2. Set Realistic Goals: Setting realistic financial goals based on your investment horizon, risk appetite, and financial situation is crucial. This not only helps in avoiding impulsive trading but also in staying focussed. 3. Diversify Your Investments: Diversifying your portfolio across different sectors, geographies, and asset classes can help mitigate risks and balance your returns. 4. Have a Disciplined Approach: Avoid chasing quick returns or taking unnecessary risks. Have a disciplined approach to investing, and stick to your investment plan. 5. Manage Your Risks: Use risk management tools such as stop-loss orders and limit orders to minimize losses. Moreover, one should always try to invest only that much money which one can afford to lose. Other than that there is always need to maintain a cash buffer for emergencies. In conclusion, the stock market carries significant risks, especially in the futures and options segment. However, with a disciplined approach, a sound investment strategy, and effective risk management, new and struggling traders and investors can survive and thrive in the stock market.

10 Reasons why Most traders lose moneyHey everyone!👋 Trading & investing is not easy. If it were, everyone would be rich. Here are a couple of time-honored tips to help you get back to basics. Lack of knowledge 📘 Many traders jump into the market without a thorough understanding of how it works and what it takes to be successful. As a result, they make costly mistakes and quickly lose money. Poor risk management 🚨 Risk is an inherent part of trading, and it's important to manage it effectively in order to protect your capital and maximize your chances of success. However, many traders don't have a clear risk management strategy in place, and as a result, they are more vulnerable to outsized losses. Emotional decision-making 😞 It's easy to feel strong emotions while trading. However, making decisions based on emotions rather than rational analysis can be a recipe for disaster. Many traders make poor decisions when they are feeling overwhelmed, greedy, or fearful and this can lead to significant losses. Lack of discipline 🧘‍♂️ Successful trading requires discipline, but many traders struggle to stick to their plan. This can be especially challenging when the market is volatile or when a trader is going through a drawdown. Create a system for yourself that's easy to stay compliant with! Over-trading 📊 Many traders make the mistake of over-trading, which means they take on too many trades and don't allow their trades to play out properly. This leads to increased risk, higher brokerage costs, and a greater likelihood of making losses. Clearly articulating setups you like can help separate good opportunities from the chaff. Lack of a trading plan 📝 A trading plan provides a clear set of rules and guidelines to follow when taking trades. Without a plan, traders may make impulsive decisions, which can be dangerous and often lead to losses. Not keeping up with important data and information ⏰ The market and its common narratives are constantly evolving, and it's important for traders to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in order to make informed decisions. Not cutting losses quickly ✂️ No trader can avoid making losses completely, but the key is to minimize their impact on your account. One of the best ways to do this is to cut your losses quickly when a trade goes against you. However, many traders hold onto losing trades for too long, hoping that they will recover, and this can lead to larger-than-expected losses. Not maximizing winners 💸 Just as it's important to cut your losses quickly, it's also important to maximize your winners. Many traders fail to do this, either because they don’t have a plan in place, telling them when and how to exit a trade. As a result, they may leave money on the table and miss out on potential profits. Not Adapting 📚 Adapting to changing market conditions is paramount to success in the financial markets. Regimes change, trading edge disappears and reappears, and the systems underpinning everything are constantly in flux. One day a trading strategy is producing consistent profits, the next, it isn't. Traders need to adapt in order to make money over the long term, or they risk getting phased out of the market. The majority of traders can improve their chances of success by educating themselves, developing a solid trading plan, planning out decisions beforehand, and avoiding common pitfalls. I hope you enjoyed this post. Please feel free to write any additional tips or pieces of advice in the comments section below! Happy learning. Cheers!

Risk-Reward ratioHey everyone!👋 Risk management is an essential part of successful trading as it helps in identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks that may arise from various factors such as volatility. Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or scalper, effective risk management can help you in protecting your capital, and minimising losses while maximizing potential profits. Before we move ahead, 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! One of the key pillars of risk management is Risk-Reward (RR) ratio. Traders can use this concept for optimising their entries and exits. 📚 What is Risk-Reward ratio? → The RR ratio measures your potential risk to the potential loss for a given trade. → A Risk:Reward of 1:3 means that you are risking 1 point in order to gain 3 points. → Conversely, some traders like to visualise it as Reward:Risk, in which case, the same proportion is written as 3:1. 🔍 What's an ideal Risk-Reward ratio? → In general, some traders consider 1:2 or higher as a good RR ratio. → However, this is not written in stone and should not necessarily be taken at face value. → There is no “One-size-fits-all” approach. Different traders have different systems and winning rates. → The risk-reward ratio combined with the win rate determines a trader's profitability. 🚨 Risk-Reward versus Win rate % For a trader to stay breakeven, → A low RR requires a higher winning rate → A high RR requires a lower winning rate As evident from the above data, a trader using a higher RR with a low win rate can still be profitable. Hence, traders must combine their winning rate with an optimal RR to reach their desired profitability target. Need for a balanced approach → A high risk-reward ratio seems attractive because it allows traders to make more profit than they stand to lose. → Similarly, a low risk-reward seems less attractive because it gives less reward as compared to the risk. Example: Buying the horizontal breakout (Higher risk, higher RR) Example: Buying the horizontal breakout (Lower risk, lower RR) Risk is subjective and no two traders have the same risk tolerance. Therefore, it is advisable to use a RR as per your own trading system and the winning rate so as to ensure that the potential reward justifies the potential risk. Thanks for reading!
