SILVERSilver had broken support trendline and closed yesterday below 20 day moving average, which is clear sign of bearishness ahead. After bounce from lower end of falling channel it got rejection at upper end of falling channel, also RK's Momentum turned in sell mode, all other trend indicators like macd, rsi etc. are also suggesting same bias, According to wave structure we are possibly in wave Z of Z, which can lead to retest levels of $ 20.462 and if sustain below this then $ 19.80, On upper side RK's stop line may work as a major hurdle which is pegged at $ 22.550 to watch out for.
Over all wave structure could be like this one
Price had broken Support Trendline along with 20DMA level on closing basis
Price getting Declined by RK's Cloud and stop line on daily chart
RK's Momentum turned Negative on daily chart
Macd in weekly already in Negative mode
Macd in daily down tick converging to Negative mode
RSI in daily down tick and near 40
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...!

A beginner's guide to trading - Chapter 4This question has been asked before. It has been asked now. I will be asked in future. What question is that? It is nothing but, “How to select stocks to trade?”
From beginners to expert traders, everybody knows stock selection is important. Especially for intraday it is very important as same stock won’t give movement daily.
There are two methods. One is to trade on active stocks and another is selecting a stock which has formed trade set up as per your strategy. Ok, now how to select stocks? For intraday, the stock you trade should be an active stock. If the price is above 400 rs means, generally the movement will be good. The price will move with momentum & show trend strength.
The stocks you select should be
-- Active
-- Above 400 Rs
-- No spikes in movement (very long upper & lower wicks).
Let us take an example. Beml is in my active stock list.
In the above chart on June 9th price was narrowing within a narrow range forming a symmetrical triangle. It means we can expect break out any side. I selected this stock to trade on June 10th. Next step is to prepare a trading plan. Bearish below 1330, I can go short if the price showed bearish strength with 10 points as stop. Bullish above 1350, I can go long if the price showed bullish strength with points as stop.
When you have a list of active stocks, you can filter them by pattern formation like the above example and trade.
Below is another example.
In the above example, I have selected the stock because of the consolidation. I have expected consolidation break out once the price moves out of the zone. The levels are marked in the chart.
Another method to select stocks is based on the strategy you use.
I have posted the strategy used already. Please refer the link below if you have not read it.
This trade set up forms in live market. So you have to wait for 15 minutes to know whether your trade set up has formed. These are just examples. Your strategy and trade set ups can have unique features depending on your trading style. It does not matter whether it is intraday or short term trading, always trade on stocks which is active and which forms the trade set up as per the strategy you use.
Nifty: A Study through Time CyclesNifty is in consolidation phase. This may or may not lead to a bear market and let’s not discuss it as of now. I will try to analyze Nifty, on the basis of support and resistance levels and time cycles, for the next possible swing and its direction.
Support and Resistance levels
-------------------------------------
It can be seen on the chart that Nifty made a high in Oct21 and faced resistance, followed by a sharp reaction of 11%. It rallied till mid of Jan22 and again faced a sharp larger reaction of 14%. It then rallied 15% throughout Mar22, faced a trendline resistance and reacted 13%
If we draw important support and resistance lines through this price action we get three major levels
-Dynamic resistance level through the trendline
-16780 to 16850 multiple support zone which is now a potential resistance zone
-15670 to 15750 support zone which also coincides with a prior area of consolidation
Time Cycles
----------------
If we look at peaks, there is a 62bar high cycle followed by 51 bar cycle.
In this sequence, the next cycle could have been a 40bars for the market to test trendline resistance. But that is not the case and here the market is at 16780-16850 zone after 40 bar cycle.
This clearly reflects some weakness in Nifty as it was able to cover roughly half the distance on the upside compared to January and March rallies, in almost same number of days. It’s clear that the prior support zone is acting as resistance.
At the valleys, there are 53 and 43bar cycles. The next cycle could be a 33bar cycle where Nifty can either breaks the recent support 15670-17750 or retests it. The 33bar cycle coincides with June expiry so there is need to take a cautious approach on the upside until 16850 resistance is taken out.
I hope this idea will help you to understand the markets another non conventional perspective.
Keep liking and sharing your thoughts.

How to create high quality trade ideas?Hey everyone! 👋
This week, we will be taking a look at the ingredients that go into creating and posting high-quality trade ideas.
While many think that a good trade idea begins and ends with finding a high probability chart setup in a liquid, volatile asset, the *best* trade ideas often combine multiple disciplines - which could include macroeconomic analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or some combination therein - into one cohesive unit. Getting in the habit of incorporating all of these factors into your thought process can lead to much higher quality setups, whether or not you choose to share them with the community.
Let’s jump in!
There are a couple of questions that you should ask yourself when trying to come up with high-quality ideas, and they boil down to the familiar five:
Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
Let's start with Who.
WHO:
Who is this trade idea meant for? When posting a trade idea, don’t assume that the idea is one-size-fits-all. The most obvious way TradingView helps in this regard is by categorizing posts by asset class, so FX traders are looking mostly at FX ideas, and crypto investors aren’t constantly exposed to commodity futures spreads. However, there are more subtle ways this happens as well. Different traders and investors often have different styles of trading, and so even within a single asset class, a long-term investment idea may not be applicable to a short-term trader. When creating a trade idea, it may make sense to identify to readers (and yourself) who this idea is for, and within what strategy it might best fit.
WHAT:
Most ideas do a great job at answering this question! It’s very simple: at its core, what does this idea want to do? Whether that idea boils down to shorting the stock market or building a long/short cryptocurrency spread, make sure that your idea clearly identifies what the core thrust of the trade is.
WHY:
This is the crux of any good trade idea. Why should someone commit capital and risk money according to your vision? It is common for traders, especially new traders, to think that answering this question comes down to building up a confluence of price patterns, indicators, and chart drawings until they line up and it is all systems go. In some cases, this serves as a reasonable answer to the “why” question - especially when assets have strong momentum.
However, oftentimes this approach may not go deep enough. What if the long technical setup on your chart is in a stock where the company’s business outlook is worsening? What if the descending triangle you’re looking at trading occurs within a larger bull market? This is where incorporating multiple disciplines, whether it’s fundamental analysis or macroeconomic understanding, can improve the quality of your trade ideas. Understanding some of the context surrounding the asset you’re trading can serve to layer probability in your favor.
Here’s the bottom line: the current price in any market is a reflection of the consensus view of the future. It’s important to illustrate *why* that pricing might be materially incorrect.
WHERE / WHEN:
It’s important to illustrate why *right now* is the right time to act on the idea, and this is where technicals can come in very handy. Broadly speaking, fundamental data on most assets only comes out once every couple of weeks, if that. It’s even longer between fundamental data releases for stocks. Because of this, utilizing price patterns, indicators, candlestick charting, and other technical analysis can be extremely helpful in defining risk, pinpointing entries, and trading more efficiently overall.
This is also where clean charting comes in. It’s important to identify how trader positioning, supply and demand zones, and other factors (that technicals help illustrate) affect the timing and risk of the idea. In addition, when publishing an idea on TradingView, the chart is one of the most visible and prevalent ways of communicating this information. Making these items clearly defined can significantly improve the quality of a trading idea and ensure clear communication of the important information.
So there you have it - the key questions that are at the core of any good trading idea! We look forward to seeing how this framework is incorporated into future posts.
Thanks for reading! Hope this was helpful!
See you all next week. 🙂

Action & Reaction move Analysis in simple way.Simplicity Is the Key to Success . The simpler we keep things, the more successful we will be. It's as simple as that. Therefore, Action & Reaction is very simple to understand and act. Let's move ahead.
Two types of movement in the market: Consider an uptrend and, bulls are in charge. The first major move in trend is the Actionary move . when finally pause to catch their breath, the bears take over and send the price lower. The lower is counter to the over uptrend and what we call a Reactionary move . Typically, the reactionary move can be weak(1/3) or deeper(2/3). Sometimes a reactionary move can sideway and, some people call it a pullback also which is part of a larger trend. when it could end up and new actionary move in the opposite direction. Trade and Trend is your friend, so we can say here take a position in direction of actionary move.
1 to 2 is an actionary move
2 to 3 is the reaction of 1 actionary move.
3 to 4 is the subsequent actionary move.
4 to 5 is a new reaction.
5 to 6 is unclear which has not still made a lower low. It could be bottoming out. No one really knows what will happen next. In this case, we will think about both sides. The first side, seems to be a new actionary move up and if 5 to 6 actionary move is exists, the price remains actionary for looking lower low.
What will be your trade action?
1. Up (long)
2. Down (short)
Type in the comment section.
TimeCycle Analysis is looking for the up move on weekly timeframe:
What after a heavy Loss ?Different types of emotions, questions, doubts arises in our mind when we see our capital depleting overall , we see a big portion of our capital is gone now ,we left with very less compare to initial capital.
_________________________________
Different concussions made by different traders
_________________________________
1) They loss because of manipulator , operator , promoter , fraudsters etc ...
This type of thinking is obvious because there are manipulators , operators , insiders who are always at advantageous position than you ... It is just like that your army trying to fight with a king where his army is equipped with better weapons.
Your chances of winning is less , obviously . Am I right or wrong.?
See why I took this example because in trading profession one's loss is another's profit. It is not very different with ancient war where one king use to fight with other risking the life of his soldiers for looting wealth of opponent.
There are professionals, Institutions, prop desks, Fiis ,Diis , mutual funds , different portfolio managers serving their clients. Many players playing at the same time.
Now main point is do we not take trades as our chances are less ?
See yes big players make money but you can too make money you need to understand your strength.
Now at this point you will surprise what is retailer's strength , in front of big players . Let me list it out.
1) Less capital . You do not need very much liquidity to trade efficiently. Big player cannot trade scrip which do not have very much liquid.
2) Smooth Entry and Exit : If I say you have to enter or exit 10Lac shares of Reliance today can you execute it at a small price range no , but with a small capital it is possible.
3) We can stay away from market for long time if we do not see a clear trend. But what about big players he have to trade every market condition and they trade and bear the existence cost their.
4) You can change your trading style much to get better results but they can't do much changes .
This is just like small armies comparing with big armies , small armies have better less conflict within ,Management have less difficulties in handling , Less Budget. etc...
See you can blame big players for your loss but introspect within is this the only reason. ?
_____________________________________
2) They lost because they do not have big capital :
I remember a quote .
"A trader is never under capitalised his mind is underdeveloped "
First learn to grow small account. There is no guarantee that if you have a big account you will perform good.
____________________________________
3) There is problem with their strategy . (search for holy grail)
See if you think a strategy formed with mathematical calculations can alone make you rich . I do not think this business is for you ... it is harsh but true.
"" It is just like the search of god outside but it is siting inside ""
Work with your trading mindset will give more results than working with strategies.
___________________________________
4) Fear for losing money again
This fear is there in every trader whether you lost money made money or just starting , but what happens when you had a big loss experience this fear starts growing bigger and bigger , your decision making get affected with this fear. You get very fearful with open position when it shown some profit you just try to book ass soon as possible. You start booking small and lose big, with this derailed trading style no progress is expected.
___________________________________
5) You think you should join expert traders.
Now at this point you are thinking constructively ,but this gives opportunity for fake trainers , tip providers , brokers running their own agenda. For them to convince you for their services is very easy. They clearly know how to convince. I do not say there are only fraudsters their are genuine guys too but their percentage and willingness to help you is very very less.
"It is just like in search of peace , satisfaction, god people end up in the trap of fake babas , gurus so called god messengers."
I will further explore more about the possible psychological situations after a big loss and about Loss recovery strategies in my next post.
Stay tinned .....
Is pattern completed for BNF or their still some hope?Here the matter of concern is where, the complete structure is heading towards?
Is it towards further complex correction or correction has now been ended? Let's find out.
Here, BNF has completed, ZIGZAG correction as per Elliot's standard rules. (Till Period 08-03-2022)
ZIG ZAG waves personality
Patten- ABC
Sub waves- A(5,3,5), B(A,B,C) & C(%,3,5)
Fib retracement for wave C: Can't go beyond 61.8% of wave (A)
From here, It has gone up to 38782. So, here the question is, is it the connecting wave X or it's another pattern.
CASE -1: If its WAVE X:
The retraced move and as per mentioned counting it could be (WAVE-1) , which has ended @ 33000 and now its the time retracement of wave 2.
(Here, important point to note is (WAVE-2) can go till the start of (WAVE-1 (in some cases)), but can't go beyond origin of wave 1.
In this case we have to wait we have to wait for proper price action at FIB levels starting from 61.8%.
CASE-2: If it's not WAVE X:
As per the price action & waves personality, it could be FLAT that might end at around the the top of the channel having sub structures as ABC (A: 3 sub waves, B: 3 sub waves & C: 5 sub waves)
and if it's not FLAT the correction might go in the form of triangle. (No visual waves formation of BNF in form of triangle till now)
Now time for trading plan.
Expecting the retracement is impulsive in nature (could be the last leg i.e. wave C). Buy on ever dip preferred having SL below 50% FIB levels (from Sub wave 2 to expecting wave 3 in market hours)
What is Fibonacci retracement?If you have been in the market for some time, you may have heard of “Fibonacci retracements” . Today we are going to share an informative write-up along with a few exhibits that may help you solidify your understanding of this concept.
Table of Contents:
1. What are Fibonacci levels?
2. What is the significance of retracement levels?
3. How to find retracement levels?
4. How to use the retracement levels?
Without further ado, let’s jump in!
What are Fibonacci Retracement levels?
The retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate areas where the price could stall or reverse.
These horizontal levels can act as potential support or resistance levels.
They are based on Fibonacci numbers. Each level is associated with a percentage which means how much of a prior move the price has retraced.
The retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%.
While 50% is not a pure Fibonacci ratio, it is still used as a support and resistance. This is because people regard it as an important level.
The price won’t always bounce from these levels. They should be looked at as areas of interest. Hence, the Fibonacci retracement should be used as a confirmation tool.
Significance of Fibonacci Retracement levels
Different traders use this tool differently but the most common usage is as follows:
Place entry orders
Determine stop-loss levels
Set price targets
For example, A stock may be in an uptrend. After a move up, it retraces to the 61.8% level. Then, it starts to go up again. Since the bounce occurred at a retracement level during an uptrend, long positions can be initiated with an optimal stop loss.
Finding Fibonacci Retracement levels
In order to find the retracement levels, you have to identify the recent significant swing high and swing low and then plot the Fibonacci accordingly.
For uptrend: First, select the swing low and then the swing high.
For downtrend: First, select the swing high and then the swing low.
Exhibit: Fibonacci retracement in an uptrend
Exhibit: Fibonacci retracement in a downtrend
How to use the retracement levels?
If the price is approaching a Fibonacci level, you should look out for the following things at the point of interaction or in the vicinity of the level.
Reversal candlestick patterns
Rising volumes
Moving average
RSI divergence
Previous support/resistance level
Conclusion:
Adding Fibonacci analysis with other common methods of technical analysis can be useful for adding confluence to a trade.

Nifty - Analysis for the coming weeksNifty | Range perspective:
- The price has been moving in this range for the last 2 weeks.
- The range is 650 points wide. Using the measurement objective provides us with a target of 650 points in either direction.
- This means that, whenever the price moves out of this range, we can expect 17k or 15k.
- I'd be looking to trade either direction with a strict SL.
- Currently, the bias is bearish because the HTF structure is bearish. I'd be willing to short near 16450-16400 if the price gives me an opportunity.
- In case, the price moves above 16450 and sustains, the intermediate bias will shift to bullish.
Nifty - M15
These are the levels that I am looking at.
- The initial supply zone is the point where the HTF sellers entered the range high and pushed the price downwards.
- The secondary supply is the point where the HTF sellers dumped the price today.
- The price is at the flip zone and can move either way. I am looking at 3 favourable scenarios where the HTF sellers defend their positions and push the price towards the unfilled gap.
- We can also observe the formation of the Head & Shoulder pattern, which will get confirmed only after the breakdown of the neckline.
- The breakdown of the H&S will also confirm the breakdown of the flip zone, in which case we can expect the price to fill the gap.
- The depth of H&S is about 270 points, which also aligns with the bottom of the unfilled gap.
- Hence, all of these factors are adding up for a beautiful short, either tomorrow or on Thursday.
- This analysis may or may not work out. So, please do not take any random trades based on this.
Nifty - M5
- Beware of the trendline breakout since there is a supply zone overhead. The breakout can be a fake breakout just to trap more longs before moving downwards.
Thanks for reading! Hope this was helpful.

Shooting Star - Complete GuideWhat is the Shooting Star candlestick pattern?
A shooting star candlestick pattern is a chart formation that occurs when an asset’s market price is pushed up quite significantly, but then rejected and closed near the open price. This creates a long upper wick, a small lower wick and a small body.
The upper wick must take up at least half of the length of the candlestick for it to be considered a shooting star. And, it must appear at the top of an uptrend. As a result, the shooting star candlestick pattern is often thought to be a possible signal of bearish reversal. This means an uptrend might not continue (prices may fall).
Traders should be careful not to confuse the shooting star pattern with an inverted hammer candlestick pattern. They both have a longer upper wick and small body. But the inverted hammer indicates bullish as opposed to bearish reversal. Also, the inverted hammer is often seen at the bottom of a downtrend.
How to recognize it:
i) Little to no lower shadow
ii) The price closes at the bottom ¼ of the range
iii) The upper shadow is about 2 or 3 times the length of the body
What does Shooting Star tells you ?
i) Shooting stars signals a potential downside reversal
ii)A shooting star opens and rises strongly during the trading session, showing the same buying pressure that is seen over the last trading sessions. At the end of the trading session, the sellers push the price down near the open.
or
At the buying climax, huge selling pressure stepped in and pushed price lower. The selling pressure is so strong that it closed below the opening price.
In short, a Shooting Star is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that shows rejection of higher price.
Before trading with the shooting star, one should remember the following points:
Trade Entry: Before you enter a shooting star trade, you should confirm that the prior trend is an active bullish trend. Entry is below the Shooting Star candle low.
Stop Loss: Place Stop Loss just above the high of Shooting Star candle or above recent high.
Taking Profits: Minimum target is the size of the Shooting Star candle. I generally prefer 1:2 as first target. Best way to ride the move is to sit till any bullish signal is sensed. You can target previous swing lows or support zone.
Examples-
TATAMOTORS
NIFTY
NAUKRI
High Probability Scenario:-
i)Focus on the major Resistance levels, that’s where traders get trapped
When you trade The Shooting Star candlestick pattern, you want to focus on trading the major Resistance levels (the ones which can be seen on the higher timeframe).When a level is obvious and the price breaks out of it, many traders will hop on the bandwagon and buy the breakout (hoping to catch a piece of the move).However, if the price makes a false breakout, this group of traders is trapped, and their stops will trigger strong selling pressure.
Now, this is to your advantage because The Shooting Star candlestick pattern allows you to trade the false breakout and profit from “trapped” traders.
So the more obvious the level, the more traders will get trapped — and you make more money.
Conclusion
So here’s what you’ve learned today:
The Shooting Star candlestick is a bearish reversal pattern that shows rejection of higher prices.
Just because you a spot a Shooting Star candlestick pattern doesn’t mean you go short immediately because you must also consider the context of the markets. Confirmation to go short is always below shooting star candle's low.
Set your stop loss slightly above shooting star candle or above previous highs.
Learning Stages in TradingIn my opinion learning in any field is connected to the "Four stages of Competence" and trading is no different. This post also answers why most traders lose in the stock market.
Following are the four stages which every trader has to pass before attaining success.
Unconscious Incompetence
----------------------------------
This stage belongs to the newbie traders who ignore all the knowledge part. They don't think that they need any kind of knowledge to make money. Their greatest desire is to make money in shortest possible duration so they rely on tips/news for trading. Ultimately they lose and i think more than 50% traders quit at this stage only.
Conscious Incompetence
--------------------------------
At this stage the trader realizes that ignorance is not a bliss. He has already lost in the markets so he thinks that may be he lacks knowledge. He starts reading books; attends online webinars; and attend courses/classes.
Although he is gaining knowledge yet he confused with tons of indicators and strategies etc. He still loses because due to these confusions their is no solidarity in his plans. He has got a poor risk appetite. His ego of being right and urge to win every trade widens his losses. I think less than 30% traders survive up to this stage.
Conscious Competence
------------------------------
Finally after so many losses the confusion leads to simplicity. The reader gets more systematic with setups and all, but still struggling with psychological issues like fear, greed, lack of discipline, insufficient capital etc.
At this stage, I suppose 85% traders would lose their entire capital and give up scolding themselves for choosing a wrong career. Left with less than 15% traders.
Unconscious Competence
---------------------------------
A very few who reach at this stage and still left with funds make money from money. Trading selective setups becomes an involuntary action for them. They have realized the hardest truths of trading so psychological hurdles disappear from them. They belong to that <10% successful traders.
Which stage do you belong? Do write in the comment section.
Keep liking for more interesting stuff in the coming days.
Strong Bearish Reversal Candlestick PatternPattern: Bearish Reversal
1) There must be a prior uptrend.
2) Price opens above previous day close/high and makes a high higher than previous day.
3) The Red candle closes below previous day open/low
Trading this pattern
1) Look for this pattern after a big upmove.
2) Upon confirmation, open a short position on 3rd candle.
3) Place a stoploss above the high of the big red candle.
Part 1: Equity Derivatives - A Beginner's GuideWhat are derivatives?
Basic interpretation : something which is based on another source.
A derivative is a contract or product whose value derives from the value of the base asset. The base asset is called the underlying asset.
i.e., Sugar prices will rise if sugarcane prices increase due to low production. It means sugarcane is the underlying asset of sugar because the value of sugar is associated with sugarcane.
There is a broad range of underlying assets:
Metals: lead, gold, silver, copper, zinc, nickel, tin, etc.
Energy: coal, natural gas, etc.
Agri commodities: corn, cotton, pulses, wheat, sugar, etc.
Financial assets: Stocks, bonds, forex, etc.
There are two types of derivatives:
1. Exchange-traded: A standardized derivative contract, listed and traded on an organized exchange.
2. Over-the-counter/off-exchange trading/pink sheet trading:
A derivative product in which counterparties buy or sell a contract or product at a negotiated price without exchange
Instruments of derivatives market:
There are four instruments in the derivatives market:
1. Forward:
Forward is a non-standard agreement or agreement between two parties that allows you to buy/sell the asset at the agreed price for a pre-decided date of the contract.
Forwards are negotiated between two pirates, so the terms and conditions of the contract are customized.
These are called over-the-counter(OTC).
2. Future:
Future contracts are similar to forwarding contracts, but the deal is made through an organized and regulated exchange rather than negotiated between two counterparties.
A futures contract is an exchange-traded forward contract.
3. Options:
A derivative contract that gives the right but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a stated strike price on or before a specified date.
Buyers of options- Pays the premium and buys the right
Sellers of options - Receives the premium with the obligation to buy/sell underlying assets.
4. Swap:
A swap is a derivative contract between two counterparties to exchange for the cash flows or liabilities from two different financial instruments.
It is an introduction article. I will cover all these topics in detail.
Swap helps participants manage risk associated with volatility risk interest rate, currency exchange rates, & commodity prices.
Index:
Index = Portfolio of securities
An Index shows how investors experience the economy. Is it progressing or not?
A Stock market index gathers data from a variety of companies of industries. The data forms an overall picture and helps investors compare market performance through past and current prices.
Financial indices represent the price movement of bonds, shares, Treasury Bills, etc.
Importance of Index:
1. An index is an indication of a specific sector or gross market.
2. It helps investors to pick the right stock
3. An index is a statistical indicator. It represents an overall change or part of a change in the economy.
4. In OTC & exchange-traded markets, It used as an underlying asset for derivatives trading
5. An index helps to measure for evaluation of portfolio performance.
6. Portfolio managers use indices as investment benchmarks.
7. Index illustrates investor sentiments.
Types of index:
There are four classifications for indices:
Equal Weighted Index:
Each company is given the same weightage in the composition of this index. Equal-weighted indexes are more diversified than market capitalization-weighted indexes. This index focuses on value investing.
Free-float index:
In finance, equity divides into different among various stakeholders like promoters, institutions, corporates, individuals, etc.
A tradable stake for trading is called a free-float share.
i.g, If XYZ company has issued 5 lakh shares with the face value of Rs 10, but of these, 2 lakh shares are owned by the promoter, then the free-float market capitalization is Rs 30 lakh.
Free-float market capitalization: Free-floating shares * Price of shares
Index: BSE SENSEX
Market capitalization-weighted index:
In this index, each stock is given weightage according to its market capitalization.
High market cap = High weightage
Low market cap = low weightage
Market Cap= Current market price * total number of outstanding shares
i. e, if XYZ company has 1,000,000 outstanding shares and a market price of 55 rs per share will have a market capitalization of 55,000,000.
Index: Nifty 50
Price Weighted Index:
High price = More weightage
Low price = Low weightage
Popular price-weighted index: Dow Jones industrial average & Nikkei 225
I will upload second part soon.

WHAT IS OPTION GREEKS ?NSE:BANKNIFTY
Introduction
Option trading is an exciting process and almost every market participant has at least experienced the thrill of trading options, almost all the time with unsatisfactory results.
To avoid such accidents an option trader seeks different tools to trade sucssessfully,
The most important of tools are the Option Greeks and they are usually the first metric looked upon by option traders.
What are Option Greeks?
Options are derivatives of underlying assets ( curd is a derivative of milk, so the change in the quality of milk will result in a change in the quality of the curd derived ) similarly, Greeks are a way to measure the sensitivity of the price of the option to various factors.
The price of the option premium does not always move in conjunction with the price of the underlying asset and it is important to understand the different factors that affect the change in the price of the premium. With the help of the option greeks, a trader will be able to measure the rate of change of different factors affecting the option premium.
# You can check the option greeks by using zerodha option chain or any other trading platform
What is DELTA?
The first Greek is Delta, which quantifies how much an option's price is projected to fluctuate for every $1 that the underlying securities or index changes in price.
For example,A Delta of 0.50 indicates that the option's price will fluctuate 50 point for every 100 point movement in the price of the underlying stock or index.
#Delta for call option ranges between 0 to 1 and for put option ranges between -1 to 0.
>ATM options have a delta of 0.5
>ITM option have a delta of close to 1
>OTM options have a delta of close to 0.
Delta = Change in option premium/ Unit change in the price of the underlying asset.
#The following example should help you understand this better –
Nifty is currently trading at 16000
Option Strike = 15900 Call Option
Premium = 150
Delta of the option = + 0.60
Nifty is expected to reach 16200
What is the likely option premium value at 16200 ?
Well, this is fairly easy to calculate. We know the Delta of the option is 0.60, which means for every 1 point change in the underlying the premium is expected to
change by 0.60 points.
We are expecting the underlying to change by 200 points (16200 – 16000), hence the premium is supposed to increase by
= 200*0.60
= 120
the new option premium is expected to trade around 150 + 120 = 270
What ia gamma?
Gamma is used to measure the delta’s change relative to the changes in the price of the underlying asset.
If the price of the underlying asset increases by 1point, the option’s delta will change by the gamma amount.
The gamma value will also range between 0 and 1.
Gamma = Change in an options delta / Unit change in the price of the underlying asset.
What is Theta?
The Theta or time decay factor is the rate at which an option loses value as time passes. Theta is expressed in points lost per day when all other conditions remain the same.
theta is always shown as negative number because option value is depriciating as the time is passing.
Theta is the biggest enemy of option buyer cause it reduces the favourable outcome of option buyer by depriciating the option price.
for example,A Theta of -15 indicates that the option premium will lose -15 points for every day that passes by.
if an option is trading at Rs.290/- with a theta of -15 then it will trade at Rs.275/- the following day when other factors remain constant.
Theta = Change in an option premium / Change in time to expiry.
This is the graph of how premium erodes as a time to expiry approaches. This is also called the ‘Time Decay’ graph.
What is Vega ?
It is intended to tell you how much an option’s price should move when the volatility of the underlying security or index increases or decreases. It is the change of an option premium for a given change (typically 1%) in the underlying volatility.
1. Vega measures how the implied volatility (IV) of a stock affects the price of the options on that stock.
2. Volatility is one of the most important factors affecting the value of options.
3.A drop in Vega will typically cause both calls and puts to lose value.
4. An increase in Vega will typically cause both calls and puts to gain value.
Vega = Change in an option premium / Change in volatility.
What can option Greeks do for you?
1.Help you measure the possibility that an option will expire in the money (Delta).
2.Estimate how much the Delta will change when the stock price changes (Gamma).
3.Get a feel for how much value your option might lose each day as it approaches expiration (Theta).
4.Understand how sensitive an option might be to large price swings in the underlying stock (Vega).
“With the help of Greeks, an options trader can make more analyzed decisions about which options to trade, which strike price to trade and when to trade.
Since there are a variety of market factors that can affect the price of an option in some way, assuming all other factors remain unchanged,
we can use Greeks and determine the impact of each factor when its value changes.”
