Harmonic Patterns

PCR in Trading However, no PCR can be considered ideal, but usually, a PCR below 0.7 is typically viewed as a strong bullish sentiment while a PCR more than 1 is usually considered as a strong bearish sentiment. A high PCR indicates a bearish sentiment, as more traders buy puts, expecting the market to decline. Similarly, a low PCR suggests a bullish sentiment, with more traders buying calls in anticipation of a market rise. PCR > 1: When the PCR is greater than 1, it suggests that there are more open put contracts than call contracts, indicating a bearish sentiment. Traders and investors anticipate the underlying asset's price to fall. PCR = 1: When the PCR is close to 1, it implies a balanced sentiment in the market.

Strength Index (RSI) IndicatorThe relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to detect overbought or oversold conditions in the price of that security. The RSI is helpful for market participants in identifying trends. In a strong uptrend, the RSI typically stays between 40 and 90, with the 40-50 range acting as support. In a strong downtrend, the RSI ranges from 10 to 60, with the 50-60 range serving as resistance.

Database TradingWhen you trade options, you're essentially placing a bet on if a stock will decrease, increase or remain the same in value; how much it will deviate from its current price; and in what time those changes will occur. Based on those parameters, you can choose to enter into a contract to buy or sell a company's stock. Trading options offers a number of benefits for an active trader: Options can offer high returns and do so over a short period, allowing you to multiply your money quickly if your wager is right. With options, it can cost less to get the same exposure to a stock's price movement than it does to buy the stock directly.

Advanced PCR (Put call Ratio) The Put Call Ratio (PCR) is a tool in the stock market to understand how investors feel about a stock or the market's future. It compares the number of put options to call options traded. More puts traded mean investors expect prices to fall (bearish). More calls traded mean investors expect prices to rise (bullish). High PCR (> 1) - This indicates more put options are being traded than call options, suggesting a bearish sentiment, and traders expect the market to go down. Low PCR (< 1) - This indicates more call options are being traded than put options, suggesting a bullish sentiment, and traders expect the market to go up.

Technical Analysis Part - 4The MACD is a momentum indicator that can be used to anticipate changes in market sentiment. However, it is not foolproof: experienced traders look to other metrics, such as trading volume, for a more complete perspective on market sentiment. Key Takeaways The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a popular momentum indicator that is used in technical analysis. The MACD is calculated by comparing exponential moving averages in a security's price. The MACD line is charted alongside a nine-day moving average of the MACD line, called the signal line, and a histogram representing the difference between these two curves. Traders use the MACD histogram to anticipate changes in market momentum. MACD analysis can still generate false price predictions. Experienced traders use additional metrics and fundamental analysis to support their forecasts.

Banknifty , Crude oil and Copper Divergence Divergence is a technical analysis concept that occurs when the price of an asset and a technical indicator move in opposite directions. It's a sign that the price of an asset may be reversing, and it can help traders recognize and react to price changes. Here are some things to know about divergence: #Types of divergence There are two types of divergence: negative and positive. Negative divergence happens when the price of a security is rising, but an indicator is falling. Positive divergence happens when the price of a security is falling, but an indicator is rising. #When to use divergence Divergence can help traders make decisions like tightening stop-loss or taking a profit. #How to confirm reversals Divergence can occur over a long period of time, so traders can use other tools like trendlines and support and resistance levels to confirm reversals. #When to use convergence Convergence is when the price of an asset, indicator, or index moves in the same direction as a related asset, indicator, or index

Life of a Trader / Option's // StocksEmotional reactions Overcoming your emotions is another hurdle you may encounter as a new trader. You may make impulsive decisions out of greed, fear, anger, frustration, or excessive optimism. This can lead to losses, which in turn can reduce your confidence. To ensure you don't fall into the trap of your emotions, chalk out a detailed and rule-based strategy and try to follow it strictly. Review your trades regularly to learn from your mistakes and build stable trading behaviour. You can keep a trading journal and implement stop-loss orders to reduce emotional influence on your trading decisions. Overtrading Another common challenge that can come your way is the temptation to overtrade. You may feel tempted to overtrade to earn higher earnings or overcome losses quickly. However, more trades don’t necessarily translate into more money. Overtrading can increase your risk exposure and increase transaction costs. To overcome the temptation to overtrading, you can set predefined limits on daily or weekly trades and take a break when you reach the limit. You must also ensure that you engage in trades that align with your strategy and do not prioritise quantity over quality. Impatience As a new trader, you may lack the patience to stick to your trading strategy, especially during market fluctuations. You may opt for premature exits if gains don't materialise as quickly as expected. However, success in trading does not come overnight. You must wait for the right opportunities and patiently endure losses and phases of stagnation. A solution to this problem is to have a solid trading strategy with clear entry and exit criteria. Have faith in your plan and give it the time to work. Avoid changing your strategy too often. Once you have a solid strategy, be patient, wait for the right time and grab your opportunity. Poor risk management The stock market is highly volatile and unpredictable. One day, a stock can rise by 20% and plummet suddenly the following day. Such frequent changes in the price of an asset can overwhelm you. It also makes it challenging to plan your strategy and manage risks. You may feel tempted to chase high returns and take excessive risks. However, this can wipe out your capital in no time. This is why risk management is important in trading. Make sure your trades align not only with your strategy but also your risk profile. Before placing a trade, analyse your risk-per-trade and reward-to-risk ratio. Diversify investments to spread risks across different sectors and assets to protect your capital. Include clear entry and exit points and an emergency way in your strategy. Using stop-loss orders can also help tackle risks and minimise losses. Conclusion The stock market is both alluring and daunting. Without proper knowledge and skills, you may incur losses and even quit prematurely if things don't go as expected. However, understanding the challenges beginners often face and learning to overcome them can illuminate your path to success.

Histogram(MACD) Divergence Trading Let us discuss the MACD indicator strategy and histogram. I know being a chartist you are familiar with this tool. Hence I hope this will be a revision for you. Assuming you already know this topic, you should know that MACD Histogram is derived from MACD. To me, it is the effect of MACD (cause), without which MACD Histogram would not have been born. I hope you can relate it to the previous paragraph. If not, no problem. Carry on reading. But before proceeding further I would request you to recapitulate MACD (moving average convergence divergence). Thanks for converging your thoughts with that of mine. I am glad. It will help me to explain this article without taking the additional burden. MACD Histogram Peak-Trough Divergence By now you must have understood how the histogram dances to the tunes of prices. If one looks at it closely then one can easily identify the divergences. You will notice that a peak and trough divergence is formed with two peaks or two troughs in the MACD Histogram. Usually, it can be segregated into two parts, i.e. bullish peak and trough divergence and bearish peak and trough divergence. Alright, I will explain you in short. Bullish Peak-Trough Divergence It is formed when MACD makes a lower low and on the contrary, MACD-Histogram makes a higher low. One thing you should keep in mind, i.e., well-defined troughs define the health of a bullish peak-trough divergence. bullish peak trough divergence Bearish Peak-Trough Divergence It is formed when MACD makes a higher high and on the contrary MACD Histogram makes a lower high. One thing you should keep in mind, i.e., well-defined peaks define the health of a bearish peak-trough divergence.

NiftyNifty through the week was within a falling channel making Lower Lows and Lower Highs. At close today it came into the PRZ of 3 Bullish Harmonic Patterns, namely, Shark, Bat & Gartley. If it were to reverse from this level it needs to survive above 11940 for an hour at least. Then it could move all the way back to test the falling channel at 111975-12025. From that range (or on failure to hold 11885) we could expect the next set of 3 Bullish Harmonic Patterns. namely, Alt Shark, Bat & AB=CD get active between 11830-11860 to conclude this slanting channel trend
