Beginners Guide to Market StructureMarket Structure is the most fundamental aspect of analysing charts, mastering it goes a long way in increasing one's reading of price. It provides us with a narrative with which to look at price. At a glance market structure looks quite simple but when studied in depth it has many nuances & can provide with very valuable information. Market structure is fractal in nature which means that the same pattern of price making higher highs & lower lows or vice versa repeats on all time frames. A bullish market structure on a higher time frame can have a bearish market structure on a lower time frame in its retracement leg. To analyse market structure a Top Down approach is used in which we start out by marking the structure on a higher time frame & then move down to lower time frames repeating the same process till we know where price is presently.

CHART TIMEFRAMES GUIDEHello mates and friends as we all know that there are multiple time frame charts we can use in trading like for technical chart analysis, chart patterns and taking a trade but sometimes I see that many of people are using wrong time frame chart for above mentioned things so here I want to try share some information based only on mine knowledge. 1- Monthly chart-: This chart is most oftentimes by long term or positional traders series of data points where each data point is comprised of the price movement for a single month of trading and allow traders to better see the larger trend picture and by the monthly time frame chart they are looking at several years+ worth of price action, and want to hold trades for about a year or more (often called ‘position trading‘). 2- Weekly chart-: This chart is also used by position based traders but for a less longer trend for that traders also who want to see a picture of trend on weekly basis likewise option sellers or option buyers too and do not want to sit in front of monitors for whole day and by looking at the weekly time frame chart they are looking at just a few years worth of price action, and want to hold trades for several months at a time, perhaps close to a year. 3-: Daily chart-: This chart I think is the most popular chart in trading community as per my knowledge and commonly used swing traders those who want to carry their trades for some days like one to eight or ten days, it can be used too for Buy today sell tomorrow or sell today buy tomorrow trades. 4-: Hourly charts-: this chart is commonly used by traders those who depict the price movement of a stock every hour and want to track any of security on hourly basis for pre confirmation a trend on this timeframe chart to their desired timeframe chart to take a position or trade. 5-: Minute chart-: like I am sharing 15 minute chart for example these 5 to 15 minute chart most commonly used by intraday traders and for those who want to focus on the large price movements throughout the day and They don't mind waiting longer for trades to open and close. They prefer cleaner movement and are likely after only one or two trades over multiple hours of trading.

Price Action Trading Using Supply & Demand ZonesSupply and Demand Trading Strategy is a price action strategy that focuses on identifying Institutional Buying & Selling Footprints on a Price Chart. This strategy doesn’t rely on any indicators or oscillators; entire focus is on Price Action. Owing to the sheer large size of their orders, Institutional buying or selling leaves behind certain footprints which create specific chart patterns. Price Action Trading Methodology relies on a vast number of Price Patterns, however Supply Demand Trading Methodology focuses only 4 Specific Price Formations. These are classified as Supply & Demand Zones. Supply & Demand Zones These zones are areas on a price chart where price in the past had spent very little time and had moved in an explosive manner. Such sharp moves in price is possible only because of Institutional buying or selling. Owing to the structure of these zones, there is a very high likelihood of having unfilled institutional orders in any zone. Demand Zone Formations Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) A Rally- Base- Rally is a price action pattern that represents the formation of a Demand Zone. It is generally found in strong uptrends, indicating a continuation of the uptrend. This type of pattern is characterized by a leg-in candle followed by a basing of candlesticks and then another Big Explosive leg-out candle. If you look at the leg out candle created in the chart below, it shows a strong vertical rally which is very likely due to institutional buying activity. Drop-Base-Rally (DBR) A Drop-Base-Rally is a formation that represents another Demand Zone pattern. It is a reversal formation, in which a drop is followed by a sideways price movement and then a strong bullish rally. The leg out candle ideally should be a big explosive move which will depict institutional buying activity. Supply Zone Formations Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) Drop-Base-Drop is a price action pattern that represents a Supply zone. A bearish drop followed by a basing or sideways price movement and then an explosive bearish continuation downwards. It is a continuation pattern which can be used to trade & participate in the down trend. Rally-Base-Drop (RBD) Rally-Base -Drop is a price action pattern that represents another supply zone. This formation is characterized by an upward move then a basing of candles and a strong explosive move downwards. Explosive drop after basing indicates the footprint of institutional selling activity. This formation is generally found at the end of an Uptrend signalling a reversal. Trade Action at Zones Supply & Demand trading methodology is a retracement strategy. Long trades can be initiated when price retraces to a Demand Zone & Short trades can be initiated when price retraces to a Supply Zone. However, all zone formations aren’t alike, one must qualify the zones based on factors like how Explosive was the move from the zone, how much time price spent in the zone & most importantly what Reward to Risk Ratios do they zones provide. These zone formations combined with Trend, Location & Multiple Time Frame Analysis lays down the ground rules for Supply Demand Trading.

5 Things to remember about bull marketsHey everyone! 👋 Bull markets are a time of optimism and growth, and they can be a great opportunity for making substantial gains. However, it's important to remember that bull markets don't last forever, and it's crucial to approach them with a healthy dose of caution while keeping your eye on your long-term goals. 🙂 Here are a few things to keep in mind when dealing with bull markets: 🚨 Don't get caught up in the speculative frenzy It's important to remain level-headed and avoid making impulsive decisions based on short-term gains. Take time to thoroughly research any trades you're considering. It’s always good to focus on ideas with strong fundamentals as well as technicals. 📚 Keep an eye on valuations In a bull market, it's common for stock prices to rise, sometimes to levels that may not be justified by a company's fundamentals. For investors, it can be important to keep an eye on valuations and make sure the stocks you're investing in are reasonably priced. 🔔 Be prepared for reversals Like all good things, the Bull markets too eventually come to an end. Hence, it's essential to be prepared for a downturn. It’s always good to manage risk exposure by employing techniques such as diversification and hedging. 💸 Control your risk It's natural to want to hold on to the positions that are performing well, but it's important to remember that bull markets eventually come to an end. If you've made substantial gains, trailing may be a good option to lock in profits should things change quickly. Letting the winners ride by continually trailing your positions is one good strategy for improving a trade’s Risk-Reward ratio. 📈 Keep a long-term perspective Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Bull markets can be a great opportunity for gains, but it's important to keep a long-term perspective about your goals. Did you miss the big moves? Don’t get angry and make bad decisions. There will be more opportunities down the road to apply what you’ve learned. Bull markets can provide excellent opportunities, however, they must be approached with caution and with defined personal goals. Consider the risks and rewards of each investment, keep an eye on valuations, and always be prepared for a downturn. We hope you enjoyed this post!

Wyckoff Phases in PracticeWe all know that market moves in Phases. The four most popular phases are – 1️⃣Accumulation 2️⃣Markup 3️⃣Distribution and 4️⃣Markdown Mr. Wyckoff analyzed these phases further, esp. Accumulation and Distribution, to understand the price behavior for potential opportunities to trade/invest in the market. In this tutorial I am going to have a brief discussion about Accumulation-sub-phases of the market with the help of an example that I came across today. ✅ Phase A 🚩Starts after a major downtrend. 🚩Begins with a selling climax (SC) - Large down bars with abnormally high volume (see B). 🚩SC is followed by the largest rally in the major downtrend, associated with good buying volume. This Automatic Rally (AR) represents the change in character (ChoC) of the market - buyers taking over. 🚩Market retest the level B with a lower volume (supply) – Secondary Test (see D). ✅ Phase B 🚩Usually the longest phase. 🚩High volume during rallies (eg. E) and lesser during retracements. 🚩Even if volume is high during retracements, price fails to make new lows. 🚩More secondary tests (see F) held at the support zone (B and D). 🚩Market consolidates testing supply and demand with no particular direction – Consolidation. ✅ Phase C 🚩The smallest but most important. 🚩Usually ends with a Spring (not in the above case). 🚩You would see final shakeout of weak buyers. Price dips underneath the support zone (B, D and F) and reverse sharply back above support. 🚩Perhaps the best time enter for those who like to take low risk high probability trades. 🚩In the above case G was just another test of support Zone. ✅ Phase D 🚩You would see swift action in this phase. Wide up bars (with high volume) and small down bars (with low volume). 🚩This also represents the change in character which now differs from the consolidation phase. 🚩ChoC - Notice two blue rectangles and the price action in them. 🚩Price breaks the resistance zone (mostly the high of automatic rally). 🚩It again retests this resistance which now starts acting as support. This is called the Backup action. 🚩This is perhaps the best time for those who like to enter after confirmation. ✅ Phase E 🚀Accumulation is over and a trend is established. Not all bear markets end with these accumulation-sub-phases. You may often see V-shaped recoveries just like what we experienced after March 2020 lows. But you will surely find some stocks or markets that moved in line with Wyckoff phases. Thanks for reading. Do like and comment. 📣Disclaimer: The views are personal and theoretical. Apply your own due diligence before making your investment decisions.

A little bit about volumes and the master of all averagesSo, let's refresh our knowledge from the previous posts (read part 1 and part 2 at the links): - The chart is based on the data from the tape; - The X-axis is the time scale, and the Y-axis is the price scale; - To avoid having to analyze a huge number of trades, interval charts were invented for convenience; - The most popular chart type is the Candlestick chart; - The candlestick consists of a body and shadows (upper and lower). The body is drawn at the open and close prices of the interval. The shadows are built by the maximum price (high), and the minimum price (low); - The time interval for one candle is called a time frame. The smaller the time frame, the more detailed information we get about the price changes. In addition to information about the price dynamics, from the stock chart, we can get information about the dynamics of trading volume. These are bars that we see below the candlesticks. They are also drawn on the basis of information from the tape. Let's return to our example: FB $110 20 lots 12/03/21 12-34-59 FB $115 25 lots 12/03/21 12-56-01 FB $100 10 lots 12/03/21 12-59-12 FB $105 30 lots 12/03/21 12-59-48 If you add up all the lots of trades in the interval from 12-00-00 to 12-59-59, we get 85 lots. Then the lots need to be multiplied by the number of stocks in one lot, for example, 100. It turns out that 8500 shares changed their owners in 1 hour. This information is displayed as a bar below each candlestick. My strategy does not use a trading volume analysis, but it is important to understand that increasing trading volumes are a sign of increasing attention to the stock. However, this attention does not always translate into higher prices. If there is negative news about a company, we will see both a drop in the stock price and an increase in volume. What is constantly used in my investment strategy is the moving average . What is it? This is the average of the close prices of a selected number of candles, starting with the last one. I use the average of the close values of the last 252 candlesticks. Why this number? The number 252 corresponds to the average number of trading days per year on the NYSE and the NASDAQ. That is, in fact, the average annual moving price . Why is it moving? Because every day there is a new candlestick with a new close value, and it begins a new calculation of the average value of the last 252 daily candlesticks. You can plot the moving average chart on a candlestick chart and see how far the current price has "run away" from the annual average price. I will tell you exactly how to apply this in investing in the next posts, and that's all for today. Finally, I will ask you to reflect on one thought: One who is true to the golden mean will always find something that someone else missed and give it to someone who is afraid to miss it. See you in future posts.

Japanese Candlesticks: Game of Body and ShadowsSo, in the last post we learned how to build a simple line chart based on the tape. Each point on the chart is defined by coordinates from the time (X scale) and price (Y scale) of a trade. But some stocks are traded at a frequency of hundreds of trades per second, at different prices. The question arises: which trade price to choose from this set? Interval charts were invented to solve this question. The most popular is the Candlestick Chart . They appeared in Japan three hundred years ago, when the Japanese exchanges were trading rice. They were invented by a trader named Homma. Apparently, being tired of drawing a lot of points on charts, he decided that it would be more convenient to show the price change over the time interval. So, what he came up with. Let's take a time frame equal to one hour and plot a 1-hour candle on the basis of the following tape: FB $110 20 lots 12/12/22 12-34-59 FB $115 25 lots 12/12/22 12-56-01 FB $100 10 lots 12/12/22 12-59-12 FB $105 30 lots 12/12/22 12-59-48 A candle consists of a body and upper and lower shadows. Like a float. The body is formed from the open and close prices of a certain time frame. In our case the hour interval is from 12-00-00 till 12-59-59. Only 4 deals were concluded in this time interval. The price of the first deal is $110, which is the opening price of the period or the so-called " open ". The price of the last deal was $105, which is the period closing price or " close ". These two prices are enough to form the body of the candle. Now let us move on to the shadows . The upper shadow is drawn at the maximum price of the interval (115$) and is called " high ". The lower shadow is drawn at the minimum price of the interval ($100) and is called " low ". The shape of our candle is ready. However, it should also have a content, namely the color. What is it for? Let's take a look at another candle. Here we can see where is the high and where is the low. But how do we know which is the open or the close? After all, the open is not always at the bottom of the candlestick body, as in the previous example, it can be at the top. To understand where is the open and where is the close, Homma has invented to paint the body of a candlestick in black, if close is lower than the open, i.e. if the price in the interval is falling (falling candle or bearish candle ). But if close is higher than open, the body of the candle remains white, it will indicate the growth of price during the interval (rising candle or bullish candle ). Sometimes a candlestick has shadows, and the close price is equal to the open price. Then it will look like a cross. This candlestick is called a doji . White and black are the classic colors for the bodies of Japanese candles. However, you can come up with your own colors. If you want the rising candles, for example, to be blue, and the falling orange - you're welcome. The main thing is to make it convenient and understandable for you. So, one candlestick allows us to understand where we had the first trade, the last trade, the price maximum and minimum in a given time frame. But it does not allow us to understand how the price changed within the interval: when the maximum or minimum was reached and what was happening within this price range. But the problem can be easily solved if we switch to a smaller time frame. If we look at the daily candlesticks (this is when the time frame of one candle is equal to one day), and we want to see what was during the day - we switch to the hourly time frame. If we want to see even more details - we switch to 15-minute candles and so on down to the seconds. But you and I will most often use daily timeframes, so as not to be distracted by the fluctuations that occur during the day. To be continued :)

The birth of the chart. The evolution of the tapeLast time we studied how the exchange price is formed, and we found out that it is important to learn how to read charts correctly in order to analyze price changes correctly. Let's see how a chart is made and what it can tell us. Everyone who went to school probably remembers: to draw a function, we need the X and Y axes. In stock charts, the X-axis is responsible for the time scale, and the Y-axis is responsible for the price scale. As we already know, a chart is built on the basis of data from a tape. At the previous post , we have produced the following tape: FB $110 20 lots FB $115 5 lots FB $100 10 lots Actually, in addition to ticker, price and volume the tape also fixes time of trade. Let's add this parameter to our tape: FB $110 20 lots 12/08/22 12-34-59 FB $115 5 lots 12/08/22 12-56-01 FB $100 10 lots 12/08/22 12-59-02 That's it. Now this data is enough to put points on the chart. We draw three points, connect them with straight lines and get a chart. At one time, this was enough, because trades on the exchange were not frequent. But now some popular stocks, such as Apple or Google, have hundreds of trades per second with different prices. If the minimum division on the X scale is one second, what price point should we put if there were many trades at different prices in one second? Or let's place all the points at once? We will discuss that in the next post. And now, as a postscript, I want to show you some pictures describing how the tape was born and evolved. Here is a picture of a stock player, looking through a tape with quotations, which is given by a special telegraph machine. Each telegraph machine is connected by wires which, like a spider's web, entangle New York City. 1930's broker's office with several telegraph machines and a quotation board. An employee of the exchange looking through a tape of quotes. It won't be long before all this is replaced by the first computers. We'll continue today's theme soon.

Right direction is more important than speedHello Friends, Hope you are doing well, Today I am sharing a very little and simple fact, which is very much needed to survive long life in market and to be a profitable trader in market, here we are talking about direction and speed because, when you’re heading towards right direction, every single step you take is real progress, but if you’re going in the wrong direction, every single step is pushing us in minus. Direction can be decided by analyzing charts and Speed (position sizing) is decided as per money management rules, One should always digest the initial level first, where he is, and also where he reaches next, one can only survive in market until capital is wiped out, so always remember, to save capital from losses is also gain. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step, make sure that first step is in the right direction. When making important decisions that have long-term implications like financial decisions, slow down and check carefully risk reward ratios and money management rules and carefully evaluate your available options before starting or executing it. This post is just for educational purpose, See you all next week. 🙂 RK 💕 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...! Disclaimer. I am not sebi registered analyst.

History of Stock Market Crashes In IndiaHistory of Stock Market Crashes In India In this post we'll go back in time and examine various known and unknown stock market crashes in India. When is it said that the stock market crashed? Every participant in the stock market has heard the term "stock market crash." But how many people understand what it really means? When the Nifty falls by more than 10% in 20 days. When the difference between a day's high and the next trading day's low is greater than 10%. When NIfty falls by more than 5% in a 9-day period. Crash of 1865 In India, the first recorded stock market crash occurred in 1865.At the time, India had no formal stock exchange.Some Gujarati and Parsi traders would mutually trade stocks of Indian companies at the corner of Meadows Street and Rampart Row. The American Civil War, which began in 1861, increased demand for cotton, which was a major export commodity for Indian companies at the time.The earnings from this boom were invested in the stock market, causing a buying and selling madness as well as an increase in speculation transactions. The Civil War ended in April 1865, resulting in a decrease in cotton demand and a stock market crash. Crash of 1992 The 1992 stock market crash may be the most well-known of all time. This was the first time that a major scam that include Rs. 5,000 crores or more had hit the Indian stock market. Mr. Harshad Mehta's planned security scam made contributions to the 1992 stock market crash. BSE fell by roughly 12%. The eventual bear market in the face of the scam lasted two years. It wiped out crores of rupees in the banking sector and is regarded as one of the worst time frames in Indian stock markets. Crash of 2004 The 2004 stock market crash was caused by the sudden fall of the NDA government, which resulted in a 15.52% drop in the Sensex. In terms of percentage, it is the largest fall in Indian stock market history. The fall of the government stimulated UBS, an institutional investor, to sell the shares, fearing political instability. Crash of 2008 The Sensex fell by around 1408 points on January 21, 2008, eroding investor wealth. This day is known as Black Monday, and analysts attribute the drop to a variety of factors. Factors such as a drop in interest rates, a lack of investor confidence, the sale of shares, and the exit of FIIs and Foreign Hedge Funds from risky emerging markets The stock markets encountered a continuous crash throughout the year, and it took approximately two years for the market to recover and return to pre-crash levels in September 2010. Crash of 2015 After a good run since the fall of 2008, the markets crashed again in 2015 against the backdrop of a falling Chinese economy. The Shanghai stock exchange fell by an unbelievable 8.5%, having caused the Indian stock market to fall well as. Other factors that led to this drop included poor income by major Indian companies. Crash of 2016 By the beginning of 2016, the Indian stock markets had fallen by approximately 26% over an 11-month period.The increase in bank NPAs, the decline in crude oil prices, the slowing of the Chinese economy, and general global weakness and lack of investor confidence all contributed to this drop. Crash of 2020 The rapid spread of COVID-19, that also resulted in a pandemic and globally lockdowns, caused a massive market crash in the global and Indian markets.The stock markets fell continuously for five days, marking the worst drop since the 2009 crash.This coincided with the Yes Bank crisis, which caused the strong BFSI sector to lose ground as well.

Divergence Cheat Sheet / Types of DivergenceWhat is divergence? Divergence is a method used in technical analysis when the direction of a technical indicator, usually some form of oscillator ‘diverges’ from the overall price trend. In other words, the indicator starts moving in the opposite direction to the price and the trading oscillator signals a possible trend reversal. Once divergence appears, there is a higher chance of a reversal, especially if divergence appears on a higher time frame. Oscillator indicator for divergence patterns is Weis Wave Volume, macd, the RSI, CCI, or stochastic OBV. Types of divergences There are 4 types of divergence, which are broadly classified into two categories: 1) Regular or Classic Divergence 2) Hidden Divergence With each of these two categories, you have a bullish or a bearish divergence. Therefore, the four types of divergences are summarized as: 1) Regular Bullish Divergence 2) Regular Bearish Divergence 3) Hidden Bullish Divergence 4) Hidden Bearish Divergence Divergence patterns indicate that a reversal is coming soon and becoming more likely but this is not an instant change. The more divergence there is visible, the more likely a reversal does become. Here are some guidelines: The entry can not be taken on the basis of divergence indicator alone. It’s best if a trader mixes the divergence indicator pattern with their strategy. Use Higher time Frames.

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. Overall, the majority of traders make losses because they fail to prepare for the challenges of the market. By educating themselves, developing a solid trading plan, and planning out decisions beforehand, traders can improve their chances of success and avoid common pitfalls. We hope you enjoyed this post.

Guide to Recession - What Is It? Recession is a scary word for any country An economic recession occurs when the economy shrinks. During recessions, even businesses close their doors. Even an individual can see these things with his own eyes: 1. People lose their jobs 2. Investment lose their value 3. Business suffers losses Note: The recession is part of an economic cycle. If you haven't read that article, you can check it below: What is the Recession? Two consecutive quarters of back-to-back declines in gross domestic product constitute a recession. The recession is followed by the peak phase. Even if a recession lasts only a few months, the economy will not reach its peak after serval years when it ends. Effect on supply & Demand - The demand for goods decreased due to expensive prices. Supply will keep increasing, and on the other hand, demand will begin to decline. That causes an "excess of supply" and will lead to falling in prices. A recession usually lasts for a short period, but it can be painful. Every recession has a different cause, but they have the main reason for the cause of the recession. What is depression? - A deep recession that persists for a long time eventually leads to depression. During a recession, the inflation rate goes down. How to avoid recession? 1. Monetary Policy - Cut interest rates - Quantitative easing - helicopter money 2: Fiscal policy - Tax Cut - Higher government spending 3: higher inflation target 4: Financial stability Unemployment : We know that companies are healthy in expansion, but there is a saying, "too much of anything can be good for nothing." During peak, The company is unable to earn the next marginal dollar. Companies are taking more risk and debt to reset the growth Not only companies but investors and debtors also invest in risky assets. Why does lay-off occur? After the peak phase, companies are unable to earn the next marginal dollar. Now, the business is no more profitable. CCompaniesstart to reduce their costs to enter into a profitable system. For example - Labour Now, Companies are working with fewer employees. Fewer employees must work more efficiently. Otherwise, they may be lay-off by the company too. You can imagine the workload and pressure. You may argue that they should leave the company! Really? Guys, we just discussed the employment rate declines. How will you get a job when there is no job? Now, you get it! Let's assume the effects of the recession on the common man: Condition 1: He may be laid off. Condition 2: Perhaps he will be forced to work longer hours. The company is unable to maintain a positive outlook. Fewer employees are doing more work due to massive lay-off. His wages decline, and he has no disposable income. As a result, consumption rates are reduced, resulting in lower inflation rates. A slowdown in the economy is caused by lower prices, which decrease profits, resulting in more job cuts. Four Causes of Recession: 1. Economic Shocks 2. Loss of Consumer 3. High-interest rates 4. Sudden stock market crash 1) Economic shocks - When there is an external or economic shock the country faces. For example, COVID-19, 2) Consumer confidence - Negative perception about the economy and the company from consumers who lack confidence in their spending power. Instead of spending, they will choose to save money. As there is no spending, there is no demand for goods and services. The absence of spending results in a lack of demand for goods and services. 3) High-interest rates - High-interest rates will reduce spending. Loans are expensive, so few people take them out. Consumer spending, auto sales, and the housing market will be affected. There can be no good demand if there is no lending. There will be a decline in production. 4) Sudden stock market crash - evade people's trust in the stock market. As a result, they do recall their money and emotion drives them crazy. It can also be considered a psychological factor. As a result, people will not spend money and GDP will decline. Consumer Spending: During the recession, consumers don’t have additional income called disposable income. Consumer spending parts -- Durable goods - Lasts for more than one year -- Non-durable goods - Lasts for less than one year -- Service - Accounting, legal, massage services, etc Durable goods surfer during the recession. Non-durable goods are recession-proof because their day-to-day fundamentals are not affected by recessions. Let's take an example of two stocks, ABC Food vs ABC car But, will you stop buying food because of the recession? Will you reduce your consumption of toothpaste, bread, and milk? The answer is "NO". Consumers buy the same amount of food in good or bad times, On the other hand, consumers only trade in or trade off their car purchase when they are not only employed but optimistic about the safety of their jobs & confident that they could get a promotion or a high paid job with another employer. And People's disposable income is absorbed during the recession. Consumer spending is the crucial point to displacing recession. Auto sales: As we discussed, few people buy cars during a recession. New car sales count as economic growth. You may have heard about 0% loans. The company facilitates a 0% loan to increase auto sales. Mostly, people repair their cars or buy old cars during the recession. You may see a boost in the used car market and spare parts selling companies’ sales. Home sales/housing markets: I have a question now! Which is your biggest asset? Most of you will say, my home! New home sales are part of economic growth. Also, house price impact how wealthy consumer feel. Higher the home prices, the more they feel rich, and vice versa. When home prices are higher, consumers feel they are wealthy and they are willing to spend. But when house price declines, they reduce spending/consumption. If your biggest asset price declines, you don’t spend and the economy takes a longer time to recover. A higher rate stops increasing the home price because they have to pay more EMI. central bank reduces rates during the recession, and the housing market rate boosts because the loan/EMI is cheap. Interest rates: Generally, interest rates decline during a recession. Central banks cut interest rates that’s why loans become cheap. Benefits of Lower interest rates - - - Boost in the housing market. - - Increase sales of durable goods - - Boost in business investment - - Bonds and interest rates have an inverse relationship. An economic downturn tends to bring investors to bonds rather than stocks, which can perform well in a recession. - - During the recession, interest rates are lower and banks highers the criteria for getting loans, so that people can face the abstracts while lending money. Stock Market: I want to clarify that, the stock market is not an economy. The economic cycle is lagging behind the market cycle and sentiment cycle. It gives me a chill as a technical analyst and a sad moment as an economics lover. Sometimes it's ahead, and sometimes it's behind. Recession = bear market . Recession-Proof Industries: * Consumer staples * Guilty pleasures * Utilities * Healthcare * Information technology * Education I will write about this in the future, but for the time being, let's get back to technical analysis .

Market order or the hunger games of stock tradingThe previous parts of the post can be found at the links: Part 1 - How is the share price formed on the stock exchange? We do it Part 2 - Bid/Offer: The Yin and Yang of Stock Prices So, let's continue. So why don't we ever see some orders in the order book? Because such orders don't have a price, which means they can't be arranged in a book where all orders are sorted by price. This type of order is used by buyers or sellers who don't want to wait for a counter offer with a suitable price. "But how can you buy or sell something without specifying a price?" - you ask. It turns out it's possible. When you put out an order without specifying a price, the order simply "eats up" the number of lots you need at the prices currently on the books. Such an order is called a " market order ". We can say that the most "hungry" investors who want to satisfy their "hunger" right now use the market order. Remember yourself: when you really want, for example, a cake, you won't stand at the counter and wait for the seller to set the price you want, you'll just buy the cake at the price that's valid at the moment. So, let's imagine that someone sent the following order to the exchange: " to sell FB stocks in the volume of 20 lots". Such an order will not appear in the book, but it will "eat" all bids within 20 lots, starting with the most expensive ones. In our example, there were a total of 15 lots left in the book, so the following concluded trades will be printed in the tape: FB $115 5 lots FB $100 10 lots What will happen to the remaining market order of 5 lots (20-15) that couldn't be filled? The exchange will cancel the order for this remainder, as there are no counter offers in the book. So, let's review what we learned in the current series of posts: - For each company, the exchange maintains its own order book for buying and selling stocks; - A buy order is called a "bid"; - A sell order is called an "offer"; - The order must contain the ticker (abbreviated name of the stock), the direction of the transaction (buy or sell), the price per share and the volume in lots; - The lot size is set by the exchange. It may be equal to 1 share, 100 shares or some other quantity; - All orders in the book are called "limit orders"; - There is a special type of orders, which are called "market orders". They have the following parameters: ticker, trade direction, volume in lots, and have no "price" parameter. - The intersection of buy and sell orders by price creates a trade; - The volume and price of a trade depends on how much volume was "eaten" in the counter offer and at what price; - The trade is recorded in the tape. Each company has its own tape. By the way, our book became empty because all limit orders were filled and no new ones came in. As a result, we have a tape of three trades. The trades are recorded in the tape according to when they were made: FB 110$ 20 lots FB 115$ 5 lots FB $100 10 lots So, when you see a flashing stock price somewhere, like in the broker's app, know that it's the last trade in the tape as of the current second. Or if you hear that Tesla stock has reached $2,000 a share, that means that there's a $2,000-a-share deal imprinted in the Tesla tape. To show how the stock price has changed over time, a chart is made based on the prices of the trades and when they were made. At its core, a chart is a demonstration of how the stock tape has changed over time. Knowing how to read a price chart is a basic skill that you will use as you invest. I will tell you how to read charts at our next meeting.

Trends- Based on Price MovementUptrend- In an uptrend, both the peaks (tops) and troughs (bottoms) of a stock chart keep increasing successively. So, every day or so, the stock price touches a new high and falls lower than it did previously. Don’t be a mistake; this need not be a lifetime high. It could be the highest the stock touched in the past few days, weeks, or months too. This steady rise in tops and bottoms indicates that the market has a positive sentiment. It expects the stock has a higher chance to appreciate more than depreciate. So, more investors buy, thus driving the price higher. Similarly, each time the stock falls, investors see it as an opportunity to buy even more. They don’t wait for it to fall to the previous level. They buy the stock before that. This arrests the fall. Sideways- In a sideways trend, a stock doesn’t move notably in either direction during an extended period. Peaks and troughs continue to be constant and there is no significant move to decide whether to buy a stock or not. A sideways trend occurs when the force of demand & supply are nearly equal. A sideways trend is also called a ‘horizontal trend’. In this trend stock trading between two parallel horizontal support and resistance lines with less movement. Downtrend- A downtrend is a pattern, where a stock is falling constantly. Not only are successive peaks lower, but successive troughs are also lower. This means that investors in the market are convinced that the stock will fall further. Each little rise in the stock’s price is used by investors to sell their existing quota of shares. No further buying takes place at these levels. Such a stock must not be bought, no matter how much its price has fallen especially if you are a short-term investor. If you are a long-term investor, you may want to wait until the stock price falls further.

Bid/Offer: The Yin and Yang of Stock PricesRead the first part of this post at the link: How is the share price formed on the stock exchange? We do it So at what price and what volume will the deal eventually be made? To understand this, let's go back to the "price" parameter of the order. When a buyer placed an order "to buy 25 lots at $115 a share", the exchange takes it as "to buy 25 lots at a price not more than $115 a share". That is the purchase price can be less than the price stated in the order, but not more. And when the seller earlier submitted an order "to sell 20 lots at $110 a share", the exchange takes it as "to sell 20 lots at a price not less than $110 a share". That is, it is possible to sell at a price higher than that specified in the order, but not less. Once again: buyers always put orders "buy at no more than such-and-such a price", and sellers always put orders "sell at no less than such-and-such a price". So, we return to the situation with the crossing of prices. When the exchange detects a crossover, it begins to execute the order that has caused this crossover. In our case, it is an order for 25 lots at $115 per share. This order kind of "eats up" all sell orders that are on the way to the price of $115 (that is, everything cheaper than $115), until it reaches 25 lots. Which orders were "eaten up" in our case? One single order to sell is 20 lots at $110 per share. What was "eaten" is recorded as a buy and sell trade in what's called a tape. It's similar to the way a cash register punches a check with a price. The record looks like this: FB $110 20 lots However, we have a remainder after the trade is 5 lots, the remainder of those 25 at a price of $115. Since at this price (or lower) nothing can be "eaten", the order remains in the left page of the book until a suitable offer. Let's see how the FB order book looks now, after the deal is done: Let me note again that all orders in the book are sorted in descending order from top to bottom. The concept of "book" is very useful for understanding how the exchange price is formed. In the past, when there were no electronic trading systems, there were so-called floor brokers, who used to collect and record prices and volumes of orders in a real book. Nowadays you may encounter alternative terms like Depth of Market (DOM), Level II, but they are all identical to the notion of an "order book". The orders to buy that we see in the order book are called "bids", and the orders to sell are called "offers". So, in our order book there are two bids and no offers. All bids and offers are called "limit orders" because they have a price limit. But there's also a type of order that we will never see in the book. Why? I'll tell you in the next post.

Volume price analysis & Volume Divergence Cheat sheetWhat makes volume price analysis so crucial? Volume and price analysis play a major role in trading and investing. Volume analysis helps traders and investors identify whether there is significant interest in a particular security. It also helps to identify potential buying and selling pressure, which can be useful in predicting future price movements. Price analysis helps to identify trends and price patterns, which can be useful in making trading and investing decisions. Volume and price analysis are important tools that can be used to spot trading opportunities and make sound decisions. 2 important things to keep in mind when analysing volume: 1. An increase in volume shows that market players are eager to participate in the developing market activity and want to see the price move higher in an uptrend or lower in a downtrend and are willing to buy higher in an uptrend or sell lower in a downtrend. 2. A drop in volume shows that traders are less interested in seeing prices rise in an uptrend or fall in a downtrend and are more eager to purchase lower in an upswing and sell higher in a downtrend. Volume Divergence: It is essential to check whether price and volume patterns are similar when comparing them. In that case, there is a good chance that the trend will continue. A volume divergence occurs when price and volume diverge, which indicates that the underlying trend may not be as strong. According to my observations, whenever a stock is trading at a high volume, it seems to strongly trend either upward or downward. Here are some important concepts in volume price analysis: 1.When the price of a stock rises with increased volume, it indicates that the bull trend is stronger and buyers are interested, and this is a trend continuation signal. 2. If the stock price rises but volume decreases, it indicates that the bull trend is weakening and may reverse, and buyers are not interested. Price and volume divergence suggest a trend reversal. 3. If the price is falling while the volume is increasing, it indicates that the bearish trend is quite strong and sellers are active. 4. if the price is falling and the volume is decreasing, it indicates that the bearish trend is weakening and will soon reverse, signifying divergence between price and volume and a trend reversal.
