Trading Style verses Trading TimeframeHi all 👋 We all know about three types of trading styles -- investment, swing trading and day trading. Yet most traders remain confused when it comes to trading timeframes. Through this post I just want to eliminate this confusion once and for all. Let us understand some basics.... ✅ Anchor Chart This is the chart used to determine the trend of the market. It conveys a trader whether the market is in uptrend, downtrend or sideways. It sets a bias for the trader. It also conveys us the information about the major support and resistance levels. These levels may provide excellent trading opportunities in future. ✅ Trading Chart Now that we know the trend through the Anchor chart, we have to take our trading decisions. Anchor chart is too big to take trading decisions. Reason being your stop loss would be too wide if you trade on the basis of Anchor chart, so we have to shift to a lower timeframe. This time frame is usually 4-5 times lower than the Anchor chart time frame. This lower time frame helps a trader to pinpoint his entries and decide upon his stop-loss to avoid unacceptable losses. Also minor support and resistance levels are more clear on this chart. ✅It is your trading style which determines your trading timeframe. For more clarity, refer the chart above. ⏰ Bro tip 🚩Anchor chart helps you to trade in the direction of trend. 🚩When the trend is up on the anchor chart we should look for only buy set-ups on the trading time frame. 🚩When trend is down on anchor chart, we should look for only selling opportunities on trading time frame. 🚩When trend is side ways, buy at the support and sell at the resistance. Hope this post will be useful for some traders and to the very least reduce the confusion regarding timeframes. Thanks for reading @Bravetotrade

Bitcoin Drops Following Powell's Inflation✅✅✅Bitcoin Drops Subsequent To Powell’s Inflation Remarks ✅ In the previous day, the price of Bitcoin fell by 6.3%. The majority of cryptocurrencies also lost value after Powell’s remarks. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fell on Friday as traders reacted to hawkish remarks made by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell during a major address at the Jackson Hole economic summit, an event that had dominated the markets all week. The price of Bitcoin dropped 6.3% in the last day to $20,251.34, returning it to a weekly low that had been left behind in the prior days’ gradual rise. Drastic Down on Crypto Market At its upcoming meeting in September, the Federal Open Market Committee will decide whether to raise rates by 50 or 75 basis points. Powell said the decision will depend on the totality of the incoming data and the evolving outlook. The Fed chair predicted that successful inflation control would most likely lead to slower economic growth for a sustained period. Interest rates would have to remain there for a long time in order to achieve that, he cautioned. Powell forecasted some pain for consumers and companies as well as quite likely some deterioration of labor market conditions. He continued, Failure to restore pricing stability will result in much worse suffering. Following Powell’s speech, the majority of cryptocurrencies likewise decreased in value, with FLOW, the 24-hour loss at 11%. The market cap of Ether (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency after bitcoin, decreased by 8.5%. The News Crypto ✅✅✅

Important types of chartsHey everyone! In this post, we are going to talk about different types of charts that are used in technical analysis. Please remember this is an educational post to help all of our members better understand concepts used in trading or investing. This in no way promotes a particular style of trading! Charts are used to illustrate change in prices over different time frames. It’s a graphical method of showing the historical price information. Charts are two-dimensional and have an x-axis (horizontal) and a y-axis (vertical). The x-axis generally represents time whereas the y-axis indicates the price. 👉 Line chart • “Line charts” are formed by connecting the closing prices of a specific stock over a given period of time. • It is particularly useful for providing a clear visualisation of the underlying trend. • It only considers the “closing value” of the stock and ignores the open, high, and low values. • Since it only uses the closing prices, hence it less noisy as compared to candlestick or bar charts. 👉 Bar chart • A bar shows the high price for the period at the top and the lowest price at the bottom of the bar. • Each bar displays the open, high, low, and close prices (OHLC). • Small lines on either side of the vertical bar serve to mark the opening and closing prices. • The opening price is marked by a small tick to the left of the bar; the closing price is shown by a similar tick to the right of the bar. 👉 Candlestick chart • A candlestick chart provide visual insight to current market psychology. • It displays the open, high, low, and closing prices (OHLC). • The rectangular section of the candles is called the real body, which is the range between the session’s open and close. • Bearish candle- When the close of the session is lower than the open. • Bullish candle- When the close of the session is higher than the open. • The thin lines on each side of the candle are called the wicks/shadows and they represent the session’s price extremes. 👉 Heikin Ashi chart • Heikin Ashi uses a modified formula of close-open-high-low (COHL). • Normal candlesticks keep changing colour depending on the OHLC even if the price is moving heavily in one direction. But the Heikin Ashi candles stay predominantly mono-coloured during trends. • Candles with no lower "shadows" indicate a strong uptrend. • Candles with no upper "shadows" indicate a strong downtrend. • Candles with a small body surrounded by upper and lower shadows indicate a trend change. 👉 Renko chart • A new brick is created when the price moves a specified price amount. The brick only forms on the chart once the price has moved the set amount. • A brick can be of any size (called the box size). Box size can be set manually or it can be calculated using the Average True Range (ATR). • There is a time axis on Renko charts, however, the time scale is flexible. This means that the bricks are not formed at an equal pace. • Renko charts typically only use closing prices and mitigate the noise to a higher extent, making trend identification easier. 👉 Kagi chart • When the price of the asset rises above the previous high price, a thick line is formed, signalling an increase in the demand. • When the price drops below the previous low, a thin line is formed to indicate an increased supply. • When there is a price reversal of a certain threshold amount, the chart starts to reverse the direction. • Swing highs are called shoulders and the swing lows are called waists. • Rising shoulders = Bullish. Falling waists = Bearish 👉 Point and Figure chart • A P&F chart is used to visualize price movements and trends without any dependence on time. • It makes use of columns made up of stacked Xs or Os, where each one stands for a specific amount of price change. • In general, X illustrates rising price, while O represents a falling price (Some people use the reverse too). • Point and Figures also emphasize on the closing prices only. Thanks for reading! Hope this was helpful! See you all next week. 🙂 – Team TradingView Feel free to check us out on Twitter , Instagram , and YouTube for more awesome content! 💘

Elliott Wave PatternsTried to capture Elliott Wave Theory Patterns:- Elliott Wave Theory is named after Ralph Nelson Elliott (28 July 1871 – 15 January 1948). 3 Cardinal Rules of the Elliott Wave Theory Rule Number #1: Wave 3 can NEVER be the shortest impulse wave Rule Number #2: Wave 2 can NEVER go beyond the start of Wave 1 Rule Number #3: Wave 4 can NEVER cross in the same price area as Wave 1 Wave 2 will develop into a zigzag, flat, or combination. Wave 2 cannot be a triangle in its entirety Wave 4 will develop into a zigzag, flat, combination, or Triangle. On rare occasions, Wave 5 will not move beyond the pivot of wave 3. This is known as Truncation Ratios:- Ratios for Wave 2 Fibonacci Rule for Wave 2: Wave 2 is always related to Wave 1. Common Ratios for Wave 2: Wave 2 = either 50% of Wave 1 or 62% of Wave 1 Ratios for Wave 3 Wave 3 is related to Wave 1 by one of the following: Wave 3 = either 1.62 x length of Wave 1 or 2.62 x length of Wave 1 or 4.25 x length of Wave 1 The most common multiples are 1.62 and 2.62. However, if the 3rd Wave is an extended wave, then 2.62 and 4.25 ratios are more common. Ratios for Wave 4 Wave 4 is related to Wave 3 by one of the following: Wave 4 = either 24% of Wave 3 or 38% of Wave 3 or 50% of Wave 3 The 24% and 38% are the most common ratios for Wave 4 Ratios for Wave 5 Wave 5 has two different relationships. Both are shown below. If Wave 3 is greater than 1.62 or extended, then Wave 5 ratios are as follows: Wave 5 either = Wave 1 or = 1.62 x Wave 1 or = 2.62 x Wave 1 Wave 5 Extended if Wave 3 is less than 1.62 X Wave One 5 = .62 X Length of 0 to 3 5 = 1 X Length of 0 to 3 5 = 1.62 X Length of 0 to 3 If Wave 3 is less than 1.62, Wave 5 ratios are as follows: When Wave 3 is less than 1.62, the 5th Wave overextends itself. From research, the ratio of Wave 5 will be based on the entire length from the beginning of Wave 1 to the top of Wave 3. Extended Wave 5 = either 0.62 x length (beginning of Wave 1 to top of Wave 3) or = length of (beginning of Wave 1 to top of Wave 3) or = 1.62 x length of (beginning of Wave 1 to top of Wave 3) Regards, SG

Diamond Chart PatternDiamond Chart Pattern in Classic Technical Analysis is associated with Trend Reversal. However, in Elliot Wave it may act as a Trend Continuation pattern. In this case the pattern mostly occurs in wave B. Since this is a very powerful pattern which occurs rarely, should not be missed as gives a very fast move. The pattern occurred in Adani Enterprises Hourly chart and the targets were achieved in a flash. Sometimes, it is better to keep all patterns handy. Happy Trading

Types of participants in the derivatives marketHey everyone! Last week we talked about the basics of derivatives and what all different derivative instruments are available in the markets. In this post, we will talk about the types of people who use derivatives and why they exist. There are broadly three types of participants in the derivatives market: → Hedgers → Traders (also called speculators) → Arbitrageurs. An individual may play different roles at different times. Hedgers → They employ derivatives to mitigate the risk they suffer from fluctuations in the pricing of the underlying assets. → Institutions such as investment banks, central banks, hedge funds, etc. all use derivatives to hedge or reduce their exposures to market variables such as currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity values, bond prices, and commodity prices. Speculators/Traders → The speculators are primary participants in the futures market. → They try to predict the future movements in prices of underlying assets and position themselves accordingly. → Speculators can be individual traders, proprietary trading firms, hedge funds, or market makers. Arbitrageurs → Arbitrage is a deal that produces profit by exploiting a price difference in a product in two different markets. → Arbitrage occurs when a trader executes a simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different markets in order to gain from tiny price differences between them. → The arbitrage trade is often short lives because the arbitrageurs would rush in executing these transactions, thereby closing the price gap at different locations.

Trading with the Buy Sell Signal Indicator with More accuracy Using Indicators to Display Buy and Sell Signals It's difficult to tell which ones to trade and which ones to avoid on the chart, so this is my idea of how I traded with this indicator when I was new to trading. I hope you enjoy it. Plot two indicators : (1) Buy Sell Indicator (2) Option Volume Indicator (it consists of average RSI and it has already included a lot of confirmation) / You can use your own indicator as well. Strategy : - Go for this signal with STOPLOSS nearest Swing and target minimum to 1: 2 once the Pivot UP arrow appears on the chart and the volume indicator is showing faint aqua color, and vice versa for the Short signal (Faint Red volume). Never trade if the volume is showing Black Candles in Option Volume Indicator . or - Whenever Signal Appears on chart wait for next candle to break the high/Low of signal candle - Small traders can use the candle's low as a stop loss. Don't Break Rules : - If signals appear on the chart, the volume indicator is showing a faint color, and the subsequent volume candle is dark, close the trade in your favor. - Avoid trading every signal as doing so will result in the loss of your capital; instead, wait for the right opportunity. - Once you are in profit, you should always trail Stoploss rather than book because it always increases your profit. I hope you enjoy trading with my signals. Message me with any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. & Back Test it

Trading: Ideal Patterns and Behavior✅Almost all traders read books and tutorial over the internet regarding technical analysis and patterns. After reading a lot of literature, traders start believing that some patterns ought to work 100% of the times. But according to my personal experience, this is just a mistaken belief. ✅The chart patterns are based upon human psychology, which the pioneers of technical analysis claim that never changes. But in my humble opinion, different human beings have different psychology in life as well as in trading. Not only that, the trading behavior of one particular trader might be different at different occasions. ✅But does that means we should not rely upon technical analysis at all? ✅In order to settle this dilemma, I must say that 'adaptation' is the best strategy one can add in his/her quiver. Seeking ideal behavior is perfectly fine but when things deviate from theory, we must adapt to the psychological behavior of the traders/investors. ✅Yes, this puts into practice a widely accepted truth that trading is more than 70% psychology. ✅As as example, the stock above never retested the resistance zone, which was an ideal behavior to test buyers at a level which once was a resistance. But it never happened and the stock gave a very strong move after the breakout. ✅A stubborn pullback trader would miss a nice 25% leg in this case. But if he adapts to the buyers' psychology, who were so eager to buy this stock, he would look for opportunities on smaller timeframes with minimum risk and huge potential for momentum. Determination is a wonderful disposition but obstinate determination may hurt, both in trading or in life too. I hope it was useful. Thanks for reading.

One chart, different trading systems!Hi all, hope you guys are doing well. We retailers spend a lot of time in searching for that "holy grail" in trading. The majority of the time our search is centered around different strategies. However, in my opinion, "Strategy is overvalued whereas risk management is undervalued" . A chart can be analyzed in different ways by different traders. A trader using patterns will analyze the same chart with a different perspective as opposed to a trader using pure support-resistance levels or a trader using indicators such as moving averages. The aim of this post is just to make you understand that you shouldn't run after different systems. Rather, focus on managing the risk. Exhibit 1: The Cup and Handle system Exhibit 2: The Support-Resistance system Exhibit 3: The Triangle pattern system Exhibit 3: The Moving averages system Thanks for reading. I hope you found this helpful! 😊 Disclaimer : This is NOT investment advice. This post is meant for learning purposes only. Invest your capital at your own risk. Happy learning. Cheers!

Trading Decision Flowchart - Checklist Before placing tradeTrading Decision - Checklist Before placing trade Traders always encounter a thought when analyzing their trade history - I would have been in this much profit if I had avoided this particularly trade/trades(mostly losing trades). There are many reasons behind why traders take up some trades which they should not be taking - reason could be fear of missing out, recovering losses, revenge trading or simply boredom trade. One of the essential thing needed to become a good successful trader is to avoid certain trades where - You don't have conviction - You are Over-trading/Revenge trading - You have already lost your day's worth of losing limit you have set for yourself - You don't have proper setup - You don't have a Good Risk Reward Ratio - Target does not look easy - Trade does not fit on your trading rules - and so on. Traders should try to avoid these trades- one such tool which will be useful will be a trading checklist - which should be checked before placing any trade. This idea is to share one such checklist that I use for trading NIFTY/BANKNIFTY options.I hope this is useful to some folks out here. Cheers, Santosh

Basing and Breakout formation Basing : Its accumulation phase where smart money comes in, it acts as a base. Here price may follow the previous trend or shows reversal Always take partial position, don't get trap by infusing entire position. Volume activity remains low and you may see some heavy buying at support. Psychology : participants are not ready to participate actively, it lacks enthusiasm. Breakout phase : Here, It may break the support or resistance The bigger the base, the stronger the rally can be. If it breaks resistance add up your position and if it breaks support cut out your position. Psychology : Here you will see the moment in price activity with higher spikes in volume. Here they get the direction.

Maintaining Trading Journal.Maintaining Trading Journal :- Maintaining Trading Journal is one of the key aspect of becoming a good trader. This is something which I have struggled to do- I always planned to keep a trading journal but after sometime I failed to maintain it or continue it(Mainly due to the losses that I incurred in between which am really not motivated to write down). However after some time I have realized that without a journal or written records I tend to repeat the same mistakes again and again. So after spending some time on how to make a journal and looking at several templates online/copying them - I have set one for me. This idea is to share the template to everyone. There are three sections of journals:- 1. Trade inputs :- Inputs related to trade 2. Technical Characteristics - Columns which can be calculated using a formula and they can give some insights. 3. Takeaways from the trade:- Kind of diary to record your thought process around this trade. Strategy/ Rules/Reasons of exit/Mistakes /Learnings etc. I hope this can help you to some extent. ** Please Note:- Content entered there is completely random and sample data.

How to Play Inverse Head & ShoulderHead and shoulder is a very popular chart pattern among traders. which is a continuation pattern. Many traders get it incorrectly they try to find Head and Shoulder in an up trend and Inverse Head and Shoulder in down trend , you need to do it correctly for better results. Here I do this analysis in three parts. Step 1 : Previous trend should be bullish for Inverse H&S and bearish for H&S , I am sharing pictures please check this out. Here you can see the pattern is good but the previous trend is bearish so avoiding such setups is a good choice. and Check this setup Step 2 : Head , shoulders and neckline should be proper I see many traders do it incorrectly, this pattern is clearly visible by itself without drawing a single line you can identify it. Premium Advise : If you find it very difficult to identify proper head , shoulder and neckline then avoid this setup. Step 3 : If you identified a proper setup , then wait for a breakout confirmation do not jump directly wait for closing of the current candle. The higher high closing is a good signal. Then check out the risk reward you are getting if SL is small and potential target you expecting is big (at least double compare to risk) then the trade is worth taking otherwise avoid.

Types Of Trader (What Types Of Trader Are You? )Thank You For Giving Giving Me So Much Support Hopefully You Also Give Support To This Idea Lets Move To The Idea And Tell Me Which Type Of Trader You are Tell Me In the Comment. There Is Four Type Of Trader. The First Type Of Trader Is Day Trader: Day trader refers to the market operator who indulges in day trading. A day trader buys and subsequently sells financial instruments like stocks, currencies, or futures and options within the same trading day, which means all the positions that he creates are closed on the same trading day. The Second Type Of Trader Is Swing Trader: Swing trading is a style of trading that attempts to capture short- to medium-term gains in a stock (or any financial instrument) over a period of a few days to several weeks. Swing traders primarily use technical analysis to look for trading opportunities The Third Type Of Trader Is The Position Trader: A position trader buys an investment for the long term with the expectation that it will appreciate in value. This type of trader is less concerned with short-term fluctuations in price and the news of the day unless they alter the trader's long-term view of the position. And The Last Types Of Trader Is Investor: An investor is an individual that puts money into an entity such as a business for a financial return. The main goal of any investor is to minimize risk and maximize return. It is in contrast with a speculator who is willing to invest in a risky asset with the hopes of getting a higher profit. Thank You For Giving Me Your Precious Time I Will Meet You In The Next Idea And Pls Me Your Full Support Bye Bye For Now I Will Meet You In The Next Idea Pls Like And Follow Me.

ABC Pattern- Optimal Entry TechniquesHi, This idea is about the very promising ABC pattern and the most optimal ways to enter into this pattern. ✅ABC Pattern This is considered as a continuation pattern. There has to be a strong trend up/down in the background. Wave A: Minor correction against larger trend, usually not more than 5-10% Wave B: Another attempt to push the price higher but could not break the previous highs Wave C: breaks the low A but has less momentum than wave A. Weak stops are taken below A I am presenting four techniques of entering into this pattern, in the anticipation of a continuation of the prevailing trend. The techniques used, however, depend upon the traders' appetite and temperament. Let's start.. ✅Minimum Risk Entry >The entry point is near the low C >C should have less momentum than A >Price barely breaks the low A >There are wicks at the low of Candles at C >Stop is placed under the low of C, so less risk more reward potential ✅Confirmed Entry >Entry is at the break of swing high B >The price makes a higher-high so structural change is confirmed >The break often comes with good volumes & strong closing candles >SL under C is wider than 1 in this case >This technique is used when, in wave C, there are few weak candle closings below A ✅Trendline Entry >Entry is at the break of TL >The break often comes with good volumes & strong closing candles >SL is wider than 1 but lesser than 2. So less riskier >This technique is used when, in wave C, there are few weak candle closings below A ✅ABC-W Entry >A unique entry technique >The price breaks deeply below B and then retests at W >At this point it seems that price will continue down but >The price could not hold down and again breaks out of W, giving us a breakdown failure entry >You would see a usually sharper continuations as many traders, who entered short positions, would start exiting in a hurry Stop loss in all the cases is placed under the low of wave C and trailed as per traders' time horizon. These are relatively small corrective patterns so you can expect sharp continuations and take targets measured equal to the strong impulsive move in the background. I hope it was useful.

Basics of DerivativesEver wonder what derivatives are? Check out this handy guide! 😉 A derivative is a contract or a product whose value is derived from the value of some other asset known as underlying. A variety of underlying assets serve as the foundation for derivatives. These include: → Financial assets such as Shares, Bonds, and Foreign Exchange. → Metals such as Copper, Zinc, Gold, Silver, etc. → Energy resources such as Crude oil, Natural Gas, etc. → Agricultural products such as Wheat, Cotton, Sugar, Coffee, etc. Cotton Futures Gold Futures Derivative Instruments Forwards It is a contractual agreement between two parties to buy/sell an underlying asset at a certain future date for a particular price that is pre-decided on the date of the contract. Both the contracting parties are committed and are obliged to honor the transaction irrespective of the price of the underlying asset at the time of delivery. The terms and conditions of the contract are customized to cater to the needs of both parties. These are Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts, meaning they are a deal you make directly with a bank or a dealer. As a result, there is always counterparty risk involved. Futures Futures are standardized contracts similar to a forward contract, except that the deal is made through an organized and regulated exchange rather than being negotiated directly between two parties. The arrangements come with a fixed maturity date along with uniform terms for all the parties involved. In simple language, futures are exchange traded forward contracts. The futures contract has little to no counterparty risk since the exchange is acting as a mediatory. Options An Option is a contract that gives the right, but not an obligation, to buy or sell the underlying on or before a fixed date and at a stated price. While the buyer of the option pays the premium and buys the right, the writer/seller of the option receives the premium with the obligation to sell/ buy the underlying asset if the buyer exercises his right. There are two types of options: → American → European American options can be exercised at any time prior to their expiration while the European options can only be exercised on the expiration date. In India, European options are used. Swaps A swap is an agreement made between two parties to exchange cash flows in the future according to a prearranged formula. A random variable (such as an interest rate, foreign exchange rate, commodity price, etc.) is used to determine at least one of these series of cash flows at the moment the contract is initiated. Swaps are, broadly speaking, a series of forward contracts. They help the participants manage risk associated with volatile interest rates, currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Thanks for reading! Next week we’ll talk about the types of people who use derivatives and why they exist. Stay tuned!
