Trader's Queries - How to take right entry, exit in trading?Trader's Queries are back with more insights as I have gained more experience in trading.
Query: Frequently, I find myself entering and exiting trades late; how can I address this issue?
Answer: Often, traders who lack confidence in the trend make late entries and exits. This practice diminishes profits and heightens risk. Is there a method to enhance profits while minimizing risk?
Indexes frequently open with gaps up or down. If you are aware of key support and resistance levels before the market opens, executing trades will be easier. However, if you wait until after the market opens to assess support and resistance before deciding on your actions, your entries will likely be delayed.
Stocks typically do not experience significant gap-up or down days, so the opening should not catch you off guard.
You can utilize these strategies to identify optimal entry and exit points.
Price action – Always the number one.
Volume
VWAP
RSI or MACD
Nifty spot chart has volume in TradingView. I use it to understand the trend. Price action gives you more information when you understand where it is forming.

OHLC Monthly Magic🎯 Simple but Powerful Trading Concept – No Indicators, No Patterns Needed!
Dear viewers,
Today, I'm sharing something so simple that most traders completely overlook it. While everyone else is busy complicating trading with fancy indicators, patterns, and strategies — I want to take you back to the basics that actually work.
✅ I’m using a Nifty chart to explain this. I’ve highlighted the previous month’s candle, and using the drawing tool’s magnet mode, I’ve plotted simple horizontal lines at the:
• Open
• High
• Low
• Close
📊 That’s it! No indicators. No patterns. Just price action from the previous month.
Now, switch to the Weekly or Daily timeframe and observe what happens around those levels. You’ll see clear supply and demand zones forming — automatically. These are the real institutional levels where price reacts strongly.
🔒 Who Should Use This?
If you're a retail trader, I do not recommend getting into intraday or index options — they are high-risk and emotionally draining, especially for beginners.
However, if you're an experienced trader and can handle the volatility, here’s how you can use this method powerfully:
📅 After marking the previous month’s OHLC levels:
• Move to the current month
• Watch how price interacts with those levels
• Combine this with RSI for extra confirmation:
📈 RSI + OHLC = High-Probability Zones
• If RSI > 60 and price is nearing the previous high — there's an 80-90% chance of a breakout.
• If RSI < 40 and price is near the previous low — expect further downside.
• We ignore the 40–60 RSI range. It’s noise. We're only focused on strong bullish or bearish momentum.
✅ Try this on stocks, crypto, forex (EUR/USD) — anything.
Once you master this concept, you won’t need any fancy indicators or complicated supply-demand theories. Just price action and momentum will guide your trades.
Thanks for watching, and apply this to see the magic yourself. Check my previous post for deeper understanding of -

Swing & Positional Trading Simple High Momentum Strategy📌 Simple Positional Trading Strategy for Beginners & Intermediate Traders:-
Over the years, I’ve explored and tested a variety of advanced trading strategies. However, I’ve come to realize that for beginners and traders with 2–3 years of experience, complex strategies can often lead to confusion and unnecessary risk. To address this, I’m sharing a straightforward and effective positional strategy that operates solely on the monthly time frame—eliminating the noise of intraday volatility and focusing purely on major institutional trends.
🔹 Strategy Name:
Positional RSI Breakout – Cash or Options (Excludes Futures)
This method is tailored specifically for cash market positions or options trades (for those familiar with managing them). Futures are intentionally excluded to reduce leverage-related risks and complexity for new and learning traders.
✅ Strategy Rules
• Time Frame: Monthly Candlestick
• Indicator Used: RSI (Relative Strength Index)
📥 Entry Conditions:
• Monitor for RSI crossing above the 60 level on the monthly chart – this indicates strong bullish momentum.
• Once RSI is > 60, mark the high of the previous month’s candle.
• Place a buy order just above the previous month’s high.
🔒 Stop Loss:
• Set the first stop loss just below the previous month’s low when entering.
Trail your stop loss to the low of each month after closing of that monthly candle.
📤 Exit Conditions:
• Exit the trade only if a full monthly candle closes below the previous month’s low.
• Ignore daily price fluctuations—this strategy is built for positional swing trading, not short-term moves.
💡 Note for Options Traders:
If trading via options, ensure you exit your position before monthly expiry to avoid time decay and liquidity issues. If you're unfamiliar with options mechanics, it is advisable to stick with cash market trades.

• Market Structure
📌 Rules of Engagement
1. 📅 Monthly Timeframe – Primary Trend Filter

Spot Intraday Long Trades with TradingView ScreenerHI folks!
I don't know how many of you have used the new TradingView Screener to spot opportunities.
Intraday Long Opportunities
In this example, I want to screen stocks with the following condition.
Market India
Change % greater than 4%
Turnover greater than 10 Cr. (to filter only heavy stocks)
I have excluded Market Cap filter in the above screener. However, I usually add it and the reason is that if the stock is still showing momentum at EOD, I will take delivery. Instead of attempting to find opportunities every day, if a good trade is captured, then hold it as long as momentum persists.
Follow the video to see how I have done it.
I usually take entries only on the 5 minutes chart. However, my signal comes from HTF.
Powerful Screening
With the new Screener you can create your own powerful screeners for all type of trading set ups. Try it out.
I hope the above example helps you create your own screeners.
All the best with your trades.

What is Inside out Candlestick Pattern ????The Inside Out pattern builds upon a classic engulfing setup by adding a breakout confirmation, making it a refined and filtered approach to candlestick analysis.
Bullish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bullish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bearish candle).
- Current bar must be bullish and must close above the high of the engulfing candle (a bullish breakout).
- When this setup is confirmed, a shaded green box is drawn around the range of the engulfing candle and its preceding bar.
Bearish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar must be a bearish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bullish candle).
- Current bar must be bearish and must close below the low of the engulfing candle (a bearish breakdown).
- When confirmed, a red box highlights the zone formed by the engulfing candle and its prior bar.
I have already published a free indicator around on this candlestick pattern click on the link to use it.
What is Open Interest?
Open interest (OI) is the total number of active contracts held by traders at any moment. It helps gauge market activity and trends, especially in futures and options trading.
Increasing OI: More money is entering the market, suggesting a bullish trend.
Decreasing O: Indicates a potential end to the current price trend.
What is Volume?
Volume measures the number of contracts traded in a day. It shows how many transactions occurred, regardless of whether they were new or existing contracts.
Key Difference: Open interest counts active contracts, while volume counts contracts traded.
What is Price Action?
Price action tracks how a security's price moves over time, indicating trends.
Market Strength: If prices rise with increasing volume and OI, the market is strong.
Market Weakness: If prices rise but volume and OI fall, the market may be weak.
How is Open Interest Calculated?
For example, if Trader A buys 1 contract from Trader B, OI increases by 1. If Trader C buys 2 contracts from Trader D, OI rises by 2, totaling 3. If Trader A closes their position, OI decreases unless a new trader opens a position.
Analyzing Open Interest Data:
1. Rising OI + Rising Prices: Bullish market with active buyers.
2. Rising Prices + Falling O: Money may be leaving, indicating a bear market.
3. High OI + Falling Prices: Potential panic selling as buyers lose money.
4. Falling Prices + Decreasing OI: Sellers under pressure, suggesting a negative outlook.
Understanding these concepts helps traders make smarter decisions in the market.

Time-Tested Tips for Better Risk Management in Trading
📝 Develop a Trading Plan
• Start with a Plan: Avoid jumping into trades without preparation. A solid trading plan is
your blueprint for success.
• Key Components: Define your entry points, stop-loss levels (to limit losses), and target
profit levels in advance.
• Why It Matters: A structured plan provides clarity during stressful trading situations and
ensures consistency with your risk tolerance.
________________________________________
🧘♂️ Understand Your Risk Tolerance
• Self-Reflection: Assess your emotional and psychological response to risk.
Know your comfort level with losses, market fluctuations, and stress.
• Financial Awareness: Factor in your income, savings, debts, and expenses to
gauge how much risk you can afford.
• Personalization is Key: There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy.
Tailor your risk management approach to your account size, goals,
and unique circumstances.
________________________________________
📚 Follow Your Trading System
• Have a Clear System: Establish rules for entering and exiting trades to maintain discipline
and avoid impulsive decisions.
• Backtest and Research: Test your system against historical data and simulate performance
in different market conditions.
• Stick to It: If your system has a proven edge, trust it. Jumping between strategies after
losses often leads to bigger losses.
________________________________________
🚨 Use a Stop-Loss
• What is a Stop-Loss? A predefined price level where you exit a trade to
limit potential losses.
• Why It’s Important: Prevents emotional decision-making and ensures you
quantify your risk before entering a trade.
________________________________________
✂️ Manage Your Position Size
• Avoid Overexposure: Adjust your position size to manage risk effectively and
avoid putting too much capital into one trade.
• Diversify: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket unless you fully understand and
accept the risks.
Risk-Reward Ratios: Quick Reference
1:2 Risk-Reward
• Risking $1 to make $2
• Win 33% of the time to break even.
• Common for day and swing traders aiming for moderate profits.
• Example: Stop-loss at 10 pips, target profit at 20 pips.
________________________________________
1:3 Risk-Reward
• Risking $1 to make $3
• Win 25% of the time to break even.
• Ideal for trades with a high-probability setup and larger moves.
• Example: Stop-loss at $50, target profit at $150.
________________________________________
1:5 Risk-Reward
• Risking $1 to make $5
• Win 17% of the time to break even.
• Suitable for trend-following strategies or breakout trades with significant momentum.
• Example: Stop-loss at 5% of capital, target profit at 25%.
________________________________________
❌ Don’t Overtrade or Revenge Trade
• Control Impulses: Avoid the urge to overtrade or recover losses through high-risk trades.
• Stay Rational: Emotional trading can lead to poor decisions and bigger losses.
Trade with a clear head and logic.
________________________________________
📔 Maintain a Trading Journal
• Track Your Trades: Document your trades to identify patterns, mistakes, and
areas for improvement.
• Enhance Strategies: Regular reviews help refine your approach,
improve risk management, and evolve as a trader.
• Accountability: A journal instils discipline and serves as a learning tool for future trades.
________________________________________
✅ Final Reminders
• Trade with discipline, not emotions.
• Always align your strategies with your risk tolerance and financial situation.
• Remember, trading is a marathon, not a sprint—stay consistent and patient.
________________________________________
Note- The Magic Formula for Lot Size Calculation (1% Risk)
Formula = 1% of Capital/Stop Loss in Pips/10
Example Scenarios:
Capital = $5,000 | Stop Loss = 30 pips: in XAUUSD
1% of capital = 50$
Lot size = 1% of Capital/Stop Loss in Pips/10 = 50/30/10 = 0.16

Adapting to SEBI's New Rules: A Guide for Retail Options TradersIntroduction
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has recently announced new regulations aimed at strengthening the equity index derivatives framework. These changes, set to be implemented in stages from November 2024 to April 2025, will significantly impact retail options traders. This article explores the new rules, their implications, and how traders can adapt their strategies to thrive in this evolving landscape.
www.sebi.gov.in
New SEBI Rules and Their Impact:
Navigating the world of options trading in India just got a little more interesting with the introduction of new regulations by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). For retail traders who are trying to figure out how to adapt to these new rules, understanding the key details is a good first step. Let’s dive into the specifics of these regulations and their effects on trading practices.
1. Upfront Collection of Option Premium:
Starting February 1, 2025, traders will be required to pay the full options premium upfront. This measure aims to reduce excessive leverage and discourage positions beyond available collateral.
Impact: This will limit the number of contracts traders can buy, potentially reducing overall market participation but also encouraging more responsible trading practices.
2. Removal of Calendar Spread Treatment on Expiry Day:
From February 1, 2025, the benefit of offsetting positions across different expiries (calendar spread) will not be available on the expiry day for contracts expiring that day.
Impact: This could lead to increased margin requirements on expiry days, affecting traders who rely on calendar spread strategies.
3. Intraday Monitoring of Position Limits:
Beginning April 1, 2025, exchanges will monitor position limits intraday, with a minimum of 4 random snapshots daily.
Impact: Traders will need to be more vigilant about their position sizes throughout the trading day to avoid penalties.
4. Increased Contract Size:
After November 20, 2024, new index derivatives contracts will have a minimum value of Rs. 15 lakhs, up from the current Rs. 5-10 lakhs range.
Impact: This change may price out some smaller retail traders from the market, but it also encourages more serious participation and potentially reduces market volatility.
5. Rationalization of Weekly Index Derivatives:
From November 20, 2024, each exchange will offer weekly expiry contracts for only one benchmark index.
Impact: This could concentrate liquidity in fewer products, potentially leading to better price discovery but also limiting trading options.
The exchanges Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange(NSE) will have to select 1 index from the existing for weekly expiry and the rest will be monthly expiry. For example, there is a possibility that NSE may opt to go for Bank Nifty for weekly expiry and Nifty, Fin Nifty and Midcap Nifty for monthly expiry whereas BSE may opt to go for Bankex for weekly expiry and Sensex for monthly expiry.
6. Increased Tail Risk Coverage:
Starting November 20, 2024, an additional 2% Extreme Loss Margin (ELM) will be levied on short options contracts on expiry day.
Impact: This will increase the cost of writing options on expiry days, potentially reducing speculative activity.
Overview of the New Regulations
SEBI’s new rules are designed to ensure a more transparent and fair-trading environment. They cover a range of changes in how options trading is conducted, all aiming to protect traders and enhance market integrity.
- Increased Transparency: SEBI is pushing for more transparent trading activities. This means traders will have access to more information and insights about market movements which can help in making informed decisions.
- Higher Compliance Standards: With a stronger emphasis on compliance, SEBI is keen on maintaining robust regulatory practices. This is to prevent issues like fraud or market manipulation from affecting retail traders.
- Leverage Control: New rules have introduced strict controls on leverage, which impacts the amount of capital a trader can use relative to the actual cash they have. While this might seem restrictive, it’s intended to lower risk and safeguard trader investments.
Key Changes Affecting Retail Options Traders
Retail options traders have specific adjustments to make under these new rules. Here are some of the key changes directly impacting you:
1. Portfolio Diversification:
With increased costs and limitations in options trading, diversifying across different asset classes and strategies becomes crucial. Consider including a mix of stocks, ETFs, and other derivatives in your portfolio to spread risk.
2. Shift to Swing/Positional Trading Style:
The new rules may make intraday trading less attractive due to increased monitoring and costs. Traders should consider shifting focus to swing or positional trading strategies that align with longer-term market trends.
3. Focus on Risk-Defined Strategies:
With higher margin requirements and upfront premium payments, traders should prioritize risk-defined strategies like spreads (bull call spreads, iron condors) over naked options positions. These strategies offer better risk management and capital efficiency.
4. Continuous Education:
Stay updated with market developments and enhance your trading skills through trading reputable education providers. Focus on advanced options strategies, risk management techniques, strategy optimization and market analysis to adapt to the changing landscape.
Best Practices:
1. Proper Position Sizing: With stricter position limits, ensure your trades are appropriately sized relative to your account.
2. Regular Portfolio Review: Frequently assess your positions to ensure compliance with new regulations and to optimize your strategy.
3. Use of Technology: Leverage trading platforms and tools that can help monitor positions and calculate margins in real-time.
4. Risk Management: Implement strict stop-loss orders and consider using options to hedge your portfolio.
Conclusion:
The new SEBI regulations present both challenges and opportunities for retail options traders. While they may initially seem restrictive, these rules aim to create a more stable and fair market environment. By adapting strategies, focusing on education, and implementing best practices, traders can navigate these changes successfully. The key lies in embracing a more disciplined, risk-aware approach to trading, which ultimately contributes to long-term success in the markets. As the derivatives landscape evolves, those who adapt quickly and intelligently will be best positioned to capitalize on new opportunities while managing risks effectively.

#Intraday trading strategy #BB Band A Bollinger Band is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security's price, but which can be adjusted to user preferences. Bollinger Bands are a highly popular technique. Many traders believe the closer the prices move to the upper band, the more overbought the market, and the closer the prices move to the lower band, the more oversold the market.
Key takes
Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool developed by John Bollinger for generating oversold or overbought signals
There are three lines that compose Bollinger Bands: A simple moving average (middle band) and an upper and lower band.
The upper and lower bands are typically 2 standard deviations +/- from a 20-day simple moving average (which is the centre line), but they can be modified.
When the price continually touches the upper Bollinger Band, it can indicate an overbought signal while continually touching the lower band indicates an oversold signal

Types of Alerts on TradingViewHey Everyone! 👋
While alerts have a ton of potential applications when it comes to trading, they are often underutilized because it can take some time and ingenuity to build a system where they can work well.
Alerts can turn the experience of trading from a constant search for ideas - and always feeling behind - into a relaxing job of waiting for your own pre-approved conditions to trigger before taking action. In short, alerts can make you much more well-prepared for the market’s ups and downs. 🔍
In this post, we will look at the two distinct types of alerts available on our platform.
Our alerts are categorized into two types based on resource requirements:
➡ Price alerts
➡ Technical alerts
Each alert type has a separate limit on the number of active alerts based on the subscription. We are happy to announce that we have recently doubled the combined limit for both alert types. 🎉
The current limits for active alerts are as follows:
As shown in the table, the Basic plan includes one price alert and one technical alert, while the Premium plan provides access to a much higher number of alerts. Specifically, users on the Premium plan can enjoy up to 400 price alerts and 400 technical alerts.
Now, you might be wondering about the distinction between price and technical alerts. What sets these two apart? Let's dive into the specifics of each type to gain a better understanding of their unique features and benefits.
💸 Price Alerts
An alert is considered a price alert when the following two conditions are met:
1. Only a symbol is used in the alert (for any type of chart: Bars, Renko, PnF, etc) and a price value
2. One of the following is selected as the trigger condition:
• Crossing
• Crossing Up
• Crossing Down
• Greater Than
• Less Than
For example , the following alert on a candlestick chart would be considered a price alert:
👨💻 Technical alerts
An alert is considered a technical alert if any of the following conditions are met:
1. The alert uses an overlay symbol, indicator, drawing or strategy
2. One of the following is selected as the trigger condition:
• Entering Channel
• Exiting Channel
• Inside Channel
• Outside Channel
• Moving Up
• Moving Down
• Moving Up %
• Moving Down %
For example , the following alert will be considered a technical alert since the trigger condition is set as “Moving up %”.
We hope that this post has provided you with a clearer understanding of the distinct types of alerts available on TradingView. However, if you require further assistance with setting up or managing your alerts, we recommend visiting our Help Center .
Thanks for reading! Hope this was helpful.

How to trade the Diamond PatternHey Everyone, as we all have at least traded a Diamond pattern and if not at least we have heard a lot about it but what does this pattern refers to bullish or bearish and in this post we will also learn how to trade it, where to take stoploss, where to take position in it and where and how to identify the target so pls do like and follow.
Some common questions that arise in everyone's mind :-
What is a Diamond Pattern ?
Technical chart patterns such as diamond patterns indicate a possible trend reversal or continuation. Diamond-like patterns are formed by two converging trend lines between which prices oscillate.
Below is a trading strategy for trading diamond patterns:
Identify the pattern: the first step in diamond pattern trading is to identify the pattern on the price chart. Look for a pattern that has two converging trend lines between which prices oscillate.
Determine the direction of the trend: once you have identified the pattern, you need to determine the direction of the trend. If the diamond pattern forms during an uptrend, it is considered a bearish pattern. If it forms during a downtrend, it is a bullish reversal pattern.
Open the trade: Once you have determined the direction of the trend, wait for a breakout from the diamond pattern to confirm the direction of the trade. If the pattern is a bearish reversal pattern, open a short trade as soon as the price breaks below the lower trend line. If the pattern is a bullish reversal pattern, open a long trade when the price breaks above the upper trend line.
Set a stop loss: To limit possible losses, place a stop loss order just below the low of the breakout candle for a long trade and just above the high of the breakout candle for a short trade.
Set the target: The target for the diamond pattern trade should be the height of the diamond pattern, measured from the highest point to the lowest point added to the breakout point. This target can be adjusted according to the trader's risk tolerance and trading style.
Manage the trade: As the trade progresses, monitor the price action and adjust the stop loss and take profit orders accordingly. If the trade moves in your favor, you can take partial profits or tighten your stop loss to lock in profits.
Avoid false breakouts: diamond patterns are prone to false breakouts, where the price breaks out of the pattern but then quickly retraces. To avoid false breakouts, wait until price closes outside the pattern before entering the trade.
Trade with proper risk management: As with any trading strategy, it is important to trade with proper risk management. Risk only a small percentage of your trading account on each individual trade, and do not risk more than you can afford to lose. Always use stop loss orders to limit possible losses.
Here are some additional tips for trading the diamond pattern:
Confirm it with other indicators: although the diamond pattern can be a reliable trading signal, it is always advisable to confirm the signal with other technical indicators such as moving averages, momentum indicators or volume indicators. Look for additional signals that support the direction of the breakout.
Pay attention to multiple time frames: To increase the probability of a successful trade, it is helpful to look for the diamond pattern in multiple time frames. Look for the pattern on daily, weekly and monthly charts and trade only if it is consistent with the larger trend.
Be patient: it may take some time for a diamond pattern to form. So be patient and wait for the pattern to fully develop before entering the trade. Rushing to enter a trade before the pattern has fully formed can lead to false breakouts and unnecessary losses.
Practice with a demo account: Before risking real money, it is always a good idea to practice trading the diamond pattern with a demo account. This way you can test your strategy, refine your entry and exit points and gain confidence in your trading plan before risking real money.
Trading the diamond pattern requires a combination of technical analysis skills and patience. The diamond pattern is a reversal pattern that forms after a long uptrend or downtrend. The pattern looks like a diamond or a kite and indicates a consolidation phase before a possible trend reversal. Traders can use the diamond pattern to identify potential entry and exit points for trading.
In order to trade the diamond pattern, you must first correctly identify the pattern. Once you have identified the pattern, you should look for confirmation of the pattern. This can be done by waiting for a breakout above or below the support or resistance levels of the pattern. Traders can take long positions if the breakout is above the resistance level, or they can take short positions if the breakout is below the support level.
The stop loss should be placed just below the support level of the pattern for long positions and just above the resistance level for short positions. The stop loss should be placed at a level where the trade will be invalidated if the price moves against the expected direction. The target for the trade can be calculated by measuring the distance between the highest and the lowest point of the pattern and projecting this distance from the breakout point. Traders can also use other technical indicators to determine potential price targets.
It is important to note that trading the diamond pattern can be risky, and traders should manage their risks effectively. One way to do this is to use proper risk management techniques, such as position sizing and limiting risk capital. In addition, traders should be patient and wait for confirmation of the pattern before entering a trade. Rushing into a trade without proper analysis and confirmation can result in losses.
5 Tips For Managing Losing Trades (It Happens To Everyone)Losing trades happen. They are a part of the journey. There is simply no such thing as a trader or investor who wins all the time. All the famous investors or traders you know have LOST many times in their careers. It is perfectly normal. Did you know the famed hedge fund manager Ray Dalio lost everything in his 30s? He went broke. He had to start over from scratch.
This post will address what losing trades really mean and how to deal with it.
Before we begin, let us state the obvious:
- Be careful of people who claim they don't lose.
- Avoid people who flaunt win rates or success rates that are simply not possible.
- Losing trades happen to everyone! You are not alone.
Now, let's talk about what bad trades mean and 5 tips for managing them:
Number 1: A losing trade is different from a bad trade
The most experienced traders are well aware of their risk before they ever place a trade. Each losing trade is a small component of a bigger process that relates to a system, plan or strategy that has been thoroughly tested and studied. A losing trade is a calculated event for experienced traders. They defined their risk, position size, stop loss, and profit target. 🎯
A bad trade is very different. A bad trade implies someone risked their hard-earned money with no plan or process. A bad trade is reckless and indiscriminate trading. This often happens to new investors or traders who do not yet understand the time, studying, and research that goes into making a rock-solid plan. Be sure to remember the difference between a calculated losing trade and a bad trade with no plan or process.
TradingView Tip: there are several ways to get started with a plan, system or process. Paper trading, backtesting and/or working with proficient traders who give valuable feedback are all ways to get started. Don't risk your money without first doing research.
Number 2: Every losing trade provides data to get better
As we've mentioned several times now, losing trades happen to everyone. But remember, losing trades are also filled with insightful information and data. You can learn a lot from analyzing losing trades. 🔍
At the end of each trading day, week or month, experienced traders will analyze their losing trades in detail. What patterns are appearing? What do they share in common? Why did they happen? With this information, a trader or investor can adjust their strategy based on what they've uncovered.
Number 3: Do not let losing trades impact your health
Your mental and physical health are just as important as your financial health. Do not let losing trades impact either of those.
If your system is breaking down or several losing trades are starting to impact your emotions, step away from the computer or phone. Turn everything off and walk away. The markets have been open for hundreds of years and are not going away. When you're ready to come back, they'll be there.
Get up, get some fresh air, and get back in the arena when you're ready.
Number 4: Share your experiences with others
Traders and investors across the globe want to learn from your stories and losing trades. These are invaluable experiences that we all share in common. Social networks allow you to chat, share, and meet people who are going through similar things. We can all learn from each other.
Sure, the temptation to share your winners or act like the best trader who ever existed is tempting 😜 - but it's clear we learn together and get better when we share lessons from the loses. This is where the deepest insights are found, and together, it's where we can grow as a community of traders all trying to outperform the market.
Share and ask for constructive feedback!
Number 5: Keep Going
Markets are a game of learning, relearning, and progressing forward. New themes, trends, and stories appear and disappear daily. The journey is long and it never stops. When implementing your trading plan or investing plan, it's important to do it with the long-term in mind. One or two losing trades in a single day or week is a small fraction of what's to come many months and years down the road. 🌎
Keep going. Keep building. Keep refining your plan. Study the data.

If you are not 'INSIDE' you are 'OUTSIDE' In the stock market, if you are not inside, you are outside.
I expect all those reading this article wants to be inside the market.
So, if you want to participate in the market then you must develop a deep insight into
the key market players i.e. your competitors who drive day to day movement of the market.
Key Market Players:-
The following are the three types of market participants.
->Retail - general public also called clients
->High Net Worth Investors - commonly known as HNI clients.
->Proprietary Trading - also called 'Pro' are firms.
->Institutions - referred to as trading organizations.
Let's dive into the details of each of them listed above .
Retail Investors :- They are the general public who invest or trade in the market individually with very
small capital as compared to other participants. They are at the bottom of the market food chain when considered individually
but in recent few years, the retail participants as a whole have seen a significant rise in numbers.
High Net Worth Investors: - They are also an individual but with big sums in their pockets. They have a deeper access to
the markets, inside news, and all. They don't participate in day-to-day trading.
Proprietary Traders :- Also known as 'Pro 'are those firms/banks which also trade in the daily market with the firm's funds.
They are at the middle of the market food chain i.e. above retail but below institutions. Actively participate
in daily market movements.
Institutional Investors :- They are organizations taking part actively in market movements. They are at the top of the market food chain.
They can be further divided into two groups:
->FII (Foreign Institutional Investors): Institutions whose origin is outside India but still they invest in Indian markets. Actively participate
in daily market movements.
->DII (Domestic Institutional Investors): Institutions whose origin is India. They are inactive in the derivatives segment.
Among the participants listed above Retail, Pro & FII are actively involved in the daily market trading and encourage
derivatives segment.
We all have seen everyone in markets talking about FIIs that are bearish/bullish on markets but why?
The above figure is of FII+Pro & Client correlation with nifty, this describes the reason why the positions of FII are significant.
We can draw the following conclusion:-
1. Majority of the time FII is correct to predict the market movement.
2. Clients generally build position against FII and max times have an opposite correlation with market movements.
Now, have a look at how the FII and client positions affect the market movement
The above figure justifies the correlation.
We can draw the following conclusions:-
1. Maximum time FII are net short in nifty whereas clients are net long in nifty.
2. When FII cover their shorts and deploys the longs we see an uptrend but at the same time, the client unwinds long
and deploys shorts which are generally against the trend i.e. client likes to drive in opposite direction.
3. And when FII positions converge with the Client there is previous trend exhaustion and the arrival of a sideways market or
sometimes a new trend.
As of now the index is clearly explained but what about stocks how much significant is FII in stocks?
To answer the above question let's take an example of a very famous stock ITC:-
The above figure says that FII has increased holding in the interval of Jun2022 - Sep2022 from 12.7% to 44.5%
and by the time client has decreased the holding from 44.5% to 14.8%.
Does the change in position affect the stock price of ITC? let's have a look
Now it's clear that FII have ultimate power because when they started to increase their holding in ITC
the price shoot up during this time Public who were holding it for the last 2yrs exited when ITC has just begun to move.
Hope the readers had understood the mightiness of FII and the oppositeness of the Public and also have got a deep insight
about their competitors .
Also, thanks to @biswapatra for requesting me to write an article on this topic. You can also suggest an topic on which you
want to have analysis.
Interpretation Of Chart Patterns According To Market Phase.NSE:BANKNIFTY1!
As we all know market moves in phases
What are those phases?
A primary bull or bear trend consists of two phases, specifically
Accumulation phase: if the market rises after consolidating, we say that the consolidation represents accumulation (buying activity).
Distribution phase: if the market declines after consolidating, we say that the consolidation represents distribution (selling activity)
The main issue arises when a trader tries to know whether this consolidation is accumulation or distribution.
So how can we overcome that issue?
As a trader, we have to try to look for evidence that suggests whether accumulation or distribution is taking place during consolidation and out of that evidence we will discuss how we can use chart patterns to identify the phase.
Chart patterns belong to one of two groups, that is, reversal or continuation.
Chart patterns have intrinsic and extrinsic biases.
What is the intrinsic bias of chart patterns?
Intrinsic bias means the inherent bullish or bearish sentiment associated with a chart pattern.
For example,1. An ascending triangle pattern has an inherently bullish bias.
2. A head and shoulder pattern has an inherently bearish bias.
3. A descending triangle pattern has an inherently bearish bias.
## A symmetrical triangle and rectangle/horizontal range pattern have an intrinsically neutral bias
What is the extrinsic bias of chart patterns?
Extrinsic bias refers to as location-based sentiment of a chart pattern.
Like a pattern forming at some location which is historically a strong resistance zone (Market top) so if an ascending triangle forms at that location then its extrinsic bias will be bearish.
Example 1: An descending triangle is an intrinsically bearish pattern, but if it is forming at a strong support location then the extrinsic bias will be bullish.
Example 2: An ascending triangle is intrinsically bullish, that is, it has a bullish bias. Regardless of where this pattern occurs with respect to past price action, it will always be inherently a bullish indication, but If this bullish pattern is found at the price level of some historically significant market top/Resistance, then we say that it is extrinsically bearish, cause the pattern is located at a significant resistance.
Factors determining the extrinsic bias of the pattern
• Direction of the preceding trend.
• Location with respect to historical extremes in price.
• Location with respect to the phase of an underlying market cycle
• Location with respect to other support and resistance barriers to price.
• Bullish or bearish divergent formations.
How can we use this extrinsic and intrinsic bias?
When extrinsic bias and intrinsic bias both are in agreement then the possibility of a reversal at market tops or bottoms is significant.
Similarly, for trends, when the intrinsic bias of the chart pattern is in agreement with the directionality of the trend, i.e., the trend sentiment, the potential for a continuation is usually greater.
For example, The inverse head and shoulder pattern have an intrinsically bullish bias, and it is also forming at a strong support location then its extrinsic bias is also bullish.
Like, If both are in alignment then we can say that this is an accumulation phase and a long entry can be initiated.
##When attempting to determine the reliability of potential reversals during the accumulation and distribution phases, or continuations during the trend phase, it is important to look for agreement between the intrinsic and extrinsic biases. If Any disagreement is seen as an indication that a reversal or continuation may be inherently weak.
##Intrinsically neutral formations, their extrinsic bias or sentiment is derived from the trend sentiment. For example, a symmetrical triangle will adopt an extrinsically bullish bias in an uptrend and an extrinsically bearish bias in a downtrend.
By considering these Factors while trading chart patterns in different market phases will give an in-depth insight and helps in making more informed and rational decisions.
I hope you found this helpful.

Happy Trading!
What Is the RSI Indicator & RSI DivergenceRSI - Relative Strength Index Indicator:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset. The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that moves between two extremes) and can have a reading from 0 to 100. It is important to note that the RSI does not indicate whether a stock is a buy or a sell; rather, it provides insight into the current trend of the stock.
The RSI is a versatile indicator that can be used by traders of all levels and can be adapted for any style of trading. For example, a trader may use the RSI to identify support or resistance levels, or to spot divergences that can be used to predict future price movements. The RSI can also be used to locate potential trading opportunities by looking for overbought or oversold conditions. Furthermore, the RSI can be used in combination with other indicators, such as moving averages, to gain a better understanding of the market’s overall trend.
Formula of RSI:
The RSI is calculated using a formula that compares the magnitude of recent gains against recent losses over a specified period. The formula for the RSI is:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + (Average of Upward Price Movements / Average of Downward Price Movements)))
What is periods in RSI:
Periods in RSI (Relative Strength Index) are the number of time periods used to calculate the RSI. The most commonly used period for RSI is 14, but other periods such as 7, 9, and 25 are also used. This number represents the number of time periods that are used to calculate the RSI, so a period of 14 would mean the RSI is being calculated using the last 14 time periods.
RSI divergence:
RSI divergences are a type of technical analysis used to identify potential trend reversals in the markets. They are based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and are used to spot potential trend reversals before they occur.
A divergence occurs when the price of an asset makes a higher high, but the RSI makes a lower high. This suggests that the current rally is losing momentum and may reverse course. Similarly, a lower low in the price and a higher low in the RSI may signal an impending rally.
Divergences are best used in conjunction with other technical indicators and analysis to confirm price action. It is also important to keep in mind that divergences do not always lead to reversals and may simply signal a period of consolidation before the price continues its current trend.
Divergence Cheat Sheet / Types of Divergence:
Introduction to Volume profile If you have been in the market for some time, you may have heard of a study called the “Volume profile” . Today we are going to take a deeper look at volume profile, along with a few example strategies. This post will also lay the groundwork for future posts about more advanced volume profile topics.
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!
The post will shed some light on the following topics:
→ What is volume profile?
→ Difference between traditional volume indicator and volume profile
→ Volume profile terminology
→ Different types of volume profiles
→ Example strategy
👉 What is Volume profile?
Volume Profile is an advanced charting study that displays trading activity at specific price levels over a specified time period. On the chart, it plots a horizontal histogram to reveal significant price levels based on volume.
Volume Profile, in essence, takes the total volume traded at a specific price level during the specified time period and divides it into either buy volume or sell volume, making that information easily visible to the trader.
👉 Difference between volume profile and traditional volume indicator
The core difference between the traditional volume indicator and the volume profile is how they consider volume with respect to time and price.
The traditional volume indicator plots histograms at specific times, without giving any relevance to the price levels. On the other hand, the volume profile gives importance to price levels without emphasizing on the time scale.
👉 Volume profile terminology
■ Point of Control (POC) – The price level for the time period with the highest traded volume.
■ Profile High – The highest reached price level during the specified time period.
■ Profile Low – The lowest reached price level during the specified time period.
■ Value Area (VA) – The range of price levels in which a specified percentage of all volume was traded during the time period. Typically, this percentage is set to 70% however it is up to the trader’s discretion.
■ Value Area High (VAH) – The highest price level within the value area.
■ Value Area Low (VAL) – The lowest price level within the value area.
■ High Volume Nodes (HVN) – Peaks in volume around a price level.
■ Low Volume Nodes (HVN) – Valleys in volume around a price level.
👉 Different types of volume profiles
TradingView currently provides 5 types of volume profiles. These are:
1. Auto anchored - Specifies the anchor of the volume profile calculation, i.e. how often the volume profile recalculates and where it starts.
2. Fixed range - Builds a profile using the custom anchors provided by the user.
3. Periodic - Sets the period for which the indicator builds volume profile, one profile for each new period.
4. Session (Normal and HD) - SVP displays a profile for all the market action that occurs within a session. If set to "All" (default), the indicator will consider the pre-market, main trading session and post-market as one session.
5. Visible range - Builds a profile considering all the visible data on the screen.
Please note that the Volume Profile is a paid-only feature that can be accessed by subscribing to one of our paid plans. If you need to upgrade your account, be sure to check out our Black Friday sale . You can get up to 60% off on subscriptions.
Example strategy
Just like with most other tools or studies, Volume Profile has a number of uses. There are many trading strategies out there using Volume Profile as a key component. Below are the basics of one such strategy which is based on comparing the current day’s opening price to the previous day’s Volume Profile.
👉 If the current day opens above the previous day’s value area (but still below the Profile High)
A sample setup is to look for the price to retrace back toward the Point of Control and then proceed to rise (the direction of the day’s open). Therefore during the retracement to the Point of Control, there is a buying opportunity.
👉 If the current day opens below the previous day’s value area (but still above the Profile Low)
Some traders may look for price to retrace back towards the Point of Control and then proceed to fall (the direction of the day’s open). Therefore during the retracement to the Point of Control, there is a selling opportunity.
👉 If the current day’s opening price is completely outside of the previous day’s profile (above the Profile High or below the Profile Low)
In general, this is seen as a possible runner in the direction of the opening price relative to the previous day’s profile range but different traders may look at it differently.
Thanks for reading! As we mentioned before, this isn't trading advice, but rather information about a tool that many traders use. Hope this was helpful!

Let's go Strictly into the idea
So What is a Fib Retracement ?
Now You might think it is just making lines and deciding on support or resistance but it's way too far, as shown in the thumbnail " The Major Levels " it means the levels that can be a support or resistance and can be found easily as shown.
So Now we have learned What is Fibonacci Retracement, Now Let's Know How to use It ?
To use fib retracememts we need to first find a low and a high level and then set 1.000 and 0 and then just seek at The Major Levels to Trade.
This was just an overview if you want a more detailed idea in which we will discuss Fibonacci Extensions , Fibonacci Number and Lines tell me in the comments and i will do for sure
Thanks

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.
