It took me 10+ years & more than 1000+ hours of practice…

to master these 5 IMPORTANT RULES WHILE DRAWING TRENDLINES 🎯

These simple rules, if mastered, can help one spot HIGH PROBABILITY TRADES!

Ready to learn?🤓

Let’s go🧵…

1⃣ Trendlines are zones and not a single line!

- Due to volatility in price, many times prices tend to spike on both sides
- So, consider trendlines as zones from multiple swing highs(include wicks) to get the best fit trendline
- Your winning probability increases with zones

2⃣ Trendlines with more touchpoints

- Any trendline with 3 or more touchpoints is a very significant one
- The price points around significant trendlines are important & should be watched

Observe the commentary in the Nifty chart below

3⃣Trendlines on higher Time Frame are more significant

- A trendline on the 15 min chart will be easily broken than a trendline on the daily
- A shorter time trendline break might just mean a consolidation phase before the price moves up again resuming the larger trend

4⃣ The steeper the trendline the more likely it will break

- The less steep the trendline angle, the more significant it is & more likely to be respected.
- Any trendline with an angle greater than 30° is steep & likely to be broken before the previous trend continues.

Thread: Decoding 2-period RSI

#trading

2-period RSI is a popular concept introduced by Larry Connors.

Many traders are using this method in their strategy.

There are two simple rules in the strategy that Larry Connors explained.

For buying:
• Price should be above 200-DMA (Long-term trend is up)
• 2-period RSI should be below 10 (better below 5)

For selling:
• Price should be below 200-DMA (Long-term trend is up)
• 2-period RSI should be above 90 (better above 95)

He also recommended exiting trades in profit. Exit if stock goes above 5 DMA after buying and exit of stock goes below 5 DMA after shorting. You can use DMA, higher period RSI such as 5 period or 14 period, ADX, Super trend etc. Possibilities are endless.

Bottom line is that he recommended exiting into profit instead of trailing. He did not recommend stop-loss because it can hurt the overall profitability according to him.

Let’s focus on the 2 rules stated above.

What is the logic of the system? It is a pullback trading system.

In 2012, my first options trade lost $9,000.

12 months later I was making $1,100 per week trading in my free time.

What changed?

I read 20 books on options and finished a master’s degree.

But what took my game to the next level was Python.

Here’s the code I still use today:

A quick primer on options in case you're not familiar:

• Over $450 billion in notional trades DAILY
• 39 million options contracts trade DAILY
• 25% of total options trading is from retail

So how do we make money?

Trade options with a simple, 3-part framework:

1. Design your risk
2. Value the position
3. Measure and monitor

Now pair this framework with Python and you get a potent combination for making money trading options.

Let's dig in:

To design our risk profile, we need the option payoff.

Let's start by defining the variables we need:

• Stock price
• Strike price
• Time to expiration
• Interest rate
• Volatility

We also define market prices for demonstrating trades.

Remember our payoff functions for calls and puts?

• call = max(S - K, 0)
• put = max(K - S, 0)

We can define them in Python in one line of code each.

And here's where it gets really interesting.

5 star RSI Strategy by @VishalMalkan

Unconventional approach of 60-40 RSI and range shift concept.

According to him,
whenever the market is bearish,
it won’t be able to cross 60,
and whenever in a bullish trend,
it won’t be able to cross 40.

Like & Retweet for Maximum Reach.

So, instead of the 70-30 Relative Strength Index,
we will use the 60-40 range for the RSI indicator for this strategy.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI>60,
& when the RSI takes support at 40 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go below 40.

If a bullish candle is formed at the 40 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back, and one can enter the stock.

The stoploss can be placed at the low of that bullish candlestick,
and the target can be the 60 RSI level.

When the
Monthly and Weekly RSI<40,
& when the RSI takes resistance at 60 in the daily chart,
it may bounce back and most probably it will not go above 60

If a bearish candle is formed at the 60 RSI level,
the prices may bounce back from there, & 1 can enter the stock 4 shorting

The stoploss can be placed at the high of that bearish candlestick, and the target can be the 40 RSI levels.

#banknifty

This range shift concept can be applied in any timeframe,
whether intraday, daily,weekly, etc.

Identifying a Bullish Breaker (a thread)

Weekend education

1. Swing Low formed
2. Swing High formed

3. Sellside Liquidity taken (aka Stop Raid)
4. Lower Low formed

5. Bullish Break in Structure
6. Now it's a valid Breaker

7. Prices trades back into Breaker "zone"
8. 🤑

Not all Breakers work!
Price can trade through a breaker and fail. Keep that in mind!
Stops where invented for that ;-)

A thread on Price action and how to identify stocks showing strong price action.

For me price action is when you answer the What,When,Why,How and Where of price movement of any underlying.

Its a language you use to communicate with the underlying.

Key Parameters thread

1/n

Short term price action is judged when the underlying is crossing precious day high or low. Why last day action is important?Because there are enough short term traders who act at these levels,especially if that day had lots of activities showcased by volume and delivery.

2/n

Monthly high, low, close are again important as the stocks are typically evaluated on monthly basis for mid term performance. Operator building large positions will react when market breaches these critical levels.

3/n

Just like monthly, 52 week i.e yearly data is also critical as a symbolic performance of an underlying for long term actions.

4/n

VWAP literally helps you to judge the behavior of operator. Typically that the price at which operator has build positions. If you combine VWAP with closing, you will be able to judge the probable demand and supply zone of any underlying.

5/n

TREND TEMPLATE CRITERIA by the Legend @markminervini

A stock must meet all eight criteria to be deemed in a confirmed stage 2 uptrend.

1. Stock price is above both the 150-day (30-week) and the 200-day (40week) moving average price lines.

A Thread🧵

2. The 150-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average

3. The 200-day moving average line is trending up for at least 1-month (preferably 4 to 5 months or longer).

4. The 50-day (10-week moving average) is above both the 150-day and the 200-day moving averages.

5. The current stock price is at least 25 percent above its 52-week low. (Many of the best selections will be 100 percent, 300 percent, or more above their 52-week low before they emerge from a healthy consolidation period and mount a large-scale advance).

6. The current stock price is within at least 25 percent of its 52-week high
(the closer to a new high the better).

7. The relative strength (RS) ranking (as reported in Investor's Business
Daily) is no less than 70, but preferably in the 90s, which will generally be the case with the better selections.

The most valuable aspect in trading you aren't using:

POSITION SIZING

Sizing is the key, you'll make big money only if you own a significant size without compromising on risk.

Here are 10 of them, and they are for free: 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ For a faster growth, one needs to have a bigger size:

• What difference would it make if a stock moves by 300%?

• But then, what if you had only 1% capital allocation?

• Despite the stock performing spectacularly, your account won't reflect the same, due to small sizing.

2/ Three types of position sizing:

1. Fixed absolute Rupee amount that one is willing to risk.
2. % risk of the total capital.
3. Basis the edge.

Risk tolerance should be taken into consideration while determining appropriate position sizing.

3/ Fixed absolute Rupee Amount:

• Eg: Total capital is Rs. 10 lacs and the max risk per trade is Rs. 7500

• Lets say a stock is trading at 1200 and your SL is 1120 (i.e. your risk per unit us Rs. 1200-1120 =Rs. 80)

• Optimum qty: 7500/80 = 94 units

4/ Percentage risk of total capital:

• Lets say you want to risk 1% of the total capital on each trade.

• Considering the total capital of Rs. 10 lacs, you shall risk Rs. 10,000 i.e. 1% of 10lacs on each trade.

• Quantity to be traded/invested calculation remains the same.

Subasish Pani revealed the most simple, yet successful strategy: 5EMA set up!

Here is a thread of 23 video clips on the 5EMA set-up that will save you hundreds of hours and available to you for no cost!

5EMA set-up: 🧵!

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/Don't hate on any style:

• Admire the fact that money can be made from intraday, scalping, positional, option buying, selling, futures, etc

• Try to understand which one fits you the most and apply that, then ignore the rest!

2/ System with a R/R of minimum 1:3:

• Here is a system that works for investing, scaping, positional, options buying and selling, futures etc.

• The R/R of this set up in intraday is 1:3 & for investing can go beyond.

3/ Why EMA over SMA? :

• Exponential moving average is used, as it places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.

4/ 5EMA moves very close to the prices:

• Mean reversion theory: Asset prices usually tend to go back to normal or average levels after an extreme price move.

• Prices routinely oscillate around the mean but tend to return to that same average price over and over.

#Pocketpivot and it's characteristics:-

pocket pivot,” or “buying in the pocket,” is an early base
breakout indicator, which is designed to find buyable pivot points within a stock’s base shortly before the stock actually breaks out of its chart base-
Detailed Thread🧵 1/11

or consolidation and emerges into new high price ground.
Institutional investors do not like to buy breakouts to new highs. In fact, they generally prefer to buy stocks off of their lows, and sometimes the lower the better. 2/11

Of course, if we think about this for just one second we realize that it is the institutions that create the bottoms of chart bases, including the volume/accumulation clues along the lows of a constructive base formation. If investors had bought the breakout to new highs, 3/11

the sharp pullback below the 10-day moving average might have caused them to be shaken out of their position.However, buying on the pocket pivot buy
point before the stock rose would have given investors buying the stock at good point. 4/11

A pocket pivot points generally occurs within the stocks chart base, before the standard new-high breakout buy point appears. Pocket pivots can also appear as continuation buy point as stock move higher after launching out of a chart base or consolidation. 5/11

Here is what YOU should know about BREAKOUTS before you lose money on them !

A free FAILED BREAKOUT analysis for you - 🧵

A technical analysis term, used to show a rise in a stock’s price above its resistance level (such as its previous high price) or drop below its support level (commonly the last lowest price.)

The assumption is that the stock will continue to move in the same direction following the breakout, which generates a buy or sell signal.

Trading breakouts is an excellent trading strategy that involves buying or selling an asset after a long period of consolidation.

However, the biggest risk of trading a breakout is when the price suddenly reverses, in what is known as a false breakout. In this report, we will look at what a false breakout is, how you can identify it, and how you can use it in the market.

Let's look at plenty of False Breakout Examples ⚡️
1. #INFIBEAM ⚡️
We saw a top out pattern, interesting part is the candle that gave a top was a heavy buying candle. No follow-up and stock is down nearly 30%.

11 Excel Formulas To Increase Your Productivity:

1. XLOOKUP

Use the XLOOKUP function to find things in a table or range by row.

This is an upgrade compare to VLOOKUP.

I'm looking for revenue of a given product for multiple years. Unlike VLOOKUP, adding a column won't break the formula.

The formula: =XLOOKUP(A11,A2:A8,B2:H8)

2.LAMBDA

Use a LAMBDA function to create custom, reusable functions and call them by a friendly name.

This is a powerful function to create your own calculations.

In our case, we wanted to calculate the income after deducting tax.

The formula: = LAMBDA(x,y,x*(1-y))

3. CONCATENATE

Use this function to join two or more text strings into one string.

I'm trying to combine the first name and last name in one cell.

Don't forget the “ ” and the space in the middle if it to separate the two texts.

The formula: =CONCATENATE (A2,“ ”,B2)

4. COUNTIF

Use COUNTIF to count the number of cells that meet a criterion.

I'm counting the numbers of times these companies have been the best companies in different years.

The formula:=COUNTIF(A2:B22,A25)
