#Chapter3 : Price Action Trading Secrets
Disclaimer: I am going to share my experience in Price Action trading. Please note this is NOT at all a Holy Grail or even close so if you are looking for that, please stop reading here.

 BUT if you want to learn about markets, supply & demand, how price moves & want to be on the right side most of the time, then continue reading. Once you read & understood these concepts, you need to spend 1000s of hours to screen various charts to practice what you have learnt.
ONLY this way you can learn price action trading so do I have your commitment on this?? I heard YES so get ready for the excitement.

1st Topic would be -

What is Price Action & why it is important?
1.What is Price Action & why it is important?
We all trade price every day. Knowingly or unknowingly but we all are associated with price. You buy a stock at 100 & I sell at 100, we traded price. So price is nothing but an agreement between 2 parties to trade something mutually
Bulls & bears often fight for a fair price which they think is right for them & they try to defend that price to keep their hold. Price action trading is the study of analyzing this tussle between them & helps you make trading decisions purely based on the price.
It does not use any technical indicators to derive the decision to buy or sell.
Price action is important to find the right balance between buying pressure & selling pressure which actually moves the price.
You analyze every single candle/bar in the price chart to understand who was in control in that specific time frame & who won the battle towards the close. It is very interesting study & keeps you on the right side always.
Hope this was helpful to understand what is price, what is price action and why it is important to make a trading decision.

Our next topic would be -

Understand structure, trends & market cycles
2. Understand structure, trends & market cycles
What is the first thing you look when you see a new chart? Thinking???
Let me help. The first & foremost thing you should look for in any chart is “Structure” or “Trend”. It’s easy….right?
But question is what a structure is & how it defines a trend?
Structure is nothing but the analysis of recent peaks & troughs (in other words pivots).
Structure is to spot the following 4 things on any given chart –
1.Higher high
2.Higher low
3.Lower high
4.Lower low
But you may be thinking why should I look for the structure? What is the need & how it helps? The objective of looking for a structure is to know whether the stock is trending (consistently rising or falling) or in range (trading between a price range & not moving in 1 direction)
And why do we need to know this info? The reason is simple. Strategies are different for trending market or range bound market & one strategy doesn’t work in other type of market. Therefore, you need to first know the type of market you are in & only then define a strategy.
Note: If the chart you see doesn’t provide enough information to define the structure thus trend, zoom out so that you can see the structure for more time duration i.e. if currently you see just 1 month time chart, you should see 3 months or more to know clear picture.
Once you understand the structure, the next logical thing to know is which cycle this stock/index is operating in? There are mainly 4 stages/cycles for any stock & they are repetitive in nature i.e. they move in sequence & repeat again once all 4 are completed once.
These 4 cycles are –
a.Accumulation
b.Mark up
c.Distribution
d.Mark down

As Price Action trader you need to literally understand these concepts really well so that you can time your entries accordingly.
Though they work on every time frame, my personal experience is that they work really well on larger time frames i.e. hourly, 4 hourly, daily, weekly, monthly.
Let’s understand these cycles 1 by 1 –
a. Accumulation: This cycle comes after the Mark down phase where the sell-off by Smart Money (FIIs, DIIs, big hedge funds etc.) happens to dump the stocks back to retail traders.
Once they dump their stock to retail & bring the price down from top to bottom, they start accumulating it again at lower prices (price which they think is fair for them). Therefore, this cycle runs really long & really test patience of long term buyers.
During the accumulation stage they try to take price up multiple times to check if any supply is present or not. This takes down the price a bit before they come back again and provide the required support to stop price fall further.
After this test, they take the price up again & this cycle repeats few times until all the floating supply is removed. Once they drain everyone & weak buyers they take the price up via breakout & never see those levels again.
To take the maximum advantage you need to learn to spot this cycle well so that you get early entry & ride along with the Smart Money.

Next section will be on Mark up phase.
b. Mark Up: Once they load their trucks full, the next stage is to take the price higher & higher (making higher highs & higher lows). This is the stage where price moves up at a very high speed because bulls are in control.
This happens till the point where either or both these things happens –
•Bulls feel that it’s time for profit booking or offloading the stock OR
•Bears start getting active to take control & price resist to move up
Its a game of muscles & endurance. If bulls win this then price continues to go up after facing a small resistance but if bears win then 2 things may happen –
•Either price falls sharply (highly unlikely in one shot) OR
•Price moves in range (beginning of distribution phase)
The next phase comes for Distribution which is a very interesting phase.

c. Distribution: This phase is an interesting phase & price spends a lot of time here just like accumulation phase. Whatever stocks Smart Money has accumulated at lower prices, they need to now sell.
In order to sell such huge number of stocks they need to make the market where they find buyers so they create that market. This is where price exhaustion, failed bullish breakouts, failed trend line breakouts occurs.
Price goes up fake & then comes back in the trading range giving retail buyers a feel that it’s a breakout so go for buy. This is where they trap most of the retail buyers & dump their stock inventory to them & get their investment with huge profits back.
They make price move in a specific range where on every rise (near resistance or little abv) they sell their stocks & when price falls a bit they buy a little to create a fake or temporary support & take the price back up where they sell again more than what they previously sold.
This happens few times at various price levels until they offload all their inventory fully which actually breaks the interim support they created & price never look back those levels again & falls like a knife only to head towards where the journey started.

Next phase-Mark Down
d. Mark Down: Once the price breaks the final support level, it falls on its own weight. Retail traders have no clue why the hell price is falling because just now they had seen bullish breakouts.
So they try to average thinking that price will come back to their buying price and they will get out at cost. This little buying actually pulls the price little up but since there is no interest from heavy funds the price don’t go up much.
Since it doesn’t meet the average price of retail trader, they don’t sell in loss and hope that price will go up further. Some other retail traders sell their positions in fear and book losses.
On the other hand, those who missed the initial shorts at the top or at the break of support, now get a price closer to that level which is acting as a resistance, enter fresh shorts now because they don’t want to miss the opportunity this time.
Other retail traders who booked losses & sold in panic combined with fresh shorts accelerates the speed of this fall taking the price further down. Now this stock becomes sell on every rise and enters a perfect downtrend stock (making lower high, lower lows).
So this ends the topic 1 & 2 from Price Action trading secrets. Tomorrow I will share couple of more topics in continuation to what I shared today.
Hope you liked these fundamentals to understand how price moves.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Tweet: https://t.co/36FnYnsRT9


Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.

@ChenHuailun here. I'm adding a supplementary thread before today's scheduled one to expand on the origins and early history of the Church of the East (aka the Nestorian Church) ~ahc #jingjiao 1/


The Church of the East traces its origins to the christological position of the School of Antioch, which held that the human and divine and human essences (ουσία) of Christ were united in a single prosopon (πρόσωπον). ~ahc #jingjiao 2/


This ran against the position of the School of Alexandria, which held that the two essences of Christ were united in a single hypostasis (ὑπόστασις). In general terms, hypostasis is more inherent than prosopon. ~ahc #jingjiao 3/


One implication of the Antiochene rejection of the hypostatic union is that Mary could not accurately be called the Theotokos, or God-bearer. Instead, she is the Christotokos, the Christ-bearer. ~ahc #jingjiao 4/


These Christological debates were further complicated by Syriac terms such as 'kyana' (ܟܝܢܐ), associated with 'ousia' but later translated to 'hypostasis' by Syrian Orthodox; and 'qnoma ' (ܩܢܘܡܐ), sometimes contentiously translated as 'hypostasis' or 'person.' ~ahc #jingjiao 5/

How to create a freelancing website that makes money.

Everything I've learned.

A thread.

As a freelancer,

Your website is everything.

First, prioritise its existence.

Second, prioritise its improvement.

The technology you use is irrelevant.

- WordPress
- Notion
- Carrd
- Wix

It doesn't matter which you choose,

What matters is you have a website.

Pick a platform that you're comfortable with.

If you can:

- Capture leads
- Add content easily
- Have a clear design

You're good.

If your website doesn't get leads,

It's not working.

Don't rest on a website that doesn't work for you.

Improve it until it does.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya


And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

Time for a Thread🧵On yesterday’s “F&O Pe Charcha - Diary Of An Option Seller” with @Mitesh_Engr by @Paytm Money

Why Gain/loss ratio is important that the batting average
• More than the Win Loss ratio check the total Gain /loss ratio
• If your avg loss is 1% and avg gain is +5% then even if you are losing in 7 positions and winning in 3 out of 10 still you will be net profitable

Treat Trading as a business:
• Stick to a single strategy. Eg: A restaurateur usually wouldn’t be changing his recipe on a daily basis
• Mitesh Sir only works on BO or BD strategy, as he is a versatile trader

• Any trader should atleast experience 3 scenarios i.e. bull, bear & consolidation
• Target 4% per month i.e. 48% p.a.
• Option buying requires skill, everyday there wont be huge momentum, so buying options won’t yield good results, but high chances of falling into a bad habit

Stock Selection:
• In F&O segment there are ~150 stocks
• Not everyday all stocks will move
• Only 5-7 stocks move upside or downside
• Focus only these momentum stocks
• Check which one is moving
• Range BO/BD never disappoints. BO/BD from a rectangle (consolidation)
