Common price action trading mistakes that cost me lakhs of rupees:

A thread 🧵

1. Front running the market based on my analysis:

Any analysis we do should be proved by market as correct before we jump into a trade.

How?

(1/n)

 Example:

Mr. X marked 1500 as a strong support in HDFC Bank. Next day, stock opened at 1510, came down and hit 1500.

ABC went long in the stock. A few minutes later, stop got triggered. What went wrong here?

(2/n)
1500 is support for HDFC bank as per Mr. X but he did not wait to check if market validated his opinion.

At supports and resistances marked by a trader (you), wait for market to show the stock is actually taking support/resistance at those levels.

(3/n)
For your analysis to be correct, market buying>selling at support, market selling>buying at resistance.

Essentially, on a lower TF, check for bullish price action at support, bearish price action at resistance before you enter the trade.

(4/n)
Remember that no support is too low to be broken and no resistance is too high to be broken.

(5/n)
2. Having the same timeframes for analysis and trading:

If you are a price action based trader, the most important guiding principle for you is:

1. Higher the timeframe, more accurate and reliable the technical analysis
2. But big moves start on small timeframes first.

(6/n)
Both sound contrarian? Yes, they do.

The key is to balance these two principles and have a structure where you analyze markets on a TF and trade on a TF which complement each other.

(7/n)
Example:

If you are a day trader, do not pick stocks on 15 mins TF and trade on 15 mins. Switch your analysis to hourly TF/daily TF.

It will help avoid choppiness in the markets to a large extent.

(8/n)
3. Taking reversal trades based on divergences:

A divergence is a signal for a potential reversal which MAY occur, but not a confirmation.

Just taking reversal bets on divergence will sooner or later burn big holes in your pocket.

(9/n)
To trade any divergence, have a structured rule based action, (Ex: I use fibs to validate divergences) and then take reversal trades after PRICE CONFIRMTION.

Every divergence does not mean reversal and every reversal does not come with divergence.

(10/n)
4. Using multiple oscillators:

Some people use RSI, MACD, Stoch RSI all on one chart.

On a minute basis, even though these oscillators have their own differences, fundamentally on a broader perspective, they have the same purpose.

(11/n)
Doesn't matter whether you use a analog watch or a digital watch, primary purpose is to check time.

So, pick one oscillator and do not clutter your chart and minds in live markets.

(12/n)
Relying too much on candle patterns:

This could get a bit unpopular but I like to put the truth out:

Bullish candle patterns work well in bull markets and bearish patterns work well in bear markets.

(13/n)
But on the whole, deciding the direction of a stock and taking a trade just based on "one single candle pattern" is injurious to account in the longer run.

(14/n)
Focus on understanding the market mechanism.

Deciding the direction based on just 1 candle without considering the positions of market participants of different timeframes is not a good practice.

Focus on developing an analysis method based on multiple factors.

Introduction to imbalance charts (orderflow trading):

A 🧵

(1/n)

Orderflow charts essentially show the real time buying and selling happening in the markets.

In below chart, you can see how market sell orders are shown to the bid side and market buy orders are shown to the ask side.

(2/n)


Using this, one can identify big buying and selling happening at various prices.

Imbalance charts takes this one step forward. How so? Read on to find out.

(3/n)

Imbalance charts shows buying and selling imbalances at various price points. How does it matter?

Imbalance here implies to what extent is buying more than selling and vice versa.

(4/n)

Why is that important? As a trader, if we know that buying at a particular level is x times more than selling or vice versa, it would help us understand the strength of supply or demand coming into the market.

How to build a successful trading mindset?

A thread 🧵

There is a lot of talk about trading mindset or psychology. But what exactly is trading mindset?

#StockMarket #trading

(1/n)

Trading mindset is the state your mind is in, the thoughts that flow through you and the basis on which you take make various decisions about trading.

(2/n)

More often than not, we know there are certain rules to this business, we know the rules we are supposed to follow to stand a chance to be successful in this business, but we are not able to.

Why?

(3/n)

The problems most traders face are more or less similar but the methods or approach to solve it is different.

Because though the problems are similar, what triggers an individual to go down the wrong way or repeat the same mistake is different.

(4/n)

So in this case, inward reflection to identify the key triggers and working on them with positive affirmations is required.

How I understand the strength of a trend:

For many day traders, the issue is not with identifying the direction but being afraid of when the move will end or reverse.

It is a challenge to identify when a move can continue and convert to a big move n when it can reverse

(1/n)


Reading orderflow data at important levels like previous day low and high (intra low and high are not that reliable levels), one can understand if a move can continue or not.

In the above chart, previous day low broke and market fell before giving a pullback.

(2/n)

Orderflow indicated that large sellers continued to sell when PDL (previous day low) was breaking.

See below chart where sellers sold huge around PDL.

We pulled back to same level and they defended their positions.

(4/n)


OF helps know the strength of a move and the probability of it continuing or not and helps me decide whether to stay in a trade for bigger profits or book out.

Improve your volume analysis using volume profile.

A thread on volume profile 🧵

Traditional volume indicator is widely used by almost every trader.

But it has a handicap: It shows volumes transacted from a time POV but not the price POV.

(1/n)

This is what traditional volume analysis states. But in reality, how effective it is?

(2/n)


It simply shows volume from a timeframe basis. 5 mins volumes on 5 mins TF and so on.

But, is there a different way to read volumes from a price basis? Like, where did largest buying or selling by big players come in?

Read to find more.

(3/n)


This is where volume profile comes in. To put it in the simplest way, volume profile shows volume from a price perspective thus enabling a trader to identify where largest trading has occurred.

But how does this help a trader?

(4/n)

If you can spot the areas where large volumes are being traded, you can spot areas of interest and effectively find areas of support and resistance.

Of course, it is volume that drives the price.

I am planning on hosting a free webinar series on positional and intra trading using a few of my RSI and fibs techniques.

Artificial Inteligence = 🖥️ + 🧠

When can you expect your fridge & mobile phone to revolt against you? (Spoiler Alert: Not in the foreseeable future).

Please Do 're-tweet' the Thread & help me spread the knowledge to more people.


1. The Language
In order to understand Artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, we need to start at the very basics.

Humans speak and understand a wide variety of 'natural' languages (this is what computer science community calls them): like English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil etc.

But have you seen a peculiarity of human languages? They do not have a precise meaning associated with a given sentence. On an average, every English word has 2 meanings. This makes human conversations confusing, with the need for multiple turns & clarifications. Example 👇:

Person 1 conversing with Person 2 face to face:

Person 1: Lets go watch The Dark Knight. Its our marriage anniversary!
Person 2: I dont like going out at night. Its too scary & depressing.
Person 1: Oh, what i meant was watching the movie "The dark Knight".

THE TRADING PROFITS👇

These days you must have seen several traders posting profits,beyond imagination. There are 3 obvious thoughts that too in sequence -
🙂Are they even Real?
🙂Why am I not able to do so?
🙂What the hell am I doing with my life?

Preparing for that gov exam or looking for that private job or even running a business,which is going to pay me just 1/10th of these profits in my entire lifetime?!! Damn,I guess trading is the ONLY thing I need to do.
👉Result : Anxiety,Fomo and feeling of self pitty.

Now to the first question,if they are real or not,yes although social media is filled with fake screenshots,edited profit videos and false p&l,let me tell you that there are SOME GENUINE TRADERS also out there.And to rest all the rumours,YES SOME OF THOSE PROFITS ARE REAL TOO...

👉But then the question is,why are you not able to do so? Instead,the moment you attempt to do so,you are either frustrated or one step closer to bankruptcy?
The reason is the ABILITY to take risk,which differs in both the cases. Let me explain:(Read next)👇

(1) Lets start with Life Insurance

Term Insurance is the best way to take an insurance cover & probably the only product to buy in life insurance. Make sure u disclose all the necessary information before taking the insurance. Smoking, Alcohol, any pre-existing deceases etc(3/n)

Have atleast 10-15 times of your annual income as insurance cover

But there are variants of term insurance that you should avoid (4/n)

(A) Term plan with return of premium

For a non-smoker born on the 1st Jan 1985 & policy term 39 years (till age 75), the regular premium for a 1-cr term insurance is 22,157 (inclusive of GST) but with returns of premium is 42670 (inclusive of GST). An increase of 20,513 (5/n)

So it's now October 10, 2018 and....Rod Rosenstein is STILL not fired.

He's STILL in charge of the Mueller investigation.

He's STILL refusing to hand over the McCabe memos.

He's STILL holding up the declassification of the #SpyGate documents & their release to the public.

I love a good cover story.......

The guy had a face-to-face with El Grande Trumpo himself on Air Force One just 2 days ago. Inside just about the most secure SCIF in the world.

And Trump came out of AF1 and gave ol' Rod a big thumbs up!

And so we're right back to 'that dirty rat Rosenstein!' 2 days later.

At this point it's clear some members of Congress are either in on this and helping the cover story or they haven't got a clue and are out in the cold.

Note the conflicting stories about 'Rosenstein cancelled meeting with Congress on Oct 11!"

First, rumors surfaced of a scheduled meeting on Oct. 11 between Rosenstein & members of Congress, and Rosenstein just cancelled it.

SRI CHAMPAKADHAMA SWAMY, BANNERGHATTA HILL, BENGALURU (KAR)
#bharatmandir

The shrine is dedicated to Sri Vishnu along with Devi Lakshmi and Bhoodevi.
It is built in an area full of Champaka trees.
As champaka flowers are offered to Sri Vishnu here, it is called Champakadhama.


It is believed that King Janmejaya had sarpa-dosha. To get rid of it, he took bath in the nearby pond. He emerged with a golden body and sarpa-dosha was also removed. The pond is called Swarnamukhi and believed to have curative powers.
Sri Vishnu murti was consecrated by him.


It is also believed that this forest area was the Dandakaranya where Sri Ram stayed in exile.
Some believe that the original shrine was built by Pandavas.
The pushkarni/pond is emptied once a year so that the rock at the bottom (which has image of Anjaneya) may be worshipped.

Most software founders, particularly in B2B, need to get radically better at sales. @Steli , who is the best person for explaining the scrappy stages in the beginning and then building out a team with scripts and processes, wrote a guide to:

For technical founders it is irrationally, obscenely hard to reverse years of programming (ba dum bum) that sales is a value-destroying activity. Sales is CLEARLY a value-creating activity, contingent on you have a value-creating product.

The world will not drop what they are doing to adopt your work. This is particularly true in B2B, where simply building a better mousetrap won't overcome the activation energy required to get people with additional non-mice problems to prioritize changing mousetraps today.

This is very non-obvious for founders because founders are not often people who *want* to be sold to. We often come from a background where trying out tools is a bit of a fun hobby. We like looking at all the options, making charts, and ripping out partially complete tests.

"This week I unsuccessfully trialed four software options for automating that thing that has been killing us. Our actual production process remains the same as last week. Don't worry; this was a great use of time." is not a thing you want to write in a progress report to manager.
