Thread: Super trend indicator:

Developed by Olivier Seban, Super trend is an indicator plotted on the price chart like a moving average.

Let us discuss three important components of this indicator.

1: Range-price.

In every bar or candle, we have four prices - Open, High, Low, Close.

We have the option to select any price of above to define the trend.

For example, we may define an uptrend as today’s close being above yesterday’s close.

We can also calculate range price of every bar. It is also known as Average price or Mid-price.

Range price = (High + Low) / 2

Have a look at the images below.

In the first Image below , the closing price of each candle is connected to the closing price of the next candle.

In the below chart, the “range-price” or the mid-point of each candle is connected.

Thread: Pivot levels

Trading based on Pivot levels is one of the popular approaches. Both short-term and intraday traders track Pivot levels to identify support and resistance levels in any instrument.

Let’s discuss how these levels are calculated.

The pivot calculation method considers the previous day prices to calculate the support and resistance levels.

There are seven levels marked on the chart when we plot Pivot as a tool.

There is a Pivot level, 3 support levels (S1, S2 & S3) & 3 resistance levels (R1, R2 & R3).

We have four prices for any trading session - Open, High, Low, Close.

They give us the important information about what happened during that session. Levels is calculated using the High, Low & Closing price of the previous day. Let’s understand Pivot calculation with an example

The difference between high and low is a range of the day.

High – Low = Range
In our example, range of the session is 10 points.

105 – 95 = 10

Mid-price of the session is average of high and low price.

The Mid-price in this case would be 100.
(105 + 95) / 2.

Mid-price is average of range of the session. How about including the closing price to this calculation?

If we calculate the average of High, Low and Closing price - we get the Pivot point.

(105 + 95 + 103) = 101 is the Pivot level in our example.

Thread: 5 Important bullish & bearish chart patterns in technical analysis.

Triangles, Broadenings and Rectangles.

#trading #investing

Many traders analyse and practice western chart patterns. There are many such patterns and enough is talked about them in various books and resources.
Long back, I read a book “Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns” by Thomas N. Bukowski. It’s a brilliant work (Must read).

He backtested many patterns & ranked them based on their performance. Most imp is that he separated the patterns based on their performance in uptrend & downtrend.
I read about those patterns at many other places & in different theories and I realised that most of them are-

-variations of broad category of patterns. I have bifurcated these patterns in various categories.

Triangles, Broadenings & Brackets or Rectangle patterns are most common & effective patterns. Below are 5 bullish & bearish proven, time-tested patterns of these categories.

Bullish Patterns:
Rectangle Breakout:
Horizontal pattern breakout. Price remains between two horizontal lines before upward brkout. Its a decent continuation breakout pattern when appears in uptrend. Reversal pattern when appear in downtrend (Decent Risk-reward). Tend to pullback

@rachitagrawal97 Hammer at bottom = bullish
Same pattern is Hanging man when appears at top = bearish
Inverted hammer at bottom = bullish
Same pattern is shooting star when appears at top = bearish.

I have tested bullish & bearish brrakout of these patterns.

Back-testing of some candlestick patterns 🧵

I hv back-tested patterns shown below on 500 stocks (Nifty 500 stock group as on today) since inception on daily timeframe charts.

Below is some interesting information.

I was doing to design multi-chart setups. But the information in the thread can be useful for people practicing candlestick chart patterns. There are many patterns & we keep coming across more. The data can give you a rough idea about the past performance of patterns.

Patterns are defined based on the popular rules of identifying them. I have also tested bearish patterns for bullish trades and vice versa (Contra approach).

Criteria: Hit ratio & returns of pattern giving 1:1 risk-reward if the entry is at the closing price of the pattern.

Some top bullish patterns have below hit ratio:

Inverted Hammer or Shooting Star – 74.72%
Multi-Harami breakout - 65.23%
Bullish Harami cross – 64.6%
Bullish Kicker – 63.53% (Got better returns)
Bullish separating line – 61.69% (It has got better returns)

Doji breakout hit ratio is decent (63.71%) but occurrences are v high so need more confirmation.

Engulfing and Harami patterns have got better returns when traded at next candle of confirmation.

Education on SWINGS

Understanding what is a Swing is crucial in order to understand Market Structure.

It shows us the direction of the market and while it may seem obvious at first sight of the market, many still have trouble defining what a swing is.

You could define swing as simply more then 2 consecutive candles moving in one direction

When you get a few in the opposite direction you have another one

The important thing to note is that HTF swings always have more priority than LTF swings

When you zoom-in from an HTF to an LTF you will always find that one HTF swing always consists of many smaller and smaller lower timeframe swings.

You could refine this until you'd get to a 1-minute chart or even a tick chart and still you'd see the same thing happening in there

An important thing to realize is that you can have many smaller swings inside of one, big swing, and you gotta orientate yourself in this.

This takes time and practice to see as all things do but will give you an immense power over the rest when you do.

Swings also do not have to break it's previous high or low. They can happen in a contraction with HL and LH also commonly known as triangles.

You can also have many moves inside of a one Monthly Bar.
