5 Ways Weekly Charts can help your Trading & Investing

📈📉 (Thread)

 Weekly charts are a powerful timeframe, and regardless of your style, they can help you gain perspective on a particular setup and identify its potential
Using higher timeframes slows the action down and allows you to calmly analyze price and volume.

This will lead to better decision making.
For investors learning to analyze weekly charts and their trends can only complement your fundamental analysis.

For traders they are the "prevailing wind" and trading with this weekly trend will increase probabilities and help you remember to focus on larger patterns
1⃣ Weekly Charts show the True Trend of a Stock

Weekly charts eliminate a lot of the back and forth that occurs intraday and on daily charts. What is left is often a clear picture of the trend of a stock.

⬆️ Trending Up
↔️ Basing
⬇️ Trending Down
To identify this trend you are going to want to plot a 10 week SMA and a 30 week SMA on your charts

During a strong uptrend you will be amazed at how well the 10 week line acts as a guardrail for a stock's move

$ZM increased 450% in 10 months, undercutting the 10 week only once
This is not simply a 2020 occurrence. Most stocks which make significant moves > 100% show respect for the 10 week line.

This is because it is often a spot where institutions build/add to positions on pullbacks.

$DOCN advanced 150% in 6 months holding the 10 week sma
The same is true if you look back at the best performing stocks in history. The 10 week sma is consistently an area of support.

Here's is $HD's powerful move in 1981

The red line is the 10 week SMA.
The 30 week moving average is just as useful for investors and traders for identifying the stage of the stock

Stage 1 - Basing
Stage 2 - Advance
Stage 3 - Consolidation
Stage 4 - Distribution

The big money in made during S2 Uptrends and the big money is lost in S4 Declines
S1 - Price chops back & forth around a declining to flat 30 week MA

S2 - Starts with a big volume breakout from a base, Price starts trending above a rising 30 week MA

S3 - Price chops around a flattening 30 week ma

S4 - Price starts trending below a declining 30 week MA
Stage Analysis, developed by Stan Weinstein, shows the long term trend of any stock.

Both investors and traders should focus on stocks beginning or in Stage 2 Uptrends.

My Interview with Stan:

2⃣ Weekly Charts reveal the footprints of Institutions.

Institutions can't hide when they begin and continue accumulating positions.

Look for.

✅ Huge Volume Spikes
✅ Tight Weekly Closes
✅ Increasing average weekly volume
Look at the chart of $TSLA since 2019. Notice how breakouts from bases are accompanied by volume well above the 10 week average, & within bases volume dries up.

Look at significant volume weeks and determine based on context and CR if a stock is being accumulated or distributed
$SNAP is a great example of tight closes within a base suggesting institutions drew a line in the sand and were accumulating shares.

Also look for this after a breakout to see if institutions are still building positions
$FUTU is an example of weekly volume increasing during a move. As it does this the stock becomes more liquid and larger institutions can get involved.
3⃣ Focusing on Weekly charts reminds us that the biggest moves come from larger patterns.

100% + moves begin with a long basing period and a strong breakout.

Focus on 👇

✅ Recent IPOs after their first big base
✅ Mature names after they have consolidated
$NVDA has had multiple moves out of long basing patterns. This allows shares to fully transfer from short term players to longer term institutions
Recent IPOs often start long term moves out of their first primary base.

4⃣ Weekly Charts Remove the Noise. Limit Decisions

As mentioned previously, weekly charts remove intraday and daily chop. The stock can move a lot throughout the week but it is the institutions who control where it closes.
The weekly action and trend supersedes the intraday and daily movements of a stock.

Always make sure you are stacking probabilities and trading with the weekly trend.
For investors, Weekly Charts are a great way to use technical analysis and time trades since there are a lot less signals to work with.

Position and even swing traders should also consider buying on a daily chart but then switching over to a weekly once the trend is established
This is especially helpful after a significant correction when trends can last a lot longer than we think and daily noise can scare us out.

Here's an example with $PTON buying on the daily and then managing the position on a weekly.

When the weekly trend changes PAY ATTENTION.
5⃣ Identify Key Levels and Pivots

Weekly chart highs and closes are excellent pivots to use on a daily chart for shorter term traders.
Inside weeks especially provide clear pivots for swing traders. These are volatility contractions on a lower timeframe.
Trading off weekly levels is a great way to improve the probability of a trade working since the weekly players are involved as well not just the daily and intraday traders.

The Importance of Trading Rules (Quick thread)

Last week I sent out this poll asking if people have a written


Over 60% of people said they did not have one.

It's now one of my main goals to get as many people as possible to commit to writing their own rules which codify their goals and methods.

I strongly believe that writing down your strategy especially if you are a new trader/investor will lead to improved and more consistent performance in the stock market.

Trading the markets is a tough business, money is on the line and emotions can run high.

Preparing ahead of time is essential so that in the moment you are just executing your plan.

This is the best way to stay in the game for the long haul

In the fall of 2018, I signed up for a class called "Introduction to the Stock Market and Technical Analysis" taught by Dr. Eric Wish

This class changed my life.

Here are 10 Lessons Dr. Wish taught me from his over 50 Years of Trading.

(Thread)

Before this class I had absolutely no knowledge about investing, trading, or how to read a stock chart

Today, trading & studying the commonalities between the greatest performing stocks is my passion, and what I’ve spent the past 1000+ days focused on

Now onto the first lesson

Financial Literacy

The first lesson Dr. Wish taught me was the importance of overall financial literacy.

Roth IRAs, interest rates, budgeting, building credit the right way.

You need to master money management before thinking moving on to trading/investing.

Overall Strategy

Throughout the class, Dr. Wish repeated his trading mantra.

As you gain trading knowledge and experience, you'll appreciate the simplicity and depth of this one sentence:


Determine the Market Trend

The vast majority of stocks follow the overall trend of the market. This is why the mantra begins with “In a Rising Market”

"At least 50% of the whole game is the general market."

How to time the market (thread)

There is the old saying that “Time in the market beats timing the market” The chart below from Dr. Wish’s @WishingWealth presentation at the @TraderLion_ conference shows that to be false.

Full presentation: https://t.co/o2f21GBXci


The green line is unattainable realistically, however, missing volatile times during corrections yields better performance than buy and hold and we can aim for the green line.

Investors usually only show the gray and red results.

More

There are many strategies for investing/trading in the stock market operating within different timeframes and with different objectives.

That is of course what creates a market and opportunity. Timing the market may not be what works for you or what fits your goals/lifestyle.

However, everyone involved in the market is here to make money over time and corrections can cause huge drawdowns in the high alpha names negating incredible performance during strong market uptrends.

What is a True Market Leader / TML (Thread)

(And how to find them)

In one sentence a TML is an institutional quality stock in a leading industry group with superior fundamentals and technicals

These are monster stocks which over the course of weeks and months increase +100% to +5,000%

TMLs are popular with traders/investors whose methodology is based on the CANSLIM system developed by William O'Neil.

He called them Model Book Stocks. Huge winners worth studying to identify common characteristics that they all share

O'Neil studied over 1000 model book stocks going back to the 1880s.

Many are shown and discussed in these must read books

Why Patience is so Important as a Trader

🧵👇

Have you ever felt like everyone around you is making money and you're not?

That's how I felt today after the market closed, while I was reflecting on my week.

In fact, over the past three months I've felt like this on multiple occasions!

If we look at my equity curve (EC), updated as of today's close, we can see multiple periods in which my account balance did not change.

A Guide to Position Sizing

--- Thread 🧵 ---

To perform in the market, position sizing needs to be the main focus.

This is what ultimately separates the good from the great.

It will make no difference on your account if you have a 100% gain in a name with only 1% of your equity.

It will make a huge difference on your account if you have a 100% gain in a name with 20%+ of your equity.

There are 2 consistent ways to position size in the markets 👇

1️⃣ Position Size Based on Risk
2️⃣ Position Size Based on Number of Edges

1️⃣ Position Size Based on Risk

Before you take a position in a stock, you must know how much you are willing to lose on a trade.

We recommend never risking more than 1% of your overall account equity on any single trade, especially if you are in the consistency phase.

As traders, we primarily compete with ourselves to honor our rules and execute our edges.

With money on the line, trading is an incredibly strenuous mental game where emotions can flare up leading to costly mistakes

The Importance of Mastering Trading Psychology.

(Thread) 👇

Trading Psychology or the Mental Game of Trading encompasses solving problems regarding emotions such as Greed, Fear, Anger, Confidence and Discipline.

Contrary to popular belief, having a strong mental game does not mean eradicating emotion.

Instead, it means learning to transcribe your emotions into data that you can use and analyze to connect past states to current ones.

Trading is a performance sport.

We execute at our highest ability when we can use emotions as fuel and for intuition but are not so dominating that they cloud our judgment.

Think about the best athletes in the world : Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, Messi, Ronaldo, Federer, Nadal...

They compete with passion, emotion. This drives them and they are able to unlock their full potential.

What to look for when the market gets volatile. (Thread)

↓

The first thing you should be on the lookout for is tight price action in leadership names. During corrective markets, liquidity is low as market participants take a step back due to uncertainty.

This leads to larger price ranges and therefore tight action is a sign that liquidity is returning to the markets.

As certainty returns, price action becomes tighter and more rational.

This type of action is much easier to operate in as a retail trader since it allows you to define risk which is always first and foremost in any trading strategy.

Another key thing to look for is multiple RS days within specific stocks and groups.

RS ( Relative Strength) Days occur when a stock outperforms the market and other stocks during a corrective period.

Black movie goers know which movies are for us and which films aren’t. We really don’t like our stories being made into films that center (and humanize) people that hate us. The filmmakers/studio know that by naming the film “The Green Book”, black movie goers...

...are going to be expecting a story about black people trying to safely navigate the country (real history) and instead will get a white savior film. Like folks went to see Detroit thinking it was about the riots...

Anywhoo, I know Mahershela is fantastic in it. He was the best thing about the trailer. As rich as the history behind the creation of ‘The Green Book’ is/was, as amazing as Dr. Don Shirley’s story is, WHY is this film about a random, racist driver and his family?

This feeds into the ignorant anti-Black American stereotype of “Black Americans don’t have any culture/history/mythology” or whatever. That our stories are still both being used while simultaneously erased in 2018 is wild to me. It’s gonna clean up come award season. 🤦🏾‍♀️

And now, if black filmmakers WANTED to make a film about The Greenbook, guess what it can’t be called🙃. Just like if someone wanted to make a film about the actual Detroit riots, guess what it can’t be called? Then those filmmakers would run into...

Benefits of writing SRI RAMA Jayam!!!

Writing Sri Rama Jayam is known as Likitha Japam- Writing Meditation. This gives one a complete sense of surrender to an inner conscience and peace while writing or chanting the mantras.

#Sri_Rama_Jayam #RamaNavami

Cont 👇

You can write this in any language of your choice. It is the connecting chords with the divine and your inner self.

Below are some points that we came across on the benefits :

Cont 👇

1. Vedas tell that as the sun dispels the darkness, the chanting of Rama Nama dispels all evil and obstacles of life. It is a way of liberation and salvation of human suffering.

2. When you think, that all roads are blocked to walk away from day to day problems..

Cont 👇

writing ‘Sri Ram Ram Ram’ gives you the most needed clarity of thoughts to find away out of odd situations.

3. It was told that a calmness engulfs as one indulges in writing the Sri Rama Jayam bringing in more clarity of mind, tolerance & strength to withstand obstacles in life.

4. Devotion of service of life and its varied forms is devotion to God. So there is no right or wrong way of writing this. The very thought and process to write is a connection with god and finds a inner meaning.

👨‍💻 Last resume I sent to a startup one year ago, sharing with you to get ideas:

- Forget what you don't have, make your strength bold
- Pick one work experience and explain what you did in detail w/ bullet points
- Write it towards the role you apply
- Give social proof

/thread


"But I got no work experience..."

Make a open source lib, make a small side project for yourself, do freelance work, ask friends to work with them, no friends? Find friends on Github, and Twitter.

Bonus points:

- Show you care about the company: I used the company's brand font and gradient for in the resume for my name and "Thank You" note.
- Don't list 15 things and libraries you worked with, pick the most related ones to the role you're applying.
-🙅‍♂️"copy cover letter"

"I got no firends, no work"

One practical way is to reach out to conferences and offer to make their website for free. But make sure to do it good. You'll get:

- a project for portfolio
- new friends
- work experience
- learnt new stuff
- new thing for Twitter bio

If you don't even have the skills yet, why not try your chance for @LambdaSchool? No? @freeCodeCamp. Still not? Pick something from here and learn https://t.co/7NPS1zbLTi

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.
