Even the biggest handles with 100k+ followers get this simple thing wrong in charting!🤦‍♂️

This is the most important thing especially if you are analysing long term charts!🧐

So, let's get this right today!

USE LOG CHARTS 📈 FOR ANALYSING LONG TERM CHARTS!

Let’s go🧵...

1⃣ Wait, What's Log chart?

Before I define Log chart, let's look at the chart you are using daily - 'The Linear Chart'

- Linear chart is used by default in most platforms. This is probably why you never knew log charts

Wait, don't click on 'log' yet before you understand it...
2⃣ ok, so what does Linear chart mean?

Take a look at the image
- The y-axis is separated equally by 1000 points starting from 0 to 11000.
- So, any linear chart would have its y-axis equally separated by 'N' points always

And... that's where the problem lies...
3⃣ But, I don't see any problem?🤔

Ok ok.. let me explain...

- Can you look at this #TATAELXSI chart & tell me the price in '99 when it was listed? No!
- Can you draw a proper trendline in this chart? No!

Reason is because of the price congestion between '07 to '20...
4⃣ What else?🧐

- Whenever there is a price change in an instrument & it's drastic it'd be difficult to analyse on a linear chart

- Look at this example of #BTCUSD. What happened in 2021(refer to the red box)? 🤔

All this is because of the equally spaced Y-axis!

hmmm... ok🙄
5⃣ Let's talk about our hero - 'The Log Chart' 🦸‍♂️

Let's click on log first (refer chart)...

Do you see the change in the same #TATAELXSI chart? 😃(Reason in chart)

Yes, but what do you see?..

There you go!
- Price trend visible clearly
- You can identify trends since listing
6⃣ Here's a side-by-side comparison

- Basically a log scale considers the 'Percentage' price change in the Y-axis which makes a huge difference especially where prices have moved dramatically

- This dramatic price change could have happened in just a month or over many years
7⃣ Ok, so when to use log/linear scale

- See, in the short term charts log/linear scale don't make a difference (Refer chat)
- If you're purely an intraday or a short term trader, then you can continue to use linear charts

But, if price moves drastically(crypto) then use log...
8⃣ But, I am a long term investor + swing/positional trader?

Yes, then you ought to switch to 'Log chart' FOREVER so that...

- You can analyse charts properly
- Draw clean trendlines
- Identify primary trendline/channel reversals

Short term charts should be just fine with log!
9⃣ So, the next time you see a big handle analysing a long term chart with 'Linear chart' like this on #twitter 🤦‍♂️share this thread on that tweet and kill it🔪

And, yes switch to 'Log' now...🫡

From today, we will memorize the names of 27 Nakshatras in Vedic Jyotish to never forget in life.

I will write 4 names. Repeat them in SAME sequence twice in morning, noon, evening. Each day, revise new names + recall all previously learnt names.

Pls RT if you are in.

Today's Nakshatras are:-

1. Ashwini - अश्विनी

2. Bharani - भरणी

3. Krittika - कृत्तिका

4. Rohini - रोहिणी

Ashwini - अश्विनी is the FIRST Nakshatra.

Repeat these names TWICE now, tomorrow morning, noon and evening. Like this tweet if you have revised 8 times as told.

Today's Nakshatras are:-

5. Mrigashira - मृगशिरा

6. Ardra - आर्द्रा

7. Punarvasu - पुनर्वसु

8. Pushya - पुष्य

Purva means that comes before (P se Purva, P se pehele), and Uttara comes later.

Read next tweet too.

Purva, Uttara prefixes come in other Nakshatras too. Purva= pehele wala. Remember.

First recall previously learnt 8 Nakshatras twice. Then recite those in Tweet #4 TWICE now, tomorrow morning, noon & evening in SAME order. Like this tweet if you have read Tweets #4 & 5, both.
I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991."

OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Dalton School...Dalton School...rings a

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
