Even the biggest handles with 100k+ followers get this simple thing wrong in charting!๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This is the most important thing especially if you are analysing long term charts!๐Ÿง

So, let's get this right today!

USE LOG CHARTS ๐Ÿ“ˆ FOR ANALYSING LONG TERM CHARTS!

Letโ€™s go๐Ÿงต...

1โƒฃ 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...
2โƒฃ 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...
3โƒฃ But, I don't see any problem?๐Ÿค”

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...
4โƒฃ What else?๐Ÿง

- 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)? ๐Ÿค”

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

hmmm... ok๐Ÿ™„
5โƒฃ Let's talk about our hero - 'The Log Chart' ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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

Do you see the change in the same #TATAELXSI chart? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ(Reason in chart)

Yes, but what do you see?..

There you go!
- Price trend visible clearly
- You can identify trends since listing
6โƒฃ 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
7โƒฃ 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...
8โƒฃ 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!
9โƒฃ So, the next time you see a big handle analysing a long term chart with 'Linear chart' like this on #twitter ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธshare this thread on that tweet and kill it๐Ÿ”ช

And, yes switch to 'Log' now...๐Ÿซก
๐Ÿ”Ÿ Learnt something? If yes, please๐Ÿ‘‡

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.

Simple and effective way 2 make Money


Idea 1:- Use pivot level like 14800 in case of nifty and sell 14800straddle monthly expiry (365+335) exit if nifty closes on daily basis below S1 or above R1

After closing below S1 if it closes above S1 next day or any day enter the same position again vice versa for R1

Idea2:- Use R1 and S1 corresponding strikes multiple
Incase of R1 15337 take 15300ce
N in case of S1 14221 use 14200pe
Sell both and hold till expiry or exit if nifty closes below S1 or above R1 around closing
If the same bounces above S1 and falls below R1 re-enfer same strikes

Use same criteria for nifty, usdinr and banknifty

(This is must)Use this margin rule for 1lot banknifty pair keep 4Lax margin
For nifty one lot keep 3Lax
For usdinr 100lots keep 4Lax

I bet you if you do this on consistent basis your ROI will be more than 70% on yearly basis.

Couldn't explain easier than this

Criticisms are most welcomed.
