Interest rates 101: How they influence the market?As individuals, we face decisions every day that implicate saving money for a future use or borrowing money for consumption. If we want to make an investment, one important task for us is the analysis of transactions with present and future cash flows. When we place value on any asset, we are trying to determine the worth of a stream of future cash flows. Money has time value which means that individuals prefer a given sum of money the earlier it is received. Consider the following exchange: You pay $4,000 today and in return receive $3,500 today. Would you accept this arrangement? Not likely. But what if you received the $3,500 today and paid the $4,000 one year from now? Can these sums be considered comparable? Possibly, because a payment of $4,000 a year from now would probably be worth less to you than a payment of $4,000 today. It would be fair, therefore, to discount the $4,000 collected in one year; that means to cut its value based on the time that passes before the money is paid. An interest rate( r ) is a rate of return that reflects the relationship between differently dated cash flows. If $3,500 today and $4,000 in one year are equivalent in value, then $4000 − $3,500 = $500 is the required compensation for receiving $4,000 in one year rather than now. The interest rate—the required compensation stated as a rate of return—is $500/$3,500 = 0.1428 or 14.28 percent. Interest rates can be reflected in 3 ways: 1. Rates of return 2. Discount rates 3. Opportunity costs The opportunity cost is the value that investors are willing to quit by choosing a particular investment over another. If the party who supplied the $3,500 had instead decided to spend it today, he would have forgone earning 14,28% on the money. So, 14,28% is the opportunity cost of current consumption over investing in this example. From the perspective of an investor analyzing the market-determined interest rates we can see an interest rate r as being composed of a real risk-free interest rate plus a set of premiums that are required returns for bearing some different types of risk: r = Real risk-free interest rate + Inflation premium + Default risk premium + Maturity premium + Liquidity premium • The real risk-free interest rate is the interest rate for a completely risk-free security if no inflation is expected. In theory, the real risk-free rate echoes the time predilection of individuals for current versus future real expenditure. • The inflation premium compensates investors for expected inflation and reflects the typical inflation rate expected over the maturity of the debt. The aggregate of the real risk-free interest rate and the inflation premium is the nominal risk-free interest rate . • The default risk premium compensates investors for the risk that the borrower will fail to make a contractually agreed-upon payment on time and in the agreed-upon sum. • If an investment needs to be converted to cash quickly, the liquidity premium compensates investors for the risk of loss relative to the investment's fair value. • When maturity is extended, the maturity premium compensates investors for the increased exposure of the market value of debt to changes in market interest rates (holding all else equal).

The 3-Step Method That Predicts a Change in TrendThe 3-Step Method That Predicts a Change in Trend The three steps are: 1. A trendline is broken. 2. There is a retest and failure. 3. Price falls below the prior low These three steps define a stock that has moved from an dowtrend to a uptrend. Learn these three steps and you will never trade on the wrong side of the trend again. Step 1. A trendline is broken Step 2. There is a retest and failure We know that a stock in an downtrend makes lower highs and lower lows. When a stock fails to do this, we should be begin to question the trend. This stock has now tested that prior low - and failed. So, this stock is no longer making lower lows. But, it is not making higher highs either! So far, there is no confirmation that the trend has changed. Step 3. Price rises above the prior high

The Basic properties of BONDSA bond is a contractual agreement between an issuer and the bondholder. Owning a bond is like enjoying a stream of future cash flows. There are several important features that every bondholder must know before acquiring them: • The bond properties – issuer, maturity, principal, coupon rate and frequency, and the currency in which they are denominated. These properties are determinants of the investor’s expected and actual returns. • The tax and legal framework that applies to the contract between issuer and bondholder • The contingency provisions that affect the bond’s scheduled cash flows. In this article, we will focus on the bond properties and go through them one by one. Issuer Many entities can issue bonds. Usually, bond issuers are classified into categories based on their characteristics: 1. International organizations: World Bank etc. 2. Sovereign governments: The Unites States of America, The United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, etc. 3. Local governments: states, regions, counties 4. Companies: corporate issuers 5. Specialized legal entities Bondholders are exposed to credit risk , that is the risk of loss resulting from the issuer failing to pay the interest and/or repayment of principal. The issuer’s creditworthiness is rated by credit rating agencies . Maturity The maturity date of a bond refers to the date on which the issuer is obligated to pay the outstanding principal amount . A bond’s term of maturity is the length of time in which the bondholder will receive the interest payments on the principal. One notable exception is the perpetual bond , which is a fixed income security with no maturity date. Principal amount The principal amount of a bond is the amount the issuer agrees to pay the bondholder once the bond reaches maturity. The amount is also referred to as par value or nominal value . Bond prices are traded and quoted as a percentage of the principal amount. For example, if a bond’s par value is $100, a quote of 98 means that the price of the bond is worth $98. If the bond is trading below the par value it is said that it is trading at a discount . If the bond is traded above the par value it is said that it's trading at a premium . Coupon rate and frequency The coupon rate of a bond is the interest rate that the issuer agrees to pay each year to the bondholder until it reaches the maturity date. The annual sum paid is called the coupon . For example, a bond with a coupon rate of 3% and a par value of $10000 will pay an annual interest of $300. A conventional bond pays a fixed income rate. However, there are bonds that pay a floating rate of interest; these bonds are called floating-rate notes . All bonds make periodic coupon payments except for zero-coupon bonds , which trade at a discount of their par value and pay zero annual interest. Currency denomination Bonds can be issued in any currency although the largest number of bond issues are made in US dollars or euros. The currency of issue may affect the attractiveness of the bond, that’s why issuers from many countries in the world choose these 2 currencies to attract international investors and offset the disadvantages of their local currencies.

Elliott Waves TheoryEverytime we refer on Elliott Waves theory in our ideas. So let's have a short explanation about what this is today. Elliott Wave Theory is named after Ralph Nelson Elliott (28 July 1871 – 15 January 1948). He was an American accountant and author. Inspired by the Dow Theory and by observations found throughout nature, Elliott concluded that the movement of the stock market could be predicted by observing and identifying a repetitive pattern of waves. _________________________________________ In Elliott’s model, market prices alternate between an impulsive, or motive phase, and a corrective phase on all time scales of trend. Impulses are always subdivided into a set of 5 lower-degree waves, alternating again between motive and corrective character, so that waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulses, and waves 2 and 4 are smaller retraces of waves 1 and 3. In Figure 1, wave 1, 3 and 5 are motive waves and they are subdivided into 5 smaller degree impulses labelled as ((i)), ((ii)), ((iii)), ((iv)), and ((v)). Wave 2 and 4 are corrective waves and they are subdivided into 3 smaller degree waves labelled as ((a)), ((b)), and ((c)). The 5 waves move in wave 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 make up a larger degree motive wave (1) Corrective waves subdivide into 3 smaller-degree waves, denoted as ABC. Corrective waves start with a five-wave counter-trend impulse (wave A), a retrace (wave B), and another impulse (wave C). The 3 waves A, B, and C make up a larger degree corrective wave (2) In a bear market the dominant trend is downward, so the pattern is reversed—five waves down and three up _________________________________________ Always remember: "we don't predict, we react".

Bullish Candlestick's Patterns You Must Know🗒 Just browsing through my analysis means a lot to me. ➡️ Please follow the analysis very carefully and every detail of the chart means a lot. And always entry depends on many reasons carefully studied Always enter into deals when there are more than 5 reasons combined ------------ Bullish Exhaustion Bar ➕A bullish exhaustion bar ---------- opens with a gap down. Then, it works its way up to close near its top In This case, the gap remains unfilled. In addition, high volume should occur with the exhaustion bar. What does it mean? Its name explains it all. It represents exhaustion and a failed lastditch attempt. After the bears are exhausted, the bulls will takeover and the market will rise. After the bulls are exhausted, the bears will take the market down. How do we trade it? 1. Buy above a bullish exhaustion bar ---------------------- ➕Bullish Pin Bar ----- It looks like the nose of Pinocchio. It has a long and obvious tail. For bullish pin bars, the lower tail take up most of the bar. For bearish pin bars, it is the upper tail that dominates. What does it mean? Paraphrasing Martin Pring, the pin bar lies like Pinocchio. With its long tail, a pin bar breaks a support or resistance momentarily to trick traders into entering the wrong direction. These traders are trapped, and there is always money to be made when you find trapped traders. ------------- ➕Bullish Reversal Bar --------- A bullish reversal bar ------ pattern goes below the low of the previousbar before closing higher. What does it mean? For the bullish pattern , the market found support below the low of the previous bar. Not only that, the support was strong enough topush the bar to close higher than the previous bar. This is the first sign of a possible bullish reversal. How do we trade it? 1. Buy above the bullish reversal bar in a uptrend --------------- ➕ Bullish Two-Bar Reversal ----------- The two-bar reversal pattern ------------- is made up of two strong bars closing in opposite direction. The bullish variant consists of a strong bearish bar followed by a bullish bar. Reverse the order to get its bearish counterpart. ------------- What does it mean? Every reversal pattern works on the same premise. A clear rejection of a down thrust is a bullish reversal, and a clear rejection of an up thrust is a bearish reversal. In this case, the first bar represents the first thrust, and the second bar represents its rejection. How do we trade it? 1. For bullish reversals, buy above the highest point of the twobar pattern -------- ➕ Key Reversal Bar ------- A key reversal bar --------- is a specific instance of a reversal bar that shows clearer signs of a reversal. A bullish key reversal bar opens below the low of the previous bar and closes above its high. By definition, key reversal bars open with a price gap. As price gaps within intraday time-frames are rare, most key reversal bars are found in the daily and above time frames. How do we trade it? ----------- 1. Buy above a bullish key reversal bar (If uncertain, wait for price to close above it before buying.) ----------- ➕Bullish 3 Bar's Reversal ------ In sequence, the three bars of the bullish pattern are: ----------- 1. A bearish bar 2. A bar has a lower high and lower low 3. A bullish bar with a higher low and closes above the high of the second bar What does it mean? -------------- A three-bar reversal pattern shows a turning point. Compared to the other reversal patterns, the three-bar reversal pattern is the most 10 Price Action Bar Patterns You Must Know conservative one as it extends over three bars, using the third bar to confirm that the market has changed its direction. How do we trade it? 1. Buy above the last bar of the bullish pattern

⭐ PSYCHOLOGY of TILT⭐ ⭐ LOSING TILT ⭐Hi, My friends! Let's go Forward to knowledge💪🏻Today i made psychological EDU post for You😊 Psychology of Tilt: Losing Tilt Reaction 1. The desire to recoup with increased risk It's difficult to find a market player, who has never had a strong desire to recoup and didn't go on rash actions because of this. When we using the term "tilt" most often we mean precisely this reaction. We can say, that it's the main variety of tilt. And that was given the greatest attention in scientific research, including the desire to recoup is the basis of pathological gambling. Among the factors contributing to the emergence of the desire to recoup can be identified: 📌- Dispersion of the game 📌- Bet size 📌- game speed 📌- Frequency "near misses" The last factor needs clarification. “Near Missing” (near misses) is the outcome of a bet in which the player was defeated, but was close to winning. “Near misses” are less pleasant for a person, than losing without a chance of winning, but at the same time cause a desire to continue the game. 1. Explanation through the theory of perspectives According to this theory, the function of the subjective value of wins and losses has a specific form, and after losing a person falls into that area of the function, which is characterized by a desire for risk. This is easier to show on the chart. Suppose, after losing, the player gets to point A. Due to the features of the left side of the function, any further loss (further movement to the left side) will have less subjective significance for it than a gain (reverse movement to the right side) of the same size. And since potential gains become more significant than potential losses, the desire for risk increases. This function of subjective value is an empirically established pattern. Features of the perception of losses and wins are also characteristic of a person's perception of other phenomena. In other words, a person’s perception of gains and losses in the manner described by them is simply a property of the human psyche. Thus, the desire for risk after losses caused by such a perception is also simply a certain basic characteristic of a person. 2. Explanation through a player error. Player error is a common misconception in understanding random events. A person who is prone to this error believes that the more often a random event occurred in the past, the less likely it will happen in the future and vice versa. This mistake is based on the belief that random manism should not generate extended series of the same type. Due to this mistake, the player after a series of failures will consider that the probability of his future wins has increased and as a result will continue the game with special persistence. It is difficult to argue that the player’s mistake contributes to the desire to recoup with an increased risk. 3. Explanation through the threat of "I". The emerging threat of "I" causes various protective reactions. One of these defensive reactions is the desire to recoup with increased risk: quickly returning the lost money, the player will retain the idea of himself as a fairly strong plus player. It is also worth considering that the threat of “I” is a well-known trigger of anger. And anger mobilizes a person’s energy, instills in him a feeling of confidence and strength, and prepares for an attack. Summing up the consideration of various approaches to explaining the desire to recoup with an increased risk, it is worth noting that these approaches are not mutually exclusive. They rather complement each other. In other words, most people may indeed have some basic tendency to increase risk after losing, which is reinforced by the player’s mistake and perceiving the loss as a threat to “I”. Reaction 2. A sharp risk reduction Not all players are characterized by an increase in risk after a significant loss. Having suffered serious losses, some traders can continue trading, but use only the most reliable strategies, Speaking about the desire to recoup, they almost always assume that this desire is associated with increased risk. However, it is important to understand that lowering the risk does not necessarily mean a complete rejection of attempts to recoup. A reason for avoiding risk after a defeat may be a hot hand fallacy error. A “hot hand” error is another misconception in understanding random events. The essence of the error lies in the fact that after observing a long series of events of the same type, people cease to believe in random outcomes and predict that a series of events of the same type will continue. As a result of this mistake, a player after a series of defeats may begin to think that under the circumstances, his chances of winning are objectively underestimated (“they started a twist against me”) and make a logical decision about the need to reduce the risk.

Have You ever dreamed to become a popular trader?😊Hello, Have You ever wanted to become a popular trader? Have you ever wanted to become famous like Jesse Livermore or, say, Larry Williams? Or do you think that success loves silence? Scientists have calculated that, to one degree or another, 70% of people dream of fame (at least sometimes). That's, by the way, is a natural part of socialization. Here is what the famous American sociopsychologist Orville Gilbert Brim, who studied the nature of fame and ambition, received: 📌 2% of people dream of becoming a celebrity is their main life ambition; 📌In another 30%, the desire for fame is among the main desires; 📌 for more than 40%, the idea of becoming famous appears from time to time; 📌And only the rest (which is less than 30%) do not care about fame. So if we take three traders, then two of them will dream of becoming the "powerful trader" about whom will make legends. Is it good or bad? 🧐 Evolutionarily, the desire for broad personal fame is a socio-psychological mechanism aimed at improving the human race. Great people drive progress, and society rewards them with emotional benefits - reverence, worship, etc. In theory, everything should be cool. In reality, the pursuit of fame can take various forms: 🔎constructive ambition; 🔎non-constructive vanity; 🔎various pathologies. For example, if you wanna be one of the famous millionaire traders, ambition can be a good motivating fuel and will help you grow professionally. But the lust for fame can also ruin a trading career. The problem is, that you can't become a famous trader right off the bat. Let's be frank: worldwide fame is for few. Even in order to gain professional recognition in a narrow circle, you have to work hard. And then the subconscious begins to throw in options, insidiously whispering: "It's okay, that you lost three deposits, took five credits for trading and lose 11 times out of 10. Start a YouTube channel and tell everyone how cool you are!"😉 There is no benefit from such activities. Success is doubtful, and in the worst case, you can even earn the fame of a bla-bla man and be known as an unwise person. But even this is not the most harmful thing. The main problem is that the pursuit of fame is a waste of time and effort. 🔥 A trader chasing emotional illusions ultimately reduces his chances of becoming a professional and gaining real recognition. 🔥 The desire for fame corresponds to the fourth stage of Maslow's pyramid - this is one of the forms of the need for respect / reverence. I already made a post on this topic, I'll leave a link for those who have not seen👇 But it happens that the thirst for fame grows out of completely different needs. Such pathologies include: 🔎Lack of love, which a person tries to compensate with popularity. 🔎The conviction that fame will solve all existing financial, household, social problems. 🔎 Feelings of inferiority. 🔎 Revenge arising from feelings of inferiority. 🔎Envy. In all these cases, there is a substitution of pathological adequate ambitions in life. And the pursuit of fame in an attempt to satiate jealousy, raise self-esteem, etc., takes away resources that could be used to achieve really important goals. 🙏 "I was just doing my job" 🙏 Real recognition comes when a person is on the seventh step of Maslow's pyramid, symbolizing the need for self-actualization. Simply put, is engaged in life's work. One beats, beats to achieve fame, while the other just works quietly, creates, does something there - and recive glory on a silver platter. Although he may not have expected it at all. In general, everything is simple: do the job, and the rest will follow. By the way, psychologists warn that if the desire for fame becomes the leading motive of activity, then it's - "blocks creativity and destroys personality." This doesn't mean, that you are forbidden to dream about how you will become a famous trader. But this dream should not be the main one, or only one. By the way, how can a trader become famous? From whom take an example? After all, the paths of glory are so different. For example, you can gain fame: 🔥demonstrating inspiring examples of the play of the mind and the ability to rise after defeat, like Jesse Livermore 🔥revolutionizing stock trading like Charles Doe and Edward Jones; 🔥breaking stereotypes, like Linda Raschke, who became one of the first tough women traders; 🔥becoming a champion in trading and writing a bunch of books like Larry Williams; 🔥deceiving Hitler and becoming one of the main figures in CME history like Leo Melamed ... 🔥And some are overtaken by the glory of Herostratus - like, for example, Nick Leeson, who in one fell swoop swung over a billion and ruined Barings Bank, which entrusted him with money management. I wish each of You - happiness to do something, that really brings You joy, because: SUCCESS IS NOT THE KEY TO HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS! If you love what you do, you will be successful! Always keep it in Your mind and don't forget about Rocket Bomb 🚀💣 💙💛

Using MA on BTC's example!Hi! Moving averages are one of the most popular technical indicators. They have various types, but they have one purpose - to determine the current trend by smoothing out volatility and noise. Let's look how MA works on price movement of BTC! The crossing of the slow MA by the fast one from bottom upwards gives a signal to buy, from top to bottom - to sell - The simplest form of a moving average is known as a simple moving average (SMA). It is found by calculating the arithmetic average prices for a certain period of time; - Exponential Moving Average (EMA) assigns more weight to the latest data, which is why it is more preferable; - The main functions of moving averages include identifying trends and pivots, as well as support and resistance levels; - Moving average can be a risk management tool. Thanks to it, you can set a stop loss and cut a losing position; - The most popular moving average signals are their intersection with the price or their intersection with each other; - Crossing of the moving average price upwards gives a signal to buy, downwards - to sell; - Moving average signals can be false when pairs are trading in flat or when a gap forms; - Moving averages should be combined with various indicators and oscillators. So their signals will be more accurate, which will lead to the opening of profitable positions. Hope My post was helpful for You♥️ Stay tuned by Rocket Bomb 🚀💣

The Link Between Inflation, Rising Bond Yield, & Market Sell-offAggravated by Jerome Powell's speech at the Wall Street Journal Jobs Summit, the tech-led sell-off continues, causing the Dow Jones Industrial Average to fall by 1.11%, S&P 500 by 1.34%, and Nasdaq Composite by 2.11%. On that note, the 10-year Treasury yield also popped to 1.541% during Jerome Powell's speech, later closing at that level for the day. But how, specifically, did Jerome Powell cause the market to sell-off yesterday? Let's find out. Prior to Jerome Powell's speech, there were already a substantial amount of tension surrounding the bond market and concerns regarding inflation. A key event occurring recently that brought a great deal of attention to the acceleration of rising bond yields were the sudden spike in 10-year Treasury yield back in 2/25/21 from 1.38% to 1.54% - temporarily jumping as high as 1.6%, when an auction of US$62 billion 7-year notes was met with weak demand. This rattled the stock market because investors were not ready for the velocity of the 10-year Treasury yield surge. Instead, they were expecting for yields to gradually inch higher throughout the year. In an effort to pinpoint the exact reason for the surge, many conclusions were drawn. One of which relates to inflation concerns. Over the course of the pandemic, trillions in fiscal relief has been delivered, of which an addition $1.9 trillion in fiscal package is expected to come from the Biden Administration. With so much money printed and nowhere to flow yet due to economic lockdown as a result of the pandemic, investors fear that once the economy reopens again, pent-up demand will drive people to go on vacation and spend in masses, injecting all the printed money over the course of the pandemic into the economy all at once, driving inflation up at a rate that has not been seen since the 2008 Financial Crisis. Due to this belief of a looming inflation, it makes bond that are purchased currently potentially worthless because of possible subpar yield. As a result, people flock away from bonds at the moment because they are expecting that yields will rise going forward in order to compensate for inflation risk. Thus, yields are continuously being driven up. However, with the sudden spike in yield, it creates uncertainty around whether we will be seeing an acceleration of rising bond yields and possibly indicate that inflation could be around the corner. The possibility of this scenario is further amplified by vaccination efforts contributing to a recovering U.S. economy, and the incoming $1.9 trillion fiscal package that could further inflate the economy going forward while pushing the economy further into the recovery. Taking all of this into account, let's go back to Jerome Powell's speech. Having understood all of these, investors were looking at Jerome Powell to see whether he would give any indication on how he plan to control the acceleration of the rising bond yield, perhaps through an adjustment of the Fed's asset purchase program, where they will step up on the purchasing of long-term bonds to drive down long-term interest rates, or even extending the Supplementary Leverage Ratio that will be expiring on 3/31/21, so that banks can further help with the purchase of long-term bonds. However, in his speech, Jerome Powell said nothing of the sort, in which the market took as a signal that yields could rise further, triggering the sell-off even further, and driving the 10-year Treasury yield further up to a level that matches the initial 10-year Treasury yield spike back in 2/25/21. In fact, Jerome Powell made supposedly positive remarks stating that he expects the rise in inflation as the economy recovers to only be temporary, that he does not expect the move up in price to be long-lasting nor does he expect it to be enough to change the Fed's accommodative monetary policy, among others. With the market sell-off and surge in yield during his speech, it is clear that the market neither believes his words nor views it positively. To conclude, we are now in a very volatile situation where stocks no longer just goes up. We cannot control the direction of the market, but what we can control is how we deal with this situation emotionally and monetarily. Don't get too hung up on the short-term bearishness of the current market condition because if you zoom out your chart, in the grand scheme of things, this is just a tiny bleep. As such, if you believe that we will eventually recover from this market sell-off, use this as an opportunity to buy into your favorite companies at a huge discount. Invest safe.

THE SINE WAVE MARKET THEORY TO PREDICT TOPS AND BOTTOMSOkay, let's get straight to it. In physics and mathematics, a sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes a smooth periodic oscillation. Key Points: You only need to understand 3 concepts about a wave: Waves are described using the following terms: Peak – the highest point above the rest position. Trough – the lowest point below the rest position. Time period – the time taken for a full cycle of the wave. Usually measured from peak to peak, or trough to trough. Source: BBC Let's apply it in the financial markets: Peak = Top Trough = Bottom Time Period = The time taken for a complete market cycle. TRUTH IS YOU DON'T NEED FANCY INDICATORS. Using these three key information, you can detect the top and bottom of any market given it forms one full cycle. Apply it and backtest it. Lemme know your surprises.
