SURPRISING SCIENTIFIC FACT ABOUT TRADINGBINANCE:BTCUSD 1. Three-quarters of dealers rated themselves above average, which is consistent with results from other psychological studies of overconfidence. Statistically, only 50% should have rated themselves as above average without the effect of overconfidence. 2. Dealers also overestimate their professional success, an effect known as the “better-than-average-effect”. 3. Trading experience eliminates the reluctance to realize losses. 4. Individual investors who think that their investment skills or past performance are above trade more frequently. 5. By examining over 400 traders with trading experience over 12 years at a bank, currency dealers show two types of overconfidence. They tend to overestimate the precision of their information and their personal competence. 6. The most senior traders are no less overconfident than their more junior colleagues. 7. In theory, irrational traders will be driven out of asset markets by trading losses. However, the examination of 400 experienced traders indicates that overconfident currency traders are not driven out of the market despite losses. 8. Overconfidence among foreign exchange dealers could affect equilibrium exchange rates. 9. Chinese investors make trading mistakes (selling winners and hold on to losers), they are reluctant to realize their losses, they tend to be under-diversified, they seem to trade often and they show a representativeness bias. 10. Middle-aged investors, active investors, wealthier investors, experienced investors and those living in urban cities are often unable to overcome behavioral biases. 11. Investors who were successful before trading online believed that their successes are due to their own investment abilities and become overconfident. Once individuals start trading online, investors have access to vast amount of data which can lead to the illusion of knowledge. Furthermore, managing their own trades by the click of a mouse leads to the illusion of control. All of these factors lead to increased overconfidence. 12. The response of exchange rates to stop-loss orders is larger, and lasts longer, than the response to take-profit orders. 13. Stop-loss orders are sometimes triggered in waves. 14. The reversal frequency at round numbers is greater than the reversal frequency at arbitrary price levels in 79% of examined 10 day periods. 15. Exchange rates trend faster after crossing round numbers which suggest that stop-loss orders propagate trends. 16. Large stop-loss orders are tightly clustered near rates ending in 00. In contrast, very large take-profit orders are not clustered. 17. Adding technical analysis, like moving averages to investment rules, can outperform other trading strategies. 18. Significant excess returns are possible using technical analysis in foreign exchange markets. 19. Technical trading rules exist for NASDAQ Composite and Russell 2000 but not for DJIA and S&P 500. Rules of technical analysis even generate significant profits and improve unprofitable trading rules. 20. Technical trading profits have gradually declined over time in 12 futures markets. 21. Stock prices temporarily rise following widely talked about events before reversing to pre-event levels over the next five days. On average, individuals lose 0.88% when prices reverse. 10 22. Attention-grabbing events lead active individual investors to be net buyers of stocks. 23. Individual investors who currently hold a company’s share, sell as prices increase during upper price limit events. 24. Individual investors are more likely to trade an S&P 500 index stock after an earnings announcement if that announce­ment was covered in the investor’s local newspaper. 25. The presence or absence of local media coverage is strongly related to the probability and magnitude of local trading. ❤️ Please, support my work with follow ,share and like, thank you! ❤️

Top 15 mistakes and solutions in trading TOP 15 Trader's Mistakes 1 - Lack of knowledge of market operation, technical and fundamental analysis, mass psychology and market cycles In the boom period, when a large number of new participants enter the market, many people believe themselves to be the "god of trading" and the "master of the markets." Beginners are satisfied with a 10-20% profit during the expansion phase, whereas quotes for liquid cryptocurrencies show a gain of 30/50/150%. Everything is contrary to the logic of the majority, which is how markets function. Sadly or luckily, the majority of individuals make common errors and are unable, due to a lack of understanding, to differentiate the fine line when an uptrend is replaced by a downturn and the distribution phase is replaced by a prolonged decline. At the moment of trend reversal, a psychological trap and a sequence of catastrophic events are established for the majority of participants, and a number of concomitant circumstances and lack of experience make it impossible to see the situation objectively. When the market is at its "bottom," the majority loses faith in growth: some sell out and abandon the market, while others wait even lower, do not purchase, and begin shopping only when everything has increased by hundreds of percent. Solution Study theory. Dow Jones theory, the fundamentals of technical and fundamental analysis, and any information regarding market cycles will be of great use. Examining the graph using large timescales, such as days, weeks, and months. You may find a wealth of material about the fundamentals of trading in the public domain or in the trading part of our website. 2 - Covetousness resembles a psychological trap Trading greed presents itself in numerous ways. Many are attracted to the cryptocurrency market by the idea of quick money, but the majority's problem is a lack of understanding of the mechanisms that move the market and how it functions. In order to arouse greed, pampas are constructed with a single "stick to the sky." Everyone sees a growth of 1000%, and as a result, earnings of 20/40/50 and even 200% no longer appear so promising, people do not sell, they are waiting for more, and the price falls into the red. Purchasing a full deposit's worth of cryptocurrencies in a single transaction is also greedy. The typical justification for such a "tactic" is that 10% of the overall deposit is greater than 10% of the portion of the deposit. Yet, when the price declines, the trader incurs losses and cannot cut the average entry price at lower values. Another example is missed opportunity syndrome, or FOMO. The price of the item has climbed by an inadequate amount over the course of one or more candles. Seeing this process, a novice decides to purchase the asset because he believes the price will continue to rise, resulting in losses. Many make the mistake of wanting to gain a lot of money quickly, but this is impossible. Fear and greed are particularly harmful emotions for traders. Solution The market requires a sensible strategy. Greed stems from inexperience and the fear of being late. Refrain from making decisions based on emotions and haste. It is essential to recognize that chances arise and disappear regularly on the market. Before initiating a trade, you should assess and justify your motives for doing so. 3 - Trading in emotional instability and excitement Any emotion in trading is detrimental. The decision to enter or exit a transaction must be calculated beforehand, devoid of emotion and haste. Emotions make it difficult to appraise the situation accurately, and you run the danger of making a mistake that may result in losses. Yet, since emotions are innate, it is impossible to eradicate them entirely; however, they can be managed. If emotions prevail, it is time to close the trading terminal and go on to other tasks. If you wake up at night to check bitcoin prices or are unable to fall asleep, this indicates that you have already made key errors in your risk management system, or that you do not have one. And this requires immediate action and, as much as possible, a "cool" head. Solution Take a break from the trading terminal, spend time with loved ones, or go for a stroll; you need emotional relief and rest from time to time. Sports are effective stress reducers. If you have already reached the point of insomnia and emotional breakdowns, you must conduct a thorough analysis of your risk management strategy and take sometimes difficult measures. If you have executed a number of unproductive transactions or one with an insufficient loss and you have the impression of "winning back," close the trading terminal immediately and do not trade on this day. Do not treat trading as a game of chance; in this emotional condition, you have no chance of success. 4 - leveraged trading Margin instruments can be effective in the hands of a competent trader, though not always and only under certain conditions. This is simply an unmanageable machine for liquidating a deposit in the hands of a novice. Futures and margin are verboten for rookie traders, since you face the risk of not having time to develop experience, but losing your deposit instantly. The average daily volatility of liquid instruments in a sideways movement can reach 3 to 10%, which indicates that squeezes may exceed adequacy when utilizing the 10th leverage - movements by 30 to 100% - on low-liquid pairs. When utilizing such leverage, setting a stop-loss is already problematic, as a stop-loss that is too far away would result in enormous losses in the event that it is triggered, and in nine out of ten situations it will be eliminated by an acceptable percentage. In addition, you will pay a commission for financing, taking into account leverage and transaction commissions. Exchanges will gladly offer you with as much leverage as you like, but this is no longer trading; with this strategy, you have a greater chance of winning money at a casino. Solution Study the fundamentals of trading, master numerous techniques, develop your own trading strategy, and gain real-world trading experience on the spot market by physically purchasing and selling various assets. You will eventually comprehend how the market operates. Under certain circumstances, success on the spot market can be enhanced with margin. 5 - Uselessness of stops Stops in trading are a substantial issue; stop-loss orders are covered in a different article. Stop-loss orders are frequently used irrationally or ignored by novice traders. Traders can be roughly divided into two groups: those who always use stops and those who prefer to operate without them. However, these are extremes. A stop positioned too closely is liable to be obliterated, while the absence of a stop under certain conditions can result in enormous losses. It is irrational to use stops during the accumulation phase because, in about eight out of ten instances, stops are eliminated precisely at those levels when there is a substantial accumulation of them, following which the price reverses and moves in the opposite direction. And when a significant upswing is established after a period of accumulation, a knockout almost always comes; it would be a shame to watch the price rise without participating. Yet there is a tight line here; you must be certain for a large percentage that this is the accumulation period, and you need also have a plan for price averaging, i.e. fiat in reserve. It is irrational to work in the distribution phase without stopping, just as it is crazy to labor in the accumulation phase with a pause. This is significant because many people lose in these situations due to lack of expertise. Eventually, the distribution is finished and a decline occurs, frequently abruptly and by a substantial percentage. Stopping dramatically minimizes the loss. If you have already opened a position and the price moves significantly in your favor, it becomes sense to place a stop-loss to safeguard profits so that if the price reverses, you will still make a profit and not a loss. While dealing with margin instruments, stops are required! Solution If you have no trading experience, we recommend that you constantly utilize stops until you understand how they operate. If the fundamentals are understood, they should be applied sensibly to the circumstance. Similarly, if you were stopped out by a stop, you do not need to re-enter the trade, pause trading, identify what went wrong, and then determine the next entry point. 6 - Non-fixing losses incurred when the price moves against you but you do not close your position If a trader becomes an investor owing to circumstances rather than his own volition, he is a poor trader. The "HODL strategy" is an explanation for a trader's insolvency and their own faults. Long-term asset freezing is the worst thing that can happen to a trader - "I'll wait out the crypto winter and still sell for a profit" is not a trader's behavior model. It does not matter to a trader what the current trend is; he must have effective strategies for any scenario. Waiting out losses is a waste of resources since there is volatility at every price level, and volatility is an opportunity to make money. Trading on financial markets necessitates the presence of lost deals; it's just the nature of the business. No trader has 100 percent profitable trades, and this is typical. Profitable trades must cover bad trades, and losses must be contained. If you are unwilling to recover losses when the price moves against you, you lose control of the situation and become a victim of circumstances. Solution Before entering a trade, you should have a contingency plan in place in the event that the price moves against you. In certain circumstances, this may involve deliberate averaging, while in others, it may include fixing losses. Recognize that losing transactions are a normal part of the process. 7 - Transaction concluded too quickly We touched on this topic briefly at the beginning of the article. The scenario is typical: a trader enters a position and the price begins to move in his favor. The trader takes profit at the predetermined level, but the price continues to rise. In itoge, fixed profit represents a modest proportion of the whole movement. The circumstance is representative of a powerful trend. It would be a stretch to call this a mistake because the profit is fixed; however, in the case of a trading strategy with a limited number of assets, it can take a very long time to wait for the price to roll back below the exit point, in some cases an entire year, and in other instances, the quote may not return to its previous levels. Solution 8 - Depending on your trading approach, there are a variety of solutions, including: The gradual sale of a previously acquired asset at varying prices. Selling of a portion of the asset to remove the invested funds from the transaction and earn a little return, reserving the remaining position (conditionally free asset) for longer-term objectives. Profit protection with a stop-loss order and its progressive approach to the quote, but not too close so as not to be eliminated prematurely. Deviation from the strategy or vice versa - lack of action flexibility Confusion, agitation, and swinging between extremes are certain indicators of a lack of a trading strategy or an indication that it was constructed wrong. Planned action eliminates the possibility of unanticipated situations and makes risks manageable. The plan must account for both potential profits and losses. Frequent strategy adjustments during the trading process are typically detrimental. The contrary is also true: a trading strategy must be adaptable to the current market environment. For instance, you are in a position and the price is moving in your favor, everything is going as planned, you are almost at your goals, but then you learn that the project whose coin you are trading was hacked. In such a circumstance, you will have very little time to make a choice. In such a circumstance, blind adherence to the strategy will definitely result in losses. Solution Your activities must be automated, and you must have a well-thought-out trading plan that takes into consideration all possible eventualities. In the event of a force majeure, it is vital to make swift decisions and build market-specific flexibility. 9 - "Finding knives." Investing a major portion of the deposit in the purchase of an asset amid a severe price decline is a bad choice. It is known as "catching knives" in business parlance. No one can accurately predict where the price will stop fluctuating and begin to consolidate. Before making a decision based on a thorough analysis of the situation, it is vital to comprehend the core cause of such a decline. You cannot make purchases after the upcoming autumn without comprehending the market's overall condition. After distribution at the peaks, the value of altcoins can decrease by 70 to 99 percent. To clarify, an asset in a bear market can lose 50% in a day, 50% in price, another 50% in a day, and another 50% in a day dozens of times before reaching its ultimate bottom. In addition, it is not a certainty that he would recover after this, particularly if it is an illiquid asset, of which there are thousands. Solution If you continue to employ this technique in your trading strategy, you should limit your exposure by allocating a smaller portion of your entire deposit and bear in mind that this "bottom" may not be the last one. With this strategy, it is crucial to master the fundamentals of technical analysis and how to construct horizontal levels and trend lines. 10 - Absence of system, algorithm, and subjective opinion You must know beforehand where you are buying and selling, what portion of your deposit you are working on, the permissible losses, and the rationale for these activities at the same levels. All of this is a trading strategy. In acts, there should be no spontaneity, excessive self-assurance, or hesitancy. You should not take the subjective opinion of another as the truth. The more confident words and assertions sound, the more confidence they inspire on a psychological level, directly into the subconscious, and you begin to feel that these are your own thoughts. The bitcoin market is rife with numerous types of manipulation; therefore, every information must be double-checked. The situation is compounded by the fact that newcomers are frequently directed by their own expectations and desires rather than by objective data. For instance, a break in a trend or a breakdown of a horizontal level is objective evidence, whereas an item that is overbought or oversold is merely an opinion. Solution Incorporating risk management and financial management into your own trading strategy. Use objective knowledge, not the opinion of others, for analysis. If you consume a great deal of information regarding the crypto sector, you need carefully select your sources and listen to opposing viewpoints on the situation. 11 - Ineffective financial management Money management should be the default inclusion in your trading plan. This entails splitting both the deposit and the assigned amount to join the asset, as for different trading techniques. It is not suggested to purchase the entire anticipated quantity of cryptocurrencies in a single transaction, since it will be unable to equalize the entry price in the event of a price decline. Beginners frequently make this error while purchasing something with their entire deposit. In addition, money management covers the distribution of trading and storage locations for assets. We do not encourage trading on a single exchange; use many exchanges. If your bitcoin is sitting idle on an exchange, withdraw it to a cold wallet or hardware wallet. Solution 12 - Money management must be an important component of your trading plan Too slothful to retain records No professional trader would conduct business without keeping transactional statistics and records. It is impossible to comprehend one's own efficiency without this. Some exchanges provide account analytics at a high level, while others do not; however, all statistics are maintained for a specified time frame. After a while, you will forget the prices at which you acquired your own investment portfolio. It will be unusual to sell an item without knowing if you are making a profit or a loss. A trading journal will educate you more than a dozen trading books combined. Record the purchase price, date, exchange, reasons for entry, feelings during the transaction, and similar information. After a period of time, you will be able to study and comprehend the causes of past errors and successful transactions. Solution 13 - Notepad, pen, and a methodical approach. Overestimated dangers Regardless of the size of the deposit, restrict the allocated funds for high-risk strategies to a specific amount or percentage. In the event of a loss, continue trading with the current balance without replenishing it. If a profit is made and the balance increases, transfer a portion of the money to less risky methods or withdraw them to fiat. Elevated risks include x5+ leverage, starting a trade with the full deposit or a substantial portion, entering an asset with a single order without averaging, and trading illiquid assets. Solution 14 - A methodical approach to risk management. Do everything and you will fail There are various methods for constructing working portfolios. Someone trades many specific altcoins, someone trades simply bitcoin, and someone trades circumstances without reference to particular assets; however, success is the most important factor. The enormous number of active cryptocurrencies is one of the primary obstacles for newbies. To handle the situation, it is required to comprehend a variety of project-related aspects, including fundamental analysis, technical analysis, order book status, transaction history, project-related news, price, etc. It is physically impossible to control more than five assets simultaneously without the assistance of a team of analysts. By working with many cryptocurrencies, you run the danger of losing focus and overlooking crucial nuances that will effect the outcome. Solution Initially, do not trade more than three assets; if you can keep track of a larger number, you may gradually increase the quantity. 15 - Inability to withdraw from the market and await suitable conditions. Staying out of the market is one of the most difficult aspects of trading for most novices. There are times when the wisest course of action is to monitor the market. It is not true that the more transactions there are, the greater the profit. You can conduct dozens of transactions per day and incur a loss in a month, or you can conduct two or three transactions per month and earn a profit. It is easier to work during the growth phase, and without theory and experience, it is nearly difficult to earn a profit during the flat and downturn phases. If it were possible to make money during the growing phase, the ideal course of action during the turning point would be to take a vacation or limit the trading portion of the initial deposit in order to get expertise trading with little sums. The remaining 99% of a trader's time is spent on self-development, market analysis, hunting for opportunities, and waiting for advantageous entry points into trades. Solution Utilize the time while you are out of the market to your advantage. Instead of mimicking a monkey's actions, participate in self-education: read foundational literature on trading, discover new trading tactics, and study the assets you're interested in as thoroughly as possible. In this way, at the moment when a beneficial situation occurs on the market, you will be ready for it.

Traders balance between intellect and emotionsHow can traders create a balance between intellect and emotion? In trading, rationality and passion are two sides of the same coin. Rationality helps us make educated and reasonable trading decisions, but unbridled emotions may be harmful. How do traders strike a balance between these two factors? - Understand your emotions and their influence on your trading is the first step. For instance, if you experience panic when you lose, you may terminate the deal early than necessary. If you are excited about winning, you may hang onto a position longer than required. Understanding your emotions and their influence on your trade can enable you to exert greater control over them. - Create a trading strategy based on facts and data, not on your emotions. This will assist you in making more educated trading selections and avoiding emotional mistakes. Create a risk management compliance system that will assist you in minimizing losses and maximizing profits. - Practice yoga and meditation to enhance your emotional control. This can help you become calmer and more concentrated, which will allow you to make better trading judgments. - In conclusion, the equilibrium between intellect and emotion in trading is crucial for success. By understanding your emotions, adopting a sensible trading plan, and practicing strategies for emotion regulation, you may reach incredible harmony and balance, as well as make better educated trading judgments. Throughout the trading process, you must practice and continually evaluate your psychological condition.

The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide To Trend TradingMany traders utilize forex trend trading specifically to increase their profits from currency exchange. The possibility to take a big number of pip moves due to a strong, directional price movement, a high probability of profit, and exceptional signal accuracy are only a few of the benefits of trend trading. These are the factors that make trend trading possible for traders. In order to maximize price movement and minimize mistakes—which, no matter how hard one tries, will still happen occasionally—have let's a look at the fundamental algorithm of trend trading. What is a Trend? A trend involves a tendency for price to rise or fall over some time. There are two types of trends - bullish and bearish. In a bullish trend, the price makes high bases and higher tops. Thus, the trend line during a bullish trend acts as support. Bearish trends are the opposite of bullish trends. In this case, creates lower highs and lower lows on the chart. In this case, the bearish trend line can be drawn through the highs. There are various trend indicators, but one of the easiest and most effective ways to analyze trends is to use trend lines. A trend line is a diagonal line on a chart that connects several peaks or bases on the chart. The main function of a trend line is to act as support or resistance for price movement. We see a bearish trend line that acts as a resistance line when the price is moving down. The arrows point to places where the price is testing the trend line as resistance. On the seventh price interaction with the bear trend, we get a bullish breakout. Price closes above the bearish trend line, implying that the trend is broken out and price direction is likely to change. In a trending market, two types of systematic price movements are important for understanding the trend. These two types of price movements are called momentum and corrections. A trend momentum is a price movement that occurs after interacting with a trend line and after the price bounces in the direction of the trend. Trend momentum leads to large price movements over a relatively shorter period. Corrective price movements follow the momentum and return the price to the trend. A correction on the chart is not as attractive to trade. Traders without sufficient trading experience should stay out of the market when the price is in a correction phase. The reason for this is that corrections are relatively smaller and often last longer than momentum. As you can see, price registers higher highs and higher lows, indicating that there is a bullish trend on the chart. Note that trend momentum leads to relatively large price movements in the direction of the trend. The third correction on the chart has about the same duration as the last momentum and later leads to a trend breakout. How Do You Find Trends? We already know that an uptrend consists of ascending highs and lows. And a downtrend consists of descending highs and lows. But what if you see a chart that looks like this? Is it the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend? Or is the price in a trading range? There is a problem in determining trends if you use higher highs and lows - this approach will always be subjective. So use a 200-period Moving Average (MA) to determine exactly what the trend is in the market right now. Depending on the time frame, the market can move in different trends. Downtrend on a Daily chart. UPtrend on a Daily chart. It would be a mistake to try to trade trends in different time frames. Instead, focus only on the main time frame and trade only in it. However, your trend trading can improve if you analyze charts of different time frames. What types of trends are there? Most traders believe that a trend consists of higher highs and lows. But that's not enough, because trends come in all kinds of forms. Some are better to trade with breakout strategies and some are better to enter only on pullbacks. There are three types of trending markets, which we will get to know. Strong Trends Buyers control the price and it is moving steadily upwards, there is only a little pressure from the sellers. This type of trend will have small pullbacks - around the 20MA level. In some cases, this type of trend will be so strong that it will move up without any pullbacks. It will not be easy to enter this type of trend because corrections will be too weak or there will not be any. So, the best thing would be to try to catch this type of trend at the beginning of its movement and enter it on its breakdown. If the trend has already gained strength, it is possible to switch to a smaller time frame and look for entry points on the pullback there. Regular Trends Buyers are still in control of the price, but sellers are more active. This is due to someone locking in their profits or entering against the trend. This type of trend will have pullbacks to the 50 MA level. Regular trends can also be entered on a level breakout, but you must be prepared psychologically to withstand a possible strong pullback to the broken level. You can always enter this type of trend later on its pullback to 50 MA. Weak Trends Buyers and sellers are fighting for control, with the buyers slowly starting to gain the upper hand. Price will move in large pullbacks beyond the 50 MA. Soon the previous trend may change direction. Therefore, the best strategy is to enter the market at support and resistance levels. Where Should I Place a Stop Loss in Trend Trading? There are three logical places to place Stop Loss in trend trading: behind the Moving Averages, behind the previous pullback, and the dynamic trend lines. Moving Averages In a market with a strong trend, the price tends not to go over 20 MA. Thus, you should put your Stop Loss below 20MA. If the trend is calmer and does not go behind the 50 MA, place your Stop behind the 50 MA line. Previous pullback You can always place a Stop Loss below the boundary of the previous pullback of the trend. Trend lines To avoid false triggering of your Stops, you can use the technique of placing a Stop Loss at a distance of one or two ATRs from the Moving Averages, the previous pullback, or the trend lines. Then your potential losses can increase, but your Stops will be well protected from accidental price spikes. Peculiarities of Trend Trading Before you start trend trading, you must first recognize a potential trend. Experienced traders will tell you that "The trend is your friend!" because the profits from a trending instrument are much higher and such trades can involve less risk. Let's discuss a few trading techniques for potential trends on the chart. As we already know, if the highs and lows of price are rising, we are in a bullish trend. If the highs and lows are decreasing, we are in a bearish trend. In all other cases, we have no trend conditions. Every two points on the chart can be connected by a straight line. However, if the third point is on the same line, then we have a trend. Thus, trend confirmation usually comes after price tests the trend at the third touch and bounces off of it. When you see the bounce, you can enter the market trying to catch the new trend. Different Approaches to Trend Trading Trend trading can be divided into two approaches: Systematic trading; Discretionary trading. Systematic trading Systematic trading clearly defines all the rules you must follow in your trading: entry point, profit taking place, risk management, and trade management. Most of these actions can be automated by building automated models that are based on technical analysis with limited intervention by the trader. This approach is widely used by large hedge funds. The trader can only determine the level of risk and markets to be traded. Discretionary Trading Discretionary trading has less clear-cut rules that a trader must follow. This approach requires constant participation in trades and is widely used by individual traders. Although discretionary trading is more subjective, it is still based on a trading plan. Trend Trading Strategy A trading strategy for trend trading is only 1/3 of the component of your success. Without proper risk management and discipline, even the best trading strategy will not help you trade profitably. To develop a trend trading strategy for yourself, you will have to answer the following questions: What time frame will I use? What will be my risk level for each trade? What markets will I trade? Where will be my entry point? Where will I exit if the price goes against my position? Where will I take my profits if the price goes my way? In practice, it would look something like this: If the price is above the 200 Moving Average, the trend is uptrending. In an uptrend, we expect two price touches in the area between the Moving Averages with periods of 20 and 50. We open a long trade on the third test. Stop Loss will be placed at a distance of 2 ATR from our entry point. If the price goes in your favor, the trade will be closed when the price closes outside the 50 MA. Alternative scenario: If the 50 EMA is above the 100 EMA, look for an opportunity to open a long position. We wait until the price closes above the 50-day high. If the price closes above the 50-day high, we open a trade on the next candle. Stop Loss is placed at a distance of 3 ATR from the last price maximum. Never move Stop Loss against your position. Trade as many markets with low correlation as possible. Risk no more than 1% of your capital on any single trade. Trading Pullbacks: How to Enter the Market with the Trend? A pullback is a short-term price movement against a trend. What are the advantages and disadvantages of trading on a pullback? A pullback gives us a good entry point with a good risk/reward ratio. However, we can miss a strong trend because sometimes trends move for a long time without a pullback. We also trade against the current price momentum. Since most trading instruments stay within range boundaries or consolidation phases most of the time and market trends are only seen about 20-30 percent of the time, finding a settled trend and a good pullback can be a challenge. As a trader who trades on pullbacks, you have to act like a sniper. You have to wait, then wait some more, sometimes for hours, if not days, before you enter the market. You need to find the entry point at which the price is likely to resume its movement in the prevailing trend. Here are the three basic steps you need to take to successfully trade pullbacks with the trend: Identify an existing trend. Identify potential reversal areas or market conditions where the price may resume its trending movement. Find a high-quality trading signal to enter the market that involves a high risk/reward ratio. Pullbacks and Trend Trading We have already mentioned the wise axiom "the trend is your friend." However, professional traders also know that the trend is your friend "until it ends." Most of the time, financial markets remain in equilibrium, where major market participants have access to all the major news events and information. As a result, the price fluctuates slightly during the day, but in the absence of any new information, it usually does not make a particularly strong directional move. However, after the release of important news, if the actual data diverges from the market consensus, we may see sharp price movements because this is where the market tries to interpret the new information to find a new equilibrium. Bulls and bears sometimes have unique interpretations of news data, and they are invested in their interpretations. When most market participants or even a few large institutional players think the price should rise or fall, this kind of supply and demand imbalance can cause prices to spike or fall. You can see how pullbacks approach the previous consolidation zone and serve as price reversal points on the chart. Pullbacks often test previous support and resistance levels. Since traders know that these levels previously acted as anchor points, a large number of pending orders are accumulated around these price levels. As a result, when the pullback reaches these price levels, and if there have been enough orders in the direction of the trend, the market resumes its movement. Otherwise, the support or resistance levels are violated and a trend reversal may occur in the market. While it may be relatively easy to identify a trend, measuring the likelihood of a trend continuing after a pullback, is a bit more difficult. Nevertheless, it is quite possible if you apply the right technical analysis tools and have a comprehensive strategy for trading on pullbacks. For most new traders, it is best to trade on pullbacks rather than looking for countertrend opportunities. What is a Pullback? It is impossible to predict 100% when a pullback will end. But it has to be based on something. It can't just hang in the air. It may be: -A previous resistance level becomes support. -Resistance becomes support. -Support that became resistance. -Support becomes resistance. -Dynamic trend lines. -The pullback to the dynamic trend lines. -Confirmation for entry into the trade we get when the candle closes in the direction of the current trend. This increases the positive probability of our trade. However, sometimes this can cause you to miss a good trend movement. So there is no definite answer here: to wait for a confirming candle or not. If the price is above the 200 EMA then the trend is bullish. Wait for the price to return to its support area. Then expect a bullish candle in the direction of the trend. Place a Stop Loss below the low of a reversal candle. Take Profit at the nearest level. The best entry points will be called structural - these are places where several conditions for entering the trade will coincide. The price has approached the resistance level, which previously acted as support. The price touches dynamic trend lines. A bearish pin bar appears. The price touches a strong support level. The 200 EMA also passes at this point. An absorption pattern appears. The more structural factors combine in one place on the chart, the greater the probability of a profitable trade. However, the number of such sets with all structural factors will be quite small. Therefore, it will be best to find a balance and enter the market with 2 to 4 structural factors. Trend Trading Strategy on Pullbacks The first step is to recognize the trend. If the price is making higher highs and higher lows, we are seeing an uptrend. On the other hand, if the price makes lower highs and lower lows, we are seeing a downtrend. You can also use the two Moving Averages and confirm the trend when there is a crossover between them, and use them to confirm a pullback. The instrument is in an uptrend. By adding two Moving Averages, the 13-period EMA and the 21-period EMA, we can get additional confirmation. When the fast EMA crossed the slow EMA, we could see a pullback. Remember, however, that the Moving Average crossover acts as a lagging indicator. By the time it generates a signal, the market may have moved slightly in the direction of the prevailing trend. As a result, the risk/reward ratio in your trade may also increase. Consequently, it would be much better if you tried to identify a potential reversal area during a pullback and place your trades using more efficient methods to enter the market based on price action signals. One of the main principles of technical analysis is that old resistance turns into new support and old support turns into new resistance. Using this principle, you can quickly determine where the market may reverse during a pullback. Old support and resistance levels provide a great place to place your limit orders on the side of the prevailing trend. You can also use another time-tested entry method. In this case, we are referring to the use of major Fibonacci retracement levels. After the first uptrend, the price pulled back to the 23.6% Fibonacci level and then resumed the uptrend. After the second uptrend was completed, the price pulled back to the Fibonacci 38.2% Fibonacci recovery level, after which the trend resumed. Major Fibonacci levels act as hidden support and resistance zones in the market. Once you have learned how to successfully identify the trend, the pullback, and the potential area where the pullback may end, you can look for an entry point into the market. A simple pin bar or outside a bar near previous support or resistance, or near a Moving Average, can be an excellent confirmation that a pullback is ending and the trend is about to resume. When the Moving Average and the downtrend line intersect, it confirms that the market is in a downtrend. Once the downtrend was confirmed, you could tell that the 1.5750 level was acting as significant resistance as the price bounced back from that level several times. However, instead of blindly entering the market near the reversal, we waited for a bearish pin bar, which confirmed the end of the pullback. Trend Trading Strategy with MACD, Trend Line, and Volume Indicator The MACD indicator consists of two Moving Averages, which interact with each other above and below the 0 levels. When the faster line overcomes the slower line in a bearish direction, being above 0, we expect the price to start trending in a bearish direction. When the faster line overcomes the slower line in the bullish direction, being below 0, we expect the price to start trending up in the bullish direction. The MACD also has a histogram. This histogram shows the exact difference between the fast line and the slow line. If the histogram is positive, the faster line is above the slower line, the long signal. If the histogram is negative, the faster line is below the slower line, the short signal. Divergence is also good for determining the divergence between the price and the indicator. If the price increases and the MACD decreases, we have a bearish divergence, which indicates that the trend is likely to reverse. The same is true in the opposite direction for a bullish divergence pattern. If the price is declining and the MACD is increasing, we have a bullish divergence. One way to trade trends is to combine the trend lines, MACD, and volume indicator. We can try to match signals from the MACD indicator and a potential emerging trend line and perform a volume analysis. Imagine that you see an upward price movement on the chart. At the same time, the MACD is signaling a bullish crossover below 0, which confirms that the price is rising. In this case, we can expect a continuation until we see the opposite signal from the MACD. A Stop Loss should be placed below the recent swing low. The same technique works for bearish trends. If the price starts to consider lower tops and lower bases, we use a bearish MACD cross above 0 to open a short position. The chart begins with a bullish MACD crossover. Note that during the crossover and continuation thereafter, the price is in a range. However, during the horizontal movement, trading volumes are constantly increasing. Suddenly the price creates a higher top, breaking the level of the previous top. This indicates a possible rise in price, and after a short correction, there is an opportunity to open a long position. The price continues to rise with two momentum movements and their corresponding corrections. The MACD indicator is now in its upper area, indicating that we may see the end of this bullish trend shortly. Nevertheless, the position should be held until the MACD lines show a bearish crossover as indicated in the trading strategy. Tips for Trend Trading In order not to be deceived, do not use time frames lower than H1. Most often in M1, M15, etc. we just see market noise, imitating a storm of market activity, and changing many times a day. Always check the trend you have detected in a higher time frame (for example, if you see a bullish trend on H1 - switch to D1 and check your conclusions). If the trends coincide - good, this is a signal for entry, if they diverge - do not enter the market. Professionals use trends that are evident at least on the semi-annual chart, even better - the annual chart (it is visible on W1). The rule is simple: a true, time-tested trend does not change quickly and focusing on false trends and breakouts - is counterproductive and unprofitable. Having chosen a trend - be faithful to it, to a reasonable limit. Do not react to the usual market volatility, "chattering", constantly provoking you to the wrong actions. Allow profits to grow. For example, all of 2017 EUR/USD was in a bullish trend, and traders who were able to use this (simple, in general) understanding - made good profits. If you still went against the trend - you need to know how to "flip". If the price goes more than 200 pips against your open positions - can't be helped, there is no arguing with the market, open in the right direction, take a loss (liquidate a losing position) and earn more than you lost. Summary When trend trading, be sure to include economic news in your arsenal. Using only technical analysis will not give a complete picture of what is happening on the market. Use trend trading and you will see that forex really brings profit. And of course to be successful with trend trading you need practice and remember that profitability depends very much on the broker you choose!

Types of Markets in TradingView Land !!!👨‍🏫Hello👋 dear traders. I am Pejman👦, and today I want to explain the types of markets📈 with another story from TradingView🎢. Maybe you love the world of animation👶 like me, and I'm trying to make the trading world as beautiful and colorful as the animation👶 world🌍. So let's dive into another Tradingview🎢 land story. Once upon a time⏳, in Hundred Acre Wood, Christopher Robin decides to go to Stocktopia to live with other traders and try to learn trading skills📉. Since Winnie the Pooh🧸 likes Christopher Robin very much, he and his friends decided to go with him and move to the city🌆 of Stocktopia. They all knew that the path might be long and complicated😢, so they decided to compare different Types of Markets 📈 and talk about markets📈 along the way🛣. Do you know the Wise Owl 🦉? He always has many experiences of everything and explains them loudly. On the other hand, he had a lot of experience in technical analysis and said: When I was a beginner, I was baffled😟 and even lost a lot of money🤑 because I didn't have a good perception of the market📈. When my buy orders were filled, the stock would face a crash💥. And when I was selling, green candles📊 jumped one after the other. Annoying!😡 I only found out why when I went to Stocktopia and realized that the market📈 has its own types. Trends are essential in the market📈, and you need to learn to recognize trends. For training, first, I had to know what technical analysis📊 and its benefits are. There was a moment something caught my eyes👁 when I was surfing🏄‍♂️ on a website called “Tradingview,” and I opened the post to see what technical analysis is.👇 During my trading, I learned three types of markets 📈. Bullish 🟢, Bearish 🔴 & Range market📈. Tiger🐯: Whoo Whoo Whoooooo! I liked the name of the Bullish trend🟢. Can we start from that first? What is a Bullish trend🟢? The Wise Owl🦉 showed Tiger🐯 a chart from the book that was with him and said: Dear Tiger🐯, to find a Bullish🟢 market📈, you must first draw a trendline like a dynamic support trend line. Do you remember dynamic support and resistance lines? If you don't know these lines, it is better to read the story of Princess👸 Snow❄️White Chart and Trader Dwarfs before hearing the story of the market📈 types.👇 By the way, the Bullish🟢 market📈 is very similar to Tiger🐯. In the Bullish 🟢trend, buyers are happy and positive emotions are seen in the market📈 atmosphere. There are more buyers than sellers. That is, buyers hope for the growth of a stock. In the Bullish trend🟢, you must be fast, so that you don’t lose opportunities. As you can see in the chart, the price inflates more like a balloon🎈. It goes Higher High (HH)every time and forms a Higher Low(HL)🗻 than the previous one. But no Bullish trend🟢 is permanent. The market📈 will experience a crash eventually. So you have to be smart because shopping will only sometimes be profitable. You will get bloody candles if you wait to buy them in time. The Wise Owl 🦉 continued: The Bullish market📈 has conditions that I will explain based on my experience: Each Low should be at least one step higher than the previous one and make a Higher Low(HL) like the Tiger🐯. Usually, each High🗻 is formed one step Higher High(HH) than the previous one. Preferably, when the price rises above a High🗻, it is better not to return below it. This type of trend is called a Bullish market 📈 because when the bulls🟢 want to attack, they raise their horns from the bottom to the top. And the buyers increase the stock higher and higher by buying. Christopher Robin asked: What if Higher High(HH) doesn’t touch the previous High🗻? The Wise Owl🦉 said: This is a sign of a strong Bullish trend🟢. If you see such an event, prepare your dollars for shopping. Does anyone have any other questions? Eeyore said: What is the trend of Bearish🔴? Why is it named like this? Wise Owl🦉: How interesting that Eeyore himself asked this question because the Bearish trend🔴 is exactly like Eeyore. Ivor John has some negative feelings about him. Shareholders also feel disappointment😩 and fear😱 in the trend. Because of this, the number of buyers decreases, and the number of sellers increases. Candles turn red like roses🌹; the more sellers there are, the bigger this red flower garden🏡 will be. Highs and Lows🗻 form one after the other lower⬇️ and lower⬇️. In a downward trend🔻, if you are in a one-sided market📈, you should sell your shares, but if the market📈 is two-sided, you can present yourself for a sell/short position. In this trend, negative emotions may dominate the market📈, but sellers will be happy. Like the upward trend, the downward trend also has its conditions. Can you guess them before I say them? Po said: Ah, in the growth trend, each High🗻 should be formed lower⬇️ than the previous High(LH)🗻, and each Low should be formed below the previous one(LL). On the other hand, if the price falls below a Low in the downward trend, it is better not to return above that Low. The Wise Owl🦉: It was great, Pooh🧸. Now let's take a look at this Bearish trend🔴 chart. As you can see, there is no news of going up(HH)🔺 in downward trends🔻. Instead, we see Lower Lows(LL) and Lower Highs(LH). But the market📈 is only sometimes bullish🟢 or consistently bearish🔴. Does anyone remember the name of the third type of market📈 that I mentioned? Piglet answered with a bit of stress: Ummm, I think it was Range Market 📈. Wise Owl🦉: Hohohoho, you are right, Piglet. But don't be afraid and don't stress because this market📈 has no particular trend. If you looked at the chart and could not find an upward🔺 or downward trend🔻, the sea market📈 is tame, and no waves move the candles up🔺 or down🔻. The number of buyers and sellers in the Range market📈 is almost equal. In the market📈, Range traders are like piglets. A group of them have hope for stocks and buy with confidence, and another group is still afraid, like piglets, and thinks that the value of their shares may decrease. So they sell it. Neither bears🔴 or bulls🟢 win in the Range market📈 because they need more trading volume to pull the market📈 in the same direction and form a strong up🔺 or down🔻 movement. In the market📈, the price range is involved in two Ranges: buy or demand Range and sell or supply Range. The support zone pushes the price upwards🔺 in the buying Range, but the resistance one does not allow the price to advance. Therefore, the price is passed between these Ranges like a yo-yo until one of the parties enters more volume and breaks this price compression. The head will run away from one side when the price is done. As you can see in the picture, finally, the sellers ran away from the price :) And the bears🔴 won over the bulls🟢. Rabbit: I have heard that most financial markets are Range, and it’s more difficult to trade in this type of market. By the way, I don't want to rush, but I guess it's time to tell us the use of all this information. The Wise Owl🦉 laughed and replied: "Hey, you didn't rush. Now that you are familiar with different types of markets📈, it is time to learn how to trade in these markets📈." You must first draw trendlines in trending markets📈 to get a general view of the chosen stock📈. Then you can take a position in the direction of the trend. Be sure to remember that you’re entering at the right points. Take your time, because waiting is a flower that doesn’t grow in everyone's garden. The owl🦉 opened a new page and showed a downward trend🔻, which later turned into an upward trend🔺. Owl🦉 continued: As you can see from the chart below, the price is caught under the bears' claws, and the market📈 is bearish🔴. It has formed Lower Lows(LL) and Lower Highs(LH). But after the Bullish engulfing candlestick pattern, the trend changed and turned into a Bullish🟢 market📈. If you want to learn about candlesticks and how to trade with them, you can go to the following post because I have collected how to trade with all candlestick patterns in this post.👇 As you know, the more the price collides with a trendline📈, the more valid the trendline will be. So these lines📈 will become valuable, like support or resistance lines📉. In this example, we learned how effective candlesticks could be in identifying or finding the end of trends. Now it's the turn of the Range market📈, and it is possible to trade in this market📈 considering the volatility of the trend. In the Range market📈, as I said, the price is like a small fish🐠 stuck in a fast Eeyore. The flow of water💧 and the flow of buyers and sellers move this fish🐠 into the Eeyore bed🛌. As a trader, if you want to catch fish🐠 from this water, you must wait until it approaches one of the Eeyore beds🛌. Up🔺 or down🔻 bed, i.e., support line or resistance line. You can buy when you see the price on the support line, and when you see it on the resistance line, it is time to sell. Rabbit said: Haha. That is very easy. Buy low and sell high. The wise owl laughed😂 and said: You are exactly right. Trading in this market📈 may seem simple, but this fish🐠 can escape anytime. Trading in Range Market📈 is like eating a sandwich🥪. If you press your sandwich🥪 too much, the fillings of the sandwich🥪 maybe spilled out from the top or bottom. Everyone heard the sound of Po's stomach and laughed😂. Po said: We have been walking for a long time, and I also ate my honey🍯 on the way. How much is left? Christopher Robin looked around with his camera📸 and said we're finally there. I can see the lights💡 of Trading Wave🌊 Land🎡. The Wise Owl🦉 continued: Now, knowing the types of markets📈, you can learn more than technical analysis in this land. All of them went to the land of Trading Wave🌊, happy😊 that they got good information along the way🛣 by heaRange about the experiences of the wise owl. If you want to learn how to trade well like the people of this land🎡, practice today's tips and join me every week because I have many stories to tell about this market📈. This land🎡 is full of traders who lost their capital💸 and became disappointed😔 without carefulness and practice. If you don't want to be one of them, remember to manage your capital💸 and training. I hope you are always healthy and prosperous😎.

Is Intel ($INTC) falling behind?In today’s educational article we will take a look at the basic metrics in Intel’s 10K annual report released a couple of days ago and define some basic stock fundamentals that an investor should take into account when analyzing a security. Financial analysis is the process of examining a company’s performance in the context of its industry and economic environment (macroeconomic) in order to arrive at a decision or recommendation. If you want to invest in one company there are 2 main ways to do it: • Invest in the debt of the company (buying corporate bonds) • Invest in the equity of the company (buying shares) Investors in debt are concerned with the company’s ability to pay interest and the principal. Investors in equity are concerned about the profitability of the company which translates into the ability to pay dividends or the likelihood of the share price going up. When we study Intel’s 10K we see some financial metrics that tell us about the business performance in the previous year: - Revenue : Intel declared that their revenue was down 20% from 2021. The total figure was 63.1B vs 79B in 2021. The revenue ( sales) refers to amounts charged for the delivery of goods or services in the ordinary activities of a business. - Gross Margin : was down 12.8% from the 2021 figure. In 2022 the gross margin for Intel was 42.6%. The gross margin is net sales less cost of goods sold (COGS). In other words, it's the amount of money a company retains after incurring the direct costs associated with producing the goods it sells and the services it provides. - Diluted EPS : Intel reported a diluted EPS that was down $2.92 or 60% lower than 2021. In 2021 they made $4.86 per share vs $1.94 in the previous year. Diluted EPS is a measurement used to gauge the quality of a company's earnings per share (EPS) if all convertible securities were exercised. EPS : Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. - Operating cashflow : Operating cashflow was down $14B or 48% compared to 2022. The operating cashflow is defined as the net amount of cash provided from operating activities. The company’s management said that 2022’s results were impacted by an uncertain macroeconomic environment arising from inflation, the war in Ukraine, and COVID-19 shutdowns in their supply chain in China.

Charts Museum!!!👨‍🏫Hello, my dear traders🙋🏻. Welcome🌸 to the Charts section📈. My name is Pejman, and this is the Museum🖼️ of Technical Analysis in Tradingview. I'm your tour leader on this visitation, and we will get to know all the Charts well together📊. I'll provide the necessary information about each Chart and answer your questions✅. 🚫So during this tour, please don't eat🍟or touch the charts🙅🏻😄. But it would help if you tried everything you learned at home.👍🏻😉 And if you have any questions, ask me in the comments👨‍💻. In the previous post, I reviewed the life story of technical analysis💹. I said that the best friend of technical analysis was the Chart📉, which didn't separate from technical analysis all these years🤝🏻. On the other hand, I said that fundamental analysis was closely related👥 to the Chart and fundamental information was also present in the charts. So the Chart plays a significant👌🏻 role in the market. (Definitely, the monitor🖥️ plays an essential role in using the computer🧑🏻‍💻 otherwise, we should all look at our motherboards💽😄.) If you're a beginner and want to join us, read the previous post so that you can take the critical steps in learning technical analysis one by one.📃 Now, let's start this post with an example.😊 Each book can contain different information, but the amount of information obtained from each book is different and depends on you.📖 For example, maybe an adult learns valuable information about life from a children's storybook and likes that. Or perhaps a child, despite his age, will relate to a science book about astronomy and like it.👨‍🔬📕 So the amount of information we get depends entirely on us.💁 Regarding the charts, each Chart, like any book, gives us different information, but what you get from each Chart or which type of Chart you are comfortable with is entirely up to you.🙇‍♂️ So, like a good bookseller, I have to tell you all the information about my books so you can use the book that suits you.😉 But ultimately, the choice is yours. The customer is always right. 😂👌 So let's start this tour right away because learning the charts is one of the essential steps in this path.🏃‍♂️ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information about a price or stock can be displayed using different charts📊, and in the Tradingview platform, it is possible to use the best charts and even customize them🔧⚙️. Charts are traders' working tools, like a painter👩🏻‍🎨 who paints with his tools🖌️🎨. Everyone likes to have the best tools🛠🥇. In the TradingView platform, you can adjust your tools in any way you like👨🏻‍🔧. On the other hand, if you get a Pro+ or Premium account, you can use most of the features for charts.✅️ In the following, we will get to know these features and facilities🙆🏻‍♂️. Before starting the explanation, I used SWOT to easily understand the content in each chart, and I tried to share the information simply and based on the existing facts.💁‍♂️ SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. SWOT analysis facilitates a realistic, fact-based, and data-driven examination of information strengths and weaknesses.📈📉 We will check these characteristics in all the charts. So let's dive into the types of charts, learn about their advantages & disadvantages, and even compare them with each other. 👇 Let's go through the chart types in order of Tradingview's formation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bars Chart :📊 The Bar Chart is very similar to Candle charts in terms of the information it provides. This chart shows us information using horizontal and vertical lines. Bar Charts give us four types of information about an asset. This information is called OHLC , in which O means the Opening price, H is the Highest price, L signifies the Lowest price and C represents the Closing price of a bar in a time frame.💵 Each vertical line represents price changes over a time frame. The horizontal lines on the left indicate the bar's opening price, and the horizontal line attached to the bar on the right side shows the closing price of that bar.➡️ Also, other information is obtained by continuing the vertical lines from above and below. When a bar has an extra line at its bottom, that means the end of this line represents the bar's lowest price. The upper line also represents the highest price in that time frame. Finally, I want to say that bars charts and candles chart may seem a bit complicated, but they can reduce our trading mistakes with the information they provide.🙅‍♂️ For sure, choosing which type of chart you can trade better with is entirely up to you. In the Tradingview platform, you can change the colors of the bars and customize your chart. 🔁 I have to say that this option is not available on some platforms, and if you can’t see the colors & the chart is only seen in black, using this chart will be a bit confusing.😟 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Candles Chart :🕯 You might have seen the Candles chart or heard their name. This type of chart has become the most popular among traders. What do you consider is the cause of the popularity of this type of chart? Now that it's time for the most popular chart among traders let me talk more about the advantages and disadvantages of this chart. However, certain things about this chart have made it the most popular chart. Candles are like the scoreboard of a stadium, which shows the result of the match between buyers and sellers in a time frame. Candles have a body & a wick like a real candle, and these wicks show the same highest and lowest price in a time frame. The body of the candle also indicates price changes. If the color of a candle is red, the price has decreased from the time of opening to closing. And on the contrary, if the candle is green, the price closed higher than when it was opened. In my opinion, this type of price display has a better visual effect. It can be an essential reference for making trading decisions, guessing the next candlestick, continuing a trend, or finding the reversal trend. Candlesticks can form patterns alone or in pairs that help us predict the subsequent movements of the chart. Candlestick patterns are either a continuation of a trend or reversal patterns, which generally have more number and variety and are even more helpful. If you need to become more familiar with reversal candlestick patterns, check out the post below. Also, most indicators work best with candle charts. If indicators are relevant to a particular trading system, often candlestick charts are required. Candlestick charts display who controls a market or market sentiment over a given time frame. Through various candlestick patterns and formations, such as the Doji Patterns, etc. A trader can assess the overall bias over a specific time horizon. Overall, Japanese candlesticks are clear, simple, and easy to describe. But definitely, there are some disadvantages. One of these disadvantages is Apophenia(A tendency to relate unrelated things to each other). It is a mental bias to see patterns in things that are accidental. Our brains want to see patterns, and so they do. We are also looking for meaning, so we find meaning in meaningless things. By combining technical analysis, we see patterns in random data and attach importance where there is none to said data. Candlestick charts are great for this trap. When I was a beginner and couldn't control my emotions, I often saw trends the way I wanted to & this was far away from logic. You can escape these emotional traps by practicing and studying to decide with logic and thinking. Don't worry; as I said, you can count on my help because we will travel together on the technical analysis training road. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hollow Candles Chart : This chart looks very similar to the Candles chart, but it may look a little more complicated, and as a beginner, you may need help understanding the meaning of these candles at first glance. The system and function of candlesticks & hollow candles are entirely the same, and the difference between them is their appearance. But still, I will write some points about this chart. This chart shows OHLC the same as Candles and Bar charts, but on some platforms, it may be seen in colors other than the default colors (green and red - black and white). But in general, this chart will show the price fluctuations entirely, and because of the similarity to the candle chart, it is less used. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Column Chart : As you can see, this chart consists of colored rows. For example, the green row indicates a price increase, and the red row shows a decrease. It may give us incomplete information for trading, but if you want to compare statistics with each other or get information quickly and with a simple glance, these charts are suitable. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Line Chart : I want to examine the Line chart, which is the simplest type of Chart.➡️ A line chart consists of points connected by a line, and these points only represent the final price ( closing price ) of a currency or share. This Chart can be suitable for comparing the information with each other at a superficial glance because it doesn't have any extra data. Apply two line charts on top of each other and see correlations between different assets. Line charts are less used for trading; Because a line chart consists of points connected by a line, and these points indicate the closed price in a time frame and give us less information. There are some other charts similar to line charts that are suitable for comparing information, which I will discuss below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Area Chart : This Chart shows the changes in one or more sets of data and can be checked with other variables, but usually, the second variable is time, and the price is measured relative to time. This Chart will be suitable for comparing two or more charts. I put the advantages and disadvantages of this chart in the picture like other charts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baseline Chart : You may have noticed the similarities and differences between this chart and the Line and Area charts. The Baseline chart looks similar to the above charts but with different levels; it provides us with more information than these two charts. By default, there is a hypothetical line, as the average price line in the middle of this chart. When the area is green, the price is above the average level, and if the area is red, the stock or currency is traded below the average price level. You can adjust the baseline level. This level has a comparative aspect, and this type of chart is very suitable for checking the market's fluctuations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High-Low Chart : This chart provides us with more information than the line and area chart. But this chart is not complete and does not show the opening or closing price & it only expresses the price changes from the lowest to the highest amount in a time frame. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heikin Ashi Chart : The Heiken Ashi chart is well-known among traders, like the candles chart, and was first used in Japan. By filtering price fluctuations and averaging between two consecutive candles, this Chart makes it easier to identify trends and helps traders avoid market excitement. Take a look at the below chart to get to know this type of chart better. I have to say that this chart type is helpful in the stock market and commodity market, which is associated with more gaps because they determine the price direction without gaps. So if you feel it can be useful for you, test this chart along with your other strategies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Renko Chart : This type of chart does not pay attention to time, so the time axis is not present in its structure. This chart consists of sections called bricks or blocks, for which the amount of price change is determined, and the minor changes are not taken into account. Each block shows a price move covering a user-defined number from the recent close. If the user selects ten numbers, each block will represent a ten-number movement in either direction. New blocks will only form when the price moves by the set amount of numbers. However, these can be tricky because more price movement can happen than expected. The Renko chart is one of the oldest and most famous Japanese charts. You can use this chart any time frame if you have a Pro + or Premium account on the Tradingview platform. Otherwise, you can only have this chart in the daily time frame. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Line Breaks Chart : These charts are excellent indicators of momentum. Each bar is called a "line," A new line will form if the new closing price is higher than the current close or the new close is lower than the last 3 bars. You can change this number to any number of lines in the past. But the most popular number among traders is "three lines in the past." For this reason, this chart is also known as three broken lines. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kagi Chart : Now it's the turn of a fancy line chart with a formula. The Kagi chart works established on price and discounts the time axis. Think of it as someone's finger showing you, "We reached -this- high & then -this low” 😂. Kagi lines do not reverse unless the price changes the minimum amount. However, what defines what gets plotted is if the price moves by more than a specified percentage from the most recent close. The color of the lines will change based on new highs and lows. If the new high is higher than the previous high, the color changes to green & if the new high is lower than the previous one, it would be red, signaling weakness in price. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Point & Figure Chart : Point and Figure charts were initially developed as a price recording system and later became technical analysis charts. Before computers entered the world of Technical Analysis, this chart was widely used. Still, fewer people use it these days due to the complexity of understanding this chart and the limited information it provides. These charts are like Renko blocks. The X's denote bullish moves, and the O's designate bearish moves by a set number. All the rules involved in Renko blocks apply here; however, these charts look additional. These simple charts focus only on significant price movements and completely filter out noises (minor price movements). The unique aspect of these charts is that, unlike Candles, Line, and Bar charts, the time isn't directly considered in the chart. Sometimes we can obtain good results and price targets from these charts, which are sometimes very special and significant. So if you are curious to learn point & figure charts do more research (remember to practice a lot😊. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Range Chart : The last chart of this museum is another chart related to the price movement. This chart may look like a bar chart, but I have to say that it's not. It contains some of the information that the bar chart had. If you add this chart, you will see that it has a different time frame than other charts. 100 ranges; As the name indicates, it includes 100 of the latest price movements you can see in different time frames. But, it has more than 100 ranges, and you can determine the number of these movements, which varies from 1 to 1000.

Technical Analysis !!!👨‍🏫Hello, my trader friends🙋🏻. I want to tell you the story of Technical Analysis, its advantages & disadvantages. We're even gonna learn about its branches. Like any other science, Technical Analysis has come a long way, and it's still evolving. But why should we learn it and know it well?🤷🏻 When you're trading, you may be afraid or greedy. But how do professional traders control these two?🤔 Let me start with a simple example. If someone turns off the lights & challenges you in a new room, you will feel scared or lack confidence because you don't know that place. But if the challenge happens in your bedroom or home🏡, you'll feel more powerful 💪🏻 and confident because this environment is familiar & you can act better.✅ Fear is caused by the unknown. When you don't know this market, you can't get good results (or at least permanent good results). So follow this page to conquer all the peaks⛰️ of Technical Analysis together🙌🏻 and learn from A to Z of it. Also, I'm a fellow traveler on this route🛤️, not your tour guide. So, if you have any questions, ask me in the comments💬. My trader fellas, let's take one step👣 at a time because taking long and hurried steps will only hit you harder. I'm with you in all these steps🪜 & get started with the first type of market analysis. Technical Analysis is old. I mean, it's almost 300 years old📜, but it doesn't like to talk about its age, so we couldn't find the exact information about its birth date🗓️😑. Maybe it’s from Japan⛩️🎌 and was born in the 18th century, or perhaps its date of birth is in the Middle Ages. But there is some more information that I'm sure about. For example, in 1879, the Technical Analysis found a friend by the name of Chart📈, and they have not separated until today. Let's skip this story and be serious☺️. Technical analyzers believe that everything is in the Chart. In Technical Analysis, there is all the necessary information for trading, such as entry points, exit points, market volume, stock prices in the past and present, etc. (The Chart is a complete encyclopedia for Technical analyzers!!🤦🏻😶 ) There is another type of analysis that examines the available information about a stock (from the founder of a stock or company to the cost and income and even the company manager's records), called Fundamental. But the Technicalists say that even some of the Fundamental information is in the Chart! 😐 Overall, Technical and Fundamental are both complementary to each other and opposite to each other. But both are related to the Chart. (These three have a complicated relationship; I mean, there is a love triangle, so we should stay out of it !!🤫😂 ) Let's skip the joke. All these things are just like the gears⚙️ of a car, but it's not enough. You need to follow more rules in the market to pass the finish line🏁 with your trading car🏎️ . Don't worry cause I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know to win🏆 this trade racing with your strategy car. Now that we have learned a little about the history of Technical Analysis, it is better to learn about its contents. The price chart, our most important resource and tool in Technical Analysis, consist of the price-time, Charts, and Candles. But these candles🕯️ existed 100 years before bar and dot charts.📊📉 In 1700, a Japanese man named Huma realized that the price of rice depended on the emotions of traders in addition to supply and demand. Candles show these feelings with their colors. For example, the green candles🟢 show trust and good feelings among people who invested in a stock.🤑 But red candles🔴 indicate doubts or hopelessness of people about a stock, and they sell it.😞 I don't know why I remembered Moody's octopus doll🐙 :) But candles tell you the feelings of other traders just like these dolls. But only its color is not essential. Can you guess the other important factors about candles? I will tell you the rest of them soon.😉. Have you heard that history repeats itself? By looking carefully🧐 at the old charts, some creative people found that the prices behaved similarly to their past. They realized that the candles make interesting shapes next to each other, and they made these shapes repeatedly in different periods.🔁 They formed different geometric shapes and patterns & continued to make these shapes until today :) Let's accept that the Chart is creative and artistic! 🎨🖌️😊 For example, they found a shape called a Head & Shoulders Pattern. This type of pattern will cause a downward trend⤵️ in the Chart. I tried to find it & place it on someone's Head & Shoulders to remember it better. 😁 Many patterns can be found in any chart, and I have already taught the reversal patterns in my previous posts, But I want to go over all the patterns in detail again in the future, so let's dive into the other contents of Technical Analysis.👇 Using formulas, mathematical🧮 ratios, and advanced calculations, indicators were created that can generally show the market's present and past and give a relative opinion about the future (Please don't get the indicators wrong with magic 8 ball🎱 or Professor Dumbledore's wand✨. ) Let's be serious about it. Maybe you know that indicators depend on the two factors of time and place of price. In terms of time🕦, they are divided into two categories: leading and lagging. In terms of price movement💹, they are divided into three categories: trend indicators, oscillators, and volume indicators. The indicator that I made the above meme for is a leading oscillator. Now it’s time to go for the other various tools that are made by using numbers🔢 and people’s actions in the market. A person named Nelson Elliott made a useful tool, although, after his death, many people worked on this tool and improved it until today it reached us, but we are going to discuss it better in the following posts like the rest of the contents of Technical Analysis.😉 But I have to say Elliot believed that the market is not disordered and always repeats a repetitive cycle, and Eliot called these repeated movements waves. According to him, if you can perfectly identify the repeating patterns in the price, you can predict how the price will change (or not change) in the next phase. Eliot published his experiences and theories in a book called the waves principle, which I recommend if you want to get good information in this field; it's better to start from the origin of this theory. I think there is no better definition for the word "Wave" than sea waves🌊, and I tried to draw Elliot waves like sea waves reaching the shore. 🏖️ In the end, I want to say that whatever style of analysis you have or whatever type of Chart you use, in the future, this machine will not go the right way without following a series of principles. Suppose you have the best car in the world, but you neither know how to drive nor the rules. It can be guessed that you will either crash with someone or break the car💥. You should have risk management along with your trading system, and don't forget that no trading system is perfect.🙅🏻 It is better to try each method on demo accounts before making real trades. Of course, you can count on me and ask any questions you may have.🙂💭 In the following posts, I’ll talk more about the things that have been said and introduce you to good trading systems that can be obtained from any method. I'm by your side so that if you are a beginner, you can find your own way, and if you know the market, we can learn the basics of this market better & together🤝🏻. Wish you happiness, health & success guys🙋🏻.

Donchian Channel Indicator: The Complete A Trader's GuideChannel forex trading strategies are very popular among traders. This fact is because the channel within which the quotes move is regularly formed on any instrument, any time frame, and can be used in a variety of ways (breakout strategy, rebound strategy, etc.) as a ready-made trading tactic. There are Linear Progression Channels, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci Channels, Envelopes, Ichimoku Channels, and Donchian Channel, which is created based on the Donchian Channel Indicator. It will become the main character of our today`s article. Let us consider in more detail the principle of its use and the rules for placing orders. The Donchian Channel Indicator: Description And Main Signals Richard Donchian is one of the legendary traders of the last century. He was the originator of the Turtles trading system. As it often happens, the peak of his popularity and success came to him late, at a respectable age. Donchian was a true workaholic, giving much energy to trading and creating effective trading theories. His works were used by a lot of traders, some of which were included in the top ten of the best market professionals, for example, Linda Raschke. Initially, the Donchian Channel was developed for trading by breakout strategies when the price goes out of the channel and crosses one of its borders. As a rule, a new powerful trend starts at such moments. What Does The Donchian Price Channel Look Like? The algorithm looks like two curves, one of which corresponds to the upper limit of the corridor and the other - to the lower one. The upper curve shows the price maximums for the selected time period. The lower boundary shows the levels of price lows, also for a certain period of time. When price minimums/maximums are updated, the lines are rearranged and the channel width decreases or increases depending on the market situation. Another broken dotted line runs in the center of the channel. The price position relative to this line shows the market trend: When the price breaks out of the middle line of the channel from the bottom up and rises higher, it indicates the bulls' advantage in the market. Price is trending upwards. When the price crosses the middle line of the channel from top to bottom and goes lower, it indicates a bearish advantage in the market. The price goes downward. The Donchian Channel is also called a volatility indicator because it uses chart extrema in its calculations. The tool looks a bit like Bollinger Waves, but its lines are smoother and do not react as strongly to price changes as Bollinger Bands lines. Channel Boundaries Signals According to the indicator, trades can be opened at the moments of a breakout as well as a rebound from the channel borders. Signals arising when price breaks out a channel edge are called trend signals: If the price breaks out the upper level of the Donchian Channel from the bottom up and the breakout candle closes above it, this is a buy signal. An uptrend begins; If the price crosses the lower level of the Donchian Channel from above downwards and the breakout candlestick is closed under it, this is a sell signal. The downtrend begins. The breakout can be not only a true breakout when the boundary is crossed by the candle's body and the candle closes outside the range but also a shadow one. It can be called a shadow breakout, which was made by the candlestick's shadow, but the candlestick itself closed inside the Donchian Channel. The shadow breakout occurs before the price reverses after the rebound from the channel's boundary: If the shadow of the candlestick breaks out the lower boundary, and then the price returns to the channel and closes inside it, this is a signal of an upward reversal. You can place a buy order; If the shadow of the candlestick crosses the upper boundary, and then the price goes back inside the channel and closes there, this is a signal of a downward reversal. You may enter into a sell trade. A shadow breakout usually indicates a price reversal from the broken-out boundary. Price may not only break out the channel boundary but also rebound from it. In this case, the price moves inside the channel, and then, having touched one of its boundaries reverses in the other direction. Signals when the price rebounds from the Donchian Channel boundaries: If the price rebounds from the upper boundary of the channel, this is a sell signal; If the price rebounds from the lower boundary of the channel, this is a signal to buy. Changing the channel width also indicates a change in the market situation. For example, if the Donchian Channel becomes narrow, it indicates a flat. The market is calm at the moment, the volatility is low. When the price extremums are updated, the channel starts expanding, indicating the increase in market volatility: If the channel expands as a result of updating price lows, you can open a sell trade; If the channel expands as a result of updating price highs, you can open a buy trade. Even though the Donchian Channel is quite an effective tool, it is not recommended to open positions only by its signals. It is necessary to use additional tools for signal confirmation. Calculation Of The Donchian Channel Indicator To plot the Donchian Channel, we should use the absolute minimum and maximum of the quote for the definite period. The upper boundary of the channel is drawn through the specified maximum, and the lower – through the minimum for the same period. In the time period, only the number of candlesticks is always considered. For example, period 10 for the D1 chart is equal to 10 days, for the H1 chart – to 10 hours, and for the M5 – to 50 minutes. In other words, a breakout of a 10-day channel on the D1 chart means that the 10-day maximum is broken out when the upper boundary of the channel is broken out, or the 10-day minimum when the lower boundary of the channel is broken out. In other words, the upper boundary is equal to the maximum value of the quote for the selected period, the lower boundary – to the minimum value, and the average boundary is equal to the sum of the upper and lower bounds divided by 2. Donchian himself used the value of the channel period 20 for daily charts because it equals the average number of working days in a month. But we can experiment with the period value, considering that we can trade in any time frame. The most popular and well-proven variants are 18, 24, and 55. Donchian Channel + RSI Trading Strategy Let's consider an example of a simple trading strategy based on the Donchian Channel and RSI oscillator signals. Chart time frame – H1. Currency pair – any currency pair with average or high volatility. Positions may be opened on the rebound of the price from the boundaries of the Donchian Channel. The RSI indicator will confirm the rebound signal, coming out of the oversold or overbought area. A long position may be entered under the following conditions: The price reaches the lower boundary of the Donchian Channel, fails to break it out, and turns in the opposite direction. Either there was a shadow breakout and the price returned to the channel limits. RSI exits the oversold area, breaking out the 30 level from the bottom to the top. Take Profit should be set on the upper curve of the Donchian range. Stop Loss can be placed outside the lower boundary of the Donchian Channel. A sell order may be made under opposite conditions: The price reached the upper boundary of the Donchian Channel. It fails to cross the upper boundary of the Donchian Channel, it rebounds and turns in the opposite direction. The second option - a shadow breakout occurs and the chart returns to the channel. The oscillator has left the overbought area, breaking out the line of 70 downwards. Fixing Take Profit should be set at the lower border of the Donchian Channel. A protective Stop-Loss can be placed outside the upper boundary of the Donchian Channel. Donchian Channel + MACD Trading Strategy This strategy involves opening a trade at the Donchian Channel boundaries breakout moments. Trading will be done based on the trend. To confirm the signals of border breakout a trend oscillator MACD is used. The time frame of the chart is M15. The asset to be traded should have medium or high volatility. It is possible to open a long position, provided that: The Donchian Channel begins to widen in the direction of the uptrend. The maximums of the chart begin to increase sequentially; The candlestick breaks out the upper boundary of the Donchian Channel and closed above it; The MACD indicator is above zero, and the histogram is increasing. If all three conditions coincide, it is possible to open a buy order. Stop Loss is placed behind the local minimum. Profit can be fixed by Take Profit, calculated using the formula SL*2, or manually when the opposite signal is received. You may enter a short position when receiving the following signals: Donchian Channel corridor begins to expand in the direction of the downtrend; The price minimums start to decrease consistently; The candlestick crosses the lower level of the channel and closes under it. The MACD indicator is below zero, the histogram is decreasing. If all three signals coincide, one can open a short position right away. Stop Loss is placed behind the local maximum. The profit can be fixed by Take-Profit, equal to at least two Stop Losses. You can also fix the profit manually by closing the order when the signal to the contrary appears. Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Donchian Channel Indicator The Donchian Channel has its own characteristics. Among the advantages, we can note its simplicity and efficiency. The indicator consists of only three lines, which are superimposed over the chart of price movements. The Donchian Channel gives sufficiently high-quality signals. However, it may sometimes be wrong in low time frames, as there is market noise on such charts. Therefore, it is recommended to combine it with other indicators. Donchian Channel perfectly combines with oscillators, such as RSI, Stochastic Oscillator, MACD, etc. While trading price breakouts, the Donchian Channel is combined with trend indicators - Parabolic SAR, Power Fuse, MACD, Moving Average, etc. Conclusion Although the Donchian Channel signals look simple, they have already proven to be effective. Understanding the basis of channel formation, you can make your own "add-ons" to the strategy, such as using the MA as an additional indicator, etc. To better filter, the signals, try combining them on the chart with other indicators and oscillators.
