Candlestick Analysis - A Classic Way Of Using Candlesticks An overview of Candlesticks A candle represents the changes in price over an interval of time, such as 1 day or 1 minute. The main body of the candle illustrates the opening price at the start of the time interval and the price when the market closed at the end of the interval. The head and tail represent the highest and lowest prices during the interval. If the price closed at a price above the opening price, then the candle is referred to as a 'bullish' candle and if the price closed below the opening price, then the candle is referred to as a 'bearish' candle. The length of the shadows shows how much the price has moved up and down with respect to a candlestick within a specific duration. The size of the candlestick body shows the difference between the opening and closing price and it tells us a lot about the strength of buyers or sellers. Below, the most important characteristics of the analysis of the candlestick body are listed. A long candlestick body, that leads to quickly rising prices, indicates more buying interest and a strong price move. If the size of the candlestick bodies increases over a period, then the price trend accelerates and a trend is intensified. When the size of the bodies shrinks, this can mean that a prevailing trend comes to an end, owing to an increasingly balanced strength ratio between the buyers and the sellers. Candlestick bodies that remain constant confirm a stable trend. If the market suddenly shifts from long rising candlesticks to long falling candlesticks, it indicates a sudden change in trend and highlights strong market forces.

PSYCHOLOGY OF A TRADER | TRADING BASICS Market psychology is the idea that the movements of a market reflect (or are influenced by) the emotional state of its participants. It is one of the main topics of behavioral economics - an interdisciplinary field that investigates the various factors that precede economic decisions. Many believe that emotions are the main driving force behind the shifts of financial markets. And that the overall fluctuating investor sentiment is what creates the so-called psychological market cycles. So, the sentiment is made up of the individual views and feelings of all traders and investors within a financial market. Another way to look at it is as an average of the overall feeling of the market participants. But, just as with any group, no single opinion is completely dominant. Based on market psychology theories, an asset's price tends to change constantly in response to the overall market sentiment - which is also dynamic. Otherwise, it would be much harder to make a successful trade. In practice, when the market goes up, it is likely due to an improving attitude and confidence among the traders. A positive market sentiment causes demand to increase and supply to decrease. In turn, the increased demand may cause an even stronger attitude. Similarly, a strong downtrend tends to create a negative sentiment that reduces demand and increases the available supply.

A Beginner's Guide to Candlestick Charts A candlestick chart is a type of financial chart that graphically represents the price moves of an asset for a given timeframe. As the name suggests, it’s made up of candlesticks, each representing the same amount of time. The candlesticks can represent virtually any period, from seconds to years. While candlestick charts could be used to analyze any other types of data, they are mostly employed to facilitate the analysis of financial markets. Used correctly, they’re tools that can help traders gauge the probability of outcomes in the price movement. They can be useful as they enable traders and investors to form their own ideas based on their analysis of the market. The following price points are needed to create each candlestick: Open — The first recorded trading price of the asset within that particular timeframe. High — The highest recorded trading price of the asset within that particular timeframe. Low — The lowest recorded trading price of the asset within that particular timeframe. Close — The last recorded trading price of the asset within that particular timeframe. Collectively, this data set is often referred to as the OHLC values. The relationship between the open, high, low, and close determines how the candlestick looks. The distance between the open and close is referred to as the body, while the distance between the body and the high/low is referred to as the wick or shadow. The distance between the high and low of the candle is called the range of the candlestick. Being able to read candlestick charts is vital to almost any investment style, learn different candlestick patterns and you will be surprised how accurate they are.

INVESTING VS TRADING VS GAMBLING | Know the Difference Hey traders, In this post, we will compare investing and trading with gambling. 📈Investing Investing is the act of putting money in a financial market with the expectations of a long-term positive return. The investing decisions are usually made using fundamental analysis. The main goal of an investor is to predict the long-term market trends and benefit on them. Professional investing also involves assets allocation and diversification aimed to hedge potential risks. 💱Trading Trading is the process of selling and buying financial instruments expecting a short-term (occasionally, mid-term) profit. The trading decisions are usually based on technical and fundamentals analysis. The goal of a trader is to predict local price fluctuations and catch them. Professional trading implies strict, rule-based actions following a trading plan. 🎰Gambling Gambling is the act of betting on a specific event with the expectations of winning some value. Being completely luck-based, gambling usually involves get rich quick schemes and pursuit of easy money. What differs professional trading and investing from gambling is the fact that professional trading / investing involves objective analysis and strict planning, while gambling remains purely intuition based. Unfortunately, most of the market participants pretend that they trade and invest professionally while acting as gamblers in fact. Remember that long-term, consistent profits can be achieved only with the plan. Your intuition may bring some short-term profits, but in a long-run it will most likely lead you to a bankruptcy. ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section.

WHY 95% OF TRADERS DO NOT SUCCEED? The evidence suggests that only a very small proportion of day traders makes money year over year. There are certain patterns which may separate profitable traders from those who ultimately lose money. And indeed, there is one particular mistake that in our experience gets repeated time and time again. What is the single most important mistake that led to traders losing money? Here is a hint – it has to do with how we as humans relate to winning and losing. Our own human psychology makes it difficult to navigate financial markets, which are filled with uncertainty and risk, and as a result the most common mistakes traders make have to do with poor risk management strategies. Traders are often correct on the direction of a market, but where the problem lies is in how much profit is made when they are right versus how much they lose when wrong. Bottom line, traders tend to make less on winning trades than they lose on losing trades. Humans aren’t machines, and working against our natural biases requires effort. Once you have a trading plan that uses a proper reward/risk ratio, the next challenge is to stick to the plan. Remember, it is natural for humans to want to hold on to losses and take profits early, but it makes for bad trading. We must overcome this natural tendency and remove our emotions from trading. That will help you to be a consistently profitable trader.

5 Elements of a Smart Trade Plan Find out why you should have a trade plan—and the five elements that may help you put it to work successfully. Element 1: Your time horizon How long do you plan to hold a position? This will depend on your trading strategy. Generally, traders fit into one of three categories: Single-session traders are very active and look to gain from small price variations over very short time periods (minutes or hours) throughout the trading day. Swing traders target trades that can be completed in a few days to a few weeks. Position traders seek larger gains and recognize that it often takes longer than a few weeks to achieve them. Element 2: Your entry strategy Look for entry signals—for instance, divergences from trend lines and support levels—to help you place your trades. The signals you employ and the orders you use to make good on them hinge on your trading style and preferences. Element 3: Your exit plan When it comes to an exit strategy, plan for two types of trades: those that go in your favor and those that don’t. You might be tempted to let favorable trades run, but don’t ignore opportunities to take some profits. Element 4: Your position size Trading is risky. A good trade plan establishes ground rules for how much you’re willing to risk on any single trade. Say, for example, you don’t want to risk losing more than 2%–3% of your account on a single trade. You could consider exercising portion control, or sizing positions, to fit your budget. Element 5: Your trade performance Look over your trading history to calculate your theoretical trade expectancy, meaning your average gain (or loss) per trade. You start by determining the percentage of your trades that have been profitable versus those that haven’t. This is known as your win/loss ratio. Understanding what goes into a smart trade plan is the first step to prepare you for your next trade.

The goal is to build your asset portfolio and make it so strong that you can live off the passive income in your retirement. 5. Build your business around your personal financial goals As a business owner you have more control over the money you make versus being an employee with a set salary. If you want more money in your pockets, you can increase your revenue and your profit margins to ensure you are taking home more money. The more profits you have in your business the more you can pay yourself a dividend or bonus, depending on the legal structure of your business. 6.

Trading Basics | How to Identify The Market Trend 📈📉 Hey traders, In this article, we will discuss a proven price action based way to identify the market trend. ❗️And let me note, before we start, that no matter what strategy do you use in your trading, you should always know where the market is going and what is the current trend. Your judgement should be based on strict and objective rules that proved its accuracy. There are a lot of ways to identify the market trend. One of the simplest and efficient ones is price action based method. This method relies on impulse legs. The market never goes just straight up or down, the price action always has a zigzag shape with a set of impulses and retracements. The impulse leg is a strong directional movement, while the retracement is the correctional movement within the boundaries of the impulse. 📈The market is trading in a bullish trend if 3 conditions are met: 1️⃣the price forms an initial bullish impulse, 2️⃣retraces, setting a higher low, 3️⃣then starts growing again and sets a new high with the second bullish impulse. Once these 3 conditions are met, we consider the market to be bullish, and we expect a bullish continuation in such a manner. 📉The market is trading in a bearish trend if 3 following conditions are met: 1️⃣the price forms an initial bearish impulse, 2️⃣retraces, setting a lower high, 3️⃣then drops lower and sets a new low with the second bearish impulse. Once these 3 conditions are met, we consider the market to be bearish, and we expect a bearish trend continuation. ➖The third state of the market is called consolidation. The market is trading in a consolidation if the conditions for bullish or bearish trend are not met. The price chaotically forms bullish and bearish impulses, usually trading within the range. Knowing the current trend, one always knows whether a current trading position is trend-following or counter trend, or it is a sideways consolidation trade. Learn these simple rules and try to identify the market trend with them. ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section. Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Astrology learning 1Venus flower and pink heart rose There are interesting mathematical relationships between Venus, Earth and the Sun. For example, for every 5 synods of Venus, 8 Earth years and 13 Venus years pass (5 x 584 = 2,920; 8 x 365 = 2,920; 13 x 224 = 2,912 days): the first 7 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence are 1, 1 , 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13. (The total is 33, the number of the perfected initiates or Solar Christs.) This relationship means that every 8 years Venus draws a fivefold flower pattern, or pentagram, in relation to Earth and the Sun (with each considered as the stationary center). Many argue that this agreement with the pentagram of Venus, such as the star and the rose, is purely coincidental, despite the fact that ancient astronomers literally based their study on the synods. The five-pointed rose is a symbol of the Rosicrucians and Martin Luther, and the inverted star represents the evil pentagram. The Virgin Mary borrowed a title from Aphrodite, Stella Maris - star of the sea, referring to the planet Venus. Mary, of course, is the five-petalled rose at the heart of the cross. (See: Mary; Aphrodite Venus The difference between the inverted pentagram and the flower of the Queen Mother is the position of Venus in the sky: the eastern star is "destined" while the western star is "fallen". (See: Virgin Mary and Venus)

✍️WEEKLY QUOTE: Remember the errors✍️..I advocate that you focus on eliminating your biggest errors, rather than trying to acquire new knowledge.. ..It may feel like you are taking a step back, but this is a very useful heuristic for learning, because you are always acutely aware of what your biggest leaks are, and it is a much more efficient way to progress. When you constantly chop off your C-trade errors, eventually your A-trade becomes your B-trade, and you develop an entirely new, better A-trade.. When you are simply working on preventing your biggest leaks, all you have to do is make an effort to remember not to do them. If you are falling out of the Zone, it is much easier to steady the ship when you have simple reminders of what not to do, then trying to apply 10 pages of notes on complex trading concepts.

Trading needs to be treated like a business 🧑‍💼This is spoken about a lot but what does it mean?⁠ In starting a business you would need funding and a business plan, right?⁠ ⁠ You would have realistic goals mapped out and be focused on your cashflow.⁠ ⁠ You wouldn't blow your 'cash' in recruiting too fast, or buying too much stock or spending too much on marketing.⁠ ⁠ Yet, in trading most don't have a plan. Or focus on protecting their cash.⁠ ⁠ They also don't think long term in line with their plan.⁠ ⁠ They over estimate their expectations short term and in doing so mess up what they could achieve long term. ⁠ You just wouldn't do this in business right? No one would open or run a business you knew nothing about. Most come in to trading thinking this will be easy! It's not and we all come in knowing nothing. So again would you start any other business with no training or idea? Most can keep the trading cash flow topped up as we all start out on this journey having another job to fund trading. There is no such thing as a sure-fire way to make money online. However, if you seriously want to make money out of forex trading it needs treating like a business. In a lot of ways, being a trader is like being an entrepreneur. It takes more than just knowledge and a killer idea. It also takes hard work, discipline and mental preparation. The reason it’s a good idea to treat forex trading like a business is because as a trader, your account is your own business. Trading isn't about the quick money it's about being consistent. That consistency comes from having a plan and sticking to it much like you would a business plan. Treat losses as a cost of business and factor them into the plan. The business plan for you the trader will be the strategy and risk management you opt to run. Set realistic targets and goals this will ensure suitability, Much how good businesses set up there own goals and aims for coming year with out being to risky. If you lack on the knowledge front in certain areas invest in education and training, No successful business neglects training and learning. Invest in resources that will help your business grow. Yes TradingView is free but having a higher package and more data help me just as an example. There is no other business in the world like trading where the over heads and start up cost are low, So if paid resources can kick you on to next level factor them in as a cost of business. Keep treating trading as a hobby and it becomes an expensive one. Start treating trading as a business with the ethos and cultures applied the same as those of successful businesses and that profit starts to come naturally. Thanks for taking the time to read my idea. Hope you all have a good weekend Darren 👍 ⁠

Trading Psychology | How to Perceive Your Trades 👁 Hey traders, In this post, we will discuss a common fallacy among struggling traders: overestimation of a one single trade. 💡The fact is that quite often, watching the performance of an active trading position, traders quite painfully react to the price being closer and closer to a stop loss or, alternatively, coiling close to a take profit but not being managed to reach that. Fear of loss make traders make emotional decisions: extending stop loss or preliminary position closing. The situation becomes even worse, when after the set of the above-mentioned manipulation, the price nevertheless reaches the stop loss. Just one single losing trade is usually perceived too personally and make the traders even doubt the efficiency of their trading system. They start changing rules in their strategy, then stop following the trading plan, leading to even more losses. ❗️However, what matters in trading is your long-term composite performance. A single position is just one brick in a wall. As Peter Lynch nicely mentioned: “In this business, if you’re good, you’re right six times out of ten. You’re never going to be right nine times out of ten.” There are so many factors that are driving the markets that it is impossible to take into consideration them all. And because of that fact, we lose. The attached chart perfectly illustrates the insignificance of a one trading in a long-term composite performance. Please, realize that losing trades are inevitable, and overestimation of their impact on your trading performance is detrimental. Instead, calibrate your strategy so that it would produce long-term, consistent positive results. That is your goal as a trader. ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section.

Sinusoidal movement in channel, GalaIn this post, I am not referring to physics and math equations and probabilities, I'm just saying that the Display method of the probability of a numerical event is between 0 and 1, and just for easy recall in tutorials, I consider a number between 0 and 100. 0 indicates impossibility and we know that 100 indicates certainty. Therefore, will explain this price movement detection method in a simple and concise way. Consider a few general rules: 1- The price chart in a channel always tends to approach and return to the middle line of the channel. This is true for all types of the uptrend, downtrend, and neutral channels. 2- Sinusoidal movement is dynamic (of course, I mean in the financial market) and the range of movement, speed, and volume can vary. 3- the price chart after hitting the middle line, faces 3 possibilities. Usually, we consider these possibilities as 33 - 33 - 33 % 3-1- Reversal (pull-back ) to the previous direction. 3-2- Crossing the middle line and moving to hit the other line of the channel. 3-3- The price chart attached to the middle line of the channel continues to move. (I will publish the third point and its reasons in another post because this one is a complete and long tutorial for himself) 4- usually In uptrend and downtrend channels, the movement angle of 45 degrees is the most appropriate movement angle to create sinusoidal movements (consider between 30 and 50 degrees). And the 5: "Keep this last point in mind in all the training you read and learn from different people. From great masters in financial market analysis to an ordinary person like me " ** No theory, method of analysis, or analysis is ever 100% correct. In probabilities, we always have the nearest states, which means that when we say 100 for the certainty of occurrence, A probability may be up to 99.999999, but it is NOT 100%. So remember that there is always a possibility of a movement or change contrary to our analysis, rules, or imagination, and "This is one of the main reasons for placing a Stop-loss limit in trading" ----------------------------------- Please write any advice or suggestions. Dear friends, request any cryptocurrency pair, currencies pair for forex, and any index that you want to be analyzed and ask any questions. Thanks for your attention
