Common Reasons Why Traders lose Money Even in an UptrendHi guys, This is CryptoMojo, One of the most active trading view authors and fastest-growing communities. Consider following me for the latest updates and Long /Short calls on almost every exchange. I post short mid and long-term trade setups too. Let’s get to the chart! I have tried my best to bring the best possible outcome to this chart, Do not consider financial advice. Common Reasons Why Traders Lose Money Even in an Uptrend #Not Setting Stop-Loss: #Not Conducting Technical Analysis: #Going against the Trends: #Following the Herd: #Being Impatient: #Not doing Homework or Research: #Averaging on Losing Position: Buy low sell high' is the motto. As simple as it sounds, why do most people lose money trading or investing? There are four major mistakes that most beginners make: 1. Excessive Confidence This stems from the idea that people think of themselves as special. They think they can 'crack the code' in the stock market that 99.9% of people fail to, and eventually make a living trading and investing. However, taking into consideration the fact that more people lose money in the market, this form of wishful thinking is the same mentality as going into a casino feeling lucky. You may actually get lucky and win big the first few times, but in the end, the house always wins. 2. Distorted Judgements While simplicity is key, the approach most beginners make in trading and investing are too simplistic, to the extend where it's hard to even call it a trading logic or reason to invest. They spot a few reoccurring patterns within the market, and this is almost as if they discovered fire. It doesn't take long to realize that the "pattern" they spotted was never based on any solid reasoning, or worse, wasn't even a pattern at all in the first place. 3. Herding Behavior The fundamentals of this is also deeply rooted in a gambling mindset. Beginners are attracted to the idea of a single trade or investment that will make them a millionaire. However, they fail to realize that there is no such thing. Trading and investing is nothing like winning the lottery. It's about making consistent profits that compound throughout time. While people should definitely look for assets that have high liquidity and some volatility , the get-rich-quick mentality drags irrational beginners into overextended/overbought stocks that eventually drop drastically. 4. Risk Aversion Risk aversion is a psychological trait embedded within all of mankind's DNA. Winning is fun, but we can't tolerate losing. We tend to avoid risk, even when the potential reward is worth pursuing. As such, many beginners take extremely small amounts of profits, in fear that they might close their position at a loss, trading with a terrible risk reward ratio. In the long run, their willingness to not take any risks leads to losses. Depending on the price action, they also go through seven phases of psychological stages: - Anxiety - Interest - Confidence - Greed - Doubt - Concern - Regret ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lack of Discipline An intraday trader must stick to a proper plan. A full-fledged intraday plan includes profit targets, factors to consider, methods to put a stop loss, and ways to select the right trading hours. The trading plan provides a comprehensive overview of how trading should be executed. Also, you can keep a record of trades executed during the day with the performance analysis of each stock at the end of the day. Such records help you identify the weak areas in your trading strategy and correct them. It is very important to be disciplined as a trader, the proper discipline will help you minimize the losses and maintain your capital. Not Setting Proper Trading Limits In intraday trading, the success lies in managing the risk. You should pre-define a stop loss and profit target when entering intraday trading. This strategy itself is an important part of trading discipline and this is where most people fail. For instance, if you incur a loss in the first hour itself, you should shut down the trading terminal for the rest of the day. You should also have an overall capital loss limit in place, it will safeguard you against trading losses. Compensating for a Rapid Loss This is one of the common mistakes in the trading community. When a trader incurs a loss, he/she either tries to average a position or overtrades excessively to recover the loss. This further leads to a greater loss and put them into more trouble. Losses are a part of intraday trading, instead of overtrading, it is wise to accept the loss, analyze the strategy and make improvements from the next day. Heavy Dependency on Tips Nowadays, there are ample of intraday tips flowing everywhere on the digital media. It is a common phenomenon for a trader to rely on these external tips, however, this needs to be avoided. The best way to learn intraday trading is by gradually learning how to read charts, understanding structures, and interpreting results on your own. Many traders refrain from taking these efforts and because of this, they end up on the losing side. The Beyond App by Nirmal Bang provides deeper insights into the market, the technical research offered by Nirmal Bang is spot on. You can use that research for reference, however, nothing can beat practical experience. Not Keeping Track of Current Affairs The external news, events, and tragedies do have an impact on the stock market. Hence, it is important for an intraday trader to keep a track of the Indian as well as global markets. Even the performance of global markets has an impact on the movement of Indian markets. Make your trade after the news or event has been announced, do not try to speculate the market based on the news. There are even instances when traders do not have any sound trading strategy, they just make decisions based on gut feelings or emotions. One needs to remember that intraday trading in itself is a skill, it is not a gamble, it takes time to develop proficiency, you cannot expect rapid results. The above are some of the major reasons why intraday traders lose money, ensure that you are disciplined enough, stick to a proper strategy, analyze your strategy at regular intervals, and things will fall in place. This chart is likely to help you make better trade decisions if it does consider upvoting it. I would also love to know your charts and views in the comment section. Thank you

From Newbie to Experienced Trader | Full Path Explained 📖I was reflecting on how I became a trader, and suddenly I was reminded of a great book called «A hero with a thousand faces» which then led to the analogy between the journey of a trader and the hero's journey. And while just as any analogy this one is somwhat superficial, I really feel like there is a lot of truth to it. Just think of how many of us have trading histories that look something like this? ♣️A grand call to adventure. Who would not want to make a pile of money working from the comfort of your own computer screen? ♠️Finding a mentor. Good mentors matter! Few of us who have succeeded would have done so without some help. ♣️Crossing over into an “unreal” world. Markets are crazy. When we look deeply into markets, maybe we become a little crazy ourselves, and we certainly become disconnected from ordinary reality. ♠️Facing dire challenges. The emotional highs and lows of trading can be extreme. Is there a trader alive who hasn’t been awake at 4am wondering if they can ever do this, why they ever tried in the first place, how they could be so stupid to make the same mistakes over and over, and what they were going to do tomorrow? (This is probably not the time to mention that we only write stories about the heroes that complete the journey! A lot of dragons feasted very well, for a very long time.) ♣️Failure somehow, perhaps almost miraculously, is transformed to success. ♠️We figure out how to incorporate our trading activities into the everyday world, and discover that things probably weren’t quite as exotic or difficult as we had thought. 📌My point is that trading is not really about learning patterns. It is not about learning some math. It is not about skill development, and it is not even about risk management. All of these things are important, but the real work of trading is work on ourselves. ✅Remember: Before facing the dragon in a cave, one needs to awaken the dragon within. ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ What do you want to learn in the next post?

Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing - Step 2 < Let's just watch it for three minutes! Zhuge Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing > We learned the basic theory about the composition of candles yesterday, and today we're going to summarize the names of the candles while looking at the actual candles. You can think of it as a review of yesterday's content! First, let's look at the left candle. The left candle is green, so it's bullish candle. - Bullish candle is a candle with a higher closing price than the starting price, which means that the price was higher at the end than at the beginning of the candle formation. The starting price and the closing price can be confusing, so let's find out the easiest high price and low price first. The high price is the highest price in the candle. They don't care about bullish or bearish candle. The low price is the lowest price in the candle, as opposed to the high price. In these candle, the high price is around 22315 and the low price is around 22250. In the bullish candle, the 'starting price' is 'below' the closing price. So the red part is the beginning of the candle. It looks like 22265. The closing price is the blue part located on the opposite side. It looks like it's about 22300. This time, let's distinguish between the body and the tail. *If you divide the bullish candle into tail and body, it can be divided into three categories: lower tail, body, and upper tail. Lower tail (low price ~ market price) Body (shiga to closing price) Upper tail (Closing price ~ expensive) We found low prices, starting prices, closing prices, and high prices earlier, so you can replace them as they are. Lower tail (22250 to 22265) Body (22265 to 22300) Upper tail (22300 to 22315) It's not hard, right? In fact, the tail, the body, the top price, and the low price can be intuitively distinguished, so it is important to understand to the extent that "Closing price" and "Starting price" are not confused. The candle on the right is a bar. Check it out and let's understand why it's like that!

Traders and Gamblers: Know the main differences!Hi guys, This is CryptoMojo, One of the most active trading view authors and fastest-growing communities. Consider following me for the latest updates and Long /Short calls on almost every exchange. I post short mid and long-term trade setups too. Let’s get to the chart! I have tried my best to bring the best possible outcome to this chart, Do not consider financial advice. We are gonna go through 6 crucial points and elaborate how traders are different from gamblers. 1) As a trader, one’s aim is to focus on the next 100 trades instead of the next 10. Long-term success, profitability, and consistency are two of the main things traders should target. However, a gambler’s wish and desire is to make quick money. 2) A successful trader/investor has a backtested trading plan that he sticks to and optimizes along the way, adapting to changing market conditions. On the other hand, gamblers like to trade based off what other people think and tweet, or by simply opening a random Buy/Sell position and hoping it plays out successfully. 3) Profitable traders always diversify their portfolio and risk no more than 1-2% per trade. On the contrary, gamblers go “full margin mode” on a single trade without setting a Stop Loss and end up blowing their accounts and blaming the markets. 4) Chasing markets and rushing the process is not what real traders do. Instead, they follow their plan and wait for the price to play out and match their entry criteria before executing. Nonetheless, gamblers like to overtrade, open positions based on nothing, make biased decisions. 5) When enduring a loss or two (or three), traders neither get emotional nor try to revenge the markets. They know that if they obey risk management principles and open high risk-to-reward positions, they will cover all their previous losses and get back to making profits. Gamblers, on the other hand, get angry and start attempting to revenge the market by making foolish decisions and entering many illogical trades. 6) Last but not least, if you want to be successful and profitable in this field, you have to treat trading as a business and take things seriously. Those that think markets are a playground or a casino machine will never succeed in this space. Gambling vs Trading Gambling involves staking on the occurrence of an event that has an uncertain outcome for winning. For an action to be considered as gambling, three prerequisites must be present; the stake, the risk involved and the prize to be obtained upon the occurrence of the event. Gambling has existed since records began. Early gambling involved six-sided die in Mesopotamia in 3000 BC. Around the 9th century, playing cards made their entrance, giving birth to the modern card games we know today. Over the years, gambling has taken several shapes and forms such as sports betting, parimutuel betting, and the gamut of casino bets. Trading on the other hand, involves the buying and selling of financial instruments like cryptocurrencies, stocks, bonds, derivatives amongst others. There are several types of trading such as high-frequency trading, day trading, etc. each of which has its pros and cons. Historically, the trading of financial instruments began in the 17th century after merchants banded together to form joint-stock companies. In 1602, the Dutch East India Co. issued the first recorded paper shares, allowing for the trading of stocks. This revolutionary concept spread through the world, leading to the creation of exchanges such as the London Stock Exchange which was founded in 1773. This chart is likely to help you make better trade decisions if it does consider upvoting it. I would also love to know your charts and views in the comment section. Thank you

As Above So Below - the harmony of the market In this real world, there is various philosophy that tries to explain the "As above, so below" harmony is the great law of nature but none can prove this law hence it's still a hypothesis. The law of nature works on everything and the stock market is not untouched by nature. I am not here to give a lecture on this law of nature but to prove how this harmony of nature is preserved in the stock market and to share my research work on 'Stock-et' science which is equally difficult as 'Rocket' science. Many of you have heard of these famous patterns:- -> 'Head and Shoulder' -> 'Cup and Handle' -> 'Rounding Top/Bottom' -> 'Flag/Pennant' -> 'Double Top/Bottom' Do you all observe some correlation among them? They all are candlestick patterns that either decide reversal or continuation, if this was your observation then probably you are correct but I wasn't indicating this. Let me explain to you what kind of relationship I was talking about. How do we estimate the target of these patterns? To the target level, we first measure the depth of the pattern i.e. how deep it's below the breakout level. As its depth is below so will the height above. Now, I think you all can draw how this law of nature is respected here in the candlestick pattern or more precisely in the stock market. Let’s have an example to be more sound:- The above chart describes how BTC fell after the breakdown following this law of nature. It fell non-stop without showing any jerk until it attained the same depth as its height or say it fell until the script attained the equilibrium. This proves how the market preserves "As above, so below" harmony, the great law of nature. Still not convinced then look to another example, This is the vice-versa of the previously explained example, here index attains the height as the depth of the cup - i.e. ' equilibrium' after giving a breakout. This proves how the market preserves "As below, so above" harmony, the great law of nature. Now let's look at this concept with different dimensions i.e. dimensions of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Don’t be afraid I'm not going to talk about 'Rocket' science but 'Stock-et' science. -> In math, we all have read negative and positive cancels out i.e. (-3+3=0) same in candlestick patterns if the stock has a pattern depth of then the pattern target would be +30% to attain '0' or say 'equilibrium'. -> In physics, we all have read that negative charges neutralize the positive charge to attain 'equilibrium' same in the stock market. -> In chemistry, we all have read that all chemical changes occur in nature to attain 'equilibrium' i.e. two elements share their electrons to attain 'stability' ( H2O, here two hydrogen molecules share their 1 electron with 6 electrons of oxygen to attain equilibrium) this same happens in markets all market movements occur to attain 'stability'. You all can use this law to get the target after the breakout or breakdown cause the pattern name matters less. Generally, people have fantasies about 'Rocket' science but we traders have fantasies about 'Stock-et' science. Please drop comments on whether you have a fantasy for any of the above science. Also, let me know how many of you believe that the stock market doesn't work on speculation but has its science let's call it 'Stock-et' science.

The U.S. Dollar Index | Everything You Need to Know The U.S. Dollar Index is a measure of the value of the U.S. dollar against six other foreign currencies. Just as a stock index measures the value of a basket of securities relative to one another, the U.S. Dollar Index expresses the value of the dollar in relation to a “basket” of currencies. As the dollar gains strength, the index goes up and vice versa. The strength of the dollar can be considered a temperature read of U.S. economic performance, especially regarding exports. The greater the number of exports, the higher the demand for U.S. dollars to purchase American goods. The index is a geometric weighted average of six foreign currencies. Since the economy of each country (or group of countries) is of different size, each weighting is different. The countries included and their weights are as follows: Euro (EUR): 57.6 percent Japanese Yen (JPY): 13.6 percent British Pound (GBP): 11.9 percent Canadian Dollar (CAD): 9.1 percent Swedish Krona (SEK): 4.2 percent Swiss Franc (CHF): 3.6 percent The index is calculated using the following formula: USDX = 50.14348112 × EURUSD^-0.576 × USDJPY^0.136 × GBPUSD^-0.119 × USDCAD^0.091 × USDSEK^0.042 × USDCHF^0.036 When the U.S. dollar is used as the base currency, as in the example above, the value is positive. When the U.S. dollar is the quoted currency, the value will be negative. We constantly monitor the performance of DXY because very often it gives us great trading opportunities. ✅LIKE AND COMMENT MY IDEAS✅ Please, like this post and subscribe to our tradingview page!👍

SOL Bearish Continuation According to Deep LearningThis post is a continuation of my ongoing efforts to fine-tune a predictive algorithm based on deep learning methods, and I am recording results in the form of ideas as future reference. Brief Background: This algorithm is based on a custom CNN-LSTM implementation I have developed for multivariate financial time series forecasting using the Pytorch framework in python. If you are familiar with some of my indicators, the features I'm using are similar to the ones I use in the Lorentzian Distance Classifier script that I published recently, except they are normalized and filtered in a slightly different way. The most critical I’ve found are WT3D, CCI, ADX, and RSI. The previous post in this series: As always, it is important to keep in perspective that while these predictions have the potential to be helpful, they are not guaranteed, and the cryptocurrency market, in particular, can be highly volatile. This post is not financial advice, and as with any investment decision, conducting thorough research and analysis is essential before entering a position. As in the case of any ML-based technique, it is most useful when used as a source of confluence for traditional TA. Notes: - Remember that the CCI Release is tomorrow and that this model does not consider additional volatility from this particular event. - The new DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) Metric is an experimental feature geared towards assessing how reliable the model's prediction is. The closer to 0 this number is, the more accurate the prediction.

STOP LOSS AS LIFE SAVIOROANDA:XAUUSD Stop-losses prevent large and uncontrollable losses in volatile trades. If you’re not using stop-losses, it’s only a matter of time when a large losing position will get out of control and wipe out most of your trading profits, eventually even your entire account! If you’re serious about staying in the game in the long run and growing your trading account, it’s necessary to use stop-loss orders in every single trade you’re taking. That’s the first rule of this article – Always use stop-losses! Stop-losses also play a major role in risk management. Depending on their stop-loss, traders are calculating what position size to take, how much money to risk on a single trade, how much they’re risking on any single dollar they’re making, and much more . Time Stop As their name suggests, time stops refer to closing a trade after a pre-specified period of time. For example, a trader who is day trading the market could close all of his open trades after the end of the trading day, while swing traders who don’t want to hold their trades over the weekend could simply close all trades by the end of the Friday trading session. Time stops are best combined with other types of stop-loss levels. If your trade is still active by the end of the trading day or ahead of the weekend, you could look to close it manually in that case. Percentage Stop Finally, percentage stops are based on a percentage of your trading account to limit the total risk of a trade. For example, a trader with a $10,000 account who wants to risk 3% of his trading account on a single trade could place a stop-loss at a level that ensures his total potential loss is $300. Some traders might think that percentage stops are a good way to manage and limit losses in the market. However, bear in mind that percentage stops imply placing a stop-loss at an arbitrary level, as long as the total potential loss doesn’t exceed a percentage of the trading account. Much better results can be achieved by combining chart stops with percentage stops, i.e. a trader would place a stop-loss based on an important technical level and manage his total risk by adjusting the position size of the trade. We’ll show you how to do exactly that later in this article . Trailing Stops Trailing stops automatically move the underlying stop-loss level with each tick of the price that goes in your favour. However, if the price reverses and starts to go against you, a trailing stop will stay at its most recent level, limiting your losses or locking in unrealised profits. CONCULUSION : WETHER YOU DO FOREX , STOCKS OR CRYPTO TRADING , STOPLOSS IS IIMPORTANT , AND IT ALWAYS GIVE YOU ANOTHER OPPURTUNITY TO TRADE AGAIN

Trading Basics | Learn What is a PIP 👉What is a Pip? The unit of measurement to express the change in value between two currencies is called a “pip.” If EUR/USD moves from 1.1050 to 1.1051, that .0001 USD rise in value is ONE PIP. A pip is usually the last decimal place of a price quote. Most pairs go out to 4 decimal places, but there are some exceptions like Japanese yen pairs (they go out to two decimal places). For example, for EUR/USD, it is 0.0001, and for USD/JPY, it is 0.01. 👉What is a Pipette? There are forex brokers that quote currency pairs beyond the standard “4 and 2” decimal places to “5 and 3” decimal places. They are quoting FRACTIONAL PIPS, also called “points” or “pipettes” which equal a 10th of a pip. 👉How to Calculate Pip Value: 👉The value of pip depends on the following three factors: ✔️The quoted currency ✔️The volume of the trade ✔️And the exchange rate Based on these factors the fluctuation of even a single pip can have a significant impact on the value of the open position. The value of 1 pip is calculated by the following formula: The value of 1 pip = (Pip in decimal places * Trade Volume) 👉Example: 1 pip volume in EUR/USD is equal to 0.0001 Then 1 PIP VALUE equals: 100,000 EUR—> 100,000*0.0001= 10 USD 10,000 EUR—> 10,000*0.0001= 1 USD 1,000 EUR—> 1,000*0.0001= 0.1 USD 100 EUR—> 100*0.0001= 0.01 USD ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ What do you want to learn in the next post?

Market Reversal & Candlestick Pattern | Spot & Trade It Like Pro Candlestick patterns are frequently applied for the identification of early trend reversal signs. Here are the three most common reversal formations that you may encounter trading different markets: 1️⃣ - Equal inside bar formation Once the price reaches some important pivot point quite often it tends to form a weak candle with a long rejection wick (long in comparison to the buddy of the candle). In case if the consequent candle's body has the same range, we call that the equal inside bar. It can be treated as the reversal formation ONLY with additional confirmation. Without an additional trigger, chances will be high that the market will start a sideways movement instead. 2️⃣ - Engulfing candle Once the price reaches some important pivot point quite often it tends to form a weak candle with a long rejection wick (long in comparison to the buddy of the candle). In case if the consequent candle's body engulfs (has a bigger range) the previous candle, we call that the engulfing candle. By itself, it is a quite strong reversal signal and can be applied as a trigger for opening a trading position. 3️⃣ - Engulfing candle (2X) Sometimes, the engulfing candle engulfs not only the previous candle but also one more preceding one. We also can call such a candle a high momentum candle. It is considered to be the strongest reversal formation (among these 3) and can be applied as a signal for a trade entry. ❗️Remember that candlestick patterns work only on strong pivots /structure levels. Being formed on random levels, the performance of these formations is relatively low. Let me know, traders, what do you want to learn in the next educational post?

Back to Basics video on examples of golden and dead crossoversCriteria for a dead crossover is that the short term moving average crosses below a longer term moving average while both are pointing lower. Criteria for a golden crossover happen when a shorter term moving average crosses above a longer term moving average while both are turning higher IN this example I have used a 55 and 200 day simple moving average.

What News to Follow | Top 5 Forex Fundamentals Economic indicators and announcements are an essential part of fundamental analysis. Even if you’re not planning on finding trades using fundamentals, it’s a good idea to pay attention to how the overall economy is performing. Here’s a cheat sheet covering six key indicators and announcements to watch out for. 1. Non-farm payrolls (NFP) The non-farm payrolls report estimates the net number of jobs gained in the US in the previous month – excluding those in farms, private households and non-profit organisations. 2. Consumer price index (CPI) The chief measure of inflation is the consumer price index, which measures the changing prices of a group of consumer goods and services. 3. Central bank meetings As we’ve seen, most traders follow economic figures so they can anticipate what a central bank might do next. So, it only makes sense that we pay attention to what happens when they actually meet and make decisions. 4. Consumer and business sentiment reports Multiple organisations are constantly surveying consumers and business leaders to create sentiment reports. While the number of reports they produce is staggering, they all play their part in shaping the markets’ expectation for the future. 5. Purchasing manager index (PMI) Purchasing manager indices measure the prevailing direction of economic trends in a given industry, according to the view of its purchasing managers. They are used as an indicator of the overall health of a sector. Pay close attention to these fundamentals. They play a crutial role in trading. ✅LIKE AND COMMENT MY IDEAS✅ Please, like this post and subscribe to our tradingview page!👍

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.

🏵MOVING AVERAGE TYPES🏵 🏆What Is A Moving Average: A moving average is one of the lagging technical indicators which the traders and investors use for determining the trend’s direction. It totals the data points of the chart and then divides the total by the number of data points over a specific time period for arriving at an average. It is referred to as the “moving” average as it is continually recalculated which is based on the latest price data. The moving average is used by the trader for determining support and resistance by evaluating the price movements. This indicator shows the previous price movement of the asset which the traders use to determine the potential direction of the future price move. 🏆Simple Moving Average: The SMA Is the simplest moving average that is obtained by adding the most recent data points set and then dividing the total by the number of time periods. The SMA indicator is used by traders to generate signals of when to enter or exit the trade. An SMA is a lagging indicator as it is based on the past price data for a given period that can be computed for different types of prices such as high, low, open, and close. Traders use this indicator for determining buy, sell signals. It also helps to identify support and resistance zones. 🏆 Exponential Moving Average (EMA): EMA is the other type of moving average that gives more weight to the most recent price points and makes it more responsive to recent volatility. EMA is more responsive to recent price change when compared to the SMA as it applies the same weight to all price changes in the given specific period. 🏆Most Common MA’s: • 20ema - Best for shorter time frames and volatile price movement • 50ema - Good for overall trend insight and outlook • 200ema - Best for longer time frames and larger trends 🏆KEY TAKEAWAY: While one might prefer one or the other type of MA, traders can use both to gain the trading edge. The key is to know how to use the indicator properly. I can say for myself that I use both sometimes, especially when going through my stocks watchlist and these indicators have proven to be effective despite being relatively simple. I Hope you guys learned something new today✅ Wish you all Best Of Luck👍 😇And may the odds be always in your favor😇 Do you like this post? Do you want more articles like that?

What is Gap in Trading | Ultimate Guide Gaps are important parts of the financial market, especially in stocks and currencies. They happen when an asset opens at a significantly lower or higher price than where it closed at. Gap is a situation where a currency or any other asset opens sharply lower or higher than where it closed the previous day. Such a gap happens when there is a major event or news when the markets are closed. It usually represents an area where there is no trading taking place. There are three main scenarios that happen after a gap in the market forms. First, an asset price can continue moving in the direction of the gap. For example, when a bullish gap forms, an asset’s price can continue with that trend. Second, a gap can be filled within a few days or months. Finally, a gap can be followed by a long period of consolidation as traders focus on the next major moves. In all these, it is always good to focus on the asset’s volume. The most common strategy of gap trading is when you decide to enter a trade in the opposite direction of the gap. In this case, you will be betting that the asset will reverse after forming a gap. Ideally, one way of doing this is to check the trends of volume after the gap happens. Still, the risk of doing this is that the asset will either consolidate or resume the gap trend. ✅LIKE AND COMMENT MY IDEAS✅ Please, like this post and subscribe to our tradingview page!👍
