#DJI seems to be taking support today with a similar kind of price action observed around the trendline.

Are we in for a snap-back rally in the coming days?

Even the biggest handles with 100k+ followers get this simple thing wrong in charting!🤦‍♂️

This is the most important thing especially if you are analysing long term charts!🧐

So, let's get this right today!

USE LOG CHARTS 📈 FOR ANALYSING LONG TERM CHARTS!

Let’s go🧵...

1⃣ Wait, What's Log chart?

Before I define Log chart, let's look at the chart you are using daily - 'The Linear Chart'

- Linear chart is used by default in most platforms. This is probably why you never knew log charts

Wait, don't click on 'log' yet before you understand it...

2⃣ ok, so what does Linear chart mean?

Take a look at the image
- The y-axis is separated equally by 1000 points starting from 0 to 11000.
- So, any linear chart would have its y-axis equally separated by 'N' points always

And... that's where the problem lies...

3⃣ But, I don't see any problem?🤔

Ok ok.. let me explain...

- Can you look at this #TATAELXSI chart & tell me the price in '99 when it was listed? No!
- Can you draw a proper trendline in this chart? No!

Reason is because of the price congestion between '07 to '20...

4⃣ What else?🧐

- Whenever there is a price change in an instrument & it's drastic it'd be difficult to analyse on a linear chart

- Look at this example of #BTCUSD. What happened in 2021(refer to the red box)? 🤔

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

hmmm... ok🙄

For 7 yrs I struggled to ride trends..

& in 2015-17 when I started learning TA smthng crazy happened..

Here is a simple strategy that helped me..

CCI & Pivot Strategy🧵..

1⃣ How to filter stocks? Is there a scanner?

There are 1000s of stocks in the market & you need to invest in only a few.

How do you narrow it down to a select few?

Use this simple CCI based scanner every

It took me 10+ years & more than 1000+ hours of practice…

to master these 5 IMPORTANT RULES WHILE DRAWING TRENDLINES 🎯

These simple rules, if mastered, can help one spot HIGH PROBABILITY TRADES!

Ready to learn?🤓

Let’s go🧵…

1⃣ Trendlines are zones and not a single line!

- Due to volatility in price, many times prices tend to spike on both sides
- So, consider trendlines as zones from multiple swing highs(include wicks) to get the best fit trendline
- Your winning probability increases with zones

2⃣ Trendlines with more touchpoints

- Any trendline with 3 or more touchpoints is a very significant one
- The price points around significant trendlines are important & should be watched

Observe the commentary in the Nifty chart below

3⃣Trendlines on higher Time Frame are more significant

- A trendline on the 15 min chart will be easily broken than a trendline on the daily
- A shorter time trendline break might just mean a consolidation phase before the price moves up again resuming the larger trend

4⃣ The steeper the trendline the more likely it will break

- The less steep the trendline angle, the more significant it is & more likely to be respected.
- Any trendline with an angle greater than 30° is steep & likely to be broken before the previous trend continues.

The Ultimate Guide to ‘RELATIVE STRENGTH (RS)’...🎯

WAIT… This is NOT RSI that you use day in & out…

Rather a very IMPORTANT indicator that can CHANGE the way YOU trade/invest…🤓

So, hang on as I explain this with #TATASTEEL chart...

Let’s go 🧵…

1⃣ But, how will it change the way I trade?

- Ever wondered why the stock you are holding is not moving when the market is ripping higher?

Ex: ITC didn't move btwn June’20 & Feb’22 while the market rallied

This indicator will help you get rid of such underperforming stocks.

2⃣ ok, what’s RS?

When stock A goes...

- up faster than Nifty, it is STRONG/OUTPERFORMING relative to Nifty
- down faster than Nifty, it is WEAK/UNDERPERFORMING relative to Nifty

So, RS is relative performance of a stock compared to any benchmark (refer chart for example)

3⃣ Let’s dig deeper:

A stock is outperforming/strong when

- Nifty is going up, but the stock is going up much faster than Nifty
- Nifty is going down, but the stock is going down much slower than Nifty or going up

4⃣ More definitions:

A stock is underperforming/weak when

- Nifty is going down, but the stock is going down much faster than Nifty
- Nifty is going up, but the stock is going up lesser than Nifty or going down
