‘Dumb Money’ refers to retail traders who often try to make quick money.

Participation from smart money creates a "genuine breakout."
And the absence of smart money participation results in a "false breakout."
Hence, it is always a good idea to follow smart money (by knowing real or false breakout)
(3/N)
As per Investopedia
“A breakout is a stock price moving outside a defined support or resistance level with increased volume. A breakout trader enters a long position after the stock price breaks above resistance.”
(4/N)
Similarly, few recognize it as a breakdown if the price breaks the support trend line.
To keep it simple, we will focus only on the breakout.
(5/N)
As per Investopedia -
“A failed break occurs when a price moves through an identified level of support or resistance but does not have enough momentum to maintain its direction.”
(6/N)
Look at some examples:
Example 1 - HDFC
(7/N)
We need 4 parameters:
1) A Big Breakout Candle
2) Quick Time (the price shouldn’t move in small candles after breakout)
3) Absence of Selling
4) Good Volume
(9/N)
The breakout candle should be big as compared to the previous candle before the breakout.
It indicates the presence of "smart money"
(10/N)
A breakout should come in one quick candle (previous step).
It indicates the absence of "smart money"
A breakout with a couple of small candles is not good (as shown below)
(11/N)
Breakout candle should have no selling wick or the selling wick should be less than 20% of the breakout candle.
It indicates smart money is keen to carry the position!
(12/N)
These charts displayed these four characteristics at the time of breakout, and hence, the price showed a good move on the upside later.
There is a high probability of a good upside move if a chart displays all these characteristics during the breakout
(14/N)
As a trader, before entering any trade, you should know the bare minimum below 4 aspects:
- Entry
- Stop-Loss
- Profit Booking Level
- Risk per Trade

"VOLUME is the ultimate Trading cheat code" PART 2

#1 Volume Color Can Create a False Illusion
At first look, it looks like a big volume spike.
But if you notice the price candle, it has a big selling wick.
It indicates "SELLING PRESSURE" is high at that time.
We can easily avoid this false impression using the "BLACK" color code across all the volume bars.
Now your mind doesn't assume it is a bullish volume spike!
(If you don't want to use the black color, then view the chart without getting any bias based on the volume color)
#2 Analyze Each Volume Spike Carefully
In this image, the price is breaking the resistance trendline.
How do you say whether it is a genuine breakout or false breakout (from a volume perspective)?
Observe the major Volume Spikes.
A is Bullish (Price moved upside on the next day)
B is Bearish (Price fell on the next day)
C is Bearish (Price moved sideways and fell)
D is Bearish (Price fell on the next day)
So High Probability of FALSE BREAKOUT!
