Thread :

Logarithmic v/s Linear scale chart.

Tried to capture the most important (but most ignored) concept in simplest language.

For many people, this is going to be an eye opener.

U may share this thread so that it can reach to maximum people of our traders community.

 Story :

Assume that you have been recruited as an Engineer in 1990 in XYZ company with salary of 4 k.

Next year (i.e. 1991) you got 20% salary hike and now your salary is 4k + 20% % rise = 4.8K.

You got extremely happy due to salary increment of 800 INR.
Now after 30 years in 2021, Your salary is 1.2 lac and today your boss has approved salary hike of whooping 800 INR.

But wait, the strange thing is, You are not happy today.

Bt Why??
The reason is simple.

Hike of 800 INR in 1991 was 20% of salary and the same amount now is less than 1% of current salary.

I hope you got my point.

This is where the "Log" chart comes into the picture.
Log chart depicts the price (Y axis of chart) with unit spaced in percentage terms.

Means the distance between 1-100 is bigger than 1100-1200.

While in normal chart the distance between numbers/unit is uniform.

linear chart treats 800 INR in same way irrespective of year.
Refer chart of Asian paint and understand the importance of Log chart in bigger time frame.

The trendline support/resistance on higher timeframe with linear scale chart may give you false signal. (or may not give signal).

(Observe the no of arrow. Difference highlighted in box)
When to use which?

a) For short term / Intraday time frame: Linear chart
b) For long term time frame : Log chart

Bro Tip : Now onwards, Observe the Y axis of chart posted by twitter gurus and notice which one they are using on particular timeframe. i.e Log or linear.
Special thanks to @sanstocktrader & @heartwon who taught me this concept.

5 RULES TO IDENTIFY A STRATEGY THAT WORKS:

There are plenty of trading systems available on the internet and there are many trading systems providers.

But how do you know which ones are going to be potentially profitable?

1/ PREMISE OF THE STRATEGY:

The most important factor in any trading system is the premise or philosophy or logic on which it is built.

The systems must be able to identify certain repetitive behaviors which are inherent to any market.

An example could be #trend or #momentum or #mean reversion etc.

The magnitude of these behaviors could vary over time but they are natural to any markets.

Better yet, you should have multiple systems that attack these behaviors...

This is what I call the Hybrid Approach !!!

2./ SIMPLER, THE BETTER:

Once you have understood the logic behind the system, make sure it's based on simple rules.

If there are more rules, it’s a red flag that the systems are probably over-optimized or curve fit to past data which is unlikely to work in the future.

Most of my strategies have no more than 5-6 rules.

That’s it.

Keep it Simple, Stupid!

Mr. Vijay Kedia built a net worth of over Rs. 800 crores.

But you probably never read past that headline.

So I binged hours of interviews to learn his investing principles and strategies.

Here are 20 lessons on investing from @VijayKedia1 Sir:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal


Before I start, a quick disclaimer, please don't ape his portfolio.

As the entry price, horizon and risk appetite would be far different than yours.

Rather lets draw inspiration and try to learn his stock picking skills.

Now let's DIVE IN👇

1/ Started off as a trader:

- Soon, beginner’s luck started to fade out and loses started to mount, to an extent where his mother was about to sell her ornaments.

- Although he was able to dodge the situation.

- This incident taught him the biggest lesson to have a stop-loss.

2/ Punjab Tractors:

- In 1990, he made his first investment by putting in his 10-years savings of Rs 35,000 in this stock, based on a news trigger that tractor industry will witness a turnaround.

- It worked and fetched him 4-5 times which he calls it as a fluke.


3/ He believes that an investor must possess three qualities:

i. Knowledge,
ii. Courage, and
iii. Patience.

1/ Here’s a list of conversational frameworks I’ve picked up that have been helpful.

Please add your own.

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you


3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.

“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”

“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”

4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:

“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”

“What’s end-game here?”

“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”

5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:

“What would the best version of yourself do”?

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹

Ok, I'll hop on this Elizabeth Warren/Native American testing bandwagon (gently and non-politically).

I've been a @23andMe customer for a while, and have followed their ancestry updates closely.

All is more or less as expected....except for this bit about Native American.


The family is almost completely composed of Spanish peasants (from various regions) who emigrated, along with a massive wave in the late 19th-cent./early 20th-cent., to Cuba back when it was a booming economy (richer than Spain's) and worth emigrating to (Communism killed that).

Also, the native population of Cuba was annihilated early on---was the first place the Spanish colonized after all. Having a native background in Cuba would be like having the same in, say, Massachusetts, particularly if you're (say) mostly Irish. Just really, really unlikely.

(Note: the North African/Arab background is less mysterious. The Iberian peninsula was part of the Muslim world for centuries. It would be odd *not* to have some Arab/Middle Eastern background coming from Spain. Given the family is mostly from Northern Spain, it's small though.)

I have a Spanish passport, have been back to the ancestral villages in Spain, seen the church where my grandmother was baptized, my grandfather told me stories about growing up as the child of Spanish colonists in rural Cuba. The native bit just clashes with all the family lore.
