TA learning
...............
while this element help me to understand in detail the subject , but following order of learning may help.
1] understanding TREND from weekly chart. Start with simple CLOSE based LINE chart - it clarifies TREND,U can choose ,higher HIGH-higher LOW for UPTREND ,using price action .10 week MA line slope is also well .
2] understand basic of PRICE constructing CANDLE - it helps to follow from color open-close ,shape- bullish/bearish/indecision . A big size candle shows bias of BULL/BEAR. Then comes REVERSAL bar
3] LOCATION- 2 r important - SUPPORT & KNOWN RESISTANCE. lower pivot/ higher pivot where trend may change , so near to pivot -how candle r forming .This location & formation of candle can create - 1st understanding of bias in trade.
4] Pattern- to see typical continuation or REVERSAL , it helps on majority perspective how sidelined player may join . Also known as STRUCURE- flag/pennant r continuation structure. W /M - triple TOP/bottom , r REVERSAL - H & S V or ^ are variations . W/M easily readable, V/^ - takes time to trade with LOCATION.
5] cyclicity- uptrend - distribution -downtrend-accumulation - this 4 stage in higher time frame . Mean reversion - basic GREED force study , IMPULSE bar vs how far its reacting- this is actually more imp .
6] Next comes moneyflow - we always know big money coming - creates MOMENTUM ,so the idea of strong hand/giant footprint. We study typical ORDERFLOW to see it, $/inr relation helps ,Govt sustainability ,policy decision r other indicator.
After some fund coming, it will be distributed from large to MIDCAP - also in Sector rotation keeping NIFTY in a zone . PL switch now in SWING mode trade ,
in upswing - lower pivot break down PROVES moneyflowing out- immediately join in short.
Similarly At short in TOP, stop triggered- proves again money flow started-PLAY LONG.
THIS IS THE SKILL OF A TRADER.
7] when direction bias exists , just hold using any momentum tool to get more juice .
Only at new high/new low as price reaches unknown territory USE DIVERGENCE STUDY - HOW TO SHORT NEW TOP or how to buy at bottom to catch like recent V in nifty.
8] play plan on Trade zone is very simple - create a zone , buy at known low while reversing or forming small doji - take profit with small target - condition u to this way thinking. MA flattens - higher low with lower HIGH - set up to trade this condition.
9] Detail study on chart , say 5min/ then hr chart/daily/weekly clears in ur mind how various group is coming /taking out money - when comes CONFLUENCE , how imp news affect PRICE.
It will help to eliminate random factor vs TREND ,quick sharp move - volatility.
