Volume of trade is the total quantity of shares or contracts traded for specified securities
how to use volume to improve you trading
if there is high volume up or green line is bigger than buyers are aggressive
if there is high volume down or red line is bigger then seller are aggressive

confused volume is an important indicator to show changes in trend or trend reversal

in normal volume are buying and selling are of same level the quantity of shares or trades is at an equilibrium so traders don't have any advantage or edge

6 important principle for candle stick analysis in trading

1. the length of any wick either to top or bottom of candle is always the first point of focus because it instantly show strength weakness and indecision and most important where smart money enter
2.  If no wick or shadow is created then this signal strong market sentiments in the direction of closing price so smart money is active there
3.  A wide body represents strong market sentiments and narrow body represent weak market sentiments
 narrow body with long shadow or wick then money enter on the opposite direction
4. A candle of the same type will have a completely different meaning depending on where it appears in price trend
candle stick should analyze the context of the move
Always read the market phase by phase and then read the latest day's action into the phase
5. Volume validate price
6. When a particular time frame don't make sense, then move to the next higher time frame for the big picture  or lower time frame for the microstructure of move




Treading candlestick with volume confirmation

volume is to identify interest level of institutional buyers
Price price to identify the direction of market


if current candle close is  above the previous bullish candle close than its bullish pattern
like wise
if the current candle close is below the previous candle close then its not bullish pattern it is inside bar



Professional Tips

1. We can't move the market but every candle shows what smart money trying to shows
    so their move trap or genuine is only validated by volume
2. Candle stick show half information another half information shows by volume


suppose 1st candle is big send candle 

but there may be case that second volume bar is greater than 1st it because
if the volume has represented buying how can the spread be narrow?
1. Either the institutional money is selling into the buying , possible reversal on near future
2. institutional money is prepared to absorb the selling from traders locked into this old trading range
breakout may happen

the above fig show sell signal




the volume bar is green
the candle is down closing at the top or middle
it shows that smart money testing supply and no more supply available


volume come in bullish gap than it result in strong bullish candle





volume is an important measure that can be used to identify as well as assess market strength and weakness

Learning how to identify volume trends is exciting especially if you are patient and devoted to be a fill time trader

With practice it can give a trader or investor a huge advantage

Support and Resistance 


support and resistance is area in the market that price is likely to react from
support is area in  market that price in market is likely to react from

In support and resistance before loop there should be 7-10 candle gap
Horizontal support 
generally seen in sideway pattern


it indicate supply is less and demand is more

Horizontal resistance

it indicate demand is less and supply is more

minor resistance
strong resistance
major resistance
after major resistance there will be strong selling pressure so it goes to down trend

Trending support 
It is  in uptrend
if there is more than 3 treading support it result in strong bullish

trending resistance
if there is more then 3 trending resistance it result strong bearish


support becomes resistance and resistance becomes support




if support becomes resistance then its strong selling signal


Resistance becomes support


if resistance becomes support is is buy signal

then the possible 

MACD line
MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence and Divergence






MACD line is of blue color
signal line is of red color
histogram is of black color

MACD indicators
1. Cross over
2. Zero Cross
3. Pull Back
4. Bullish divergence
5. Bearish Divergence


if MACD line(blue line) cross Signal line(red line) from down to up then it is buy signal

if MACD line (blue line) cross signal line (red line ) from top top down then it is sell signal

Bullish divergence 


we take two point price of bit long time interval more than few months
in such condition if the price is in down trend but if MACD is in uptrend then strong bearish will occur 


Bearish divergence

we take two point price of bit long time interval more than few months 
in such condition if the price is in up trend but if MACD is in downtrend 
then in this case market will go to bear market


RSI(Relative Strength Index)

RSI is one of the most important indicator

50-100 is called bullish zone


70-100 is over brought
0-30 is oversold 

we should sell we it is over brought i.e after 90
and buy if it is over sold after less than 20


if RSI is between 50-0
it may indicate Long Bearish Trend

if RSI is between 0-0 than 
it indicate strong Bearish Trend


if RSI is between 70-100
then it indicate strong bullish



Bollinger's bands

IT as discovered by John bollinger in 1980.


band size or distance show volatility of market





middle band is simple moving average
upper and lower band is standard deviation

In normal volatile market if certain outbreak is in upper band than it will be bullish market

In normally volatile if there is certain outbreak in lower band than it will be bearish market


if mid band support the candle stick with upper band than its strong bullish trend

if mid band is like resistance with the candle stick to lower band than its strong bearish trend

There are different types of trading indicator, including leading indicators and lagging indicators. A leading indicator is a forecast signal that predicts future price movements, while a lagging indicator looks at past trends and indicates momentum.

Using MAs can be fundamental for technical analysis strategies, and using a combination of techniques can result in long and short-term forecasts. MAs can be calculated manually and used in any chart analysis simply by following the formula.

MAs can be used to determine levels of support and resistance. IG charts feature MAs, as well as other technical tools like Bollinger bands and relative strength index (RSI), in order to help traders with technical analysis. It can be used by clicking the ‘technical’ tab at the top of the chart.

It’s also important to note that there are two main types of MAs; exponential moving averages (EMA) and simple moving averages (SMA).

Exponential moving average

The EMA is calculated by placing greater weight on the most recent data points. It can sometimes be referred to as the exponentially 'weighted' moving average. This is because EMAs react significantly to the most recent price changes.

The most popular EMAs are 12 and 26-day EMAs for short-term averages, whereas the 50 and 200-day EMAs are used as long-term trend indicators. When used in conjunction with other indicators, EMAs can help traders confirm significant market moves and gauge their legitimacy.



Discounted cash flow
Discounted cash flow (DCF) is a valuation method used to estimate the value of an investment based on its expected future cash flows. DCF analysis attempts to figure out the value of an investment today, based on projections of how much money it will generate in the future. We can know the composite value with the help of discounted cash flow
