Trading Triangles-Introduction

Triangles are some geometrical figures which are formed on charts. Unlike triangles having 3 point of contact, triangles in technical charts are formed when supports/resistance and tend line to meet at a single point.

Each triangle in charts comes with different shapes. Always triangles are classified under continuation pattern. The world “continuation” say that the trend is going to be same (uptrend or sideway or downtrend) and continue to follow the previous trend.

(Technical Analysis of Financial Markets by Jhon. J. Murphy, page no.129)

But, according to Edward and Magee in there book “Technical Analysis of Stock Trends 9^th Edition”... they classify triangles under Reversal (Page99).

Why are triangles formed?

Its pure psychology that, a price of a stock always moves in a trend. And a trend has two different terms those are support and resistance. Some times the supports and resistance show some unusual variations forming a triangle.

 In every triangle there is one constant either it is support/resistance and the price form uptrend/downtrend forming a triangle, opposite to the constant line. (Except in symmetrical triangle).

What are the parts of triangle?

There are many types of triangles. But, there are few things common in them.. Those are as follows:

• Support & Resistance (SAR): Every triangle has a support and resistance. The reason for these SAR helps you in many ways. Sometimes when a triangle fail to make itself a triangle. SAR plays a very important role, by showing the path of the triangles.

• Uptrend/Downtrend line: It is one of the most important parts of a triangle because it shows the behaviour of a price action. This uptrend line also play a very important role in measuring the future price action of a stock.

• Breakout Up/Down: when an uptrend line choreograph price action to break its support/resistance. The real sentiments of market play a real role and that’s the reason why we always see for a breakout. A breakout is always seen as a conformation of an uptrend/downtrend.

• Throwback/Pullback: These are only seen when there are poor bullish/bearish sentiments in market. It is also an indication of a fail-break.

• Gap: A gap is a gap in price movement of a stock. We normally see gaps during breakouts (some times even in Fail-breaks). There are various types of Gaps and the gap that we see during a breakout is a breakaway gaps.

• Cardle: most of people never consider cardle an important tool. A cardle is a place where the S/R and uptrend/downtrend line meet. It is a point of collision of two lines. But according to few, a cardle is going to help us determine it as triangle or wedge. It is also called apex/ point of interaction.

·         Descending triangle

·         Symmetrical triangle

Sri Renuka Sugars

Predicting market isn’t “butter chicken” these days. But I have tried my best to answer your quire "What a student can answer" .. I have given you some levels which are going to be major supports and resistance (some magical levels which are going to be good tops and bottoms).. As you can see the stock had performed bad more than expected..

Right know I want to be neutral on Renuka sugar because MACD have shown bearish indication but, it can make sudden bullish indication.  After stock crossing 51 levels it is having multiple resistances.   

I am not “shy” to use the world “only a god can predict this stock”.. Apart crossing 100D-MA there is nothing positive about this stock..  More over all, market sentiments can change anytime. There is a kind of risk factor..

Note: Don’t buy/ sell any stock on recommendation from friends/relatives/a student like me.. Go with a proper analysis, risk reward ratio and most important a GOOD STOP-LOSS.

Chambal Fertz: saw a sudden reversal

In recent days Chambal had shown a negative cross-over by crossing 100D moving average.. later we have  witnessed a sudden reversal.  

Right know after seeing a reversal we are looking a breakout, 95.55 is standing a major resistance for Chambal Fertilizer & chemicals. as per know Chambal opened with a gap later it filled it.. it is pretty risky, better to hook after a breakout

What is STYLE OF LEARNING? Part-3

I was pretty busy with my schedule due to which I was unable to post anything regarding “style of learning”. As I am a voluntary student of psychology, I do learn it as a part of my study. It’s pretty interesting to hear that “we all learn” even a student in classroom or even a person working in his office or a athlete who is preparing himself for Olympic games. Everyone do learn, but in there way. In there unique way of learning called “style of learning".

Let me give some interesting fact about learning. How learning can be used in a freaky way. It’s better to start with an example right?

 You all have seen “Magic” how magicians perform some trick to which you say “how did he do, that?”  Later you find he actually played with your “attention”.

Let me show you a video

 Did you see that!!!!! Ha!! you may be calling it a gimmick/trick/illusion etc. But basically it a part of learning model.

What did he really do?

Sincerely he played with your style of learning. He used your disadvantage of “Visual learning”. He knows that your brains Major source of data is collected from your eyes. So, he distracted your eyes with some freaky moves (I think you have seen his hands when performing) where your brain understands it as “grabbing a ball” but it isn’t that. It is because of his body language. “Where he is saying you that he is gabbing that ball”

As I always say, every learning style has its own “Advantage and Disadvantage”. So, I am committed to post only advantage of style of learning. "No Black Magic"

So in my next article I will be posting “how to use and develop your, style of learning”
