The Chart Types we need a charting technique that displays this information in the most comprehensible way. If not for a good charting technique, charts can get quite complex. Each trading day has four data points’ i.e the OHLC. If we are looking at a 10 day chart, we need to visualize 40 data points (1 day x 4 data points per day). So you can imagine how complex it would be to visualize 6 months or a year’s data. As you may have guessed, the regular charts that we are generally used to – like the column chart, pie chart, area chart etc does not work for technical analysis. The only exception to this is the line chart. The regular charts don’t work mainly because they display one data point at a given point in time. However Technical Analysis requires four data points to be displayed at the same time. Below are some of the chart types: 1. Line chart 2. Bar Chart 3. Japanese Candlestick The focus of this module will be on the Japanese Candlesticks however before we get...
The Beginner’s Guide to Technical Analysis Combining Fundamental and Technical Analysis On the left: 4H chart of EUR/USD with various technical methods applied (source: Twitter) On the right: Kandinsky horizontale (Source: Google Images) Up to this point, we’ve explored Support & Resistance, Candle Patterns, Moving Averages, Fibonacci Retracements, Oscillators, Bands, Channels and Envelopes.

In reality, behind successful FX speculation lies a decision making process that most likely blends technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Picture this: you are a trader for a hedge fund, ...

The Call Option

 The Call Option Let us now attempt to extrapolate the same example in the stock market context with an intention to understand the ‘Call Option’. Do note, I will deliberately skip the nitty-gritty of an option trade at this stage. The idea is to understand the bare bone structure of the call option contract. Assume a stock is trading at Rs.67/- today. You are given a right today to buy the same one month later, at say Rs. 75/-, but only if the share price on that day is more than Rs. 75, would you buy it?. Obviously you would, as this means to say that after 1 month even if the share is trading at 85, you can still get to buy it at Rs.75! In order to get this right you are required to pay a small amount today, say Rs.5.0/-. If the share price moves above Rs. 75, you can exercise your right and buy the shares at Rs. 75/-. If the share price stays at or below Rs. 75/- you do not exercise your right and you do not need to buy the shares. All you lose is Rs. 5/- in this case....
