Hello guys! Have you ever heard of the "January effect"? It's a pattern that has been observed in financial markets where the prices of small cap stocks tend to go up in the month of January. Some people think this happens because of tax-loss selling (when investors sell stocks that aren't doing well in order to reduce their tax burden) or because more people are...
Isaac Newton, who turned people's view of the world upside down, once said: "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants". And indeed, each of us has a chance to discover something new for ourselves and others by drawing on the wisdom of our predecessors. I want to say a big thank you to Benjamin Graham, David Dodd, Warren...
Previous parts of the post: Part 1: My Three Comrades: the Chart, the Screener, and the Watchlist Part 2: Two captains of the same ship The market is an element we take for granted. It can't stop when we're busy doing other things, and it can't work if the stock market is off and you personally have work days. The small investor's impact on the market is...
Previous part of the post: My Three Comrades: the Chart, the Screener, and the Watchlist Now let's move on to the fundamental analysis.

So, let's refresh our knowledge from the previous posts (read part 1 and part 2 at the links): - The chart is based on the data from the tape; - The X-axis is the time scale, and the Y-axis is the price scale; - To avoid having to analyze a huge number of trades, interval charts were invented for convenience; - The most popular chart type is the Candlestick...
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, have emerged as one of the year's breakthroughs. NFTs have been making headlines recently in a variety of venues. Many inventors, artists, and corporate behemoths are eager to capitalize on this trend. Minting is one of the most critical phases in creating an NFT. Minting an NFT means converting digital data into crypto collections...
So, in the last post we learned how to build a simple line chart based on the tape. Each point on the chart is defined by coordinates from the time (X scale) and price (Y scale) of a trade. But some stocks are traded at a frequency of hundreds of trades per second, at different prices. The question arises: which trade price to choose from this set? Interval...
Last time we studied how the exchange price is formed, and we found out that it is important to learn how to read charts correctly in order to analyze price changes correctly.

Then enter on the retest of the 800-day ema and go long or...
The previous parts of the post can be found at the links: Part 1 - How is the share price formed on the stock exchange? We do it Part 2 - Bid/Offer: The Yin and Yang of Stock Prices So, let's continue. So why don't we ever see some orders in the order book? Because such orders don't have a price, which means they can't be arranged in a book where all orders...
Read the first part of this post at the link: How is the share price formed on the stock exchange? We do it So at what price and what volume will the deal eventually be made? To understand this, let's go back to the "price" parameter of the order. When a buyer placed an order "to buy 25 lots at $115 a share", the exchange takes it as "to buy 25 lots at a price...
The market is a forward looking mechanism. I have discussed before that the current correction can play out like 1994 bear market. For this reason I look at this as a historical precedent. When the market sees pause it anticipates a decline, this pushes stock prices up, at least in practice :)
A DEEP CORRECTION = a correction more than 25-30% within the consolidation period. Sometimes a stock might correct more especially in a volatile bear market. Deeper correction are more risky as they are more failure prone - use these ideas to put probabilities on your side. The checklist 1. You want as much time away from that correction as possible (at least 1...
