A relative rotation graph, or RRG, compares the relative strength and momentum of stocks, sectors or other instruments against a benchmark. We can see which groups are leading, which are falling behind, and how their positions have changed. For Indian sector analysis, we can use an RRG to compare relative trends before examining individual price…
A dragonfly doji is a T-shaped candlestick with a long lower wick and little or no body. Its opening and closing prices sit close to the candle’s high. It shows that price fell during the period but recovered before the close. When we see this pattern after a decline, it can suggest that selling pressure…
When price moves sharply, we can miss the detail between the starting point and the finish. A fair value gap helps us mark part of that move and study what happens if price returns. We’ll work through the pattern, a rupee-based example and its limitations. The aim is to read the chart clearly, without treating…
Choosing algo trading software starts with a practical question: what do we need the software to do? Building rules, testing an options strategy and sending live orders are different jobs. A platform may handle one well without covering the others. Our first recommendation is Nubra for Indian traders who want options analysis, strategy planning and…
Automated trading platforms use software to monitor market data and submit or manage orders according to defined rules. We set the conditions; the system checks them and acts within the permissions and limits we provide. That sounds straightforward until we look at what “automated” covers. One platform may send alerts that require our approval. Another…
Algorithmic trading with Python means using Python code to analyse market data and apply defined trading rules. A complete system also checks risk, sends orders through a broker’s API and monitors what happens afterwards. We can start with a simple question: what exactly should our program do when a trading condition appears? Answering that clearly…
To start algorithmic trading, we need a clear trading rule, suitable market data, a way to test the rule and a broker-supported route for execution. We then test the system with simulated orders before considering a small, closely monitored live deployment. Writing code is only part of the process. We also need to know what…
The put-call ratio (PCR) compares put options with call options using either open interest or trading volume. We use it to understand the balance of options activity, then compare that reading with price movement and market conditions. A PCR above 1 means the selected put figure exceeds the call figure. Below 1, the call figure…
Direct market access, or DMA, lets an authorised client send orders electronically to an exchange trading system through a broker’s infrastructure without a dealer entering each order manually. We control the order instructions, while the broker still provides the market connection, applies required risk checks and keeps the necessary records. That distinction matters. DMA gives…
Quantitative trading, or quant trading, is a way of making trading decisions with data, statistics, mathematical rules and computer models. Instead of relying only on instinct, chart reading or market commentary, we define a rule, test it on historical data, and use the result to decide whether the idea deserves further work. At its simplest,…
A pennant pattern is a short continuation pattern that forms after a sharp price move. We usually see it when price moves strongly, pauses in a tight triangular range, and then attempts to break out in the same direction. The first sharp move is called the flagpole. The pause that follows is the pennant. On…
A rising wedge pattern forms when price makes higher highs and higher lows between two upward-sloping trendlines that move closer together. It has a bearish bias: the advance may be weakening despite rising prices. We look for a break below the lower trendline before interpreting the pattern as a bearish signal. The shape alone does…
