WHAT IS A MUTUAL FUND?

WHAT IS MEANT BY MARKET CAPITALISATION?

 Market capitalization, often referred to as market cap, is a measure of the total value of a publicly traded company. It represents the market value of a company's outstanding shares of stock. Market cap is calculated by multiplying the company's current share price by the total number of its outstanding shares. Market capitalization is an important metric for investors and analysts as it provides an indication of a company's size and its relative position in the market. It is widely used to categorize companies into different groups, such as large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap. Here are the commonly used categories based on market capitalization: 1-Large-Cap: Companies with a market cap generally exceeding $10 billion are considered large-cap. These are typically well-established, financially stable companies with a significant presence in their respective industries. Examples include Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. 2-Mid-Cap: Mid-cap companies have a market cap between $2 bi

WHAT FACTORS DETERMINE INTEREST RATES?

   Interest rates are determined by a variety of factors, and their specific influences can vary depending on the country and the type of interest rate in question (e.g., short-term rates, long-term rates, mortgage rates, etc.). Here are some key factors that commonly impact interest rates: 1-Monetary Policy: Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States or the European Central Bank in the Eurozone, play a crucial role in setting interest rates. Through monetary policy tools like adjusting the benchmark interest rate or open market operations, central banks aim to manage inflation, stabilize the economy, and promote growth. 2-Inflation: Inflation refers to the general increase in prices of goods and services over time. When inflation is high, lenders demand higher interest rates to compensate for the eroding purchasing power of money. Central banks often raise interest rates to curb inflation and vice versa. 3-Economic Growth: Interest rates tend to be influenced by

TRADING WEAKNESSES

  1.EMOTIONS : The good news here is that with more experience you will get better at managing your emotions, the bad news is that you will never get to a level where you just don't feel anything and trade like a robot. For example, Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire macro trader, once got hurt badly because he FOMO()ed into the dot.com bubble even if he had 30 years of experience. The way I fixed this, is by having a macro fundamental approach to my trades. I started as a pure technician, but luckily I found out early that it's just not enough. When you know why something should go one way or the other, you will have less emotional pressure. Your emotions are generally impacted because you don't know WHY you're in a trade and especially because you may have never had a positive year. 2.ENTRIES :  This is another weakness I fixed with a macro approach. I recently made a post on timing the market with fundamental catalysts. I just find it easier to enter the market in

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE IN STOCK MARKET CHART ANALYSIS.

  WHAT IS SUPPORT?  • Support is something that prevents the price from falling further.  • The support level is a price point on the chart where the trader expects maximum demand in terms of buying) coming into the stock/index. Whenever the price falls to the support line, it is likely to bounce back. The support level is always below the current market price. • Support levels can be visualized using different technical indicators or simply by drawing a line connecting the lowest lows for the period. The rationale is that as the price drops and approaches support, buyers (demand) become more inclined to buy and sellers (supply) become less willing to sell. WHAT IS RESISTANCE ?  • The very term resistance in the stock market; suggests something of a kind of a barrier.  • Resistance is the price level wherethe probability of the price moving above the level is much lower than the probability of the stock meets a price barrier and falling lower.  • Resistance is one of the criticaltechni

FIBONACCI NUMBERS

  FIBONACCI NUMBERS There is a special ratio that can be used to describe the proportions of everything from natures smallest building blocks such as atoms to the most advanced patterns in the universe. Financial markets also conform to this Golden Ratio. A Fibonacci sequence is derived by simply adding two preceding terms. (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.....) The important point in this is that the ratio of one to the next is roughly 1.618 and the inverse is 0.618. Everything in nature adheres to this ratio, including dividing our height from our head to our toes by the distance from our belly button to our toes we get 1,618.
