We recommend reading this chapter on Varsity to learn more and understand the concepts in-depth.


Key takeaways from this chapter

  1. Conventional charts can’t be used for TA as we must plot 4 data points simultaneously.
  2. A line chart can be used to interpret trends only. 
  3. Bar charts are unpopular as they’re unappealing, and patterns aren’t easily identifiable.  
  4. Candlesticks Types – Bullish & Bearish. The structure of the candlestick, however, is unchanged.
  5. Close > open = Bullish candle. Close < open =  Bearish candle.
  6. Time frames are crucial in defining trading success. 
  7. The number of candles grows as the frequency rises.
  8. Traders should discard noise from relevant information.

    What does the last point in takeaways ” Traders should discard noise from relevant information.” mean?

    • Karthik Rangappa says:

      For example, a 1-minute chart generates 1000s of candles, which may not have useful information. You can discard that and use 15 mins or maybe even end-of-day charts.

    What does the 2nd last point in key takeaways(“The number of candles grow as the frequency rises”) mean?

    • Karthik Rangappa says:

      Higher the frequency, the higher the number of candles.
      For example, for 17th Jan 2023, on an end-of-day basis, there is only one candle, but if you look at 10 mins intraday chart of 17th Jan, you will find many candles.
