CUP AND HANDLE

 

The cup and handle formation (also called the cup with handle formation) is a bullish chart pattern that is defined by a chart where a stock drops in value, then rises back up to the original value, then drops a small amount in value, and then rises a small amount in value.

The cup and handle formation (also called the cup with handle formation) is a bullish chart pattern that is defined by a chart where a stock drops in value, then rises back up to the original value, then drops a small amount in value, and then rises a small amount in value.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CUP AND HANDLES 

1.) BULLISH

2.)BEARISH

 Important characteristics

• Trend: A cup and handle formation should follow an increase trend, ideally one that is only a few months old. The older the increase trend, the less likely it is that the cup and handle will be an accurate indicator.

• Shape: In a cup and handle formation, the cup must always precede the handle. The cup should form a rounded bowl shape, with an obvious bottom. A V-shaped bowl is said to be avoided. The cup should be fairly shallow, and ideally should retrace about 30% to 50% of the previous increase.  The perfect pattern would have equal highs on either side of the cup, but this is not always the case.

• Duration: The cup should last 1 to 6 months, while the handle should only last for 1 to 4 weeks. These are only approximate values, however; a cup may last anywhere from a few weeks to a few years.

• Volume: The volume of the stock should decrease along with the price during the cup and should increase rapidly near the end of the handle when the price begins to rise.

 Significance for traders

 A cup and handle formation is considered to be a bullish signal, and is usually followed by a sharp rise in value. A rather accurate estimation of the expected price rise is found by measuring the price rise from the bottom of the cup to the right side. The reason for a price rise following a cup and handle formation is largely unknown. Likely because many traders know about this signal and buy when they see it forming thus artificially creating the bullish uptrend.

OPTION STRATEGIES

OPTION STRATEGIES Options allow the investor to sculpt the returns in their portfolio. When you buy a stock and the price rises $1, you make $1. You lose $1 if the price declines $1. Your profits are linear and directly related to only the change in the price of the stock. Interest and dividends will make a slight change to the outcome though these factors are also linear. Options blow apart this linearity. Options are called convex instruments because the returns are not linear but curved. We saw that in the previous chapters. You can literally create millions of possible returns through the use of options. You can mix and match options to create just about any return possible.   Selecting a strategy is a multi step process. You should go through a systematic process before initiating a trade. Each step should lead to further refinement of the strategy. It can be very dangerous to your bank account to disregard some or all of the major factors that affect options prices.

FLAG AND PENNANT PATTERN The flag and pennant patterns are commonly found patterns in the price charts of financially traded assets stocks, bonds, futures, etc. The patterns are characterized by a clear direction of the price trend, followed by a consolidation and range bound movement, which is then followed by a resumption of the trend.The continuation patterns which we have taken up so far in this Study  the various types of Triangles and the Rectangle have one    FLAG  PATTERN     The flag pattern is encompassed by two parallel lines. These lines can be either flat or pointed in the opposite direction of the primary market trend. The pole is then formed by a line which represents the primary trend in the market. The pattern is seen as the market potentially just taking a “breather” after a big move before continuing its primary trend. The chart below illustrates.Thus, the first requirement of the Flag formation is a nearly vertical price movement on th
