“I haven’t seen much correlation between good trading & intelligence. Some outstanding traders are quite intelligent, but a few aren’t. Many outstanding intelligent ppl are horrible traders. Avg intelligence is enough. Beyond that, emotional makeup is more important"-Mark Douglas— Third Eye View (@BrainandMoney) July 8, 2019

Market Wizard Linda Raschke’s Technical Trading Rules
- Buy the first pullback after a new high. Sell the first rally after a new low.
- Afternoon strength or weakness should have follow through the next day.
- The best trading reversals occur in the morning, not the afternoon.
- The larger the market gaps, the greater the odds of continuation and a trend.
- The way the market trades around the previous day’s high or low is a good indicator of the market’s technical strength or weakness.
- The previous day’s high and low are two very important “pivot” points, for this was the definitive point where buyers or sellers came in the day before. Look for the market to either test and reverse off these points, or push through and show signs of continuation.
- The last hour often tells the truth about how strong a trend truly is. “Smart” money shows their hand in the last hour, continuing to mark positions in their favor. As long as a market is having consecutive strong closes, look for up-trend to continue. The up trend is most likely to end when there is a morning rally first, followed by a weak close.
- High volume on the close implies continuation the next morning in the direction of the last half-hour. In a strongly trending market, look for resumption of the trend in the last hour.
- The first hour’s range establishes the framework for the rest of the trading day.
- A greater percentage of the day’s range occurs in the first hour then was the case in the past, and thus it has become increasingly important to trade aggressively if there are early signs of a strong trend for the day.
- In the world of money, which is a world shaped by human behavior, nobody has the foggiest notion of what will happen in the future. Mark that word – Nobody! Thus the successful trader does not base moves on what supposedly will happen but reacts instead to what does happen.

Market outlook + Budget day analysis
Daily charts:
- today was budget day
- typically these days one sees a lot of volatility
- right enough, markets opened flat but lost 180 points intraday
- (adjusted) close was however 1.1% in negative at 11811
- AD was 5:13
- the level of 11800 is important as it has offered support in the past
- today was also the last day of the week
- and the 5th week when nifty attempted to close above 12000 but could not
- so 12000 becomes a very important swing level
- note today's red bar was the biggest this week and "engulfed" prev 4 day gains
- this means there is a high chance of trend changing to down
- but as markets are rangebound, I will wait for close below 11600
- unless a higher swing low forms
- hourly charts will give signal first for trend reversal
- surprise - vix down actually down 4% so no fear?
