Pic.1 - Double Root As a rule, the classic  double bottom  formation occurs when the counter-trend movement begins on the market, even if it is too small. In the development of the downward trend, we can see a lot of figures on the graph which are somewhat similar to the  double bottom  formation, but in order to turn it into the above pattern, it is necessary that the line from the second footstep to cross the resistance line from the bottom and the figure will be shown in the w.

Stock ribbon (Times & Sales) and effective trade exchange The stock ribbon  is a great help to the traders in trading, although many think that it is almost impossible to read the stock ribbon and the DOM (Depth Market Market) after a wide arrangement of the HFT algorithms on the market.  But the fact is that most of the successful traders have the art of reading the stock tape. According to some traders, the graphs are a history because they are created in the stock line and the flow of incoming traffic in the DOM. The graphs cannot exist without the stock ribbon , but the stock tape will always exist without graphs.

Trend Movement direction: The direction of trend movement and most importantly its early identification is often the dream of many traders. But let's see if it is so difficult to catch the moment when the trend is changing which will allow us to open a new trend in the beginning and get a bigger profit from the dealings. The answer to the question of what could be regarded as a change in direction of the trend movement in the late 19th century by Charles Dow, considered to be one of the founders of modern technical analysis. In his postulates, we read that "the upward trend, every subsequent peak, and every subsequent fall is higher than the predecessor. In the downward trend, every subsequent peak and every subsequent drop is lower than the predecessor.

For example, if the profit from each deal amounted to 10 pips, while the loss of trade in the case of item 50, we get the following picture: Earnings: 8 * 10 = 80 pips; Losses: 2 * 50 = 100 pi...
