*Net profit = Revenue - Cost of goods - Operating Cost - Other Expenses - Interest - Taxes

Hammer Candlestick Pattern

A Hammer Candlestick pattern occurs when a stock, commodity, or currency opens much lower than its previous closing price but moves close to or above the the same price at the close. The pattern looks like a hammer, hence the name “Hammer Candlestick”.

The candlestick can be read as follows:

  • The main body shows the difference between the financial security’s opening and closing price.
  • The wick (shadow) of the candlestick shows the high and low prices of the security for the day.

Commodity Futures

A commodity futures is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an underlying commodity like gold, silver, corn, and others are a pre-determined price and date.

A commodity futures contract is an obligation that’s entered into not just by retail traders but also companies who want to lock in a favorable price. This is the place to understand all about futures contracts in trading.

IPO

An IPO or Initial Public Offering is the method in which a privately held company becomes a publicly listed company. Existing shareholders must approve the IPO plan before the company can go public. Once shareholders approve, the company will either hire an intermediary or go for a Direct Public Offering, the result of which will be the determination of a price for the new equity shares that will be listed in the primary market.

Ichimoku Cloud

Ichimoku Cloud is a group of technical indicators that’s used to understand trends, momentum, support, and resistance by calculating averages. Furthermore, the Ichimoku Cloud indicator is made up of two components:


  • TenkanSen: The short-term indicator
  • KijunSen: The long-term indicator

There’s a cloud that’s formed as a result of plotting the averages and using the components on a chart. One glance at this cloud can tell you multiple things like:


  • Uptrend: If the price is above the cloud
  • Downtrend: If the price is below the cloud
  • Neutral: If the price is in the cloud

Moreover, if the cloud and the price are moving in the same direction, there’s much more confidence in the trend that’s forming. In fact, it’s a trading signal.

Arbitrage

Arbitrage is a strategy where a security is bought in one market and sold in another market to generate profits due to the difference in price. This difference is known to be minor.

Say for example a share trades at Rs. 1000 on NSE and Rs. 1002 on BSE. The share can be arbitraged by buying it on BSE and selling it on BSE for a profit of Rs. 2.
