Trendline
Definition of Trendline
A trendline is a straight line drawn on a price chart to indicate the direction of a market trend. It connects a series of higher lows in an uptrend or lower highs in a downtrend. Trendlines help identify support and resistance levels, assess trend strength, and anticipate potential breakouts or reversals.

Dividend Stripping
Dividend stripping is a strategy of buying a company’s stock days before it announces a dividend and then selling the same stock at a lower price once the current holder is entitled to get the dividend previously announced.
The resulting loss in capital gains is generally offset by the profits from dividends. Dividend stripping was once non-taxable, which made the strategy lucrative for smart investors. However, dividends in India are now subject to tax.

Anaume Pattern
An Anaume Pattern can be seen when a gap is filled after a change in the direction of a security or market’s price.
Anaume Patterns are gap-filling patterns that can signal the reversal of a bearish trend, which is nothing but a potential onset of a bullish trend, when used in conjunction with other patterns.
Anaume Patterns are also known as exception exhaustion patterns.

Grey Market
The grey market is an unofficial yet legal marketplace where unlisted or soon-to-be-listed securities are traded.
By definition, the grey market is an over-the-counter market because of the lack of regulation and structure.
Underwriters of an IPO gauge market demand for a share by analyzing the grey market premium for it before going public.

Swap
A swap is a financial agreement between two parties. They exchange cash flows or liabilities, mostly to manage risk. Common examples of swaps include currency swaps or interest rate swaps. For instance, one party may swap a fixed interest payment for a floating one to hedge against changes in interest rates. A swap helps both parties involved manage exposure and optimize financing costs.
Risk-Free Rate of Return
The Risk-Free Rate of Return is the return an investor can expect with almost no risk. Usually, such returns come from government securities like Treasury bills. These assets come with minimal risk of defaulting. The risk-free rate of return serves as a standard based on which other investments are evaluated. Any additional return expected is the compensation for taking additional risk.
Program Trading
Program trading, which is frequently linked with algorithmic trading, is the use of computer algorithms for automatically generating and executing orders in large volumes based on predetermined sets of rules, such as price or timing conditions. It is the buying or selling of a basket of stocks at the same time. Program trading has significantly increased the speed and volume of market transactions and is commonly employed in arbitrage, index arbitrage, and portfolio insurance strategies.
