The VIX at 50 and Using Custom Trend Line TextThis chart shows the VIX since 2018. Between now and then, two significant moves have occurred. In both instances, the VIX went as high as 50 before topping out and then dropping back down. Will that happen again today? What's also cool about this chart is we're demonstrating our new Custom Text for Trend Line tool. You can now draw any line on your chart and then easily add text alongside that line. The line can go sideways, up, down or at an angle and the text will follow it. To try it for yourself, open a chart and follow these steps: 1. Open your line Settings by double-clicking on the line or right-clicking and going to Settings. 2. Check the Show Text box and then type anything you want. 3. Adjust the alignment of the text of your choice. You can read more here on the official TradingView blog: www.tradingview.com Let us know if you have any questions or want to chime in on your thoughts about the VIX today.

How to Use the Baseline ChartThe chart we made today shows the price of gold as a Baseline chart. The Baseline chart shows price movements relative to a baseline that you choose anywhere from 0% (the lowest point) to 100% (the highest point). This chart shows gold since the last 1970s with a Baseline of 50%. Why is this interesting? The chart can show you if an asset is above or below a specific baseline over any period of time. For gold, we see it is well above its average price (50% baseline) and it's been trading above that average level for years (the line turns green when an asset is above the baseline level and red when it is below). To start using the Baseline chart, follow these simple steps: Step 1 - Change your chart layout to Baseline. Press the Chart Style button at the top of your chart and select Baseline in the drop down. Step 2 - Go to your chart Settings by right clicking or double tapping on the chart line. Step 3 - In your chart settings, find and adjust your Base Level to a percentage you want to see. This can be anywhere from 0% to 50%. We hope you enjoyed this chart and how to use the Baseline chart to follow any asset. Please press Like if you enjoyed this tutorial or write a comment below.

Looking at short interest of some US stocks [Crowded Shorts]Hello, I have to look at some details on a FX strategy and it is alot of mental effort, therefore here I am looking at high short interest on stocks that I do not even trade :) Let's look together at the most shorted stocks in the USA. What I think happens in Wall Street is every one copies every one. If a fund misses out on something that every one else has been doing, their clients will be unhappy. If a fund loses money but every one else did too "it was a hard year so it's normal. "We didn't do worse than the competition" and clients stay with them rather than look for another 2/20. I would classify groups of market participants in such a way: - sovereign funds - pensions etc - hedge funds - biggest fund in the world: japan families/housewives (they are all bound to the same laws and fundamentals, they are half the reason why crypto went up I think, the other half being USDT) - noob retail (represented via what robinhood users are doing) - banks but not that much - warren buffet - entire community positions (short interest for example) - twitter, wallstreetbets, other social networks? First, by dollar volume: Looking at the 2 other companies in the top 5 by % shares shorted that I didn't look at already (the 3 were match tdoc mdco): What are all these countertrend warriors? GM has an mcap of 50 billion (mdco is only 6 bil big for example), not in an uptrend, and it is not even in the top 150 most shorted stocks... GE: 100 billion market cap. Not in the top 150! What can more easilly shoot up 200%? A little scooter mcap of 5 billion, or a giant cruiser ship of 100 billion? It's not like they have 0 trading volume... I heard in the media that wall st shorting stocks was a bearish sign but I'd rather not listen to these clowns. Maybe it was far in the past. Maybe in some cases. Not when the whole herd does the same thing. In the top 150 most shorted stocks I look at the ones with the lowest float % shorted: Netflix already done, trending down Charter com already done, going up That's only a few examples, it would require way more study. But looks like the very shorted ones are bad to short, just the herd brainlessly piling up, under 10% seem fine. First impressions are that stocks shorted 5-9% might be a sign something is up, or at least it is not a reason NOT to short. But these > 20% like Tesla are just too much. Shorting > 30% is just asking for huge short squeeze candles and as well as gaps up. And using options won't solve the issue of the price going up and it being a loser just because everyone else is getting margin called. First impression was probably correct. The herd is brainlessly doing what others are doing. Trading as a individual competing with huge companies super computers etc is not that hard really, how obvious can it be to not short crowded shorts? It's really easy, ye 95+% fail, they're all just either irrational, braindead, or don't put in the thousands of hours required. Duh! What? You need over 10,000 hours of learning & experience to get anywhere (or at the bare min 5k for a +1 std dev IQ)? NO WAY! Wow this is so hard. You actually have to spend some time actively getting good like with anything else even video games? Impossible! Every one wants to be a countertrend trader smh. Not just countertrend, ALL TIME HIGH & 25% of all shares sold short countertrend trader. So stupid. There's no excuse. It is stupid.

Quickly Measure Time & Change (Hold Shift + Click the Chart)This chart shows the price of Crude Oil (CL1!) over the last few years. It is a daily chart and we're going to use it as an example to show you how to quickly measure the time and price change of any asset. Today, major news came out of the Middle East about a conflict that involves the US, Iran, and Iraq. The news had oil spiking higher. However, when you zoom out, you can see a much bigger move has already been in motion since crude oil bottomed in late 2018. Since that day, more than 375 days ago, crude oil is up 48%. Measuring the distance and change of an asset is easy. Press and hold "Shift" on your keyboard and click on the chart. This measurement tool will show you price change, percentage change, total bars, and time. Follow these steps: Step 1 - Open a chart for an asset you're interested in. Step 2 - Hold "Shift" and click on the chart from where you want to measure. Step 3 - Drag your measurement point to any distance you need. We hope you enjoyed this chart and quick tip.

Central bank calendar for 2020Here are the important dates. * The small red lines are supposed to indicate the EUR & USA central bank meeting dates. Looks like February might be dead, with maybe a bit going on in Oceania. May calm, maybe some UK & Oceania going on just like the end of 2019, August dead but who cares, and the rest of the year interesting especially June so just like 2019 maybe. I have some things on the radar for January already. I am planning my year around this calendar. Also let's not forget the 2020 election too, this might be the most important date. For stocks & indices of course but even for those that don't trade those or don't trade them much (like me). Going to be an interesting year... In the world of Currencies Gold Metals Energy which is what I do, also what will happen with the climate change hysteria is going to be interesting. There's a large part of the population that think the world is going to end so what will they do? They will impact politics and the economy. 10% of israel population are in a sect branch of judaism and the government does some of the thing they want, muslims... well I don't even need to explain that... 10% are salafists which is the world most powerful "cult" or "sect" with a huge impact, and in Eu & Na I guess the number is the same? 10% are deathly afraid of CO2? They will have some impact and this will definitely drive the price of Oil NatGas Copper Nickel which I have in my watchlist, as well as have some impact obviously on the economy. And will socialism grow? Or fade out? I myself guess it will die out just like in the UK... Seriously, germans voted for Hitler but they were starving. EU & NA populations are not starving so why would they go full insane. East europe went full insane but that was their revolution, they overreacted as usual. France had their revolution in 1789 and it was followed by a period of terror, then Napoleon, then changing governments... Took what like a century to go to a clean democracy? Soviets had socialism with going back and forth between capitalism and full communism from 1920 to 1990, nothing surprising there. I doubt they will go back. What people call "capitalism" is just the natural order of things. Like it or not everything has a price and a reward. Nothing gets magically created. Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed. Well, going to be a fun year. I probably won't post much about stock indices, I am just perma long till the Dow gets to ~33k, I won't post much about Bitcoin it is so boring, there is the halving and also now is when satoshi gets his coins? Might be interesting actually. Just going to focus on USD EUR GBP CAD AUD NZD SEK JPY CHF GOLD NATGAS USOIL COPPER NICKEL.
