 INTRODUCTION

Design patterns are reusable model for solving known and common
problems in software architecture.
hey are best described as templates for working with a specific normal
T situation. An architect can have a template for designing certain types of
door frames, which he fit into many of his project, and a software
engineer or software architect must know the templates for solving common
programming tasks.
An excellent presentation of the design pattern should include:

Name
Motivating problem
Decision
Effects

Equivalent Problems
If you thought it was a rather vague concept, you would be right. For
example, we could say that the following “pattern” solves all your problems:

Gather and prepare the necessary data and other resources

Make the necessary calculations and do the necessary work
Make logs of what you do
Free all resources
???
Profit
This is an example of too abstract thinking. You cannot call it a template
because it is not an excellent model to solve any problem, even though it is
technically applicable to any of them (including cooking dinner).
On the other hand, you may have solutions that are too specific to be
called a template. For example, you may wonder if QuickSort is a template to
solve the sorting problem.
This is, of course, a common program problems, and QuickSort is a good
solutions for it. However, it can be applieds to any sorting problem with
virtually no change.
Once you have this in the library and you can call it, your only real job is
to make somehow your object comparable, and you don't have to deal with its
entity yourself to change it to fit your specific problem.
Equivalent problems lie somewhere between these concepts. These are
different problems that are similar enough that you can apply the same model
to them, but are different enough that this model is significantly customized
to be applicable in each case.
Patterns that can be applied to these kinds of problems are what we can
meaningfully call design patterns.
Why use design patterns?
You are probably familiar with some design patterns through code writing
practice. Many good programmers end up gravitating towards them, not even
being explicitly trained, or they simply take them from their seniors along the
way.
The motivation to create, learn, and use design patterns has many
meanings. This is a way to name complex abstract concepts to provide
discussion and learning.
They make communication within the team faster because someone can
simply use the template name instead of calling the board. They allow you to
learn from the experiences of people who were before you, and not to
reinvent the wheel, going through the whole crucible of gradually improving
practices on your own (and constantly cringing from your old code).
Bad decisions that are usually made up because they seem logical at first
glance are often called anti-patterns. For something to be rightly called an
anti-pattern, it must be reinvented, and for the same problem, there must be a
pattern that solves it better.
Despite the apparent usefulness in this practice, designing patterns are also
use ful for learning. They introduce you to many problems that you may not
have considered and allow you to think about scenarios with which you may
not have had hands-on experience.
They are mandatory for training for all, and they are an excellent learning
resources for all aspiring architect and developing who may be at the
beginning of their careers and who have no direct experience in dealing with
the various problems that the industry provides.
Python Design Patterns
Traditionally, design models have been divided into three main categories:
creative, structural, and behavioral. There are other categories, such as
architectural patterns or concurrency patterns, but they are beyond the scope
of this article.
There are also Python-specific design patterns that are created specifically
around problems that the language structure itself provides, or that solve
problems in unique ways that are only resolved due to the language structure.
Generating Patterns deal with creating classes or objects. They serve to
abstract the specifics of classes, so that we are less dependent on their exact
implementation, or that we do not have to deal with complex constructions
whenever we need them, or that we provide some special properties of the
instantiation. They are very useful for reducing dependency and controlling
how the user interacts with our classes.
Structural patterns deal with assembling objects and classes into larger
structures while keeping these structures flexible and efficient. They, as a
rule, are really useful for improving the readability and maintainability of the
code, ensuring the correct separation of functionality, encapsulation, and the
presence of effective minimal interfaces between interdependent things.
Behavioral patterns deal with algorithms in general and the distribution of
responsibility between interacting objects. For example, they are good
practice when you may be tempted to implement a naive solution, such as
busy waiting, or load your classes with unnecessary code for one specific
purpose, which is not the core of their functionality.

 Type Annotation in Python
First, let's answer the question: why do we need annotations in Python? In
short, the answer will be this: to increase the information content of the
source code and to be able to analyze it using specialized tools. One of the
most popular, in this sense, is the control of variable types. Even though
Python is a language with dynamic typing, sometimes there is a need for type
control.
According to PEP 3107, there may be the following annotation use cases:

type checking:
expansion of the IDE functionality in terms of providing information
about the expected types of arguments and the type of return value
for functions:
overload of functions and work with generics:
interaction with other languages:
use in predicate logical functions:
mapping of requests in databases:
marshaling parameters in RPC (remote procedure call)

Using annotations in functions

In functions, we can annotate arguments and the return value.
It may look like this:
def repeater (s: str, n: int) -> str:
return s * n
An annotation for an argument is defined after the colon after its name:
argument_name: annotation
An annotation that determines the type of the value returned by the
function is indicated after its name using the characters ->
def function_name () -> type
Annotations are not supported for lambda functions
Access to function annotations Access to the annotations
Used in the function can be obtained through the annotations attribute, in
which annotations are presented in the form of a dictionary, where the keys
are attributes, and the values are annotations. The main value to returned by
the function is stored in the record with the return key.
Contents of repeater . annotations :
{'n': int, 'return': str, 's': str}
4 programming languages to learn, even if you are a humanist
The digital age dictates its own rules. Now, knowledge of programming
languages is moving from the category of “too highly specialized skill” to
must have for a successful career. We have compiled for you the four most
useful programming languages that will help you become a truly effective
specialist.
1. Vba
If you constantly work in Excel and spend time on the same routine
operations every day, you should consider automating them. Macros - queries
in the VBA language built into Excel will help you with this. Having
mastered macros, you can not only save time, but also free up time for more
interesting tasks (for example, to write new macros). By the way, to automate
some operations, learning VBA is not necessary - just record a few actions
using the macro recorder , and you can repeat them from time to time. But
it’s better to learn this language: macro recordings will give you only limited
functionality.
Despite its attractiveness, macros have two drawbacks. Firstly, since a
macro automatically does all the actions that you would do with your hands,
it seriously loads RAM (for example, if you have 50,000 lines in a document,
your poor computer may not withstand macro attacks). The second - VBA as
a programming language is not very intuitive, and it can be difficult for a
beginner to learn it from scratch.
2. SQL
In order to combine data from different databases, you can use the
formulas VPR and INDEX (SEARCH). But what if you have ten different
databases with 50 columns of 10,000 rows each? Chances are good to make a
mistake and spend too much time.
Therefore, it is better to use the Access program. Like VPR, it is designed
to combine data from various databases, but it does it much faster. Access
automates this function, as well as quickly filters information and allows you
to work in a team. In addition to Access, there are other programs for
working with databases (DBMS), in most of which you can work using a
simple programming language - SQL (Structured Query Language).
Knowledge of SQL is one of the basic requirements for business analysts
along with knowledge of Excel, so we advise you to take a closer look if you
want to work in this area.
3. R
R is a good alternative to VBA if you want to make data processing easier.
How is he good? Firstly, unlike a fellow, it is really simple and
understandable even for those who have never had anything to do with
programming in their life. Secondly, R is designed to work with databases
and has wide functionality: it can change the structure of a document, collect
data from the Internet, process statistically different types of information,
build graphs, create tag clouds, etc. To work with Excel files, you will have
to download special libraries, but it is most convenient to save tables from
Excel in csv format and work in them. By the way, it is R that the program
was written with which we make TeamRoulette in our championships.
Thanks to her, we manage to scatter people on teams in five minutes instead
of two hours.
To learn how to work in R, first of all, download a visual and intuitive
programming environment - RStudio .

4. Python
Python is an even more powerful and popular programming language (by
the way, it really has nothing to do with python ). Like R, Python has special
libraries that work with Excel files, and it also knows how to collect
information from the Internet (forget about manually driving data into
tables!). You can write endlessly about Python, but if in a nutshell - it’s a
really convenient and quick tool that is worth mastering if you want to
automate routine operations, develop your own algorithmic thinking and
generally keep up with technical progress.
Unlike R, Python does not have one of the most convenient programming
environments - here everyone is free to choose to taste. For example, we
recommend IDLE, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, for more advanced
programmers - PyCharm.
You can learn how to program in Python and analyze data using it in our
online course “Python. Data Analysis " . The consultants from Big4 and Big3
will tell you how to work with libraries, create programs and algorithms for
processing information.
Well, as it were, let's go
Well, if you (You, He, She, It, They) are reading this means we are
starting our first Python lesson. Hooray (...) Today you will learn how to
code. And what's more, you'll learn how to code in Python.
But to start coding you need Python. Where to get it?

Where to get Python?

But you think that now you can just sit down and cod. Well actually yes.
BUT usually real hackers and programmers code in code editors. For
working with Python We (I) recommend using a Jupyter Notebook or
JupyterLab or Visual Studio Code. We (I) Will code in Visual Studio Code,
but the other editors are no different.
Well, it's CODING time.
I'm too old for that
Everyone always writes the first code that displays “Hello World”. Well,
are we some kind of gifted? No, and therefore we will begin with this. In
Python, the print () function is used to output text. To output “Hello World”
we need to write the following:

It's alife
Yes, you just wrote your first program. Now you are a programmer (NO).
Let's look at the structure of the print function. This function consists of
the name - print, and the place where we throw what this function should
output. If you want to display any text, you need to write it in quotation mark,
either in single or double.
But now let's enter some text. For this, Python has an input function. To
accept something, you need to write the following:

What does this program do for us? First we introduce some thing, at the
moment we don’t care what it is, text or numbers. After, our program
displays what you wrote.
But how to make sure that we write the text before entering some thing?
Really simple. There are two ways to do this.

How can, but not necessary

If you run the second program you will notice that you have to enter data
in the same line in which the text is written.

How to do
But this is not aesthetically pleasing. We are here with you all the
aesthetes. And so in order for you to enter values on a separate line, you can
do the following:
 Like cool, but why?
As we can see, \ n appeared at the end. This is a control character that
indicates the passage to the next line. But it’s too lazy for me to write it down
every time, and therefore I prefer to type everything in the line where the text
is written.
But where to apply it? Very simple, you can take math. There are some
simple arithmetic operations in Python that I will tell you about now.
Python has the following arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, integer division, exponentiation, and the remainder
of division. As everything is recorded, you can see below:

I will finally learn how to multiply

If you want to immediately print the result, then you just need to write an
arithmetic operation in print:

The result of this program will be 8

But how do we carry out operations with numbers that the user enters? We
need to use input. But by default in Python, the values that input passes are a
string. And most arithmetic operations cannot be performed on a line. In
order for our program to work as we intended, we need to specify what type
of value Python should use.
To do this, we use the int function:
 We add up the two numbers that the user enters. (Wow, I found out how
much 2 + 2 will be)

Built-in Data Structures

Python's built-in data structures, such as set and dict, are written in C.
They work much faster than your own data structures composed as Python
classes. Other data structures besides the standard set, dict, list, and tuple are
described in the collections module documentation.
List expressions
Instead of adding items to the list using the standard method, use list
expressions.
 ctypes
The ctypes module allows you to interact with C code from Python
without using a module subprocessor another similar module to start other
processes from the CLI.
There are only two parts: compiling C code to load in quality shared object
and setting up data structures in Python code to map them to C types.
In this article, I will combine my Python code with LCS.c, which finds the
longest subsequence in two-line lists. I want the following to work in Python:

One problem is that this particular C function is the signature of a function

that takes lists of strings as argument types and returns a type that does not
have a fixed length. I solve this problem with a sequence structure containing
pointers and lengths.
Compiling C code in Python
First, C source code ( lcs.c ) is compiled in lcs.soto load in Python.

Wall will display all warnings:

Werror will wrap all warnings in errors:
 fpic will generate position-independent instructions that you
will need if you want to use this library in Python:
O3 maximizes optimization:
And now we will begin to write Python code using the resulting shared
object file .
Structures in Python
Below are two data structures that are used in my C code.

And here is the translation of these structures into Python.

A few notes:

All structures are classes that inherit from ctypes.Structure.

The only field _fields_is a list of tuples. Each tuple is (
<variable-name>, <ctypes.TYPE>).
There ctypesare similar types in c_char (char) and c_char_p (*
char) .
There is ctypesalso one POINTER()that creates a type pointer
from each type passed to it.
If you have a recursive definition like in CELL, you must pass
the initial declaration, and then add the fields _fields_in order to
get a link to yourself later.
Since I did not use CELLPython in my code, I did not need to
write this structure, but it has an interesting property in the
recursive field.

Call your code in C

In addition, I needed some code to convert Python types to new structures
in C. Now you can use your new C function to speed up Python code.
A few notes:

**char (list of strings) matches directly to a list of bytes in Python.

There lcs.cis a function lcs()with the signature struct Sequence *
lcs (struct Sequence * s1, struct Sequence
s2) . To set up the return type, I use lcsmodule.lcs.restype =
ctypes.POINTER(SEQUENCE).
To make a call with a reference to the Sequence structure , I use
ctypes.byref()one that returns a “light pointer” to your object
(faster than ctypes.POINTER()).
common.items- this is a list of bytes, they can be decoded to get
retin the form of a list str.
lcsmodule.freeSequence (common) just frees the memory
associated with common. This is important because the garbage
collector (AFAIK) will not automatically collect it.
Optimized Python code is code that you wrote in C and wrapped in
Python.
Something More: PyPy
Attention: I myself have never used PyPy.
One of the simplest optimizations is to run your programs in the PyPy
runtime, which contains a JIT compiler (just- in-time) that speeds up the
work of loops, compiling them into machine code for repeated execution.
 2. FINDING THE PERFECT TOOLKIT:
ANALYZING POPULAR PYTHON
PROJECT TEMPLATES

he materials, the translation of which we publish today, is dedicated to the

T story about the tools used to create Python applications. It is designed for
those programmers who have already left the category of beginners but
have not yet reached the category of experienced Python developers.
For those who can’t wait to start practice, the author suggests using
Flake8, pytest , and Sphinx in existing Python projects. He also recommends
a look at pre-commit, Black, and Pylint. Those who plan to start a new
project, he advises paying attention to Poetry and Dependable.
Overview
It has alway been difficult for me to form an objective opinion about the
“best practices” of Python development. In the world of technology, some
popular trends are continually emerging, often not existing for long. This
complicates the extraction of the “useful signal” from the information noise.
The freshest tools are often only good, so to speak, on paper. Can they
help the practical programmer with something? Or their application only
leads to the introduction of something new in the project, the performance of
which must be maintained, which carries more difficulties than benefits?
I didn’t have a clear understanding of what exactly I considered the "best
practices" of development. I suppose I found something useful, based mainly
on episodic evidence of "utility," and on the occasional mention of this in
conversations. I decided to put things in order in this matter. To do this, I
began to analyze all the templates of Python projects that I could find (we are
talking about templates used by the cookiecutter command-line utility to
create Python projects based on them).
It seemed to me that it was fascinating to learn about what auxiliary tools
the template authors consider worthy of getting these tools into new Python
projects created based on these templates.
 I analyzed and compared the 18 most popular template projects (from 76
to 6300 stars on GitHub), paying particular attention to what kind of auxiliary
tools they use. The results of this examination can be found in this table.
Below I want to share the main conclusions that I have made while
analyzing popular templates.
De facto standards
The tools discussed in this section are included in more than half of the
templates. This means that they are perceived as standard in a large number
of real Python projects.
Flake8
I have been using Flake8 for quite some time, but I did not know about the
dominant position in the field of linting that this tool occupies. I thought that
it exists in a kind of competition, but the vast majority of project templates
use it.
Yes, this is not surprising. It is difficult to oppose something to the
convenience of linting the entire code base of the project in a matter of
seconds. Those who want to use cutting-edge development can recommend a
look at us make- python-styleguide . This is something like "Flake8 on
steroids." This tool may well contribute to the transfer to the category of
obsolete other similar tools (like Pylint).
Pytest and coverage.py
The vast majority of templates use pytest . This reduces the use of the
standard unit test framework. Pytest looks even more attractive when
combined with tox. That's precisely what was done in about half of the
templates. Code coverage with tests is most often checked using coverage.py.
Sphinx
Most templates use Sphinx to generate documentation. To my surprise,
MkDocs is rarely used for this purpose.
As a result, we can say that if you do not use Flake8, pytest, and Sphinx in
your current project, then you should consider introducing them.
Promising tools
 In this section, I collected those tools and techniques, the use of which in
the templates suggested some trends. The point is that although all this does
not appear in most project templates, it is found in many relatively recent
templates. So - all this is worth paying attention to.
Pyproject.toml
File usage is pyproject.tomlsuggested in PEP 518. This is a modern
mechanism for specifying project assembly requirements. It is used in most
fairly young templates.
Poetry
Although the Python ecosystem isn’t doing well in terms of an excellent
tool for managing dependencies, I cautiously optimistic that Poetry could be
the equivalent of npm from the JavaScript world in the Python world.
The youngest (but popular) project templates seem to agree with this idea
of mine. Real, it is worth saying that if someone is working on some kind of
library that he can plan to distribute through PyPI, then he will still have to
use setup tools . (It should to be noted that after the publication of this
material, I was informed that this is no longer a problem).
Also, be careful if your project (the same applies to dependencies) relies
on Conda. In this case, Poetry will not suit you, since this tool, in its current
form, binds the developer to pip and virtualenv.
Dependabot
Dependabot regularly checks project dependencies for obsolescence and
tries to help the developer by automatically opening PR.
I have recently seen this tool more often than before. It seem like to me
that it is an excellent tool: the addition of which to the project affects the
project very positively. Dependabot helps reduce security risks by pushing
developers to keep dependencies up to date.
As a result, I advised you not to lose sight of Poetry and Dependabot.
Consider introducing these tools into your next project.
Personal recommendations
Analysis of project templates gave me a somewhat ambivalent perception
of the tools that I will list in this section. In any case, I want to use this
section to tell about them, based on my own experience. At one time, they
were beneficial to me.
Pre-commit
Even if you are incredibly disciplined - do not waste your energy on
performing simple routine actions such as additional code run through the
linter before sending the code to the repository. Similar tasks can be passed to
Pre- commit. And it's better to spend your energy on TDD and teamwork on
code.

Pylint
Although Pylint is criticized for being slow, although this tool is criticized
for the features of its settings, I can say that it allowed me to grow above
myself in the field of programming.
He gives me specific instructions on those parts of the code that I can
improve, tells me how to make the code better comply with the rules. For a
free tool, this alone is already very much. Therefore, I am ready to put up
with the inconvenience associated with Pylint.
Black
Black at the root of the debate over where to put spaces in the code. This
protects our teams from an empty talk and meaningless differences in files
caused by different editors' settings.
In my case, it brightens up what I don't like about Python (the need to use
a lot of spaces). Moreover, it should be noted that the Black project in 2019
joined the Python Software Foundation, which indicates the seriousness and
quality of this project.
As a result, I want to say that if you still do not use pre-commit, Black, and
Pylint - think about whether these tools can benefit your team.

Subtotals
Twelve of the eighteen investigated templates were created using the
cookiecutter framework. Some of those templates where this framework is
not used have exciting qualities.
But given the fact that cookiecutter is the leading framework for creating
project templates, those who decide to use a template that did not use a
cookiecutter should have excellent reasons for this. Such a decision should be
very well justified.
Those who are looking for a template for their project should choose a
template that most closely matches his view of things. If you, when creating
projects according to a precise template, continuously have to reconfigure
them in the same way, think about how to fork such a template and refine it,
inspired by examples of templates from my list.
And if you are attracted to adventure - create your template from scratch.
Cookiecutter is an excellent feature of the Python ecosystem, and the simple
process of creating Jinja templates allows you to quickly and easily do
something your own.
Bonus: Template Recommendations
Django
Together with the most popular Django templates, consider using we
make-django-template. It gives the impression of a deeply thought out
product.

Data Processing and Analysis

In most projects aimed at processing and analyzing data, the Cookiecutter
Data Science template is useful. However, data scientists should also look at
Kedro.
This template extends Cookiecutter Data Science with a mechanism for
creating standardized data processing pipelines. It supports loading and
saving data and models. These features are very likely to be able to find a
worthy application in your next project.
Here I would a also like to express my gratitude to the creators of the
shablona template for preparing very high- quality documentation. It can be
useful to you even if you end up choosing something else.
General Purpose Templates
 Which general-purpose template to choose in some way depends on what
exactly you are going to develop based on this template - a library or a
regular application. But I, selecting a similar template, along with the most
popular projects of this kind, would look very closely at Jace's Python
Template.
This is not a well-known pattern, but I like the fact that it has Poetry, isort ,
Black, pylint, and mypy .
PyScaffold is one of the most popular non-cookiecutter based templates. It
has many extensions (for example, for Django, and Data Science projects ). It
also downloads version numbers from GitHub using setuptools-scm. Further,
this is one of the few templates supporting Conda.
Here are a couple of templates that use GitHub Actions technology:

1. The Python Best Practices Cookiecutter template, which, I want

to note, has most of my favorite tools.
2. The Blueprint / Boilerplate For Python Projects template, which I
find pretty interesting, as the ability it gives them to find common
security problems with Bandit, looks promising. Also, this
template has a remarkable feature, which consists in the fact that
the settings of all tools are collected in a single file setup.cfg.
And finally - I recommend taking a look at we make-python-package
template. I think it’s worth doing it anyway. In particular, if you like the
Django template of the same developer, or if you are going to use the
advanced, we make- python-styleguide instead of pure Flake8.
 3. HOW ARE BROAD INTEGER TYPES
IMPLEMENTED IN PYTHON?

hen you write in a low-level language such as C, you are worried about
W choosing the right data type and qualifiers for your integers, at each
step, you analyze whether it will be enough to use it simply intor
whether you need to add longor even long double. However, when writing
code in Python, you don’t need to worry about these “minor” things, because
Python can work with numbers of integerany size type .

In C, if
you try to calculate 220,000 using the built-in function powl, you will get the
output inf.

But in
Python, making this easier than ever is easy:
It must be under the hood that Python is doing something very beautiful, and
today we will find out the exactly what it does to work with integers of
arbitrary size!
Presentation and Definition
Integer in Python, this is a C structure defined as follows:
Other types that have PyObject_VAR_HEAD:

PyBytesObject
PyTupleObject
PyListObject
This means that an integer, like a tuple or a list, has a variable length, and
this is the first step to understanding how Python can support work with giant
numbers. Once expanded, the macro _longobjectcan be considered as:

There PyObjectare some meta fields in the structure that are used for
reference counting (garbage collection), but to talk about this, we need a
separate article. The field on which we will focus this ob_digitand in a bit
ob_size.

Decoding ob_digit
ob_digitIs a statically allocated array of unit length of type digit (typedef
для uint32_t). Since this is an array, it ob_digitis a pointer primarily to a
number, and therefore, if necessary, it can be increased using the malloc
function to any length. This way, python can represent and process very large
numbers.
Typically, in low-level languages such as C, the precision of integers is
limited to 64 bits. However, Python supports integers of arbitrary precision.
Starting with Python 3, all numbers are presented in the form bignum and are
limited only by the available system memory.
 Decoding ob_size
ob_sizestores the number of items in ob_digit. Python overrides and then
uses the value ob_sizeto to determine the actual number of elements
contained in the array to increase the efficiency of allocating memory to the
array ob_digit.
Storage
The most naive way to store integer numbers is to store one decimal digit
in one element of the array. Operation such as additional and subtractions can
be performed according to the rules of mathematics from elementary school.
With this approach, the number 5238 will be saved like this:
This approach is inefficient because we will use up to 32-bit digits
(uint32_t) for storing a decimal digit, which ranges from 0 to 9 and can be
easily represented with only 4 bits. After all, when writing something as
universal like python, the kernel developer needs to be even more inventive.
So, can we do better? Of course, otherwise, we would not have posted this
article. Let's take a closer look at how Python stores an extra-long integer.
Python path
Instead of storing only one decimal digit in each element of the array
ob_digit, Python converts the numbers from the number system with base 10
to the numbers in the system with base 230 and calls each element as a
number whose value ranges from 0 to 230 - 1.
In the hexadecimal number system, the base 16 ~ 24 means that each
"digit" of the hexadecimal number ranges from 0 to 15 in the decimal number
system. In Python, it’s similar to a “number” with a base of 230, which
means that the number will range from 0 to 230 - 1 = 1073741823 in decimal.
In this way, Python effectively uses almost all of the allocated space of 32
bits per digit, saves resources, and still performs simple operations, such as
adding and subtracting at the math level of elementary school.
Depending on the platform, Python uses either 32-bit unsigned integer
arrays or 16-bit unsigned integer arrays with 15-bit digits. To perform the
operations that will be discussed later, you need only a few bits.
Example: 1152921504606846976
 As already mentioned, for Python, numbers are represented in a system
with a base of 230, that is, if you convert 1152921504606846976 into a
number system with a base of 230, you will get 100.
1152 9215 0460 6846 976 = 1 * ((230) 2 + 0) * ((230) 1 + 0) *( (230) 0)
Since it is the ob_digitfirst to store the least significant digit, it is stored as
001 in three digits. The structure _longobjectfor this value will contain:

ob_size like 3
ob_digit like [0, 0, 1]
We created a demo REPL that will show how Python stores an integer inside
itself, and also refers to structural members such as ob_size, ob_refcountetc.
Integer Long Operations
Now that we have a pure idea of how Python implements integers of
arbitrary precision, it is time to understand how various mathematical
operations are performed with them.
Addition
Integers are stored "in numbers," which means that addition is as simple as
in elementary school, and the Python source code shows us that this is how
addition is implemented. A function with a name x_addin a file
longobject.cadds two numbers.

The code snippet above is taken from a function x_add. As you can see, it
iterates over a number by numbers and performs the addition of numbers,
calculates the result and adds hyphenation.
It becomes more interesting when the result of addition is a negative
number. The sign ob_sizeis an integer sign, that is, if you have a negative
number, then it ob_sizewill be a minus. The value ob_sizemodulo will
determine the number of digits in ob_digit.
Subtraction
Just as addition takes place, subtraction also takes place. A function with a
name x_subin the file longobject.csubtracts one number from another.

The code snippet above is taken from a function x_sub. In it, you see how
the enumeration of numbers occurs and subtraction is performed, the result is
calculated and the transfer is distributed. Indeed, it is very similar to addition.
Multiplication
And again, the multiplication will be implemented in the same naive way
that we learned from the lessons of mathematics in elementary school, but it
is not very efficient. To maintain efficiency, Python implements the
Karatsuba algorithm , which multiplies two n-digit numbers in O (nlog23)
simple steps.
The algorithm is not simple and its implementation is beyond the scope of
this article, but you can find its implementation in functions and in the file
.k_mul k_lopsided_mullongobject.c
Division and other operations
All operations on integers are defined in the file longobject.c, they are very
simple to find and trace the work of each. Attention: A detailed
understanding of the work of each of them will take time, so pre-stock up
with popcorn .
Optimizing Frequently Used Integers
Python preallocates a small number of integers in memory ranging from -5
to 256. This allocation occurs during initialization, and since we cannot
change integers (immutability), these pre-allocated numbers are singleton and
are directly referenced instead of being allocated. This means that every time
we use / create a small number, Python instead of reallocation simply returns
a reference to the previously allocated number.
Such optimization can be traced in the macro IS_SMALL_INTand
function get_small_intc longobject.c. So Python saves a lot of space and time
in calculating commonly used integer numbers.
 4. CREATE A BOT IN PYTHON TO LEARN
ENGLISH

o, this is not one of the hundreds of articles on how to write your first
N Hello World bot in Python. Here you will not find detailed instructions
on how to get an API token in BotFather or launch a bot in the cloud. In
return, we will show you how to unleash the full power of Python to the
maximum to achieve the most aesthetic and beautiful
code. We perform a song about the appeal of complex structures - we
dance and dance. Under the cut asynchrony, its system of saves, a bunch of
useful decorators, and a lot of beautiful code.
Disclaimer: People with brain OOP and adherents of the “right” patterns
may ignore this article.
Idea
To understanding what it is like not to know English in modern society,
imagine that you are an 18th-century nobleman who does not know French.
Even if you are not very well versed in history, you can still imagine how
hard it would be to live under such circumstances. In the modern world,
English has become a necessity, not a privilege, especially if you are in the IT
industry.
The project is based on the catechism of the future: the development of a
neural network as a separate unit, and education, which is based on games
and sports spirit. Isomorphic paradigms have been hanging in the air since
ancient times, but it seems that over time, people began to forget that the
most straightforward solutions are the most effective.
Here is a shortlist of the basic things I want to put together:

Be able to work with three user dictionaries

Ability to parse youtube video/text, and then add new words to
the user's dictionary
Two basic skills training modes
 Flexible customization: full control over user dictionaries and
the environment in general
Built-in admin panel
Naturally, everything should work quickly, with the ability to easily
replenish existing functionality in the future. Putting it all together, I thought
that the best embodiment of my idea into reality would be a Telegram bot.
My tale is not about how to write handlers for the bot correctly - there are
dozens of such articles, and this is simple mechanical work. I want the reader
to learn to ignore the typical dogmas of programming. Use what is profitable
and effective here and now.
“I learned to let out the cries of unbelievers past my ears because it was
impossible to suppress them.”

Base structure
The bot will be based on the python-telegram-bot (ptb) library. I use
loguru as a logger , though there is one small snag here. The fact is that ptb
by default uses a different logger (standard logging) and does not allow you
to connect your own. Of course, it would be possible to intercept all journal
messages globally and send them to our registrar, but we will do it a little
easier:

Unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity to deploy my bot on stable

data centers, so data security is a priority. For these purposes, I implemented
my system of saves. It provides flexible and convenient work with data -
statistics collection, as an example of easy replenishment of functionality in
the future.

el se:
self._counter + = I
fil ename = self._cache_files [self._classes.index (cls)]
self.save (data. fil enam e = filename)

= For simplicit›', save_d1, save, load methods are omitted

Now we can create any methods that can modify data, without fear of
losing important data:

Now that we have figured out the basic structure, the main question
remains: how to put everything together. I implemented the main class -
EnglishBot, which brings together the entire primary structure: PTB, work
with the database, the save system, and which will manage the whole
business logic of the bot. If the implementation of Telegram commands were
simple, we could easily add them to the same class. But, unfortunately, their
organization occupies most of the code of the entire application, so adding
them to the same class would be crazy. I also did not want to create new
classes/subclasses, because I suggest using a very simple structure:

How command modules get access to the main class, we will consider
further.
All out of nothing
Ptb handlers have two arguments - update and context, which store all the
necessary information stack. Context has a wonderful chat_data argument
that can be used as a data storage dictionary for chat. But I do not want to
constantly refer to it in a format context.chat_data['data']. I would like
something light and beautiful, say context.data. However, this is not a
problem.
We continue to simplify our lives. Now I want all the necessary information
for a specific user to be in quick access context.

Now we’ll completely become impudent and fasten our bot instance to
context:

We put everything in place and get a citadel of comfort and convenience in

just one call.
 Decorators are our everything
Most often, it turns out that the name of the function coincides with the
name of the command to which we want to add a handler. Why not use this
statistical feature for your selfish purposes.

It looks cool, but it doesn't work. It's all about the bind_context decorator,
which will always return the name of the wrapper function. Correct this
misunderstanding.

There are many message handlers in the bot, which, by design, should
cancel the command when entering zero. Also I need to discard all edited
posts.
 We do not forget at the same time about the most important decorator -
@run_asyncon which asynchrony is based. Now we collect the heavy
function.

Remember that asynchrony is a Jedi sword, but with this sword, you can
quickly kill yourself.
Sometimes programs freeze without sending anything to the log.
@logger.catch, the last decorator on our list, ensures that any error is
correctly reported to a logger.

Admin panel
Let's implement an admin panel with the ability to receive/delete logs and
send a message to all users.
 The add_conversation_handler function allows you to add a conversation
handler in a minimalistic way:

Main functionality
Let's teach our bot to add new words to user dictionaries.
We pack the bot
 Before we pack our bot, add proxy support and change log levels from the
console.

Python 3.5+ supports the ability to pack a directory into a single

executable file. Let's take this opportunity to be able to deploy your work
environment on any VPS easily. First, get the dependency file. If you are
using a virtual environment, it can be done with one command: pip freeze >
requirements.txt. If the project does not have a virtual environment, then you
will have to tinker a bit. You can try to use pip freeze and manually isolate all
the necessary packages. Still, if too many packages are installed on the
system, then this method will not work. The second option is to use ready-
made solutions, for example, pipreqs.
Now that our dependency file is ready, we can pack our directory into a
.pyzfile. To do this, enter the command py - m zipapp
"ПУТЬ_К_КАТАЛОГУ" -m
"ИМЯ_ГЛАВНОГО_ФАЙЛА:ГЛАВНАЯ_ФУНКЦИЯ" -o bot.pyz, it will
create the bot.pyz file in the project folder. Please note that the code in init
.py must be wrapped in some function, otherwise the executable file will be
impossible to compile.
 We wrap the files in the archive zip bot.zip requirements.txt bot.pyzand
send it to our VPS.
 5. THE THERMAL IMAGER ON THE
RASPBERRY PI

ell-known thermal imaging modules appeared on the famous Chinese

W site. Is it possible to assemble an exotic and, possibly, even useful thing
- a home-made thermal imager? Why not, like Raspberry was lying
somewhere. What came of it – I will tell you under the cut.
MLX90640. What is it?
And this, in fact, is a thermal imaging matrix with a microcontroller on
board. Production of the previously unknown company Melexis. The thermal
imaging matrix has a dimension of 32 by 24 pixels. This is not much, but
when interpolating the image, it seems to be enough to make out something,
at least.

There are two type of sensor is available version, the cases of which differ
in the viewing angle of the matrix. A more squat structure A overlooks the
outside world at an angle of 110 (horizontal) at 75 (vertical) degrees. B -
under 55 by 37.5 degrees, respectively. The device case has only four outputs
- two for power, two for communicating with the control device via the I2C
interface. Interested datasheets can be downloaded here.
 And then what is the GY-MCU90640?
Chinese comrades put the MLX90640 on board with another
microcontroller on board (STM32F103). Apparently, for easier matrix
management. This whole farm is called GY-MCU90640. And it costs at the
time of acquisition (end of December 2018) in the region of 5 thousands $.
As follows:

As you see, there are two types of boards, with a narrow or wide-angle
version of the sensor onboard.
Which version is best for you? A good question, unfortunately, I had it
only after the modules was already ordered and received. For some reason, at
this time of the orders, I did not pay attention to these nuances. But in vain.
A wider version will be useful on self-propelleds robots or in security
system (the field of view will be larger). According to the datasheets, it also
has less noise and higher measurement accuracy.
But for visualization tasks, I would more recommend a more “long-range”
version of B. For one very significant reason. In the future, when shooting, it
can be deployed (manually or on a platform with a drive) and take composite
"photos," thereby increasing the more than a modest resolution of 32 by 24
pixels. Collects thermal images 64 by 96 pixels, for example. Well, all right,
in the future, the photos will be from the wide-angle version A.
Connect to Raspberry PI
There are two ways to control the thermal imaging module:

1. Shorten the “SET” jumper on the board and use I2C to contact
the internal microcontroller MLX90640 directly.
2. Leave the jumper alone and communicate with the module
 through a similar interface installed on the STM32F103 board via
RS-232.
If you write in C ++, it will probably be more convenient to ignore the
extra microcontroller, short-circuit the jumper and use the API from the
manufacturer, which lies here.
Humble pythonists can also go the first way. It seems like that there are a
couple of Python libraries ( here and here ). But unfortunately, not a single
one worked for me.
Advanced pythonists can write a module control driver in Python. The
procedure for obtaining a frame is described in detail in the datasheet. But
then you will have to prescribe all the calibration procedures, which seems
slightly burdensome. Therefore, I had to go the second way. It turned out to
be moderately thorny, but quite passable.
Thanks to the insight of Chinese engineers or just a happy coincidence, the
shawl turned out to have a perfect location of the conclusions:
 It remains only to put the block and insert the scarf into the raspberry
connector. A 5 to 3 Volt converter is installed on the board, so it seems that
nothing threatens Raspberry's delicate Rx and Tx terminals.
It should be added that the connection according to the first option, is also
possible, but requires more labor and solder skill. The board must be installed
on the other side of the Raspberry connector (shown in the title photo of this
post).
Soft
On a well-known Chinese site, such a miracle is offered to access the GY-
MCU90640:
Most likely, there should be some description of the interaction protocol
with the microcontroller installed on the board, according to which this
software product works! After a brief conversation with the seller of scarves
(respect to these respected gentlemen), such a protocol was sent to me. It
appeared in pdf and pure Chinese.
Thanks to Google’s translator and active copy-paste, after about an hour
and a half, the protocol was decrypted, anyone can read it on Github. It
turned out that the scarf understands six basic commands, among which there
is a frame request on the COM port.
Each pixel of the matrix is, in fact, the temperature value of the object that
this pixel is looking at. The temperature in degrees Celsius times 100
(double-byte number). There is even a special mode in which the scarf will
send frames from the matrix to the Raspberry 4 times per second.

 Results
The script polls the thermal imaging matrix and outputs the frames to the
monitor console on which the Raspberry PI is connected, four times per
second. This is enough not to experience significant discomfort when
shooting objects. To visualize the frame, the OpenCV package is used. When
the “s” button is pressed, the thermal imaging “heat maps” in jpg format are
saved in the folder with the script.
For more information, I deduced the minimum and maximum temperatures
on the frame. That is, looking at the color, you can see what approximately
the temperature of the most heated or chilled objects. The measurement error
is approximately a degree with a larger side. The thermal range is set from 20
to 40 degrees. Exit the script by pressing Ctrl + C.
The script works approximately the same on both the Raspberry Pi Zero W
and the Pi 3 B +. I installed the VNC server on the smartphone. Thus, picking
up raspberries connected to a power bank and a smartphone with VNC
running, you can get a portable thermal imager with the ability to save
thermal images. Perhaps this is not entirely convenient, but quite functional.
After the first start, an incorrect measurement of the maximum
temperature is possible. In this case, you need to exit the script and rerun it.
That is all for today. The experiment with a home-made thermal imager
turned out to be successful. With the helping of this device, it is quite
possible to conduct a thermal imaging inspection of the house on your own,
for example.
Due to the lower temperature contrast than indoors, the pictures were not
very informative. In the photo above, the whole house is on two sides. On the
bottom - photos of different windows.
In the code, I changed only the temperature range. Instead of +20 ... + 40, I
set -10 ... + 5.
 6. FINDING A FREE PARKING SPACE WITH
PYTHON

live in a proper city. But, like in many others, the search for a parking
I space always turns into a test. Free spaces quickly occupy, and even if you
have your own, it will be difficult for friends to call you because they will
have nowhere to park.
So I decided to point the camera out the window and use deep learning so
that my computer tells me when the space is available:
It may sound complicated, but writing a working prototype with deep
learning is quick and easy. All the necessary components are already there -
you just need to know where to find them and how to put them together.
So let's have some fun and write an accurate free parking notification
system using Python and deep learning
Decomposing the task
When we have a difficult task that we want to solve with the help of
machine learning, the first step is to break it down into a sequence of simple
tasks. Then we can use various tools to solve each of them. By combining
several simple solutions, we get a system that is capable of something
complex.
Here is how I broke my task:
The video stream from the webcam directed to the window enters the
conveyor input: Through the pipeline, we will transmit each frame of the
video, one at a time.
The first point is to recognize all the possible parking spaces in the frame.
Before we can look for unoccupied places, we need to understand in which
parts of the image there is parking.
Then on each frame you need to find all the cars. This will allow us to
track the movement of each machine from frame to frame.
The third step is to determine which places are occupied by machines and
which are not. To do this, combine the results of the first two steps.
Finally, the program should send an alert when the parking space becomes
free. This will be determined by changes in the location of the machines
between the frames of the video.
Each of the step can be completed in different ways using different
technologies. There is no single right or wrong way to compose this
conveyor: different approaches will have their advantages and disadvantages.
Let's deal with each step in more detail.

We recognize parking spaces

Here is what our camera sees:

We need to scan this image somehow and get a list of places to park:
 The solution “in the forehead” would be to simply hardcode the locations
of all parking spaces manually instead of automatically recognizing them.
But in this case, if we move the camera or want to look for parking spaces on
another street, we will have to do the whole procedure again. It sounds so-so,
so let's look for an automatic way to recognize parking spaces.
Alternatively, you can search for parking meters in the image and assume
that there is a parking space next to each of them:

However, with this approach, not everything is so smooth. Firstly, not

every parking space has a parking meter, and indeed, we are more interested
in finding parking spaces for which you do not have to pay. Secondly, the
location of the parking meter does not tell us anything about where the
parking space is, but it only allows us to make an assumption.
Another idea is to create an object recognition model that looks for parking
space marks drawn on the road:
But this approach is so-so. Firstly, in my city, all such trademarks are very
small and difficult to see at a distance, so it will be difficult to detect them
using a computer. Secondly, the street is full of all sorts of other lines and
marks. It will be challenging to separate parking marks from lane dividers
and pedestrian crossings.
When you encounter a problem that at first glance seems complicated, take
a few minutes to find another approach to solving the problem, which will
help to circumvent some technical issues. What is the parking space? This is
just a place where a car is parked for a long time. Perhaps we do not need to
recognize parking spaces at all. Why don't we acknowledge only cars that
have stood still for a long time and not assume that they are standing in a
parking space?
In other words, parking spaces are located where cars stand for a long
time:
Thus, if we can recognize the cars and find out which of them do not move
between frames, we can guess where the parking spaces are. Simple as that -
let's move on to recognizing cars!
Recognize cars
Recognizing cars on a video frame is a classic object recognition task.
There are many machine learning approaches that we could use for
recognition. Here are some of them in order from the "old school" to the
"new school":

You can train the detector based on HOG (Histogram of Oriented

Gradients, histograms of directional gradients) and walk it through
the entire image to find all the cars. This old approach, which does
not use deep learning, works relatively quickly but does not cope
very well with machines located in different ways.
 You can train a CNN-based detector (Convolutional Neural
Network, a convolutional neural network) and walk through the
entire image until you find all the cars. This approach works
precisely, but not as efficiently since we need to scan the image
several times using CNN to find all the machines. And although
we can find machines located in different ways, we need much
more training data than for a HOG detector.
You can use a new approach with deep learning like Mask R-
CNN, Faster R-CNN, or YOLO, which combines the accuracy of
CNN and a set of technical tricks that significantly increase the
speed of recognition. Such models will work relatively quickly (on
the GPU) if we have a lot of data for training the model.
In the general case, we need the simplest solution, which will work as it
should and require the least amount of training data. This is not required to be
the newest and fastest algorithm. However, specifically in our case, Mask R-
CNN is a reasonable choice, even though it is unique and fast.
Mask R-C-N-N architecture is designed in such a way that it recognizes
objects in the entire image, effectively spending resources, and does not use
the sliding window approach. In other words, it works pretty fast. With a
modern GPU, we can recognize objects in the video in high resolution at a
speed of several frames per second. For our project, this should be enough.
Also, Mask R-CNN provides a lot of information about each recognized
object. Most recognition algorithms return only a bounding box for each
object. However, Mask R-CNN will not only give us the location of each
object but also its outline (mask):
To train Mask R-CNN, we need a lot of images of the objects that we want
to recognize. We could go outside, take pictures of cars, and mark them in
photographs, which would require several days of work. Fortunately, cars are
one of those objects that people often want to recognize, so several public
datasets with images of cars already exist.
One of them is the popular SOCO dataset (short for Common Objects In
Context), which has images annotated with object masks. This dataset
contains over 12,000 images with already labeled machines. Here is an
example image from the dataset:
Such data is excellent for training a model based on Mask R-CNN.
 But hold the horses, there is news even better! We are not the first who
wanted to train their model using the COCO dataset - many people had
already done this before us and shared their results. Therefore, instead of
training our model, we can take a ready-made one that can already recognize
cars. For our project, we will use the open-source model from Matterport.
If we give the image from the camera to the input of this model, this is
what we get already “out of the box”:
The model recognized not only cars but also objects such as traffic lights
and people. It's funny that she recognized the tree as a houseplant.
For each recognized object, the Mask R-CNN model returns four things:

Type of object detected (integer). The pre-trained COCO model

can recognize 80 different everyday objects like cars and trucks. A
complete list is available here.
The degree of confidence in the recognition results. The higher the
number, the stronger the model is confident in the correct
recognition of the object.
Abounding box for an object in the form of XY-coordinates of
pixels in the image.
A “mask” that shows which pixels within the bounding box are
part of the object. Using the mask data, you can find the outline of
the object.
Below is the Python code for detecting the bounding box for machines
using the pre-trained Mask R-CNN and OpenCV models:
 After running this script, an image with a frame around each detected
machine will appear on the screen: Also, the coordinates of each machine
will be displayed in the console:

So we learned to recognize cars in the image.

We recognize empty parking spaces
We know the pixel coordinates of each machine. Looking through several
consecutive frames, we can quickly determine which of the cars did not move
and assume that there are parking spaces. But how to understand that the car
left the parking lot?
The problem is that the frames of the machines partially overlap each
other:
Therefore, if you imagine that each frame represents a parking space, it
may turn out that it is partially occupied by the machine, when in fact it is
empty. We need to find a way to measure the degree of intersection of two
objects to search only for the “most empty” frames.
We will use a measure called Intersection Over Union (ratio of intersection
area to total area) or IoU. IoU can be found by calculating the number of
pixels where two objects intersect and divide by the number of pixels
occupied by these objects:
So we can understand how the very bounding frame of the car intersects
with the frame of the parking space. make it easy to determine if parking is
free. If the IoU is low, like 0.15, then the car takes up a small part of the
parking space. And if it is high, like 0.6, then this means that the car takes up
most of the space and you can’t park there.
Since IoU is used quite often in computer vision, it is very likely that the
corresponding libraries implement this measure. In our library Mask R-CNN,
it is implemented as a function mrcnn.utils.compute_overlaps ().
If we have a list of bounding boxes for parking spaces, you can add a
check for the presence of cars in this framework by adding a whole line or
two of code:

The result should look something like this:

In this two-dimensional array, each row reflects one frame of the parking
space. And each column indicates how strongly each of the places intersects
with one of the detected machines. A result of 1.0 means that the entire space
is entirely occupied by the car, and a low value like 0.02 indicates that the car
has climbed into place a little, but you can still park on it.
 To find unoccupied places, you just need to check each row in this array. If
all numbers are close to zero, then most likely, the place is free!
However, keep in mind that object recognition does not always work
correctly with real-time video. Although the model based on Mask R-CNN is
wholly accurate, from time to time, it may miss a car or two in one frame of
the video. Therefore, before asserting that the place is free, you need to make
sure that it remains so for the next 5-10 next frames of video. This way, we
can avoid situations when the system mistakenly marks a place empty due to
a glitch in one frame of the video. As soon as we make sure that the place
remains free for several frames, you can send a message!
Send SMS
The last part of our conveyor is sending SMS notifications when a free
parking space appears.
Sending a message from Python is very easy if you use Twilio. Twilio is
an accessible API that allows you to send SMS from almost any
programming language with just a few lines of code. Of course, if you prefer
a different service, you can use it. I have nothing to do with Twilio: it's just
the first thing that come to brain .
To using Twilio, sign-up for a trial account, create a Twilio phone number,
and get your account authentication information. Then install the client
library:
After that, use the following code to send the message:

To add the ability to send messages to our script, just copy this code there.
However, you need make sure that the message is not sent on every frame,
where you can see the free space. Therefore, we will have a flag that in the
installed state will not allow sending messages for some time or until another
place is vacated.
Putting it all together
# Location of parking spaces.
 To run that code, you first need to install Python 3.6+, Matterport Mask R-
CNN, and OpenCV.
I specifically wrote the code as simple as possible. For example, if he sees
in the first frame of the car, he concludes that they are all parked. Try
experiment with it and see if you can improve its reliability.
Just by changing the identifiers of the objects that the model is looking for,
you can turn the code into something completely different. For example,
imagine that you are working at a ski resort. After making a couple of
changes, you can turn this script into a system that automatically recognizes
snowboarders jumping from a ramp and records videos with cool jumps. Or,
if you work in a nature reserve, you can create a system that counts zebras.
You are limited only by your imagination.
 7. CREATING GAMES ON THE PYGAME
FRAMEWORK | PART 1

Hi, Python lover!

his is the first of a thired-part tutorial on creating games using Python 3
T and Pygame. In the second part, we examined the class TextObjectused to
render text to the screen is created to the main window, and learned how
to draw objects: bricks, ball, and racket.
In this part, we will the dive deeper into the heart of Breakout, and learn
how to handle events, get acquainted with the main Breakout class, and see
how to move various objects in the game.
Event handling
Breakout has three types of events: keystroke events, mouse events, and
timer events. The main loop in the Game class handles keystrokes and mouse
events and passes them to subscribers (by calling a handler function).
Although the Game class is very general and does not have knowledge
about Breakout implementation, the subscription and event handling methods
are very specific.

Breakout class
The Breakout class implements most of the knowledge about how
Breakout is controlled. In this tutorial series, we will meet the Breakout class
several times. Here are the lines that various event handlers register.
It should be noted that all key events (for both the left and right “arrows”)
are transmitted to one racket handler method.
 Keystroke handling
The Game class calls registered handlers for each key event and passes the
key. Note that this is not a Paddle
class. Into Breakout, the only object that is interested in such events is a
racket. When you press or release a key, its method is handle() called. The
Paddle object does not need to know if this was a key press or release event,
because it controls the current state using a pair of Boolean variables:
moving_left and moving_right . If moving_left True, it means that the
"left" key was pressed, and the next event will be the release of the key,
which will reset the variable. The same applies to the right key. The logic is
simple and consists of switching the state of these variables in response to
any event.

Mouse event handling

Breakout has a game menu that we will meet soon. The menu button
controls various mouse events, such as movement and button presses (mouse
down and mouse up events). In the response to these events, the button
updates the internal state variable. Here is the mouse processing code:
 Notice that the method handle_mouse_event() registered to receive mouse
events checks the type of event and redirects it to the appropriate method that
processes this type of event.

Handling Timer Events

Timer events are not processed in the main loop. However, since the main
loop is called in each frame, it is easy to check whether the time has come for
a particular event. You will see this later when we discuss temporary special
effects.
Another situation is the need to pause the game. For example, when
displaying a message that the player must read and so that nothing distracts
him. The show_message()Breakout class method takes this approach and to
calls time.sleep(). Here is the relevant code:
 Game process
Gameplay (gameplay) is where the Breakout rules come into play. The
gameplay consists in moving various objects in response to events and in
changing the state of the game based on their interactions.

Moving racket
You saw earlier that the Paddle class responds to arrow keys by updating
its
fields moving_left and moving_right . The movement itself occurs in a
method update(). Certain calculations are performed here if the racket is
close to the left or right edge of the screen. We do not want the racket to go
beyond the boundaries of the screen (taking into account a given offset).
Therefore, if the movement moves the object beyond the borders, then the
code adjusts the movement so that it stops right at the border. Since the racket
only moves horizontally to the vertical component of the movement is always
zero.
 Moving ball
The ball simply uses the functionality of the base class GameObject,
which moves objects based on their speed (its horizontal and vertical
components). As we will soon see, the speed of a ball is determined by many
factors in the Breakout class. Since the movement consists simply of adding
speed to the current position, the direction in which the ball moves is
completely determined by the speed along the horizontal and vertical axes.
Setting the initial speed of the ball
The Breakout ball comes out of nowhere at the very beginning of the game
every time a player loses his life. It simply materializes from the ether and
begins to fall either exactly down or at a slight angle. When the ball is created
in the method create_ball(), it gets the speed with a random horizontal
component in the range from - 2 to 2 and the vertical component specified in
the config.py module (the default value is 3 ).
 Summarize
In this part, we looked at handling events such as keystrokes, mouse
movements, and mouse clicks. We also examined some elements of Breakout
gameplay: moving the racket, moving the ball, and controlling the speed of
the ball.
In the fourth part, we will consider the important topic of collision
recognition and see what happens when the ball hits different game objects: a
racket, bricks, walls, ceiling, and floor. Then we will pay attention to the
game menu. We will create our buttons, which we use as a menu, and will be
able to show and hide if necessary.

CREATING GAMES ON THE PYGAME

FRAMEWORK | PART 2
This is the Second of a Thired-part tutorial on the creating games using
Python 3 and Pygame. In the third part, we delved to the heart of Breakout,
and learned how to handle events, got acquainted within the main Breakout
class and saw how to move different game objects.
In this part, we will learn the how to recognize collisions and what
happens to when a ball hits different object: a racket, bricks, walls, ceiling,
and floor. Finally, we will look at the important topic of the user interface,
and in particular, how to create the menu from your buttons.
Collision Recognition
In games, the objects collide with each other, and Breakout is no
exception. The ball is collides with objects. The main method
handle_ball_collisions() has a built-in function is called intersect() that is
used to the check whether the ball hit the object and where it collided with
the object. It returns 'left,' 'right,' 'top,' 'bottom,' or None if the ball does not
collide with an object.

Collision of a ball with a racket.

When the ball hit the racket, it bounces. If it hit the top of the racket, it
bounces back up, but retains same components horizontal fast speed.
But if he hit the side of the racket, it bounces to the opposite side (right or
left) and continues to move down until it hits the floor. The code uses a
function intersect().
 Collision with the floor.
The ball hits to the racket from the side, the ball continues fall and then
hits the floor. At this moment, the player to loses his life and the ball is
recreated so that game can continue. The game ends when player runs out of
life.

Collision with ceiling and walls

When a ball hits the wall or ceiling, it simply bounces off them.

Collision with bricks

When ball hits a brick, this is the main event the Breakout game - the brick
disappeared, the player receives a point, the ball bounce back, and several
more events occur (sound effect, and sometimes a special effect), which we
will consider later.
 To determine that the ball has hit a brick, the code will check if any of the
bricks intersects with the ball:

Game Menu Design Program

Most games have some kind of U.I. Breakout has simple menu with two
buttons, 'PLAY' and 'QUIT.' The menu is display at the beginning of the
game and disappears when the player clicks on 'PLAY.'
Let's see how the button and menu are implemented, as well as how they
integrate into the game.
Button Creation
Pygame has no built-in UI library. The third-party extensions, but for the
menu, we decided to create our buttons. that has three states: normal,
highlighted, and press. The normal state when the mouse is not above the
buttons, and the highlight state is when the mouse is above the button, the left
mouse button not yet press. The press state is when the mouse is above the
button, and the player pressed the left mouse button.
The buttons implement as a rectangle with a back ground color and text
display on top of it. The button also receive the (onclick function), which is
called when the button is clicked.
 The button process its own mouse events and changes its internal state
based on these events. When the button is in the press state and receives the
event MOUSE BUTTONUP , this means that the player has press the button
and the function is called on _ click().
 The property back _ color used to draw on the background rectangle to
always returns the color corresponding to current form of the button, so that it
is clear to the player that the button is active:

Menu Design
The function create_menu () create a menu with two buttons with the text
'PLAY' and 'QUIT.' It has two built- in function, on _ play () and on _ quit
() which it pass to the correspond button. Each button is add to the list
objects (for rendering), as well as in the field menu _ buttons .
 When PLAY the button is prese onplay() , a function is called that
removes the button from the list object so that the no longer drawn. In
adding, the values of the Boolean field that trigger the starting of the game -
is_gamerunningand startlevel - Thats OK
When the button is press, QUIT is _ game_ runningtakes on value (False)
(in fact, pausing the game), it set game_ over to True, which triggers the
sequence of completion of the game.

Show and hide GameMenu

The display and hiding the menu are performed implicitly. When the
buttons are in the list object, the menu is visible : when they removed, it is
hidden. Everything is very simple.
Create built-in menu with its surface that renders its subcomponents (
buttons and other objects ) and then simply add or remove these menu
components, but this is not required for such a simple menu.
To summarize
We examined the collision recognition and what happens when the ball is
collides with the different objects: a racket, bricks, walls, floor, and ceiling.
We also created a menu with our buttons, which can be hidden and displayed
on command.
In last part of the series, we will consider completion of the game, tracking
points, and lives, sound effects, and music.
We develop complex system of special effects that add few spices to
game. Finally, we will the discuss further development and possible
improvements.

CREATING GAMES ON THE PYGAME

 FRAMEWORK| PART 3
This is the last of the Thired parts of the tutorial on creating games using
Python 3 and PyGame. In the fourth part, we learned to recognize collisions,
respond to the fact that the ball collides with different game objects, and
created a game menu with its buttons.
In last part, we will look at various topics: the end of the game, managing
lives and points, sound effects, music, and even a flexible system of special
effects. For dessert, we will consider possible improvements and directions
for further development.
End of the game
Sooner or later, the game should end. In this form of Breakout, the game
ends in one of two ways: the player either loses all his life or destroys all the
bricks. There is no next level in the game (but it can easily be added).
Game over!
The game_overclass of the Game class is set to False in the method init
()of the Game class. The main loop continues until the variable
game_overchanges to True :

All this happens in the Breakout class in the following cases:

 The player presses the QUIT button in the menu.
The player loses his last life.
The player destroys all bricks.

Game End Message Display

Usually, at the end of the game, we do not want the game window to
disappear silently. An exception is a case when we click on the QUIT button
in the menu. When a player loses their last life, Breakout displays the
traditional message 'GAME OVER!', And when the player wins, it shows the
message 'YOU WIN!'
In both cases, the function is used show_message(). It displays text on top
of the current screen (the game pauses) and waits a few seconds to before
returning. The next iteration of the game loop, checking the field
game_overwill determine that it is True, after which the program will end.
This is what the function looks like show_message():
 Saving records between games
In this version of the game, we do not save records, because there is only
one level in it, and the results of all players after the destruction of the bricks
will be the same. In general, saving records can be implemented locally,
saving records to a file and displaying another message if a player breaks a
record.
Adding Sound Effects and Music
Games are an audiovisual process. Many games have sound effects - short
audio clips that are played when a player kills monsters finds a treasure, or a
terrible death. Some games also have background music that contributes to
the atmosphere. There are only sound effects in Breakout, but we will show
you how to play music in your games.
Sound effects
To play sound effects, we need sound files (as is the case with image files).
These files can be.wav, .mp3, or .ogg format. Breakout stores its sound
effects in a folder sound_effects:

Let's see how these sound effects load and play at the right time. First, play
sound effects (or background music), we need to initialize the Pygame sound
system. This is done in the Game class:pygame.mixer.pre_init(44100, 16, 2,
4096)
Then, in the Breakout class, all sound effects are loaded from config into
the object pygame mixer Soundand stored in the dictionary:

Now we can play sound effects when something interesting happens. For
example, when a ball hits a brick:

The sound effect is played asynchronously: that is, the game does not stop
while it is playing. Several sound effects can be played at the same time.
Record your sound effects and messages
Recording your sound effects can be a simple and fun experience. Unlike
creating visual resources, it does not require much talent. Anyone can say
"Boom!" or “Jump,” or shout, “They killed you. Get lucky another time! ”
Playing background music
Background music should play continuously. Theoretically, a very long
sound effect can be created, but the looped background music is most often
used. Music files can be in .wav, .mp3, or .midi format. Here's how the music
is implemented:
 Only one background music can play at a time. However, several sound
effects can be played on top of background music. This is what is called
mixing.
Adding Advanced Features
Let's do something curious. It is interesting to destroy bricks with a ball,
but it quickly bothers. What about the overall special effects system? We will
develop an extensible special effects system associated with some bricks,
which is activated when the ball hits the brick.
This is what the plan will be. Effects have a lifetime. The effect begins
when the brick collapses and ends when the effect expires. What happens if
the ball hits another brick with a special effect? In theory, you can create
compatible effects, but to simplify everything in the original implementation,
the active effect will stop, and a new effect will take its place.,
Special effects system
In the most general case, a special effect can be defined as two purposes.
The first role activates the effect, and the second reset it. We want attach
effects to bricks and give the player a clear understanding of which bricks
special , so they can try to hit them or avoid them at certain points.
Our special effects are determined by the dictionary from the module
breakout.py. Each effect has a name (for example, long_paddle) and a value
that consists of a brick color, as well as two functions. Functions are defined
a lambda functions that take a Game instance, which includes everything that
can change the special effect in Breakout.
 When creating bricks, they can be assigned one of the special effects. Here
is the code:

effect field, which usually has the value None, but (with a probability of
30%) may contain one of the special effects defined above. Note that this
code does not know what effects exist. He simply receives the effect and
color of the brick and, if necessary, assigns them.
 In this version of Breakout, we only trigger effects when we hit a brick,
but you can come up with other options for triggering events. The previous
effect is discarded (if it existed), and then a new effect is launched. The reset
function and effect start time are stored for future use.

If the new effect is not launched, we still need to reset the current effect
after its lifetime. This happens in the method update(). In each frame, a
function to reset the current effect is assigned to the field reset_effect. If the
time after starting the current effect exceeds the duration of the effect, then
the function is called reset_effect(), and the field reset_effecttakes the value
None (meaning that there are currently no active effects).

Racket increase
The effect of a long racket is to increase the racket by 50%. Its reset
function returns the racket to its normal size. The brick has the color Orange.:

Ball slowdown
Another effect that helps in chasing the ball is slowing the ball, that is,
reducing its speed by one unit. The brick has an Aquamarine color.

More points
 If you want great results, then you will like the effect of tripling points,
giving three points for each destroyed brick instead of the standard one point.
The brick is dark green.

Extra lives
Finally, a very useful effect will be the effect of extra lives. He just gives
you another life. It does not need a reset. The brick has a gold color.

Future Features
There are several logical directions for expanding Breakout. If you are
interested in trying on yourself in adding new features and functions, here are
a few ideas.

Go to the next level

To turn Breakout into a serious game, you need levels: one is not enough.
At the beginning of each level, we will reset the screen, but save points and
lives. To complicate the game, you can slightly increase the speed of the ball
at each level or add another layer of bricks.

Second ball
The effect of temporarily adding a second ball will create enormous chaos.
The difficulty here is to treat both balls as equal, regardless of which one is
the original. When one ball disappears, the game continues with the only
remaining. Life is not lost.
Lasting records
When you have levels with increasing difficulty, it is advisable to create a
high score table. You can store records in a file so that they are saved after
the game. When a player breaks a record, you can add small pizzas or let him
write a name (traditionally with only three characters).
 Bombs and bonuses
In the current implementation on, all special effects are associated with
bricks, but you can add effects (good and bad) falling from the sky, which the
player can collect or avoid.
Summarize
Developing Breakout with Python 3 and Pygame has proven to be an
enjoyable experience. This is a compelling combination for creating 2D
games (and for 3D games too). If you love Python and want to create your
games, then do not hesitate to choose Pygame.

What is object-oriented programming (OOP)?

Object-oriented programming, or, in short, OOP, is a programming
paradigm that provides a means of structuring programs in such a way that
properties and behavior are combined into separate objects.
 For example, an object can represent a person with a name, age, address,
etc., with behaviors such as walking, talking, breathing, and running. Or an
email with properties such as a recipient list, subject, body, etc., as well as
with behaviors such as adding attachments and sending.
In other words, object-oriented programming is an approach for modeling
specific real things, such as cars, as well as the relationships between things
like companies and employees, students and teachers, etc. OOP models real
objects as program objects that have some data that are associated with it and
can performs certain function.
Another common program para-digm is procedural program, which
structure a program like a recipe in the sense that it provides a set of steps in
the form of functions and blocks of code that are executed sequentially to
complete a task.
The key conclusion is that objects are at the center of the paradigm of
object-oriented programming, representing not only data, as in procedural
programming, but also in the general structure of the program.
NOTE Since Python is a programming language with many paradigms,
you can choose the paradigm that is best suited to the problem in question,
mix different para-digms in one program or switching from one para-digm to
another as your program develops.
Python classes
Focusing first on the data, each object or thing is an instance of some class.
The primitive data structures available in Python, such as numbers, strings,
and lists, are designed to represent simple things, such as the value of
something, the name of the poem, and your favorite colors, respectively.
What if you want to imagine something much more complex?
For example, let say you wanted to track several different animals. If you
use a list, the first element may be the name of the animal, while the second
element may represent its age.
How would you know which element should be? What if you had 100
different animals? Are you sure that every animal has a name, age, and so
on? What if you want to add other properties to these animals? This is not
enough organization, and this is exactly what you need for classes.
Classes are used to create new user data structure that contain arbitrary
informations abouts some thing. In this case of an animal, we could creates
an Animal()class to track animal properties such as name and age.
It is importants to note that a class simply provides structure - it is an
example of how something should be defined, but in fact, it does not provide
any real content. Animal()The class may indicate that the name and age are
required to determine the animal, but it will not claim that the name or age of
a particular animal is.
This can help present the class as an idea of how something should be
defined.
Python Objects (Instances)
While a class is a plan, an instance is a copy of a class with actual values,
literally an object belonging to a particular class. This is no longer an idea:
it's a real animal, like a dog named Roger, which is eight years old.
In other words, a class is a form or profile. It determines the necessary
informations. After you fullfill out the form, your specific copy is an instance
of the class: it contains up-to-date information relevant to you.
You can fill out several copies to create many different copies, but without
a form, as a guide, you would be lost without knowing what information is
required. Thus, before you can create separate instances of an object, we must
first specify what you need by defining a class.
How to define a class in Python
Defining a class is simple in Python:

You start with a classkeyword to indicate that you are creating a class, then
you add the class name (using the CamelCase notation starting with a capital
letter).
Also here we used the Python keyword pass. This is huge often used as a
placeholder where the code will eventually go. This allows us to run this code
without generating an error.
Note: the above code is correct in Python 3. On Python 2.x ("deprecated
Python"), you would use a slightly different class definition:
 Not the (object)parts in parentheses indicate the parent class that you are
inheriting from (more on this below). In Python-3, this is no longer necessary
because it is implicit by defaulting.
Instance attribute
All class create objects, and all objects contain characteristics called
attributes (called properties in the first paragraph). Use the init ()method to
initialize (for example, determine) the initial attributes of an object by giving
them a default value (state). This method must have atleast one argument, as
well as a self variable that refers to the object itself (for example, Dog).

In our Dog()class, each dog has a specific name and age, which is certainly
important to know when you start creating different dogs. Remember: the
class is intended only to define a dog, and not to create instances of
individual dogs with specific names and ages: we will come back to this
soon.
Similarly, a self variable is also an instance of a class. Since class
instances have different meanings, we could argue, Dog.name = namenot
self.name = name. But since not all dogs have the same name, we must be
able to assign different values for different instances. Hence the need for a
special self variable that will help track individual instances of each class.
NOTE: you will never have to call a init ()method: it is called
automatically when a new instance of Dog is created.
Class attributes
Although instance attributes are specific to each object, class attributes are
the same for all instances, in this case, all dogs.

Thus, although each dog has a unique name and age, each dog will be a
mammal. Let's create some dogs ...
Create Objects
Instantiating is an unusual term for creating a new unique instance of a
class.
For example: >>>

We started by definea new Dog()class, then created two new dogs, each of
which was assigned to different
objects. So, to create an instance of the class, you use the class name
follow by parentheses. Then, to demonstration that each instance is actually
different, we created two more dogs, assigning each variable, and then
checking to see if these variables are equal.
What do you think is the type of class instance? >>>

Let's look at the more complex example ...

 NOTE Notice how we use point records to access the attributes of each
objects. Save as (dog_class.py), then run program. You should see:

What's the matter?

We create a new instance of the Dog()class and assigned it to a variable
Philo. Then we passed him two arguments, "Philo" and 5, which represent the
name and age of this dog, respectively.
These attribute are pass to the init method, which is called every time you
creates a new attaching, instance the name and age to the object. You may be
wondering why we should not have given self arguments.
This is the magic of Python: when you create a new instance of the class,
Python automatically determines what selfies (in this case, Dog), and passes
it to the init method.
Review of exercises (# 1)
Exercise: “The oldest dog”
Using the same Dogclass, create three new dogs, each with a different age.
Then write a function with a name get_biggest_number()that takes any
number of ages ( *args) and returns the oldest. Then print the age of the
oldest dog something like this:
The oldest dog is 7 years old. Solution: "The oldest dog" Solution
"The oldest dog."
 Instance Methods
Instance methods are defined inside the class and are used to get the
contents of the instance. They can also be used to perform operation with the
attribute of our objects. Like a init method, the first argument is always self:

Save as dog_instance_methods.py , then run it:

In the last method, speak()we define the behavior. What other types of
behavior can you assign to a dog? Go back to the beginning of the paragraph
to see examples of the behavior of other objects.
Attribute Change
You can changes the value of attributes based on some behavior: >>>

Here we added a method for sending an email that updates the

is_sentvariable to True.
Python object inheritance
Inheritance is a processing in which one class accepts the attributes and
methods of another. Newly created classes are called child classes, and the
classes from which the child classes derive are called parent classes.
It is importants to note that child classes override or extend the
functionality (for example, attributes and behavior) of parent classes. In other
words, child classes inherit all the attributes and behavior of the parent, but
can also define other behavior to be followed. The most basic type of class is
the class object, which usually all other classes inherit as the parents.
When you defining a new class, Python 3 implicitly uses its object as the
parent class. Thus, the following two definitions are equivalent:

Note. In Python 2.x, there is a difference between the new and old-style
classes. I will not go into details, but you will usually want to specify an
object as the parent class to make sure that you define a new style class if you
are writing Python 2 OOP code.
Dog Park Example
 Let's imagine that we are in a dog park. There are several Dog objects
involved in Dog behavior, each with different attributes. In ordinary
conversation, this means that some dogs are running, and some are stretched,
and some are just watching other dogs. Besides, each dog was named its
owner, and since each dog lives and breathes, each is aging.
How else can you distinguish one dog from another? How about a dog
breed: >>>

Each dog breed has slightly different behaviors. To take this into account,
let's create separate classes for each breed. These are child classes of the
parent Dogclass.
Extending parent class functionality
Create new file this called dog_inheritance.py :
 Read the comments aloud while you are working with this program to help
you understand what is happening, and then, before you run the program, see
if you can predict the expected result.
You should see:

We did not add any special attributes or methods to distinguish between a

RussellTerrierand a Bulldog. Still, since they are now two different classes,
we could, for example, give them different class attributes that determine
their respective speeds.
Parent and child classes
isinstance()The function is used to determine if the instance is also an
instance of a specific parent class. Save this as dog_isinstance.py :
Conclusion: >>>
 It makes sense? Both jimand julieare instances of the Dog()class and
johnnywalkerare not instances of Bulldog()the class. Then, as a health check,
we checked juliewhether the instance is an instance jim, which is impossible,
since jimit instancedoes not belong to the class itself, but to the class
TypeError.
Overriding parent class functionality
Remember that child classes can also override the attributes and behavior
of the parent class. For example: >>>

Review of exercises (# 2)
Exercise: "Legacy of the dogs"
Create a Petsclass that contains dog instances: this class is completely
separate from the Dogclass. In other words, a Dogclass is not inherited from
the Petsclass. Then assign three instances of the dog to the Petsclass instance
. Start with the following code below. Save the file as pets_class.py . Your
output should look like this:

Start Code:

Solution: “Dog Inheritance”

 Exercise: Hungry Dogs
Use the same files, add an instance attribute is_hungry = Truein the
Dogclass. Then add the called method, eat()which when called changes the
value is_hungryto False. Find out how best to feed each dog, and then print
"My dogs are hungry." if everyone is hungry or "My dogs are not hungry." if
everyone is not hungry. The final result should look like this:

Solution: Hungry Dogs

 Exercise: “Dog Walking”
Next, add a walk()method like Petsand Dogclasses, so that when you call a
method in the Petsclass, each instance of a dog is assigned to Petsa class
walk(). Save this as dog_walking.py . This is a little trickier.
Start by implementing a method just like a speak()method. As for the
method in the Petsclass, you will need to iterate over the list of dogs and then
call the method itself.
The output should look like this:

Solution: “dog walking”

Exercise: “Testing Understanding”
Answer the following OOP questions to verify your learning progress:

1. What class?
2. What an example?
3. What is the relationship between class and instance?
4. What Python syntax is used to define a new class?
5. What is the spelling convention for a class name?
6. How do you create or create an instance of a class?
7. How do you access the attributes and behavior of an instance
of a class?
8. What kind of method?
9. What is the purpose self?
10. What is the purpose of the init method?
11. Describe how inheritance helps prevent code
duplication.
 12. Can child classes override the properties of their
parents?
Solution: “Test of understanding” Show hide

1. A class mechanism used to create new custom data structures.

It contains data, as well as methods used to process this data.
2. An instance is a copy of a class with actual values, literally an
object of a particular class.
3. While a class is a plan used to describe how to create
something, instances are objects created from these drawings.
4. class PythonClassName:
5. Capitalized CamelCase designation - i.e. PythonClassName()
6. You use the class name followed by parentheses. So if the
name of the class Dog(), the instance of the dog will be -
my_class = Dog().
7. With dot notation - for example,
instance_name.attribute_name
8. A function that defined inside a class.
9. The first argument of each method refers to the current
instance of the class, which is called by the convention self.
The init method self refers to a newly created object, while in
other methods, it a self refers into the instance whose method
was called. For more on the init con self, check out this
article.
10. init The method initializes an instance of the class.
11. Child classes inherit all the attributes and behavior of
the parent.
12. Yes.
 CONCLUSION

Now you should know what classes are, why you want or should use them,
and how to create parent and child classes to better structure your programs.
Remember that OOP is a programming paradigm, not a Python concept.
Most modern programming languages, such as Java, C #, C ++, follow the
principles of OOP. So the good news is that learning the basics of object-
oriented programming will be useful to you in a variety of circumstances -
whether you work in Python or not.
Now the industry does not stand still and there are more and more web
sites, services and companies that need specialists.
Demand for developers is growing, but competition among them is
growing.
To be the best in your business, you need to be almost an absolutely
universal person who can write a website, create a design for it, and promote
it yourself.
In this regard, even a person who has never sat at this computer begins to
think, but should I try?
But very often it turns out that such enthusiasts burn out at the initial stage,
without having tried themselves in this matter.
Or maybe he would become a brilliant creator of code? Would create
something new? This we will not know.
Every day, the threshold for entering programming is growing. You can
never predict what new language will come out.
Such an abundance breaks all the desire of a newly minted programmer
and he is lost in this ocean of information.
All these javascripts of yours ... pythons ... what fear ..
A great misconception is the obligation to know mathematics. Yes, it is
needed, but only in a narrow field, but it is also useful for understanding
some aspects.
The advice that can be given to people who are just starting their activity is
not to chase everything at once. Allow yourself time to think.
What do I want to do? Create a program for everyone to be useful? Create
additional services to simplify any tasks? Or do you really have to go make
games?
The second advice will be to answer my question how much time am I
ready to devote to this? The third point is to think about how fast you want to
achieve your intended result.
So, there is no “easy way” to start programming, it all depends on you -
your interest, what you want to do and your tasks.
In any case, you need to try and do everything possible in your power.
Good luck in your endeavors!

JASON TEST
 INTRODUCTION

ata Science has been very popular over the last couple of years. The main focus of this sector is to
D incorporate significant data into business and marketing strategies that will help a business
expand. And get to a logical solution, the data can be stored and explored. Originally only the
leading IT corporations were engaged throughout this field, but today information technology is being
used by companies operating in different sectors and fields such as e-commerce, medical care, financial
services, and others. Software processing programs such as Hadoop, R code, SAS, SQL, and plenty
more are available. Python is, however, the most famous and easiest to use data and analytics tools. It is
recognized as the coding world's Swiss Army Knife since it promotes structured coding, object-oriented
programming, the operational programming language, and many others. Python is the most widely used
programming language in the world and is also recognized as the most high - level language for data
science tools and techniques, according to the 2018 Stack Overflow study.
In the Hacker rank 2018 developer poll, which is seen in their love-hate ranking, Python has won the
developer's hearts. Experts in data science expect to see an increase in the Python ecosystem, with
growing popularity. And although your journey to study Python programming may just start, it's nice to
know that there are also plentiful (and increasing) career options.
Data analytics Python programming is extensively used and, along with being a flexible and open-
source language, becomes one of the favorite programming languages. Its large libraries are used for
data processing, and even for a beginner data analyst, they are very easy to understand. Besides being
open-source, it also integrates easily with any infrastructure that can be used to fix the most
complicated problems. It is used by most banks for data crunching, organizations for analysis and
processing, and weather prediction firms such as Climate monitor analytics often use it. The annual
wage for a Computer Scientist is $127,918, according to Indeed. So here's the good news, the figure is
likely to increase. IBM's experts forecast a 28 percent increase in data scientists' demands by 2020. For
data science, however, the future is bright, and Python is just one slice of the golden pie. Luckily
mastering Python and other principles of programming are as practical as ever.
 DATA SCIENCE AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

Data Science has come a long way from the past few years, and thus, it becomes an important factor
in understanding the workings of multiple companies. Below are several explanations that prove data
science will still be an integral part of the global market.
1. The companies would be able to understand their client in a more efficient and high manner with
the help of Data Science. Satisfied customers form the foundation of every company, and they play an
important role in their successes or failures. Data Science allows companies to engage with customers
in the advance way and thus proves the product's improved performance and strength.
2. Data Science enables brands to deliver powerful and engaging visuals. That's one of the reasons
it's famous. When products and companies make inclusive use of this data, they can share their
experiences with their audiences and thus create better relations with the item.
3. Perhaps one Data Science's significant characteristics are that its results can be generalized to
almost all kinds of industries, such as travel, health care, and education. The companies can quickly
determine their problems with the help of Data Science, and can also adequately address them
4. Currently, data science is accessible in almost all industries, and nowadays, there is a huge amount
of data existing in the world, and if used adequately, it can lead to victory or failure of any project. If
data is used properly, it will be important in the future to achieve the product 's goals.
5. Big data is always on the rise and growing. Big data allows the enterprise to address complicated
Business, human capital, and capital management problems effectively and quickly using different
resources that are built routinely.
6. Data science is gaining rapid popularity in every other sector and therefore plays an important role
in every product's functioning and performance. Thus, the data scientist's role is also enhanced as they
will conduct an essential function of managing data and providing solutions to particular issues.
7. Computer technology has also affected the supermarket sectors. To understand this, let's take an
example the older people had a fantastic interaction with the local seller. Also, the seller was able to
meet the customers' requirements in a personalized way. But now this attention was lost due to the
emergence and increase of supermarket chains. But the sellers are able to communicate with their
customers with the help of data analytics.
8. Data Science helps companies build that customer connection. Companies and their goods will be
able to have a better and deeper understanding of how clients can utilize their services with the help of
data science.
Data Technology Future: Like other areas are continually evolving, the importance of data
technology is increasingly growing as well. Data science impacted different fields. Its influence can be
seen in many industries, such as retail, healthcare, and education. New treatments and technologies are
being continually identified in the healthcare sector, and there is a need for quality patient care. The
healthcare industry can find a solution with the help of data science techniques that helps the patients to
take care with. Education is another field where one can clearly see the advantage of data science. Now
the new innovations like phones and tablets have become an essential characteristic of the educational
system. Also, with the help of data science, the students are creating greater chances, which leads to
improving their knowledge.
 Data Science Life Cycle:

Data Structures
A data structure may be selected in computer programming or designed to store data for the purpose
of working with different algorithms on it. Every other data structure includes the data values, data
relationships, and functions between the data that can be applied to the data and information.
Features of data structures
Sometimes, data structures are categorized according to their characteristics. Possible functions are:

Linear or non-linear: This feature defines how the data objects are organized in a
sequential series, like a list or in an unordered sequence, like a table.
Homogeneous or non-homogeneous: This function defines how all data objects in a
collection are of the same type or of different kinds.
Static or dynamic: This technique determines to show to assemble the data structures.
Static data structures at compilation time have fixed sizes, structures, and destinations in
the memory. Dynamic data types have dimensions, mechanisms, and destinations of
memory that may shrink or expand depending on the application.
Data structure Types
Types of the data structure are determined by what sorts of operations will be needed or what kinds
of algorithms will be implemented. This includes:
Arrays: An array stores a list of memory items at adjacent locations. Components of the same
category are located together since each element's position can be easily calculated or accessed. Arrays
can be fixed in size or flexible in length.
Stacks: A stack holds a set of objects in linear order added to operations. This order may be past due
in first out (LIFO) or first-out (FIFO).
Queues: A queue stores a stack-like selection of elements; however, the sequence of activity can
only be first in the first out. Linked lists: In a linear order, a linked list stores a selection of items. In a
linked list, every unit or node includes a data item as well as a reference or relation to the next element
in the list.
Trees: A tree stocks an abstract, hierarchical collection of items. Each node is connected to other
nodes and can have several sub-values, also known as a child.
Graphs: A graph stores a non-linear design group of items. Graphs consist of a limited set of nodes,
also called vertices, and lines connecting them, also known as edges. They are useful for describing
processes in real life, such as networked computers.
Tries: A tria or query tree is often a data structure that stores strings as data files, which can be
arranged in a visual graph.
Hash tables: A hash table or hash chart is contained in a relational list that labels the keys to
variables. A hash table uses a hashing algorithm to transform an index into an array of containers
containing the desired item of data. These data systems are called complex because they can contain
vast quantities of interconnected data. Examples of primal, or fundamental, data structures are integer,
float, boolean, and character.
Utilization of data structures
Data structures are generally used to incorporate the data types in physical forms. This can be
interpreted into a wide range of applications, including a binary tree showing a database table. Data
structures are used in the programming languages to organize code and information in digital storage.
Python databases and dictionaries, or JavaScript array and objects, are popular coding systems used to
gather and analyze data. Also, data structures are a vital part of effective software design. Significance
of Databases Data systems is necessary to effectively handle vast volumes of data, such as data stored
in libraries, or indexing services.
Accurate data configuration management requires memory allocation identifier, data
interconnections, and data processes, all of which support the data structures. In addition, it is important
to not only use data structures but also to select the correct data structure for each assignment.
Choosing an unsatisfactory data structure could lead to slow running times or disoriented code. Any
considerations that need to be noticed when choosing a data system include what type of information
should be processed, where new data will be put, how data will be organized, and how much space will
be allocated for the data.
 PYTHON BASICS

ou can get all the knowledge about the Python programming language in 5 simple steps.
Y Step 1: Practice Basics in Python
It all starts somewhere. This first step is where the basics of programming Python will be learned.
You are always going to want an introduction to data science. Jupyter Notebook, which comes pre-
portioned with Python libraries to help you understand these two factors, which make it one of the
essential resources which you can start using early on your journey.
Step 2: Try practicing Mini-Python Projects
We strongly believe in learning through shoulders-on. Try programming stuff like internet games,
calculators, or software that gets Google weather in your area. Creating these mini-projects can help
you understand Python. Projects like these are standard for any coding languages, and a fantastic way
to strengthen your working knowledge. You will come up with better and advance API knowledge, and
you will continue site scraping with advanced techniques. This will enable you to learn Python
programming more effectively, and the web scraping method will be useful to you later when collecting
data.
Stage 3: Learn Scientific Libraries on Python
Python can do anything with data. Pandas, Matplotliband, and NumPyare are known to be the three
best used and most important Python Libraries for data science. NumPy and Pandas are useful for data
creation and development. Matplotlib is a library for analyzing the data, creating flow charts and
diagrams as you would like to see in Excel or Google Sheets.
Stage 4: Create a portfolio
A portfolio is an absolute need for professional data scientists. These projects must include
numerous data sets and leave important perspectives to readers that you have gleaned. Your portfolio
does not have a specific theme; finding datasets that inspire you, and then finding a way to place them
together. Showing projects like these provide some collaboration to fellow data scientists, and
demonstrates future employers that you have really taken the chance to understand Python and other
essential coding skills. Some of the good things about data science are that, while showcasing the skills
you've learned, your portfolio serves as a resume, such as Python programming.
Step 5: Apply Advanced Data Science Techniques
Eventually, the target is to strengthen your programming skills. Your data science path will be full of
continuous learning, but you can accomplish specialized tutorials to make sure you have specialized in
the basic programming of Python. You need to get confident with clustering models of regression,
grouping, and k-means. You can also leap into machine learning-using sci-kit lessons to bootstrap
models and create neural network models. At this point, developer programming could include creating
models using live data sources. This type of machine learning technique adjusts s its assumptions over
time.

How significant is Python for Data Science?

# Efficient and simple to use – Python is considered a tool for beginners, and any student or
researcher with only basic understanding could start working on it. Time and money spent debugging
codes and constraints on different project management are also minimized. The time for code
implementation is less compared to other programming languages such as C, Java, and C #, which
makes developers and software engineers spend far more time working on their algorithms.
# Library Choice-Python offers a vast library and machine learning and artificial intelligence
database. Scikit Learn, TensorFlow, Seaborn, Pytorch, Matplotlib, and many more are among the most
popular libraries. There are many online tutorial videos and resources on machine learning and data
science, which can be easily obtained.
# Scalability – Python has proven itself to be a highly scalable and faster language compared to other
programming languages such as c++, Java, and R. It gives flexibility in solving problems that can't be
solved with other computer languages. Many companies use it to develop all sorts of rapid techniques
and systems.
#Visual Statistics and Graphics-Python provides a number of visualization tools. The Matplotlib
library provides a reliable framework on which those libraries such as gg plot, pandas plotting,
PyTorch, and others are developed. These services help create graphs, plot lines ready for the Web,
visual layouts, etc.

How Python is used for Data Science

#First phase – First of all, we need to learn and understand what form a data takes. If we perceive
data to be a huge Excel sheet with columns and crows lakhs, then perhaps you should know what to do
about that? You need to gather information into each row as well as column by executing some
operations and searching for a specific type of data. Completing this type of computational task can
consume a lot of time and hard work. Thus, you can use Python's libraries, such as Pandas and Numpy,
that can complete the tasks quickly by using parallel computation.
#Second phase – The next hurdle is to get the data needed. Since data is not always readily
accessible to us, we need to dump data from the network as needed. Here the Python Scrap and brilliant
Soup libraries can enable us to retrieve data from the internet.
#Third phase – We must get the simulation or visual presentation of the data at this step. Driving
perspectives gets difficult when you have too many figures on the board. The correct way to do that is
to represent the data in graph form, graphs, and other layouts. The Python Seaborn and Matplotlib
libraries are used to execute this operation.
#Fourth phase – The next stage is machine-learning, which is massively complicated computing. It
includes mathematical tools such as the probability, calculus, and matrix operations of columns and
rows over lakhs. With Python's machine learning library Scikit-Learn, all of this will become very
simple and effective.

Standard Library
The Python Standard library consists of Python's precise syntax, token, and semantic. It comes
packaged with deployment core Python. When we started with an introduction, we referenced this. It is
written in C and covers features such as I / O and other core components. Together all of the versatility
renders makes Python the language it is. At the root of the basic library, there are more than 200 key
modules. Python ships that library. But aside from this library, you can also obtain a massive collection
of several thousand Python Package Index (PyPI) components.
1. Matplotlib
 ‘Matplotlib’ helps to analyze data, and is a library of numerical plots. For Data Science, we
discussed in Python.
2. Pandas
‘Pandas’ is a must for data-science as we have said before. It provides easy, descriptive, and
versatile data structures to deal with organized (tabulated, multilayered, presumably
heterogeneous) and series data with ease (and fluidly).
3. Requests
‘Requests’ is a Python library that allows users to upload HTTP/1.1 requests, add headers, form
data, multipart files, and simple Python dictionary parameters. In the same way, it also helps you to
access the response data.
4. NumPy
It has basic arithmetic features and a rudimentary collection of scientific computing.
5. SQLAlchemy
It has sophisticated mathematical features, and SQLAlchemy is a basic mathematical programming
library with well-known trends at a corporate level. It was created to make database availability
efficient and high-performance.
6. BeautifulSoup
This may be a bit on the slow side. BeautifulSoup seems to have a superb library for beginner
XML- and HTML- parsing.
7. Pyglet
Pyglet is an outstanding choice when designing games with an object-oriented programming
language interface. It also sees use in the development of other visually rich programs for Mac OS
X, Windows, and Linux in particular. In the 90s, they turned to play Minecraft on their PCs
whenever people were bored. Pyglet is the mechanism powering Minecraft.
8. SciPy
Next available is SciPy, one of the libraries we spoke about so often. It does have a range of
numerical routines that are user-friendly and effective. Those provide optimization routines and
numerical integration procedures.
9. Scrapy
If your objective is quick, scraping at the high-level monitor and crawling the network, go for
Scrapy. It can be used for data gathering activities for monitoring and test automation.
10. PyGame
PyGame offers an incredibly basic interface to the system-independent graphics, audio, and input
libraries of the Popular Direct Media Library (SDL).
11. Python Twisted
Twisted is an event-driven networking library used in Python and authorized under the MIT open-
source license.
12. Pillow
Pillow is a PIL (Python Imaging Library) friendly fork but is more user efficient. Pillow is your
best friend when you're working with pictures.
13. pywin32
As the name suggests, this gives useful methods and classes for interacting with Windows.
 14. wxPython
For Python, it's a wrapper around wxWidgets.
15. iPython
iPython Python Library provides a parallel distributed computing architecture. You will use it to
create, run, test, and track parallel and distributed programming.
16. Nose
The nose provides alternate test exploration and test automation running processes. This intends to
mimic the behavior of the py.test as much as possible.
17. Flask
Flask is a web framework, with a small core and several extensions.
18. SymPy
It is a library of open-source symbolic mathematics. SymPy is a full-fledged Computer Algebra
System (CAS) with a very simple and easily understood code that is highly expandable. It is
implemented in python, and therefore, external libraries are not required.
19. Fabric
As well as being a library, Fabric is a command-line tool to simplify the use of SSH for installation
programs or network management activities. You can run local or remote command line,
upload/download files, and even request input user going, or abort activity with it.
20. PyGTK
PyGTK allows you to create programs easily using a Python GUI (Graphical User Interface).

Operators and Expressions

Operators
In Python, operators are special symbols that perform mathematical operation computation. The
value in which the operator is running on is called the operand.
Arithmetic operators
It is used by arithmetic operators to perform mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplying, etc.
Comparison operators
Comparison operators can be used for value comparisons. Depending on the condition, it returns
either True or False.
Logical operators
Logical operators are and, or, not.
Operator Meaning Example
And True if both operands are true x and y
Or True if either of the operands is true x or y
Not True if the operand is false (complements the not x
operand)

Bitwise operators
Bitwise operators operate as if they became binary-digit strings on operands. Bit by bit they work,
and therefore the name. For example, in binary two is10, and in binary seven is 111.
Assignment operators
Python language’s assignment operators are used to assign values to the variables. a = 5 is a simple
task operator assigning ‘a’ value of 5 to the right of the variable ‘a’ to the left. In Python, there are
various compound operators such as a + = 5, which adds to the variable as well as assigns the same
later. This equals a= a + 5.
Special operators
Python language gives other different types of operators, such as the operator of the identity or the
operator of membership. Examples of these are mentioned below.
Identity operators
‘Is’ and ‘is not’ are Python Identity Operators. They are used to test if there are two values or
variables in the same memory section. Two equal variables do not mean they are equivalent.
Membership operator
The operators that are used to check whether or not there exists a value/variable in the sequence such
as string, list, tuples, sets, and dictionary. These operators return either True or False if a variable is
found in the list, it returns True, or else it returns False
Expressions
An expression is a mix of values, variables, operators, and function calls. There must be an
evaluation of the expressions. When you ask Python to print a phrase, the interpreter will evaluate the
expression and show the output.
Arithmetic conversions
Whenever an arithmetic operator interpretation below uses the phrase "the numeric arguments are
converted to a common type," this means the execution of the operator for the built-in modes operates
as follows
If one argument is a complex quantity, then the other is converted to a complex number; If another
argument is a floating-point number, the other argument is transformed to a floating-point; Or else both
will be integers with no need for conversion.
Atoms
Atoms are the most important expressional components. The smallest atoms are literals or abstract
identities. Forms contained in parentheses, brackets, or braces are also syntactically known as atoms.
Atoms syntax is:
atom ::= identifier | enclosure| literal
enclosure ::= list_display| parenth_form| dict_display | set_display
Identifiers (Names)
A name is an identifier that occurs as an atom. See section Lexical Description Identifiers and
Keywords and group Naming and binding for naming and binding documents. Whenever the name is
connected to an entity, it yields the entity by evaluating the atom. When a name is not connected, an
attempt to assess it elevates the exception for NameError.
Literals
Python provides logical string and bytes and numerical literals of different types:
literal::= string literal | bytes literal
| integer | float number | image number
 Assessment of a literal yield with the predicted set an object of that type (bytes, integer, floating-
point number, string, complex number). In the scenario of floating-point and imaginary (complex)
literals, the value can be approximated.
Parenthesized forms
A parenthesized type is an available set of parentheses for the expression:
parenth_form ::= "(" [starred_expression] ")"
A list of parenthesized expressions yields whatever the list of expressions produces: if the list
includes at least one comma, it produces a tuple. If not, it yields the sole expression that forms up the
list of expressions. A null pair of parentheses generates an incomplete object of tuples. As all tuples are
immutable, the same rules would apply as for literals (i.e., two empty tuple occurrences does or doesn't
yield the same entity).
Displays for lists, sets, and dictionaries
For the construction of a list, Python uses a series or dictionary with a particular syntax called
"displays," each in complementary strands:
The contents of the container are listed explicitly, or They are calculated using a series of instructions
for looping and filtering, named a 'comprehension.' Common features of syntax for comprehensions
are:
comprehension ::= assignment_expressioncomp_for
comp_for ::= ["async"] "for" target_list "in" or_test [comp_iter]
comp_iter ::= comp_for | comp_if
comp_if ::= "if" expression_nocond [comp_iter]
A comprehension contains one single sentence ready for at least one expression for clause, and zero
or more for or if clauses. Throughout this situation, the components of the container are those that will
be generated by assuming each of the for or if clauses as a block, nesting from left to right, and
determining the phase for creating an entity each time the inner core block is approached.
List displays
A list view is a probably empty sequence of square brackets including expressions:
list_display ::= "[" [starred_list | comprehension] "]"
A list display generates a new column object, with either a list of expressions or a comprehension
specifying the items. When a comma-separated database of expressions is provided, its elements are
assessed from left to right and positioned in that order in the category entity. When Comprehension is
provided, the list shall be built from the comprehension components.
Set displays
Curly braces denote a set display and can be distinguished from dictionary displays by the lack of
colons dividing data types:
set_display ::= "{" (starred_list | comprehension) "}"
A set show offers a new, mutable set entity, with either a series of expressions or a comprehension
defining the contents. When supplied with a comma-separated list of expressions, its elements are
evaluated from left to right and assigned to the set entity. Whenever a comprehension is provided, the
set is formed from the comprehension-derived elements. Unable to build an empty set with this {};
literal forms a blank dictionary.
Dictionary displays
A dictionary view is a potentially empty sequence of key pairs limited to curly braces:
 dict_display ::= "{" [key_datum_list | dict_comprehension] "}"
key_datum_list ::= key_datum ("," key_datum)* [","]
key_datum ::= expression ":" expression | "**" or_expr
dict_comprehension ::= expression ":" expression comp_for
The dictionary view shows a new object in the dictionary. When a comma-separated series of key /
datum pairs is provided, they are analyzed from left to right to identify dictionary entries: each key
entity is often used as a key to hold the respective datum in the dictionary. This implies you can clearly
state the very same key numerous times in the key /datum catalog, but the last one given will become
the final dictionary's value for that key.
Generator expressions
A generator expression is the compressed syntax of a generator in the parenthesis :
generator_expression ::= "(" expression comp_for ")"
An expression generator produces an entity that is a new generator. Its syntax will be the same as for
comprehensions, except for being enclosed in brackets or curly braces rather than parentheses.
Variables being used generator expression are assessed sloppily when the generator object (in the same
style as standard generators) is called by the __next__() method. Conversely, the iterate-able expression
in the leftmost part of the clause is evaluated immediately, such that an error that it produces is
transmitted at the level where the expression of the generator is characterized, rather than at the level
where the first value is recovered.
For instance: (x*y for x in range(10) for y in range(x, x+10)).
Yield expressions
yield_atom ::= "(" yield_expression ")"
yield_expression ::= "yield" [expression_list | "from" expression]
The produced expression is used to define a generator function or async generator function, and can
therefore only be used in the function definition body. Using an expression of yield in the body of a
function tends to cause that function to be a generator, and to use it in the body of an asynchronous def
function induces that co-routine function to become an async generator. For example:
def gen(): # defines a generator function
yield 123
asyncdefagen(): # defines an asynchronous generator function
yield 123
Because of their adverse effects on the carrying scope, yield expressions are not allowed as part of
the impliedly defined scopes used to enforce comprehensions and expressions of generators.

Input and Output of Data in Python

Python Output Using print() function
To display data into the standard display system (screen), we use the print() function. We may issue
data to a server as well, but that will be addressed later. Below is an example of its use.
>>>>print('This sentence is output to the screen')
Output:
This sentence is output to the screen
 Another example is given:
a=5
print('The value of a is,' a)
Output:
The value of a is 5
Within the second declaration of print(), we will note that space has been inserted between the string
and the variable value a. By default, it contains this syntax, but we can change it.
The actual syntax of the print() function will be:
print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout, flush=False)
Here, the object is the value(s) that will be printed. The sep separator between values is used. This
switches into a character in space. Upon printing all the values, the finish is printed. It moves into a
new section by design. The file is the object that prints the values, and its default value is sys.stdout
(screen). Below is an example of this.
print(1, 2, 3, 4)
print(1, 2, 3, 4, sep='*')
print(1, 2, 3, 4, sep='#', end='&')
Run code
Output:
1234
1*2*3*4
1#2#3#4&
Output formatting
Often we want to style our production, so it looks appealing. It can be done using the method
str.format(). This technique is visible for any object with a string.
>>> x = 5; y = 10
>>>print('The value of x is {} and y is {}'.format(x,y))
Here the value of x is five and y is 10
Here, they use the curly braces{} as stand-ins. Using numbers (tuple index), we may specify the
order in which they have been printed.
print('I love {0} and {1}'.format('bread','butter'))
print('I love {1} and {0}'.format('bread','butter'))
Run Code
Output:
I love bread and butter
I love butter and bread
People can also use arguments with keyword to format the string.
>>>print('Hello {name}, {greeting}'.format(greeting = 'Goodmorning', name = 'John'))
Hello John, Goodmorning
Unlike the old sprint() style used in the C programming language, we can also format strings. To
accomplish this, we use the ‘%’ operator.
 >>> x = 12.3456789
>>>print('The value of x is %3.2f' %x)
The value of x is 12.35
>>>print('The value of x is %3.4f' %x)
The value of x is 12.3457
Python Indentation
Indentation applies to the spaces at the start of a line of the compiler. Whereas indentation in code is
for readability only in other programming languages, but the indentation in Python is very important.
Python supports the indent to denote a code block.
Example
if 5 > 2:
print("Five is greater than two!")
Python will generate an error message if you skip the indentation:
Example
Syntax Error:
if 5 > 2:
print("Five is greater than two!")
Python Input
Our programs have been static. Variables were described or hard-coded in the source code. We
would want to take the feedback from the user to allow flexibility. We have the input() function in
Python to enable this. input() is syntax as:
input([prompt])
While prompt is the string we want to show on the computer, this is optional.
>>>num = input('Enter a number: ')
Enter a number: 10
>>>num
'10'
Below, we can see how the value 10 entered is a string and not a number. To transform this to a
number we may use the functions int() or float().
>>>int('10')
10
>>>float('10')
10.0
The same method can be done with the feature eval(). Although it takes eval much further. It can
even quantify expressions, provided that the input is a string
>>>int('2+3')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 301, in runcode
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: int() base 10 invalid literal: '2+3'
 >>>eval('2+3')

Python Import
As our software gets larger, splitting it up into separate modules is a smart idea. A module is a file
that contains definitions and statements from Python. Python packages have a filename, and the .py
extension begins with it. Definitions may be loaded into another module or to the integrated Python
interpreter within a module. To do this, we use the keyword on import.
For instance, by writing the line below, we can import the math module:
import math
We will use the module as follows:
import math
print(math.pi)
Run Code
Output
3.141592653589793
So far, all concepts are included in our framework within the math module. Developers can also only
import certain particular attributes and functions, using the keyword.
For instance:
>>>from math import pi
>>>pi
3.141592653589793
Python looks at multiple positions specified in sys.path during the import of a module. It is a list of
positions in a directory.
>>> import sys
>>>sys.path
['',
'C:\\Python33\\Lib\\idlelib',
'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python33.zip',
'C:\\Python33\\DLLs',
'C:\\Python33\\lib',
'C:\\Python33',
'C:\\Python33\\lib\\site-packages']
We can insert our own destination to that list as well.
 FUNCTIONS

ou utilize programming functions to combine a list of instructions that you're constantly using or
Y that are better self-contained in sub-program complexity and are called upon when required.
Which means a function is a type of code written to accomplish a given purpose. The function
may or may not need various inputs to accomplish that particular task. Whenever the task is executed,
one or even more values can or could not be returned by the function. Basically there exist three types
of functions in Python language:

1. Built-in functions, including help() to ask for help, min() to just get the minimum
amount, print() to print an attribute to the terminal. More of these functions can be found
here.
2. User-Defined Functions (UDFs) that are functions created by users to assist and support
them out;
3. Anonymous functions, also labeled lambda functions since they are not defined with the
default keyword.
Defining A Function: User Defined Functions (UDFs)
The following four steps are for defining a function in Python:

1. Keyword def can be used to declare the function and then use the function name to
backtrack.
2. Add function parameters: They must be within the function parentheses. Finish off your
line with a colon.
3. Add statements which should be implemented by the functions.
When the function should output something, end your function with a return statement. Your task
must return an object None without return declaration. Example:
1. def hello():
2. print("Hello World")
3.return
It is obvious as you move forward, the functions will become more complex: you can include for
loops, flow control, and more to make things more fine-grained:
def hello():
name = str(input("Enter your name: "))
if name:
print ("Hello " + str(name))
else:
print("Hello World")
return
hello()
 In the feature above, you are asking the user to give a name. When no name is provided, the 'Hello
World' function will be printed. Otherwise, the user will receive a custom "Hello" phrase. Also,
consider you can specify one or more parameters for your UDFs function. When you discuss the
segment Feature Statements, you will hear more about this. Consequently, as a result of your function,
you may or may not return one or more values.
The return Statement
Note that since you're going to print something like that in your hello) (UDF, you don't really have to
return it. There'll be no distinction between the above function and this one:
Example:
1. defhello_noreturn():
2. print("Hello World")
Even so, if you'd like to keep working with the result of your function and try a few other functions
on it, you'll need to use the return statement to simply return a value, like a string, an integer. Check out
the following scenario in which hello() returns a "hello" string while the hello_noreturn() function
returns None:
1. def hello():
2. print("Hello World")
3. return("hello")
4. defhello_noreturn():
5. print("Hello World")
6. # Multiply the output of `hello()` with 2
7. hello() * 2
8. # (Try to) multiply the output of `hello_noreturn()` with 2
9. hello_noreturn() * 2
The secondary part gives you an error because, with a None, you cannot perform any operations.
You will get a TypeError that appears to say that NoneType (the None, which is the outcome of
hello_noreturn()) and int (2) cannot do the multiplication operation. Tip functions leave instantly when
a return statement is found, even though that means they will not return any result:
1. def run():
2. for x in range(10):
3. if x == 2:
4. return
5. print("Run!")
6. run()
Another factor worth noting when dealing with the ‘return expression’ is many values can be
returned using it. You consider making use of tuples for this. Recall that this data structure is very
comparable to a list's: it can contain different values. Even so, tuples are immutable, meaning you can't
alter any amounts stored in it! You build it with the aid of dual parentheses). With the assistance of the
comma and the assignment operator, you can disassemble tuples into different variables.
Read the example below to understand how multiple values can be returned by your function:
1. # Define `plus()`
 2. def plus(a,b):
3.sum = a + b
4.return (sum, a)

5. # Call `plus()` and unpack variables

6. sum, a = plus(3,4)
7. # Print `sum()`
8. print(sum)
Notice that the return statement sum, 'a' will result in just the same as the return (sum, a): the earlier
simply packs total and an in a tuple it under hood!
How To Call A Function
You've already seen a lot of examples in previous sections of how one can call a function. Trying to
call a function means executing the function you have described-either directly from the Python
prompt, or by a different function (as you have seen in the "Nested Functions" portion). Call your new
added hello() function essentially by implementing hello() as in the DataCamp Light chunk as follows:
1. hello()
Adding Docstrings to Python Functions
Further valuable points of Python's writing functions: docstrings. Docstrings define what your
function does, like the algorithms it conducts or the values it returns. These definitions act as metadata
for your function such that anybody who reads the docstring of your feature can understand what your
feature is doing, without having to follow all the code in the function specification. Task docstrings are
placed right after the feature header in the subsequent line and are set in triple quote marks. For your
hello() function, a suitable docstring is 'Hello World prints.'
def hello():
"""Prints "Hello World".
Returns:
None
"""
print("Hello World")
return
Notice that you can extend docstrings more than the one provided here as an example. If you want to
study docstrings in more depth information, you should try checking out some Python library Github
repositories like scikit-learn or pandas, in which you'll find lots of good examples!
Function Arguments in Python
You probably learned the distinction between definitions and statements earlier. In simple terms,
arguments are the aspects that are given to any function or method call, while their parameter identities
respond to the arguments in the function or method code. Python UDFs can take up four types of
arguments:

1. Default arguments
2. Required arguments
3. Keyword arguments
4. Variable number of arguments
 Default Arguments
Default arguments would be those who take default data if no value of the argument is delivered
during the call function. With the assignment operator =, as in the following case, you may assign this
default value:
1. #Define `plus()` function
2. def plus(a,b = 2):
3.return a + b
4. # Call `plus()` with only `a` parameter
5. plus(a=1)
6. # Call `plus()` with `a` and `b` parameters
7. plus(a=1, b=3)
Required Arguments
Because the name sort of brings out, the claims a UDF needs are those that will be in there. Such
statements must be transferred during the function call and are absolutely the right order, such as in the
example below:
1. # Define `plus()` with required arguments
2. def plus(a,b):
3. return a + b
Calling the functions without getting any additional errors, you need arguments that map to 'a' as
well as the 'b' parameters. The result will not be unique if you swap round the 'a' and 'b,' but it could be
if you modify plus() to the following:
1. # Define `plus()` with required arguments
2. def plus(a,b):
3.return a/b
Keyword Arguments
You will use keyword arguments in your function call if you'd like to make sure you list all the
parameters in the correct order. You use this to define the statements by the name of the function. Let's
take an example above to make it a little simpler:
1. # Define `plus()` function
2. def plus(a,b):
3.return a + b
4. # Call `plus()` function with parameters
5. plus(2,3)
6. # Call `plus()` function with keyword arguments
7. plus(a=1, b=2)
Notice that you can also alter the sequence of the parameters utilizing keywords arguments and still
get the same outcome when executing the function:
1. # Define `plus()` function
2. def plus(a,b):
3.return a + b
 4. # Call `plus()` function with keyword arguments
5. plus(b=2, a=1)
Global vs. Local Variables
Variables identified within a function structure usually have a local scope, and those specified
outside have a global scope. This shows that the local variables are specified within a function block
and can only be retrieved through that function, while global variables can be retrieved from all the
functions in the coding:
1. # Global variable `init`
2. init = 1
3. # Define `plus()` function to accept a variable number of arguments
4. def plus(*args):
5. # Local variable `sum()`
6.total = 0
7.fori in args:
8.total += i
9.return total
10.# Access the global variable
11.print("this is the initialized value " + str(init))
12.# (Try to) access the local variable
13.print("this is the sum " + str(total))
You will find that you can get a NameError that means the name 'total' is not specified as you
attempt to print out the total local variable that was specified within the body of the feature. In
comparison, the init attribute can be written out without any complications.
Anonymous Functions in Python
Anonymous functions are often termed lambda functions in Python since you are using the lambda
keyword rather than naming it with the standard-def keyword.
1. double = lambda x: x*2
2. double(5)
The anonymous or lambda feature in the DataCamp Light chunk above is lambda x: x*2. X is the
argument, and x*2 is the interpretation or instruction that is analyzed and given back. What is unique
about this function, and it has no tag, like the examples you saw in the first section of the lecture for
this function. When you had to write the above function in a UDF, you would get the following result:
def double(x):
return x*2
Let us see another example of a lambda function where two arguments are used:
1. # `sum()` lambda function
2. sum = lambda x, y: x + y;
3. # Call the `sum()` anonymous function
4. sum(4,5)
5. # "Translate" to a UDF
 6. def sum(x, y):
7. returnx+y
When you need a function with no name for a short interval of time, you utilize anonymous
functions and this is generated at runtime. Special contexts where this is important are when operating
with filter(), map() and redu():
1. from functools import reduce
2. my_list = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
3. # Use lambda function with `filter()`
4. filtered_list = list(filter(lambda x: (x*2 > 10), my_list))
5. # Use lambda function with `map()`
6. mapped_list = list(map(lambda x: x*2, my_list))
7. # Use lambda function with `reduce()`
8. reduced_list = reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, my_list)
9. print(filtered_list)
10. print(mapped_list)
11. print(reduced_list)
As the name states the filter() function it help filters the original list of inputs my_list based on a
criterion > 10.By contrast, with map(), you implement a function to every components in the
my_listlist. You multiply all of the components with two in this scenario. Remember that the function
reduce() is a portion of the functools library. You cumulatively are using this function to the
components in the my_list() list, from left to right, and in this situation decrease the sequence to a
single value 55.
Using main() as a Function
If you have got any knowledge with other programming languages like java, you'll notice that
executing functions requires the main feature. As you've known in the above examples, Python doesn't
really require this. However, it can be helpful to logically organize your code along with a main()
function in your python code- - all of the most important components are contained within this main()
function.
You could even simply achieve and call a main() function the same as you did with all of those
above functions:
1. # Define `main()` function
2. def main():
3. hello()
4. print("This is the main function")
5. main()
After all, as it now appears, when you load it as a module, the script of your main ( ) function will
indeed be called. You invoke the main() function whenever name == ' main ' to ensure this does not
happen.
That implies the source above code script becomes:
1.# Define `main()` function
2.def main():
 3.hello()
4.print("This is a main function")
5.# Execute `main()` function
6. if __name__ == '__main__':
7. main()
Remember that in addition to the main function, you too have a init function, which validates a class
or object instance. Plainly defined, it operates as a constructor or initializer, and is termed automatically
when you start a new class instance. With such a function, the freshly formed object is assigned to the
self-parameter that you've seen in this guide earlier.
Consider the following example:
class Dog:
"""
Requires:
legs – legs for a dog to walk.
color – Fur color.
"""
def __init__(self, legs, color):
self.legs = legs
self.color = color
def bark(self):
bark = "bark" * 2
return bark
if __name__ == "__main__":
dog = Dog(4, "brown")
bark = dog.bark()
print(bark)
 LISTS AND LOOPS

Lists
list is often a data structure in Python, which is an ordered list of elements that is mutable or
A modifiable. An item is named for each element or value inside a list. Just like strings are defined
like characters between quotations, lists are specified by square brackets ‘[ ]’ having values.
Lists are nice to have because you have other similar principles to deal with. They help you to hold
data that are relevant intact, compress the code, and run the same numerous-value methods and
processes at once.
It could be helpful to get all the several lists you have on your computer when beginning to think
about Python lists as well as other data structures that are types of collections: Your assemblage of
files, song playlists, browser bookmarks, emails, video collections that you can access through a
streaming platform and much more.
We must function with this data table, taken from data collection of the Mobile App Store
(RamanathanPerumal):
Name price currency rating_count rating
Instagram 0.0 USD 2161558 4.5
Clash of Clans 0.0 USD 2130805 4.5
Temple Run 0.0 USD 1724546 4.5
Pandora – Music & 0.0 USD 1126879 4.0
Radio
Facebook 0.0 USD 2974676 3.5

Every value is a data point in the table. The first row (just after titles of the columns) for example has
5 data points:

Facebook
0.0
USD
2974676
3.5
Dataset consists of a collection of data points. We can consider the above table as a list of data
points. Therefore we consider the entire list a dataset. We can see there are five rows and five columns
to our data set.
Utilizing our insight of the Python types, we could perhaps consider we can store each data point in
their own variable — for example, here's how we can store the data points of the first row:
 Above, we stored:

Text for the string as “Facebook.”

Float 0.0 as a price
Text for the string as “USD.”
Integer 2,974,676 as a rating count
Float 3.5 for user rating
A complicated process would be to create a variable for every data point in our data set. Luckily we
can use lists to store data more effectively. So in the first row, we can draw up a list of data points:

For list creation, we:

Separating each with a comma while typing out a sequence of data points: 'Facebook,'
0.0, 'USD,' 2974676, 3.5
Closing the list with square brackets: ['Facebook', 0.0, 'USD', 2974676, 3.5]
After the list is created, we assign it to a variable named row_1and the list is stored in
the computer’s memory.
For creating data points list, we only need to:

Add comma to the data points for separation.

Closing the list with brackets.
 See below as we create five lists, in the dataset each row with one list:

Index of Python Lists

A list could include a broader array of data types. A list containing [4, 5, 6] includes the same types
of data (only integers), while the list ['Facebook', 0.0, 'USD,' 2974676, 3.5] contains many types of
data:

Consisting Two types of floats (0.0, 3.5)

Consisting One type of integer (2974676)
Consisting two types of strings ('Facebook,' 'USD')

list got 5 data points. For the length of a list,

len() command can be used:

For smaller lists, we can simply count the data points on our displays to figure the length, but
perhaps the len() command will claim to be very useful anytime you function with lists containing
many components, or just need to compose data code where you really don't know the length in
advance.
Every other component (data point) in a list is linked to a particular number, termed the index
number. The indexing also begins at 0, which means that the first element should have the index
number 0, the 2nd element the index number 1, etc.

To locate a list element index rapidly, determine its location number in the list and then subtract it by
1. The string 'USD,' for instance, is the third item in the list (stance number 3), well its index number
must be two because 3 – 1 = 2.
The index numbers enable us to locate a single item from a list. Going backward through the list row
1 from the example above, by executing code row 1[0], we can obtain the first node (the string
'Facebook') of index number 0.

The Model list_name[index number] follows the syntax for locating specific list components. For
example, the title of our list above is row_1 and the index number of a first element is 0, we get
row_1[0] continuing to follow the list_name[index number] model, in which the index number 0 is in
square brackets just after the name of the variable row_1.
The method to retrieve each element in row_1:
 Retrieval of list elements makes processes easier to execute. For example, Facebook and Instagram
ratings can be selected, and the aggregate or distinction between the two can be found:

Try Using list indexing to retrieve and then average the number of ratings with the first 3 rows:
ratings_1 = row_1[3]
ratings_2 = row_2[3]
ratings_3 = row_3[3]
total = ratings_1 + ratings_2 + ratings_3
average = total / 3
print(average)
2422346.3333333335
Using Negative Indexing with Lists
There are two indexing systems for lists in Python:

1. Positive indexing: The index number of the first element is 0; the index number of the
second element is 1 and furthermore.
2. Negative indexing: The index number of the last element is -1; the index number of the
second element is -2 and furthermore.
 In exercise, we mostly use positive indexing to obtain elements of the list. Negative indexing is
helpful whenever we want to pick the last element in such a list, mostly if the list is lengthy, and by
calculating, we cannot figure out the length.

Note that when we use an index number just outside of the scope of the two indexing schemes, we
are going to have an IndexError.
 How about using negative indexing to remove from each of the top 3 rows the user rating (the very
last value) and afterwards average it.
row_1 [-1]=rating_1
row_2[-1]=rating_2
row_3[-1]=rating_3
rating_1 + rating_2 + rating_3=total_rating
total_rating / 3= average_rating
print(average)
2422346.33333
Slice Python Lists
Rather than selecting the list elements separately, we can pick two consecutive elements using a
syntax shortcut:
 While selecting the first n elements from a list called a list (n stands for a number), we can use the
list syntax shortcut [0: n]. In the above example, we had to choose from the list row 3 the first three
elements, so we will use row 3[0:3].
When the first three items were chosen, we sliced a portion of the set. For this function, the
collection method for a section of a list is known as list slicing.
List slice can be done in many ways:

Retrieving any list slice we need:

Firstly identify the first and last elements of the slice.

The index numbers of the first and last element of the slice must then be defined.
Lastly, we can use the syntax a list[m: n] to extract the list slice we require, while:
'm' means the index number of both the slice's 1st element; and 'n' symbolizes the index number of
the slice's last element in addition to one (if the last element seems to have index number 2, after which
n is 3, if the last element seems to have index number 4, after which n is 5, and so on).

When we want to choose the 1st or last ‘x’ elements (x represents a number), we may use even less
complex shortcuts for syntax:
a_list[:x] when we need to choose the first x elements.
a_list[-x:] when we need to choose the last x elements.
 See how we retrieve from the first row the first four elements (with Facebook data):
first_4_fb = row_1[:4]
print(first_4_fb)
['Facebook', 0.0, 'USD', 2974676]
From the same row, the last three elements are:
last_3_fb = row_1[-3:]
print(last_3_fb)
['USD', 2974676, 3.5]
In the fifth row (data in the row for Pandora) with elements third and fourth are:
pandora_3_4 = row_5[2:4]
print(pandora_3_4)
['USD', 1126879]
Python List of Lists
Lists were previously introduced as a viable approach to using one variable per data point. Rather
than having a different variable for any of the five 'Facebook' data points, 0.0, 'USD,' 2974676, 3.5, we
can connect the data points into a list together and then save the list in a variable.
We have worked with a data set of five rows since then and have stored each row as a collection in
each different variable (row 1, row 2, row 3, row 4, and row 5 variables). Even so, if we had a data set
of 5,000 rows, we would probably have ended up with 5,000 variables that will create our code messy
and nearly difficult to work with.
To fix this issue, we may store our five variables in a unified list:
 As we're seeing, the data set is a list of five additional columns (row 1, row 2, row 3, row 4, and row
5). A list containing other lists is termed a set of lists.
The data set variable is already a list, which indicates that we can use the syntax we have learned to
retrieve individual list elements and execute list slicing. Under, we have:

Use datset[0] to locate the first list element (row 1).

Use datset[-1] to locate the last list element (row 5).
Obtain the first two list elements (row 1 and row 2) utilizing data set[:2] to execute a
list slicing.
 Often, we will need to obtain individual elements from a list that is a portion of a list of lists — for
example; we might need to obtain the rating of 3.5 from the data row ['FACEBOOK', 0.0, 'USD',
2974676, 3.5], which is a portion of the list of data sets. We retrieve 3.5 from data set below utilizing
what we have learnt:

Using data set[0], we locate row_1, and allocate the output to a variable named
fb_row.
fb_row ['Facebook', 0.0, 'USD', 2974676, 3.5] outputs, which we printed.
Using fb_row[-1], we locate the final element from fb_row (because fb row is a list),
and appoint the output to a variable called fb_rating.
Print fb_rating, outputting 3.5

Earlier in this example, we obtained 3.5 in two steps: data_set[0] was first retrieved, and fb_row[-1]
was then retrieved. There is also an easy way to get the same 3.5 output by attaching the two indices
([0] and [-1]); the code data_set[0][-1] gets 3.5.:
 Earlier in this example, we have seen two ways to get the 3.5 value back. Both methods lead to the
same performance (3.5), but the second approach requires fewer coding, as the steps we see from the
example are elegantly integrated. As you can select an alternative, people generally prefer the latter.
Let's turn our five independent lists in to the list of lists:
app_data_set = [row_1, row_2, row_3, row_4, row_5]
then use:
print(app_data_set)
[

[ ]
List Processes by Repetitive method
Earlier, we had an interest in measuring an app's average ranking in this project. It was a feasible
task while we were attempting to work only for three rows, but the tougher it becomes, the further rows
we add. Utilizing our tactic from the beginning, we will:

1. Obtain each individual rating.

2. Take the sum of the ratings.
3. Dividing by the total number of ratings.
 As you have seen that it becomes complicated with five ratings. Unless we were dealing with data
that includes thousands of rows, an unimaginable amount of code would be needed! We ought to find a
quick way to get lots of ratings back.
Taking a look at the code example earlier in this thread, we see that a procedure continues to
reiterate: within app_data_set, we select the last list element for every list. What if we can just directly
ask Python we would like to repeat this process in app_data_set for every list?
Luckily we can use it — Python gives us a simple route to repeat a plan that helps us tremendously
when we have to reiterate a process tens of thousands or even millions of times.
Let’s assume we have a list [3, 5, 1, 2] allocated to a variable rating, and we need to replicate the
following procedure: display the element for each element in the ratings. And this is how we can turn it
into syntax with Python:
 The procedure that we decided to replicate in our first example above was "generate the last item for
each list in the app_data_set." Here's how we can transform that operation into syntax with Python:

Let's attempt and then get a good idea of what's going on above. Python differentiates each list item
from app_data_set, each at a time, and assign it to each_list (which essentially becomes a vector that
holds a list — we'll address this further):

In the last figure earlier in this thread, the code is a much simpler and much more conceptual edition
of the code below:
 Utilizing the above technique requires that we consider writing a line of code for each row in the
data set. But by using the app_data_set methodology for each list involves that we write only two lines
of code irrespective of the number of rows in the data set — the data set may have five rows or a
hundred thousand.
Our transitional goal is to use this special method to calculate the average rating of our five rows
above, in which our ultimate goal is to calculate the average rating of 7,197 rows for our data set. We
're going to get exactly that within the next few displays of this task, but we're going to concentrate for
now on practicing this method to get a strong grasp of it.
We ought to indent the space characters four times to the right before we want to write the code:

Theoretically, we would only have to indent the code to the right with at least one space character,
but in the Python language, the declaration is to use four space characters. This assists with readability
— reading your code will be fairly easy for other individuals who watch this convention, and you will
find it easier to follow theirs.
Now use this technique to print each app's name and rating:
foreach_list in app_data_set:
name = each_list[0]
rating = each_list[-1]
print(name, rating)
Facebook 3.5
Instagram 4.5
Clash of Clans 4.5
Temple Run 4.5
Pandora - Music & Radio 4.0
Loops
A loop is frequently used to iterate over a series of statements. We have two kinds of loops, ‘for
loop’ and ‘while loop’ in Python. We will study ‘for loop’ and ‘while loop’ in the following scenario.
For Loop
Python's for loop is used to iterate over a sequence (list, tuple, string) or just about any iterate-able
object. It is called traversal to iterate over a sequence.
Syntax of For loop in Python
for<variable> in <sequence>:
# body_of_loop that has set of statements
# which requires repeated execution
In this case < variable > is often a variable used to iterate over a < sequence >. Around each iteration
the next value is taken from < sequence > to approach the end of the sequence.
Python – For loop example
The example below illustrates the use of a loop to iterate over a list array. We calculate the square of
each number present in the list and show the same with the body of for loop.
#Printing squares of all numbers program
# List of integer numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 4, 6, 11, 20]
#variable to store each number’s square temporary
sq = 0
#iterating over the given list
forval in numbers:
# calculating square of each number
sq = val * val
# displaying the squares
print(sq)
Output:
 1
4
16
36
121
400
For loop with else block
Excluding Java, we can have the loop linked with an optional 'else' block in Python. The 'else' block
only runs after all the iterations are finished by the loop. Let's see one example:
For val in range(5):
print(val)
else:
print("The loop has completed execution")
Output:
0
1
2
3
4
The loop has completed execution
Note: else block is executed when the loop is completed.
Nested For loop in Python
If there is a loop within another for loop, then it will be termed a nested for loop. Let's take a nested
for loop example.
for num1 in range(3):
for num2 in range(10, 14):
print(num1, ",", num2)
Output:
0 , 10
0 , 11
0 , 12
0 , 13
1 , 10
1 , 11
1 , 12
1 , 13
2 , 10
2 , 11
2 , 12
 2 , 13
While Loop
While loop is also used to continuously iterate over a block of code until a specified statement
returns false, we have seen in many for loop in Python in the last guide, which is used for a similar
intent. The biggest distinction is that we use for looping when we are not sure how many times the loop
needs execution, yet on the other side when we realize exactly how many times we have to execute the
loop, we need for a loop.
Syntax of while loop
while conditioning:
#body_of_while
The body of the while is a series of statements from Python which require repetitive implementation.
These claims are consistently executed until the specified condition returns false.
while loop flow
1. Firstly given condition is inspected, the loop is canceled if the condition returns false, and also the
control moves towards the next statement in the compiler after the loop.
2. When the condition returns true, the set of statements within the loop will be performed, and the
power will then switch to the loop start for the next execution.
Those two measures continuously occur as long as the condition defined in the loop stands true.
While loop example
This is an example of a while loop. We have a variable number in this case, and we show the value
of the number in a loop, the loop will have an incremental operation where we increase the number
value. It is a very crucial component, while the loop should have an operation of increase or decrease.
Otherwise, the loop will operate indefinitely.
num = 1
#loop will repeat itself as long as it can
#num< 10 remains true
whilenum< 10:`
print(num)
#incrementing the value of num
num = num + 3
Output:
1
4
7
Infinite while loop
Example 1:
This will endlessly print the word 'hello' since this situation will always be true.
while True:
print("hello")
Example 2:
 num = 1
whilenum<5:
print(num)
This will endlessly print '1' since we do not update the number value inside the loop, so the number
value would always remain one, and the condition number<5 would always give back true.
Nested while loop in Python
While inside another while loop a while loop is present, then it will be considered nested while loop.
To understand this concept, let us take an example.
i=1
j=5
while i< 4:
while j < 8:
print(i, ",", j)
j=j+1
i=i+1
Output:
1,5
2,6
3,7
Python – while loop with else block
We may add an 'else' block to a while loop. The section 'else' is possible. It executes only when the
processing of the loop has ended.
num = 10
whilenum> 6:
print(num)
num = num-1
else:
print("loop is finished")
Output:
10

8
7
Loop is finished
 ADDING MULTIPLE VALUED DATA IN
PYTHON

ften the creator wants users to input multiple values or inputs in a line. In Python, users could use
O two techniques to take multiple values or inputs in one line.

1. Use of split() method

2. Use of List comprehension
Use of split() method :
This feature helps to receive many user inputs. It splits the defined separator to the given input. If no
separator is given, then a separator is blank space. Users generally use a split() method to separate a
Python string, but it can be used when multiple inputs are taken.
Syntax:
input().split(separator, maxsplit)
Example:
Output:
 Using List comprehension:
Comprehension of lists is an easy way of describing and building a list in Python. Just like
mathematical statements, we can generate lists within each line only. It is often used when collecting
multiple device inputs.
Example:
Output:
 Note: The definitions above take inputs divided by spaces. If we prefer to pursue different input by
comma (“,”), we can just use the below:
# taking multiple inputs divided by comma at a time
x = [int(x) for x in input("Enter multiple value: ").split(",")]
print("Number of list is: ", x)
Assign multiple values to multiple variables
By separating the variables and values with commas, you can allocate multiple values to different
variables.
a, b = 100, 200
print(a)
# 100
print(b)
# 200
You have more than three variables to delegate. In addition, various types can be assigned, as well.
a, b, c = 0.1, 100, 'string'
print(a)
# 0.1
print(b)
# 100
print(c)
#string
Assign the same value to multiple variables
Using = consecutively, you could even appoint multiple variables with the same value. For instance,
this is helpful when you initialize multiple variables to almost the same value.
a = b = 100
print(a)
# 100
print(b)
# 100
Upon defining the same value, another value may also be converted into one. As explained later,
when allocating mutable objects such as lists or dictionaries, care should be taken.
a = 200
print(a)
# 200
print(b)
# 100
It can be written three or more in the same way.
a = b = c = 'string'
print(a)
 # string
print(b)
# string
print(c)
# string
Instead of immutable objects like int, float, and str, be careful when appointing mutable objects like
list and dict.
When you use = consecutively, all variables are assigned the same object, so if you modify the
element value or create a new element, then the other object will also modify.
a = b = [0, 1, 2]
print(a is b)
# True
a[0] = 100
print(a)
# [100, 1, 2]
print(b)
# [100, 1, 2]
Same as below.
b = [0, 1, 2]
a=b
print(a is b)
# True
a[0] = 100
print(a)
# [100, 1, 2]
print(b)
# [100, 1, 2]
If you would like to independently manage them you need to allocate them separately.
after c = []; d = [], c and d are guaranteed to link to two unique, newly created empty,different lists.
(Note that c = d = [] assigns the same object to both c and d.)
Here is another example:
a = [0, 1, 2]
b = [0, 1, 2]
print(a is b)
# False
a[0] = 100
print(a)
# [100, 1, 2]
print(b)
# [0, 1, 2]
 ADDING STRING DATA IN PYTHON

What is String in Python?

string is a Character set. A character is just a symbol. The English language, for instance, has 26
A characters. Operating systems do not handle characters they handle the (binary) numbers. And if
you may see characters on your computer, it is represented internally as a mixture of 0s and 1s
and is manipulated. The transformation of character to a number is known as encoding, and probably
decoding is the reverse process. ASCII and Unicode are two of the widely used encodings. A string in
Python is a series of characters in Unicode. Unicode was incorporated to provide all characters in all
languages and to carry encoding uniformity. Python Unicode allows you to learn regarding Unicode.
How to create a string in Python?
Strings may be formed by encapsulating characters or even double quotes inside a single quotation.
In Python, even triple quotes may be used but commonly used to portray multiline strings and
docstrings.

When the program is executed, the output becomes:

 Accessing the characters in a string?
By indexing and using slicing, we can obtain individual characters and scope of characters. The
index commences at 0. Attempting to obtain a character from index range will cause an IndexError to
increase. The index has to be integral. We cannot use floats or other types, and this will lead to
TypeError. Python lets its sequences be indexed negatively. The -1 index corresponds to the last object,
-2 to the second object, and so forth. Using the slicing operator ‘(colon),’ we can access a range of
items within a string.
#Python string characters access:
 When we attempt to access an index out of the range, or if we are using numbers other than an
integer, errors will arise.
# index must be in the range
 TypeError: Define string indices as integers only
By analyzing the index between the elements as seen below, slicing can best be visualized.
Whenever we want to obtain a range, we need the index that slices the part of the string from it.
How to change or delete a string?
Strings are unchangeable. This means elements of a list cannot be modified until allocated. We will
easily reassign various strings of the same term.

We cannot erase characters from a string, or remove them. But it's easy to erase the string completely
by using del keyword.
 Python String Operations
There are many methods that can be used with string making it one of the most commonly used
Python data types. See Python Data Types for more information on the types of data used in Python
coding
Concatenation of Two or More Strings
The combination of two or even more strings into one is termed concatenation. In Python, the +
operator does that. They are likewise concatenated by actually typing two string literals together. For a
specified number of times, the * operator could be used to reiterate the string.
 Iterating Through a string
With a for loop, we can iterate through a string. This is an example of counting the number of 'l's in a
string function.
 If we execute the code above, we have the following results:
‘3 letters found.’
String Membership Test
We can check whether or not there is a substring within a string by using keyword in.
>>> 'a' in 'program'
True
>>> 'at' not in 'battle'
False
Built-in functions to Work with Python
Different built-in functions which can also be work with strings in series. A few other commonly
used types are len() and enumerate(). The function enumerate() returns an enumerate object. It includes
the index and value as combinations of all elements in the string. This may be of use to iteration.
Comparably, len() returns the string length (characters number).
 Formats for Python String
Sequence for escaping
We can't use single quotes or double quotes if we want to print a text like He said, "What's there?"
This would result in a Syntax Error because there are single and double quotations in the text alone.
>>>print("He said, "What's there?"")
...
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>print('He said, "What's there?"')
...
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Triple quotes are one way to get round the problem. We might use escape sequences as a solution. A
series of escape starts with a backslash, which is represented differently. If we are using a single quote
to describe a string, it is important to escape all single quotes within the string. The case with double
quotes is closely related. This is how the above text can be represented.
 Once we execute the code above, we have the following results:
He said, "What's there?"
He said, "What's there?"
He said, "What's there?"
Raw String to ignore escape sequence
Quite often inside a string, we might want to reject the escape sequences. To use it, we can set r or R
before the string. Which means it's a raw string, and it will neglect any escape sequence inside.
>>>print("This is \x61 \ngood example")
This is a
good example
>>> print(r"This is \x61 \ngood example")
This is \x61 \ngood example
The format() Method for Formatting Strings
The format() sources available and make with the string object is very flexible and potent in string
formatting. Style strings contain curly braces{} as placeholders or fields of substitution, which are
substituted.
To specify the sequence, we may use positional arguments or keyword arguments.
 The format() technique can have requirements in optional format. Using colon, they are divided from
the name of the field. For example, a string in the given space may be left-justified <, right-justified >,
or based ^.
Even we can format integers as binary, hexadecimal, etc. and floats can be rounded or shown in the
style of the exponent. You can use tons of compiling there. For all string formatting available using the
format() method, see below example:
 Old style formatting
We even can code strings such as the old sprint() style in the programming language used in C. To
accomplish this; we use the ‘%’ operator.

String common Methods for Python

 The string object comes with various methods. One of them is the format() method we described
above. A few other frequently used technique include lower(), upper(), join(), split(), find(), substitute()
etc. Here is a wide-range list of several of the built-in methodologies in Python for working with
strings.

Inserting values into strings

Method 1 - the string format method
The string method format method can be used to create new strings with the values inserted. That
method works for all of Python's recent releases. That is where we put a string in another string:

Shepherd Mary is on duty.

The curved braces indicate where the inserted value will be going.
You can insert a value greater than one. The values should not have to be strings; numbers and other
Python entities may be strings.
 Using the formatting options within curly brackets, you can do more complex formatting of numbers
and strings — see the information on curly brace string layout.
This process allows us to give instructions for formatting things such as numbers, using either: inside
the curly braces, led by guidance for formatting. Here we request you to print in integer (d) in which the
number is 0 to cover the field size of 3:

Method 2 - f-strings in Python >= 3.6

When you can rely on having Python > = version 3.6, you will have another appealing place to use
the new literal (f-string) formatted string to input variable values. Just at the start of the string, an f
informs Python to permit any presently valid variable names inside the string as column names. So
here's an example such as the one above, for instance using the f-string syntax:

Shepherd Martha is 34 years old.

Method 3 - old school % formatting
 There seems to be an older string formatting tool, which uses the percent operator. It is a touch less
versatile than the other two choices, but you can still see it in use in older coding, where it is more
straightforward to use ‘%’ formatting. For formatting the ‘%’ operator, you demonstrate where the
encoded values should go using a ‘%’ character preceded by a format identifier to tell how to add the
value.
So here's the example earlier in this thread, using formatting by ‘%.’ Note that ‘%s’ marker for a
string to be inserted, and the ‘%d’ marker for an integer.

Shepherd Martha is 34
years old.
 MODULE DATA

What are the modules in Python?

henever you leave and re-enter the Python interpreter, the definitions you have created
W (functions and variables) will get lost. Consequently, if you'd like to develop a code a little
longer, it's better to use a text editor to plan the input for the interpreter and execute it with that
file as input conversely. This is defined as script formation. As the software gets bigger, you may want
to break it into different files to make maintenance simpler. You might also like to use a handy function
that you wrote in many other programs without having to replicate its definition inside each program.
To assist this, Python has the option of putting definitions into a file and using them in the interpreter's
code or interactive instances. This very file is considered a module; module descriptions can be loaded
into certain modules or into the main module (the list of variables you have exposure to in a high-level
script and in converter mode).
A module is a file that contains definitions and statements from Python. The name of the file is the
name of the module with the .py suffix attached. The name of the module (only as string) inside a
module is available as the value, including its global variable __name__. For example, use your
preferred text editor to build a file named fibo.py with the following contents in the current working
directory:

In this, we defined an add() function within an example titled “ module.” The function requires two
numbers and returns a total of them.
How to import modules in Python?
Within a module, we can import the definitions to some other module or even to the interactive
Python interpreter. To do something like this, we use the keyword import. To load our recently
specified example module, please enter in the Python prompt.
>>> import example
 This should not import the identities of the functions directly in the existing symbol table, as defined
in the example. It just imports an example of the module name there.
Using the name of the module, we can use the dot(.) operator to access the function. For instance:
>>>example.add(4,5.5)
9.5
Python comes with lots of regular modules. Check out the complete list of regular Python modules
and their usage scenarios. These directories are within the destination where you've installed Python in
the Lib directory. Normal modules could be imported just the same as our user-defined modules are
imported.
There are different ways of importing the modules. You'll find them below:
Python import statement
Using the import statement, we can extract a module by using the dot operator, as explained in the
previous section and access the definitions within it. Here is another example.

Once we execute the code above, we have the following results:

The value of pi is 3.141592653589793
Import with renaming
We can load a module in the following way by changing the name of it:

We called the module Math as m. In certain instances, this will save us time to type. Remember that
in our scope, the name math is not identified. Therefore math.pi is incorrect, and m.pi is correctly
implemented.
Python from...import statement
We can import individual names from such a module without having to import the entire module.
Here is another example.
 In this, only the pi parameter was imported from the math module. We don't utilize the dot operator
in certain cases. We can likewise import different modules:
>>>from math import pi, e
>>>pi
3.141592653589793
>>>e
2.718281828459045
Import all names
With the following form, we can import all terms (definitions) from a module:
# import all names from standard module math
from math import *
print("The value of pi is," pi)
Above, we have added all of the math module descriptions. This covers all names that are available
in our scope except those that start with an underscore. It is not a good programming technique to
import something with the asterisk (*) key. This will lead to a replication of an attribute's meaning.
This also restricts our code's readability.
Python Module Search Path
Python looks at many locations when importing a module. Interpreter searches for a built-in module
instead. So if not included in the built-in module, Python searches at a collection of directories
specified in sys.path. The exploration is in this sequence:
PYTHONPATH (list of directories environment variable)
The installation-dependent default directory
 We can insert that list and customize it to insert our own location.
Reloading a module
During a session, the Python interpreter needs to import one module only once. This makes matters
more productive. Here is an example showing how that operates.
Assume we get the code below in a module called my_module:

Now we suspect that multiple imports have an impact.

>>> import my_module
This code was executed:
>>> import my_module
>>> import my_module
We have seen our code was only executed once. This means that our module has only been imported
once.
Also, if during the process of the test our module modified, we will have to restart it. The way to do
so is to reload the interpreter. But that doesn't massively help. Python offers an effective way to do so.
Within the imp module, we may use the reload() function to restart a module. Here are some ways to do
it:
>>> import imp
>>> import my_module
This code executes
>>> import my_module
>>>imp.reload(my_module)
This code executes
<module 'my_module' from '.\\my_module.py'>
The dir() built-in function
We may use the dir() function to locate names specified within a module. For such cases, in the
example of the module that we had in the early part, we described a function add().
In example module, we can use dir in the following scenario:

Now we'll see a list of the names sorted (alongside add). Many other names that start with an
underscore are module-associated (not user-defined) default Python attributes. For instance, the
attribute name contains module __name__.
>>> import example
>>>example.__name__
 'example'
You can find out all names identified in our existing namespace by using dir() function with no
arguments.

Executing modules as scripts

Python module running with python fibo.py <arguments>the program will be running in such a way,
just like it was being imported, but including the __name__ set to "__main__." That implies this
program is inserted at the end of the module:
If __name__ == "__main__": import sys fib(int(sys.argv[1]))
You could even create the file usable both as a script and as an importable module since this code
parsing the command - line interface runs only when the module is performed as the "main" file:
$ python fibo.py 50
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13
When the module is imported, the code will not be executed:
>>>
>>> import fibo
>>>
It is most often used whether to get an efficient user interface to a module or for test purposes (the
module runs a test suite as a script).
“Compiled” Python files
To speed up loading modules, Python caches the compiled version of each module in the
__pycache__ directory with the name module.version.pyc, in which the version encapsulates the
assembled file format; it normally includes the firmware version of Python. For instance, the compiled
edition of spam.py in CPython launch 3.3 will be cached as __pycache__/spam.cpython-33.pyc. This
naming convention enables the coexistence of compiled modules from various updates and separate
versions of Python.
Python tests the source change schedule against the compiled edition to see if it is out-of-date and
needs recompilation. That's a fully automated system. Even the assembled modules become platform-
independent, so different algorithms will use the same library between systems. In two situations
Pythoniswill not check the cache:
➢ First, it often recompiles the output for the module, which is loaded explicitly from the
command line but does not store it.
➢ Second, when there is no root module, it will not search the cache. The compiled module must
be in the source directory to facilitate a non-source (compiled only) release, and a source module
should not be installed.
 Some tips for users:

To minimize the size of a compiled file, you can use the -O or -OO switches in the
Python order. The -O switch erases statements of assert, the -OO switch removes
statements of assert as well as strings of doc. Although some codes may support
getting these options available, this method should only be used if you are aware of
what you are doing. "Optimized" modules usually have such an opt-tag and are tinier.
Future releases may modify the optimal control implications.
A project run no faster once it is read from a.pyc file than how it was read from a.py
file; just one thing about.pyc files that are faster in the speed with which they will be
loaded.
A compile all modules can generate .pyc files in a directory for all of the other
modules.
More details on this process are given in PEP 3147, along with a flow chart of the
decision making.
Standard Modules
Python has a standard modules library, mentioned in a separate section, the Python Library allusion
(hereafter "Library Reference"). A few modules are incorporated into the interpreter; that provide direct
exposure to processes that are not component of the language's base but are nonetheless built-in,
whether for effectiveness or to supply access to primitive operating systems such as source code calls.
The collection of these modules is an alternative to customize and also relies on the framework
underlying it. The winreg module, for instance, is only available on Microsoft windows. One particular
module is worthy of certain interest: sys, which is integrated into every Python interpreter. The sys.ps1
and sys.ps2 variables classify strings which are used as primary and secondary instructions:
>>>
>>> import sys
>>> sys.ps1
'>>> '
>>> sys.ps2
'... '
>>> sys.ps1 = 'C> '
C>print('Yuck!')
Yuck!
C>
Only when the interpreter is in interactive mode are those two variables defined. The sys.path
variable is a collection of strings that defines the search path for modules used by the interpreter. When
PYTHONPATH is not a part of the set, then it will be defined to a predefined path taken from either the
PYTHONPATH environment variable or through a built-in default. You can change it with regular list
procedures:
>>>
>>> import sys
>>>sys.path.append('/python/ufs/guido/lib/')
Packages
 Packages are indeed a way to construct the namespace of the Python module by using "pointed
names of the module." For instance, in a package called A., the module title A.B specifies a submodule
named B. Even as the use of modules prevents the writers of various modules from stopping to know
about the global variable names of one another, any use of dotted module names prevents the
developers of multi-module bundles like NumPy or Pillow from needing to worry more about module
names of one another. Consider making a series of lists of modules (a "package") to handle sound files
and sound data in an even manner.
There are several various programs of sound files usually familiar with their extension, for example:
‘wav,.aiff,.au,’ though you'll need to build and maintain a massive collection of modules to convert
between some of the multiple formats of files. There are several other different operations that you may
like to run on sound data (such as blending, adding echo, implementing an equalizer function,
producing an optical stereo effect), and you'll just be writing an infinite series of modules to execute
those interventions. Here is another feasible package layout (described in terms of a hierarchical file
system):

While loading the bundle, Python checks for the packet subdirectory via the folders on sys.path. To
allow Python view directories that hold the file as packages, the __init__.py files are needed. This
protects directories with a common name, including string, from accidentally hiding valid modules,
which later appear mostly on the search path of the module. In the correct order; __init__.py can only
be a blank file, but it could also implement the package preprocessing code or establish the variable
__all__ described below
 Package users could even upload individual modules from the package, such as: ‘import
sound.effects.echo’
This loads the ‘sound.effects.echo’ sub-module. Its full name must be mentioned:
‘sound.effects.echo.echofilter(input, output, atten=4, delay=0.7)’
Another way to import the submodule is: ‘fromsound.effects import echo’
It, therefore, launches the sub-module echo and provides access but without package
prefix: ‘echo.echofilter(input, output, atten=4, delay=0.7)’
And just another option is to explicitly import the desired function or attribute:
‘fromsound.effects.echo import echofilter’
This again activates the echo sub-module however this enables its echofilter() feature
explicitly accessible: ‘echofilter(input, output, delay=0.7, atten=4)’
So it heaps the sub-module echo; however this tends to make its function; remember that the object
will either be a sub-module (or sub-package)of the package or any other name described in the package,
such as a function, class or variable while using from package import object. Initially, the import
statement analyses if the object is characterized in the package; otherwise, it supposes that it is a
module and makes an attempt to load it. Once it fails to reach it, an exception to ‘ImportError’ will be
promoted.
Referring to this, while using syntax such as import ‘item.subitem.subsubitem’, each item has to be a
package, but the last one; the last item could be a module or package, but this cannot be a class or
function or variable identified in the previous item.

CONCLUSION

Research across almost all fields has become more data-oriented, impacting both the job
opportunities and the required skills. While more data and methods of evaluating them are becoming
obtainable, more data-dependent aspects of the economy, society, and daily life are becoming.
Whenever it comes to data science, Python is a tool necessary with all sorts of advantages. It is flexible
and continually improving because it is open-source. Python already has a number of valuable libraries,
and it cannot be ignored that it can be combined with other languages (like Java) and current
frameworks. Long story short -Python is an amazing method for data science.

 INTRODUCTION

ut of many misconceptions, one that surrounds many markets is options

O are risky. Well, if you ask an options trader, he won’t agree to this. The
reason is if options trading were risky, it would have been an obsolete
concept in the market. Why are more and more traders and investors jumping
into this business?
There is just fear that makes people think that options are not profitable.
All you need to do is grab all the concepts carefully and apply them when
needed. Moreover, make sure you pick the right strategy and at the right time.
"Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass
grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas." - Paul
Samuelson
Have some patience since investment is no joke! According to a ballpark
estimate, a beginner needs at least one to two years to become a highly
successful trader.
You can rely on this beginners’ guide book on options trading that
contains all the basic concepts, tips, techniques, solutions related to options
trading. Read the theory carefully and then implement the concepts given in it
one by one. Here is an authentic mantra to options trading:
Whenever you make a trading strategy, think it through at least three times
before your final call – this is the real recipe to success!
 1.OPTIONS TRADING BASICS

“Never invest in a business you cannot understand,” says Warren Buffett,

the famous American Investor, and we agree to him! That’s why we shall
start from scratch for you in this book.
n this chapter, you will learn the basics of Options Trading with examples.
I We suggest you take notes of the new concepts you come across in here so
you could absorb more than expected.
Here is a Pro Tip: Focus on the concepts and terms given in this. This will
help you grab the basics really well. So, shall we start?
What Options Trading is?
At first, options trading looks overpowering, but it is very easy to
understand if you start from scratch. By that we mean if you start from
concept to concept.
Basically, traders’ portfolios are created with different asset categories.
For instance, they may be ETFs, stocks, mutual funds, and bonds, etcetera.
Options are sort of an asset category with many frills. Meaning, they can give
you more benefits than ETFs and stocks.

Uses of Options
Options can make a trader powerful. It is because they can add to a
trader’s income, leverage, and protection. For every investor, there is an
option scenario present. For instance, one can use options as a beneficial
hedge against a falling stock market in order to limit the losses. They can also
be utilized to make recurring earnings. Besides, options are also used for
‘speculative purposes’ like betting on the movement of stocks, etcetera.
With bonds and stocks, there isn’t anything such as free lunch. Options are
also not different. It involves risk, and investors should be well-aware of this.
Derivatives
Derivatives are considered as a ‘bigger’ group of securities – and options
belong to them. A derivative’s price is ‘derived’ from something else. For
instance, ketchup is the derivate of tomatoes, and fries are the derivative of
potatoes. Similarly, a stock option is the derivate of stocks, while options are
derived from financial securities.
Some of the examples of derivate include puts, calls, mortgage-backed
securities, futures, swaps, forwards, and more.
So, what you understand by options?
• Options are basically contracts. They allow buyers the rights (not
obligations) to purchase or sell (in case of a call or put) a specific asset
at a certain price or before specified expiry date.
• Investors use them for generating income, hedging risks, or
speculating.
• They are called derivatives. The reason is options derive their value
from underlying assets.
• A (stock option) contract typically has 100 shares of (an underlying)
stock, but they may be written on any type of underlying asset from
currencies, bonds to commodities.
Options Trading Characteristics
All Options Expire
Remember, all options expire one day. This means they ‘DIE’ after the
expiration day. This expiry could be after two days or two years. Meaning,
traders need to think about the expiry time before buying an option.
Stocks can be held for life, on the other hand.
All Options Have a Strike Price
There is a ‘strike price’ for every option. This is the prince in which an
option can be converted into ‘shares of stock.’ For instance, if there is a strike
price set for an option at $109. You can use the option to buy/sell shares of
stock at this strike price.
Option Contract Multiplier
Let us suppose there is a share of stock with a price of $105. It can be
purchased at $105. When an option is $6.00, It CANNOT be purchased at
$6.00. you would rather need $600 to buy this.
 The reason is options can be traded with 100 shares of stock. Meaning,
you need to multiply an option price with 100 to attain its ‘premium.’
Types of Options
Options trading has immense upward potential with limited risk. There are
two main types of Options.
• Call Options
Call option price shows an upward movement when the stock price
increases, and it starts to go down when the stock price goes down. Meaning,
you can say that it is directly proportional to stock prices.
Call Option Price moves with the Stock price!
One can share 100 shares of stock with the strike price of a Call Option.
Let us suppose that there is a rental apartment, and its price is $200,000. You
want to purchase this apartment, thinking that its value will be doubled after
some time. However, you do not want to pay the full price of this apartment.
What to do?
You can purchase a ‘Call Option’ for this apartment. This option will
allow you to make this purchase (of amount $200,000) in 24 months. But this
process will involve a contract, and you will have to pay for that contract.
This financial contract is known as ‘Option.’
So, the strike price of this option will be $200,000 with the expiration date
of 24 months. The advantage of this is if the apartment price rises during this
period, it won’t affect you (you will not have to pay extra on that).
Now, let us imagine that the opposite happens. The price of the apartment
does not increase in value. Rather it decreases after 24 months to $150,000.
In this case, you are not forced to buy the apartment because you have the
option not to buy it. With the decreased price of $150,000 in mind, you will
not opt to purchase it at the strike price of $200,000.
Since you paid for the contract at a minimal price (the contract), you only
lose that. Now compare this loss with the option to buy the house by paying
the full price at once. You would have lost $200,000 or (at least $50,000),
wouldn’t you?
What is Call? What is Put?
 A call option allows an investor the right to purchase stock, while the put
option allows him to sell it. Here is an example of the Call option. A person
may be interested in purchasing a new apartment in a new building under
construction near his locality. However, he would only want to pay for it
once the construction work is complete.
That person can take advantage of his purchase option. Through option, he
can purchase it from the owner in the next four years at (let us say) $400,000
as a down payment. This cost will be called “premium.”
Here is a put example. Suppose you buy a home, and with that, you also
purchase a homeowner’s insurance policy. This policy helps to protect your
property against damage. You have to pay a premium for this for a fixed
period of time. This premium is highly valuable, and it helps to protect the
insurance holder in case of a home accident.
Suppose, instead of an apartment, your asset was index investment or
stock. So, if a trader wants to buy insurance on his S & P 500 Index, he can
buy put options.
Suppose again that you foresee bear market in the future, and you do not
want to lose more than 10 or 11 percent in that Index. If the Index trades at
$2800 (for instance), you can buy a put option, which will make you eligible
to sell the Index at $2550 at any point before the expiration date.
This will help reduce your loss. Even if the market drops at zero, your loss
would not be more than 10 percent, in case you hold the put option.
Buying and Selling
Options allow you to do four things:
• Sell Calls
• Sell Puts
• Buy Calls
• Buy Put
Keep these four scenarios in mind because this is important when you
enter the trading business. Purchasing stock offers a long position for
investors. But buying a call option can extend your position (it can make it
even longer). Short selling offers a shorter position. In an underlying stock,
selling an uncovered call also gives a short position.
Similarly, buying puts also makes a short position for you in the
underlying stocks. While selling naked puts offers you a longer position.
Remember that buyers of options are known as holders, and sellers of
options are known as option ‘Writers.’
1. There is no obligation on call and put holders to buy or sell. They have
their rights. The only risk for them is to spend money on buying premium.
2. However, it is important to call and put writers to buy and sell in case
their option expires. This means they can make more, but they also have a
higher risk level than holders.
 2. WHY TRADE WITH OPTIONS

ptions trading first started in 1973. They can give a lot of benefits to
O individual traders, though they have a reputation for being risky. Well,
you must be thinking, what are those benefits, aren’t you? Here is the
answer to this.
The Benefits of Options Trading
Although options have been around for quite a time now, most investors
still ‘fear’ using them. The reason is less information and incorrect use.
Meaning, if you have good knowledge of all the basics of options (like we are
providing here), you are more likely to succeed as an investor.
Individual investors should be aware of the correct usage and benefits of
options before blindly following the rumors that options are ‘risky.’
Options have Low Risk
Some situations call for high risk for buying options than having equities.
However, there are also scenarios when using options trading becomes the
best strategy. This also depends on how properly you use them. Options need
low financial commitment than equities. Moreover, they are impervious,
which promises less risk.
Another quality of options is compared with stocks; options are safer.
They are protected by stock-loss order. This order helps to halt losses under a
predetermined price indicated by the trader. However, the nature of the order
also matters a lot.
Let us suppose a trader purchases a stock investing $50. He does not want
to lose more than 10 percent; he places a $45 stop order. It becomes a market
order when the stock trades below this price. This order can work during the
daytime, not during night time.
For instance, stocks close at $51, but the next day, you hear bad news
about stocks like the company owner lies about earnings or there is
embezzlement noted. Stocks might open down at $20. If this happens, this
price would be the first trade below the investor’s stop order price. The trader
would sell at this price ($20), locking in the loss.
For his protection, if the trader had bought the put, he would not have
suffered from that loss. Options do not close when the market goes down and
closes. This happens with stop orders. Meaning, stop orders close if the
market shuts down.
Options keep the traders covered 24/7. Stop orders cannot provide
insurance 24 hours. This is why options are considered as a ‘dependable form
of hedging.’
Options are More Cost-Effective
With greater leveraging power, options can help save you a lot of money.
You can attain an option position the same as you obtain a stock position. To
buy 200 shares of a stock worth $80, you have to pay $16,000, for instance.
But if you want to buy double calls worth $20 (representing 100 shares
contract), the total expenditure would be $4000. How?
Try this formula: 2 contracts multiply by 100 shares divided by contract x
$20 price in the market. You will have an additional $12,000 for use at your
discretion.
Although this is not so simple, it requires a good understanding and good
strategy. You will need to pick the right call at the right time to buy for
mimicking the stock position in the correct manner. This strategy is known as
Stock Replacement, which is not only viable but also cost-effective and
practical.
Let’s suppose you want to buy Schlumberger (SLB, thinking that it might
increase in value in the next few months. You think you should buy 200
shares and the company is trading at $131. So, your overlay would be
$26,200.
Instead of investing such a heavy amount, you could pick options to mimic
the stocks and buy a call option called, August – using only a $100 strike
price for $34.
If you want to acquire a position equal to the size of 200 shares that are
mentioned above, you need to purchase double contracts. Your total
investment for this would be $6,800, instead of $26,200. (Here is how:
double contacts x 100 shares/contract x market price of $34). You can also
get interested on this or use your money for another investment.
 Options Offer Higher Returns
Options trading promises higher percentage returns. Traders do not need a
calculator to find this. They can invest a low amount and get a higher amount
back.
Let us consider the above use case to compare the return on investment.
Traders need to purchase stocks for $50 and an option for $6. Suppose
options price changes by 80 percent (of the stock price). If stocks move up to
$5.5, a trader will get a 10 percent return. But the option would gain 80
percent of the stock price of $4.5. A return of this kind on $6 investment
amounts to 67.5 percent, which is much better than a 10 percent profit on
stocks.
More Alternatives with Options
Traders can find more investing alternatives with options. They are highly
flexible. There are many strategies to recreate synthetic option positions.
These positions offer investors a plethora of ways to obtain their
investment goals. Besides synthetic positions, options have many other
alternatives. For instance, many investors work with brokers who charge a
little margin for shorting stocks. Other traders work with them (brokers) who
do not wish to short stocks.
The incapability to do the downside when required limits traders and
investors. However, no broker can rule against traders for buying puts in
order to ‘play the downside.’ This is a big benefit for investors.
Options also allow traders to trade the ‘third dimension’ of the market.
Interestingly, they can even trade-in ‘no direction,’ stock movements, and
during volatility. Mostly, stocks do not show ‘big’ moves; but investors have
the edge to trade in stagnation too. Thus, options can only offer multiple
alternatives that can give them profit in all types of markets.
Why Options are a Better Choice?
Still, if you want to know why options are a better choice, read this out:
Hedging
The main purpose of inventing options was hedging. It helps to reduce
risk. So, take options as your insurance policy. Like you insure your car and
home, options can ensure your investment in case of a downfall movement.
Suppose a trader wants to buy something related to tech stocks. But he also
wants to limit his loss. The trader can do these easy throughput options,
which give him two benefits: minimize risk and maximize profit. Short
selling can also reduce loss at the time of a downturn.
Speculation
The ability to predict the future price is speculation, as its name hints. You
might think that the price of a stock would go down in a day, based on
technical or fundamental analysis. He might sell the stock or sell put after the
speculation.
This has got an attraction for many investors to call options because it
offers leverage. A call option (out of the money) may cost only some cents of
a few dollars compared to the $100 stock’s full price.
How does Options Trading work?
When weighing option contracts, it is important to determine the future
probabilities. Options get costlier when there is higher predictability in the
future. For example, when a stock value rises, the call value also increases.
This is crucial to understand the value of options.
A shorter expiry means a lower value of an option as the chances of price
rise diminish as the expiry comes near. If a trader purchases an out-of-money
1-month option, while stocks do not move, it losses its value. It is because
time is money when it comes to options trading. This wasting con of options
is called ‘time decay.’
Similarly, if a trader buys an option with a longer expiry; the chances of
price movement for that option becomes brighter and brighter as there is
enough time for the price to get bigger.
The price also goes up with volatility. When the market is uncertain, the
odds get higher. If an asset’s volatility goes up, price swings maximize the
probability of substantial movements both up and downwards.
Higher price swings also up the chances of an occurring event. It means,
the higher the volatility, the greater the options price. Volatility and options
trading essentially linked to each other in a way.
On many exchanges, a stock option allows you to buy/sell 100 shares. This
is why you should multiply your premium with 100 to get the final amount.
Check out this Example of Investment Table:
June 1 June 21 Expiry Date
Stock Price $67 $78 $62
Options Price $3.15 $8.25 No Value
Contract Value $315 $825 $0
Paper Loss/Gain $0 $510 -$315

Most of the time, holders make profits by closing out their positions.
Meaning, a holder sells their option; while a writer buys his position back for
closing. Not more than 10 percent of the options are executed, and 60 percent
are closed (traded out), while 30 expire without having value.
In options, fluctuations can be understood by “time value” (intrinsic and
extrinsic value). Their premium is the combination of time value and its
intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is the sum above the strike price.
Time value indicates the added value a trader needs to pay above the
intrinsic value. This is time value or extrinsic value. Therefore, the option
price in the above example can be considered as:
Time Value + Intrinsic = Premium
$0.25 $8.00 $8.25

In practical life, Options trade at (some level above) the intrinsic value. It
is because the chances of an event’s happening can never be absolutely zero –
even if it is never in the cards!
Types of Options
There are two major types of options: American and European. The first
type can be exercised at any time between the purchase date and expiry.
Moreover, Us-based options have a higher premium. The early use feature
commends this.
But European options can only be exercised on and near their expiry date.
Most of the options on the exchanges belong to the second type.
There is also another type called Exotic Options that are actually a variety
of payoff profile from vanilla options. Exotic options are typically meant for
professional investors. Other types of options include Binary, Asian, Knock-
out, Barrier, and Bermudan Options.
Options Liquidity & Expiry Time
There is another way to categorize options – by the time duration. Short
term options expire with 12 months. Long term options have a greater expiry
time. They are known as LEAPS or Long-term Equity Anticipation
Securities. They are like regular options with typically longer time duration.
Options can also be categorized by their expiry time. Many option sets
expire on Fridays, every week, every 30th or 31st of a month, and on a daily
basis. There are also quarterly based expiries for ETFs and Index Options.
How to Read Options Table?
It is not possible to do options trading and lack the know-how of reading
options tables. Here is how you can read the options table without difficulty.
• You will notice a term “Volume (VLM)” in the table. It indicates the
total number of contracts traded in the most recent session.
• You will also hear ‘Bid’ and ‘Ask.’ A bid is the most recent price at
which the traders wish to purchase an option. While an ‘ask’ is the most
recent price at which the market wishes to sell an option.
• Implied Bid Volatility (IMPL BID VOL) refers to uncertainty in speed
and direction of price in the future.
• Delta is the predication or probability. For instance, there are 30
percent chances of expiration of a 30-delta.
• Open Interest (OPTN OP) signifies the grand total of contracts for a
specific option. OPTN OP reduces when the open trade closes.
• Gamma (GMM) is called the speed of an option. It can also be called
the movement of delta or predication.
• Vega and Theta are two Greek values used in Options trading tables.
Vega represents the amount at which an option price is likely to change.
Theta represents the degree of value downward change in an option price
during a passing day.
• The ‘strike price’ is a term used for price at which someone buys/sells
underlying security if wishes to use options.
 3. MAJOR OPTION TRADING CONCEPTS

ptions trading is a term that is used in stock exchange the simple

O definition of options trading is that ‘it is the contract between two parties
in which the stock option buyer(holder) purchases the right but not the
obligation to buy or sell shares of the underlying stock at a predetermined
price from/to the option seller (writer) within a fixed period.’
Options offer alternative systems that allow the investor to take advantage
of the exchange and trading underlying protections. There are different types
of procedures, including different mix options, hidden resources, and
different derivatives.
A question will come into your mind that why a person needs options
trading at all, options trading is the most efficient method used in the stock
exchange and it predates the modern stock exchange by a large margin.
So, one must not think that it is just a scam created by some group of
people to manipulate minds to earn money because whenever a common
person thinks to invest money in the stock exchange he or she is confused by
terms like these, so let us tell you that what options trading is.
History of Option Trading
Some believe that it was the Greeks who gave the idea of option trading.
Long before the modern world, humans were trying to decide the prices of
different goods, and that’s how different methods of trading were introduced
into the world.
Let us revise from scratch here…
We will give you a simple example to understand what options trading is
but for you to understand we want you to focus on the example with an
empty mind, for example, you want to buy stocks for $s 4000 and you go to
the broker, but the broker gives you an exciting offer that you can buy stocks
for $s 4000 now, or you can give a token of 400 and reserve your write to
buy it at $s 4000 after a month, And even if stock increases in value at that
time. But the token amount will be non-refundable.
Now you think that it is possible that the stock will increase its price to
4020 at that time and you can even buy it after the increase in price, and since
you have only paid 400 so you have the rest of the money to use elsewhere.
Now you can wait easily for a month and decide by acknowledging the stock
prices after a month that if you want to buy the stock or not.
Now, this is what you all an oversimplification, and this is options trading.
In the world of trading, options are used as instruments, just like a musician
needs a different instrument to get the perfect song; a broker needs options to
make a perfect sale. And its price is mostly derived from stocks.
We assure you that if you read the article to the end, you will perfectly
know what option trading is, and we will also tell you different strategies
used in options trading.
Risks In Options Trading?
Most strategies that are used by options investors have limited risk but also
limited profit, so options trading isn’t a method that will make you rich
overnight.
Options trading may not suit all types of investors, but they are among the
most flexible of investment choices.
Options in investment are most likely used to reduce the risk of a drop in
stock prices, but a little risk is involved in every type of investment. Returns
are never guaranteed investors look for options to manage risks for ways to
limit a potential loss.
Investors may choose to take options because the loss is limited to the
price you pay for the token money. And in return, they gain the right to buy
or sell stock at there at their desirable price, so options in trading benefit a lot
to the investors.
Different Strategies Used In Option Trading
Traders often know very little about strategies used in options trading and
jump to trading options, knowing the different strategies may lower the risk
of potential loss in the market, and traders may also learn to limit the risk and
maximize the return. So with a little effort, traders can learn how to take full
advantage of the flexibility and power that stock options can provide.
Stock VS Option
One must think that why is there a need to trade in options when someone
can trade simply too this thought confuses many of us so here is the answer
The options contract has an expiration date, depending on what type of
options you are using. It may be in weeks, months, or even in years unlike
stock, because the stock has no expiration date.
Stocks are usually defined by numbers, but on the other hand, there are no
numbers in options.
Options drive their value from something else. That’s why they fall into
the derivative category, unlike stocks.
Stock owners have their right in the company (dividend or voting)on the
other hand options have no right in the company
Some people may find it difficult to understand the method of options
though they have even followed it in their other transaction, for example (car
insurance or mortgages).

Option Practicing Method
1. Stocks are purchased, and the investor sells call options on the same
stock which he has purchased. The number of stock shares you have
 purchased should match the number of call options you have sold.
2. After buying the stock shares, the investor buys put options to gain
equal shares. Married acts as an insurance policy against short-term losses
call options with a specific strike price. At the same time, you will sell
similar call options at a higher strike price.
3. An investor purchases an option with cash from outside, while
simultaneously works an out of the cash call choice for a similar stock.
4. The investor purchases a call option and a put choice simultaneously.
The two alternatives ought to have a similar strike cost and expiry date.
5. The Investor purchases the call option out of cash and the put choice
simultaneously. They have a similar termination date; however, their
strike cost is extraordinary. The expense of the information strike ought to
be not exactly the expense of the call strike
Strategies for option trading
Options traders use several strategies to make a profit from this business.
The different ways of strategies are used to get profit, which involves using
the many alternatives and combinations. The most common strategies are
covered calls, iron condors, buying calls, and buying puts. Option trading
provides advanced strategies.
Buying calls
Buying calls or long call strategy is used when an investor increasingly
buys calls and sets an option on the exact underlying asset with fixed date
and price. The investor uses this strategy when they are feeling bullish and
confident in an increase in some stock price. In this type, the investor
increases the risk as he can face a huge profit or loss, but it's always unknown
which way the stock goes.
Buying puts
Usually, the investor uses this strategy when they are bearish on some
stock; for example, the investor is confident in a particular stock and had a
good understanding of stock but doesn’t want to take a huge risk, so he uses
short selling strategy.
The put option gets an increase in value when the price of the asset falls.
As the market falls, the profit increase in short selling. The risk is not
confirmed as the trades return with leverage. But on the off chance that the
basic Ascent past the option prices, then the option will expire uselessly.
Covered calls
This strategy provides a small change in the price, the profit is not that big,
but the risk it involves is less. The covered call buys 100 shares of stock and
then sells one call option per 100 shares. Covered call strategy gives a chance
of profit to the investor and also reduce the risk. The share is protected by
this call when the price of the stock decreases.
Iron condors
In this strategy, the trader sales a put buys another for a low price and uses
them to buy a call then sell the call at a high price after some time. If the
stock price is kept somewhere between two puts or calls, then we make a
profit. The loss comes with possibilities, one if the price increase suddenly
and the other is if the price decrease suddenly, it is spread that causes this
condition. This strategy is used by neutral traders or in a neutral place.
Several other strategies are used, which are:
• Broken butterfly
• Iron butterfly
• Jade lizard
• Bear call
• Calendar spread
• Protective put

The Worth of Option Trading

When we buy a bike or car, we want to protect them; the insurance is used
for the safety of the car. So just like insurance, the option gives us safety. We
invest money and buy shares now we want to protect our investment, for this
we use options.
The option provides us good protection of our money. For example:
We bought the 100 shares at the rate of 150 dollars, which Worth 15000.
We have invested and now have the risk of a decrease in price. We buy the
option to remove risk from our shoulders, and the guy gets paid now assume
the risk. We buy the put option for 500 dollars. If the stock increases with the
rate of 170, we will get the profit, even buying an option of 500.
But if the stock price decreases with the rate of 130, we still are stable, the
loss won’t affect us as we have the contract on the option which has the same
price. We can sell the shares at the same rate we bought, so in that case, by
using the option trade, the chance of loss is very low. It provides a lot of
ways to gain profit in trading.
Option Trading VS Stock Trading
An option trading is not stock trading. Well, both of them are trading, but
they are quite different. Many people don’t even know about the options
trading; it's just another type of trading. Few things make the difference
between the option trading and stock trading, here is these point.
• In options trading, the value is taken by someone else and had a contract
with it. It does not get the values on its own. This is completely different
from stock trading. Option trading belongs to the derivative category.
• In stock, the numbers are definite, but an option, the numbers are not
definite.
• The options trading use the contract, which has the expiration date, the
person has no meaning after the expiry date. The date can be in months or
years according to the option there are using. Stock trading has no
expiration dates.
• In options trading, the owner has no right in the company. They have no
affair of any kind related to the company. In stock share, they had the
rights to the company.
Risk in Option Trading
The risk involves in option is not as much as people think. Trading does
involve risk. Its procedures work along with the risk. In option, the risk can
contain only in few things.
• The options trading use many strategies with these strategies. Each has
its own risk. The few options work on the spontaneous increase and
decrease process. This sometimes gives a big loss to the investor.
• The option involves a lot of complexity. This trading is bot difficult to
understand. The strategies its self are complex. Those who are a beginner
in option do not understand it well and invest the money with the little
knowledge which results in a loss.
• The other problem with the options trading is that it has the expiration
 date, which can cause you all you invest if the contract expires. This is
one big factor in this trading.
Option Account
For option trade, you need an options account. Before you make an
account, you need to fill the agreement with your broker. The broker will
know your investment and your trade. He will generate the strategy according
to the level of trading you want. The broker will guide you about options
trading and its policies.
What Is An Option Account?
The account that is used to access the option trade is an options account.
The broker gives access to the user for an options account. For all the trading,
the brokerage account is used; it does the selling and buying. After giving all
details, you will be able to open the account.
The broker tells the two type of account which you want to open, the real
money and demo money account. After all the procedures, your account will
ready for trading.
The Right Broker

with an authentic source. The information you provide him should be
protected. Always check the payment and its cost. Aim for the right option.

investment into profit. So it requires strong knowledge and experience to
make some big profits and avoid loss.
 4. OPTIONS TRADING MYTHS AND
MISCONCEPTIONS

here are many myths and misconceptions related to the term “Options
T Trading” not only in the stock market but also for the general public.
Options trading is known to be risky; according to Mike Bellafiore, the
Co-Founder of CMB trading, “Trading is a sport of survival, reinvention, and
perseverance, even for the successful trader.”
Indeed, in the stock market or business, there is no such thing as
assurance; there is always a risk involved with putting your money into
something. The stock market or business is always about numbers and good
strategies. If your strategies and numbers are right, you are in it for the long
haul; otherwise, you will end up with nothing.
The winner of U.S. Investing Championship in 1984 Martin S. Schwartz
says,
“A lot of people get so enmeshed in the markets that they lose their
perspective. Working longer does not necessarily equate with working
smarter. In fact, sometimes it's the other way around.” in a trading business,
you can use your shortcomings or failures for your future benefits as well;
according to Brett Steenbarger, an active trader and a Ph.D. scholar, “we will
never be perfect as traders. That’s what keeps us ever-learning, ever-growing.
Our main challenge is to use our shortcomings as inspirations, fueling
continuous improvement.”
There are many myths and misconceptions about trading.
Misconception #1 Trading and Gambling are same
The first and the most common one is trading and gambling are the two
sides of the same coin. In trading, a trader goes through all the present, past
data, and numbers whether gambling is a game of available odds.
Trading is about technical analysis you look into the details, risks, profit,
gain, and the market, whereas gambling is based on fundamental values. You
put in your money in what you might think will happen. Also, gambling is an
addiction, illegal, and also very toxic for your mental health and behavior.
 Misconception #2 Should only invest in Call and Put Option
Options are the type of contract that allows the buyer to purchase or sell
the underlying asset. To simplify it, the trader purchases a call option if he is
expecting the demand of the underlying asset to rise within a certain deadline,
and the trader opts for a put option if he is expecting the demand of the
underlying asset to fall within a certain time period.
It is a misconception about the call and put option that it is the only
profitable way of trading options, but in reality, the buying of calls and puts
is highly risky in trading because you can never be sure about the demand of
the underlying asset for that you need the proper analysis of the direction it is
moving, its time frame and size of the move. You can analyze the size and
the direction right, but if your options have expired before the move happens,
then you may lose money.
Misconception #3 Option selling is more profitable
Option selling is basically giving someone the right, but not the obligation,
to make you purchase 100 shares of a stock at a strike price before the
expiration date. In simpler terms, they are basically paying to increase their
flexibility, and you pay to decrease your flexibility. So when you are selling
options, you are not only using the money in your brokerage, but you are also
in debt. Option selling can be profitable if you play right by the rules, but
there is also high risk involved in it.
Misconception #4 Put Option expire worthlessly
Option expiring worthless is when options expire from your trading
account and cease to exist. There are a lot of misconceptions about 90 percent
of the option expiring, but according to the report by The Chicago Board
Options Exchange (CBOE), approximately, only 30% of the options expire
worthlessly. 60% of the option positions are closed before their expiration,
and 10% of the options are exercised.
Secondly, options expiring worthless, only work against the option buyers,
but option writers still get their profit if the put option has expired.
Misconception #5 Option trading is a zero-sum
This is one of the oldest myths about option trading. It says that if a buyer
wins, then the seller has to lose. But no, that is not true at all!
Options are given to manage the risk. They do not give you anything of
value other than the choice to buy or sell assets. When you use options to
hedge your risk, you are transferring your risk to someone else who is willing
to hold on to it. So the options trading is not a zero-sum game.
Misconception #6 Options trading is easy
There is another misconception about options trading that people assume it
is easy. According to the Charles Faulkner trader and an author he says
“After years of studying traders, the best predictor of success is simply
whether the person is improving with time and experience” you need years of
experience, learning the market and its resources completely and strategies
then you can be a successful trader.
Trading is rarely about “luck” its all about good hand-on knowledge.
People do not mostly have an in-depth knowledge of the options trading or
stock market. It is more than just investing the money. All the experts in
trading business have years of experience and knowledge, and they even use
their failures as a weapon for their future success.
Misconception #7 Trading in Tax-deferred account
There is a common misconception about using traditional or IRA accounts
for the trading option because they both will ease up the tax advantage, and It
could be a perfect retirement plan, but there are certain limits to it. You can
only invest to a certain limit through your tax-deferred account. You cannot
use the money before retirement. After five years, you are only able to
withdraw the income.
 5.TOP OPTIONS TRADING STRATEGIES

he options trading utilizes a few strategies for financial specialists to

T benefit from trading. The various methods of strategies are utilized to get
profit, which includes utilizing the numerous other options and
combinations.
The alternative exchanging gives advance techniques. These systems help
financial specialists to increase the most extreme benefits. The top strategy is
used for different levels of trading. Many popular trading strategies are used
in the market. These strategies are well known in trading and have numbers
of users. The following are the top option trading strategies.
Buying calls
Purchasing calls or long call methodology is utilized when a financial
specialist progressively purchases calls and sets a choice on the specific
hidden resource with fixed date and cost. The investor expects more leverage
than just owning the stock. The financial specialist uses this procedure when
they are feeling bullish and certain about increment at some stock cost. The
confidence of the investor prepares them to pick this option strategy.
In this sort, the speculators increment the hazard as he can confront the
gigantic benefit or loss, but it’s consistently obscure what direction the stock
goes. If the stock goes up, the investor will get the profit, and if the shares
price decrease, then the investor will face a big loss. Even the most
experienced traders face loss at some point, but that does not mean it will
only give loss.
The profit in it usually covers the loss of investors. For example, If the
investor wants to buy a developing house, then he will purchase the buy call
option by doing this he can pay the same price according to the contract as
the cost of a house is 200,000 now as when the development will be
complete, the cost of the house will be increased.
Suppose the price of the house incredibly increased after 2,3 years, and
now the house is worth 400,000. The investor will pay the same amount,
although its price in the market is double because of the option he can pay the
same amount of 200,000 as written on the contract. The only thing the
investor will be worried about is the expiration date.
Buying puts
In this options trading strategy, the investor has the legal right to sell the
shares at the given price. The date is also fixed at a certain time. The buying
puts give more authority to the investor.
Normally, the financial specialist utilizes this strategy when they are
bearish on some stock; for the model, the speculator is positive about the
specific stock and had great comprehension of stock yet wouldn't like to face
an immense challenge, so he utilizes short selling procedure.
The put choice gets increment in esteem when the cost of benefit falls. As
the market falls, the benefit increment by short selling. The chance isn't
affirmed as the trade return with leverage. But if the fundamental Ascent past
the choice value, then the alternative will terminate pointlessly.
Mostly the traders are sure that the market will fall. They purchase the
share to sell it at a certain time as they have the right to do so, the values of
share increase when the stock moves towards the other direction. It is a
simple way to gain profit.
If you want the insurance on your shares in stock, you can buy a put
option. If the investor has a share of 500 dollars, and he realized the market
would lose the value. They can sell there share at a reduced price of about
475 dollars. The loss is reduced in this way.
Covered call
This strategy provides a small change in the price, the profit is not that big,
but the risk it involves is less. The covered call buys 100 shares of stock and
then sale one call option per 100 shares. Covered call strategy gives a chance
of profit to the investor and also reduce the risk.
The share is protected by this call when the price of the stock decreases. In
this strategy, the seller of the call option possesses the related amount of
underlying instrument. In the covered call option, you can buy stock and sell
the call option on Out of money(OTM).
The term buy-write is referred to when the call been sold at the same time
with the purchase of stock. We get a small amount for call sales when we pay
for stock shares. We have to sell calls to generate income in it. This option
needs direct investment and calls to sell.
The investor uses this option strategy when they think the price will not
further increase. We have to hold a long position. The chance of profit is low
as the increase in price is not expected.
Suppose, the stock was trading at $200 on May 20th, 2014; The Leg 1 Buy
100 portions of the stock for $ 200 and Leg 2: Sell the 206 strikes June 26th,
2014 Call for $7.30, Lot size – 100 offers
The sum paid to take these two positions approaches - the Stock cost paid
less call premium got, for example, $. 20,000 (Stock buy) – $ 730 (Premium
got) = $ 19,270
If the stock value ascends over the call strike of 206, it will be worked out,
and the stock will be sold. In any case, the methodology will make a benefit
since you are secured by the stock you own.
State, the stock cost at termination is $ 210.
In the event that the stock falls beneath the underlying stock price tag, your
long position is at a misfortune. However, you have some pad from the call
premium got by selling the call.
State, the stock falls and is at $ 190 on the lapse
Iron condors
In this strategy, the trader sales a put buys another for a low price and uses
them to buy a call then sell the call at a high price after some time. If the
stock price is kept somewhere between two puts or calls, then we make a
profit.
The loss comes with possibilities, one if the price increase suddenly and
the other is if the price decrease suddenly, it is spread that causes this
condition. This strategy is used by neutral traders or in a neutral place. This is
a simple options strategy.
The iron condors option does not require a big investment to start a trade;
you can start the trade with a minimum amount. The investor relies on the
stock to stay at some particular point. It is a small strategy that involves risk,
but the investor invests in a small amount to maintain the risk.
Consider the stock is trading at the cost of $120, executing an Iron Condor
trading procedure we will: Sell $100 Strike Put for $3.0 Sell $140 Strike Call
for $3.0
With an expectation that the cost will stay inside these two strike costs that
we booked so, we make a benefit. In any case, because of the danger of
boundless misfortune, we would ensure our situations by Buy Strike Put for
$90 Buy Strike $160 Call for $ 2.
Bear calls
This option works on the procedure of sale and buy. The investor sells the
call option and then purchases the calls at a high strike rate. This option uses
the investment of the trader to get the profit income. The procedure works on
limited levels. It uses two legs. These work on a 1:1 ratio to make the net
credit.
Even though this is not a Bearish Strategy, it is actualized when one is
bullish. It is generally set up for a 'net credit,' and the expense of buying call
choices is financed by selling an 'in the cash' call choice. For this Options
Trading Strategy, one must guarantee the Call alternatives have a place with a
similar expiry, the equivalent hidden resource, and the proportion is kept up.
It, for the most part, ensures the drawback of a Call sold by safeguarding
it, for example, by purchasing a Call of a higher strike cost. It is fundamental,
however, that you execute the system just when you are persuaded that the
market would be moving essentially higher.
The investor is expecting a small decrease in the stock. They sell the calls
and then purchase the calls at high strike. The option works better when the
volatility is high. The expiration date is good enough to handle things. The
traders don’t waste the expiry date, as it is important for the trading. The
investor uses the long term to execute the process.
If the market is expecting the rise in stock, then the traders sell the one
strike call and then buy another at the higher strike. The investor gets the
profit by the amount of cost.
If the stock is expecting a sudden rise, then they sales the call and then buy
the new ones which they even buy at a high rate, but instead of loss they gain
profit, and then they buy more calls.
Jade lizard
In this options trading strategy, the traders sell short calls and put, and the
underlying assets should not move. The cost collect in the results is great. All
the options have the same expiration date. It minimizes the risk and
maximizes the reward. Trading options maximize the risk in one direction.
The jade lizards option are a sort of Options Trading Strategy which is
rehearsed by Traders to pick up benefit from their exchanges
If there should arise an occurrence of Straddles and Strangles, Lizards
diminish the upside hazard. They are most valuable when basic stays or floats
toward the strike. High benefits are created in high IV and non-bearish
situations. This neutral strategy involves short calls and short put spread. It is
a slow strategy; it does not increase suddenly. It uses the call cost and puts
the cost at high volatility.
Let’s suppose that the investor accepts this trade is a drawback chance. In
the event that ABC stock moves above £25 per share, the financial specialist
would lose $£1 on the call spread, yet gains £1.10 from the premium gathered
for a net addition of £0.10.
The investor benefits from the exchange, except if the cost of ABC moves
underneath the strike cost of the bare put by more than the top-notch that is
gathered. In this model, the stock cost would need to dip under £18.90.
Collar option
It is similar to the covered call but has extra protective puts to protect the
value of security between 2 bounds. The Collar Options Trading Strategy can
be built by holding portions of the hidden all the while and purchasing put-
call alternatives and selling call choices against the held offers.
One can support the expected drawback in the offers by purchasing the
fundamental and, at the same time, purchasing a put alternative beneath the
current cost and selling a call choice over the current cost. Buy one put option
than lower the limit for protection; sell the call option at the upper limit.
Both must have the same expiration date and the quantity. The call and put
options are out of money. The underlying assets price expired at a strike price
of the short call option. The instability is surprising when the market is
unstable at the point when the cost of an alternative ascent, there is a
likelihood that the cost may fall and you may miss out on the benefit.
In such a case, the advantage should be secured. The option protects the
losses a lot and decreases the chances of all loss, but with all the protection,
sometimes it reduces the profit.
Let us guess that stock value rises to Rs 50In this case; the trader would
have understood the estimation of his stock holding rise to (100*50) = Rs
5000.
As he is the seller of the Call option, he anticipated that the cost of the
fundamentals should fall. In any case, its cost has, in certainty, risen. The
Call option purchaser will practice his privilege and will purchase the Call
alternative at the strike cost of 48, which is lower than the cost of the
fundamental that is 50. So the option seller got (48*100) = Rs 4800 by selling
the Call option.
For a Put alternative purchaser, an option is in the cash if the strike cost is
higher than the cost of the hidden. For this situation, as the strike cost of 43 is
not exactly the CMP of the hidden, which is 50, and along these lines, the
option is rendered useless for him.
Net benefit from the exchange = Rs 5000 – Rs 4800+500 - 300 = 400
Diagonal spread
The diagonal spread option strategy uses many strikes and months. It
works with the combined bits of a long call spread and a short call spread.
Diagonal spread moves diagonally and also the names.
The option is presented in different rows and columns. In this options
trading strategy, the short terms are sold, and long terms are bought. A
transient shortcoming or Strength that you think would go up or go down
once more, at that point, to the advantage of it.
The system is controlled on the short-side for risk, and if the market plays
smoothly, it can become open-finished on the long side.
At the point when executed for cash, it permits edge necessities to be met.
The investment is at high risk when it works quickly in our way. The
diagonal spread has its setup, which we have to follow.
• The equal number of options is required.
• The options must have the exact underlying security.
• The options in the diagonal spread should have the same class.
• The different expiry dates are used.
• The two different strike prices.
 In the diagonal spread, the bullish long call diagonal spread purchases the
option with the lower strike rate and longer expiry date then sells the short
date option with high strike rates.
Butterfly
The broken wing butterfly option is a bit similar to the butterfly trading
strategy, but In this trading strategy, the calls and puts are much similar to
directional strategy rather than the butterfly strategy.
Its sides have a different level of risk; the risk is different on each side.
Usually, the profit occurs if the underlying expires at the short strike price.
The broken wing butterfly option provides more profit than the butterfly
option.
Futuresmag merits the credit for begetting the "Broken Wing Butterfly,"
an amazing option in contrast to the Butterfly, where the objective is starting
an exchange at zero expense.
It is an amazing options trading which expands on the positive attributes of
a Butterfly Spread. Dissimilar to the Long Butterfly, where one needs to pay
another charge, Broken Wing Butterfly Strategy is a net credit procedure,
frequently rehearsed to build the likelihood of benefit.
Broken Wing Butterfly Strategy is equivalent to a Butterfly in which the
sold spread is regularly more extensive spread than the bought spread. It has
the similarity of long butterfly spread having the same strikes that are not
much different from the short strike. It works when the option has all the puts
or all the calls.
For example, the stock is trading at Rs100. You buy one 120 calls on
ABC, you sell two 105 calls in ABC and purchase one 100 calls in ABC, So
you get the net credit of Rs. 10.
 6.TOP QUALITIES OF A SUCCESSFUL
OPTIONS TRADER

key, there would be a lot more people making trading money’ – Victor
Sperandeo

of a call) and when he wants to sell (the case of a put) but he is not bound to
buy or sell the certain asset at a specific price, as the name ‘Options’ suggest.
The trader is also not bound to trade in some specific time. He has the total
choice of what and when he wants to trade.
Why people tend to go for options trading?
Options can provide better income than any other job. It is not much
different than the stock exchange. It is just like your own business; all you
have to do is predict where the market and stock rates are going. You have to
take a risk, but the income will be higher than you have thought. The end
results can give a shock as market rates keep on changing every minute.
Top Qualities of a Successful Options Trader
Just like in any other business, there is a huge risk of loss. Every other
person cannot be a good businessman. Many people have weak patience
level, they lose their heart, and on failure, they leave the business or sell at a
low price without giving another try.
The one who buys that at a low price takes it to another level. Similarly,
everyone cannot be a good trader. Being a successful trader demands certain

control over your mind and hold your nerves while doing the business.
Records Management
If you keep a record of whatever you do, next time you will be able to
avoid the mistake you have made previously, and you will be able to see
where you have gone wrong.
This habit will provide you information on your wealth to improving your
odds of success. By keeping the records, you will be able to make up your
previous losses. Records will also help you keep track of profit/losses for tax
purposes, if applicable.
A Good Planner
Everyone has their own strategy (like the way of doing things). Some
people tend to go for short sales and make multiple sales in a day. Others hit
their luck after a long time and make a large amount by a single sale.
Even if they perform a single sale in a week, they can earn more than the
one who makes many sales in a day. Once you find the right strategy for
yourself, you have to stick with that strategy. It is crucial which strategy you
are choosing for yourself. It is because in options trading, the right strategy
and technique to trade will take you to the top, and the wrong will do the
opposite.
Consistency
Nothing other than small chunks can be earned without consistency. You
have to give a lot to achieve a lot. In the case of options trading, you have to
invest your time to achieve experience. The more experience you get, the
more you learn.
Like you learn when and where to put your money; and when to draw it
out. Many people get back when they see smaller earnings, not knowing that
smaller steps lead towards greater steps.
Learning from Failures
Just as most businessmen lose their money, similarly, every trader also
faces losses. This is just part of the game! But a successful trader doesn’t give
up on his loss and try to avoid loss in the future from the experience he
gained from his previous loss.
Then a time comes when he has learned every possible reason leading to
his loss. In the future, he can cover up his previous losses by avoiding the
same mistake.
News Interpretation
The traders must be able to interpret the news. If you are good at
interpreting the news, you will have the exact knowledge to predict which is
the product will give profit and when. If you can predict the future, you’ll be
able to raise your income by investing in a certain product.
You’ll also be able to predict when to buy or sell the product to maximize
your profit. Some news is just the hype; you have to be able to differentiate
between the real news and the hype.
Do not Follow What Others are Doing
 Everyone has their thinking. But once you come to the trade business, do
not rely completely on others’ strategies. In order to be a successful trader,
you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. You have to be limitless
and be yourself. You may come out of your comfort zone, but following your
own passion will be the key to success. Your willingness to take risks will
benefit you in being yourself.
Patience
Being a successful options trader demands a lot of patience. You have to
be able to wait until; it’s the right time to perform the action. It means, if you
have to put your money into something, you have to wait until you think; it is
the lowest price for a certain product. Similarly, while selling, you have to be
patient until it reaches the highest amount of profits.
If you are not patient while trading; a huge loss may be on your way!
Flexibility
The rates of market changes every day; you have to be able to learn the
changing dimensions of the market. You have to learn about the changing
trends of the market and adopt newer strategies.
You have to be well aware of the relevant news and always believe
yourself as a learner. You have to accept the losses as loss in any field of
work is inevitable. You have to accept wherever the market is going, whether
it suits you or not.
Risk Management
In options, you are playing in millions, so there is a huge risk. You have to
manage how much risk you can bear at a certain time. Being limitless does
not mean you have to forget about what you are risking while putting your
money. If you allot a certain capital to an investment, you may be able to
avoid a higher risk of loss but, the greater the risk, the greater will be the
gains or losses.
Conclusion
If you have these certain skills or qualities, one day, you will be the most
successful trader of the options trading. Just be patient and have consistency
in your work. The doors of success will keep opening for you. The most
important thing is believing in yourself; if you take larger risks and have
belief in yourself, there is nothing you cannot do.
7. HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT OPTION FOR
A MAJOR GAIN

tarting from simple purchases to more complicated spreads like

S butterflies, options have a plethora of strategies. Moreover, they are
available for a bigger range of currencies, stocks and commodities, futures
contracts, and exchange-traded funds.
Often, there are hundreds of expiries and strike prices for each option. This
poses a challenge for the novices to select the best option out of many. Here
is how you can do that like a pro.
Look for the Right Option
Imagine, you already have an asset in mind that you wish to trade on, like
a commodity. You picked it from stock screener through your insight and the
insight of others (e.g. research). Regardless of the selection technique, after
identifying your asset for trading, you need to follow these steps to achieve
your goal.
• Frame your purpose of investment
• Determine your payoff
• Analyze volatility
• Recognize events
• Make a Strategy
• Launch parameters of options
These steps follow a logical process, which makes it easy to select the
right option to trade on. Let us breakdown what these steps reveal.
Frame your Purpose
The base of getting into the trading business is finding the purpose of
investment. Why do you want to start options trading? What is the purpose
behind this? Do you want to make real money, or is it just a side-business?
Ask yourself these questions. Make a notebook and write all the answers that
you have.
Now you might be thinking, why so? It is because you need to be clear on
this point. Using options to make real money is very different as compared to
purchasing them for speculating or hedging.
This is your first step, and it will form the foundation for other steps. So,
buckle up!
Trader’s Payoff
In the second step, determine your risk and reward payoff. This should be
dependent upon your appetite or tolerance for risk. Know your type – like if
you are one of the conservative traders, using aggressive strategies for
options trading might not be suitable for you. These strategies include
purchasing deep out-of-money options in large quantities or writing puts
etcetera.
Each strategy has a well-made risk and reward profile. You have got to
keep an eye on it. And do not forget to assess your payoff at the end of the
day!
Analyze Volatility
It is one of the most crucial steps in options trading. You have got to
analyze implied volatility for sure. Compare it to the history of options stock
volatility, plus the volatility level in the market.
This allows you to know about the thinking of other traders. Whether they
expect the stocks to move fast or up in the future or not, if there is high
volatility, there will be a higher premium too. In this case, options writing
will be more suitable for you.
A lower rate of implied volatility means there will be lower premium –
good for the purchase of options (if you think that the stocks will move more
and so their value will increase as well).
Recognize Events
There are two main types of events: stock-specific and market-wide. Stock
specific events include types like spin-offs, product launches, and earnings
reports, etcetera. Market-wide events, on the other hand, are those that have a
huge role in broad markets like economic data releases and Federal Reserve
Announcements.
It is important that you know and recognizes each event type. Since they
have a huge impact on implied volatility and, thus, can have a great impact
on the price when it occurs. Recognizing events before they can help traders
to make a bigger profit, determine the right time and the appropriate
expiration date for your trade.
Make Your Strategy
The first four steps allow you to see clearly the way to your options trading
business. Now you are in a good position to devise your own plan after
knowing the events, implied volatility, risk, and reward pay off and your
investment goal.
Suppose a conservative trader with a good portfolio wishes to earn
premium within some months. He should then use the covered call “writing”
technique to achieve his goal. While an aggressive investor who foresees
market decline within some months should purchase puts on main stocks so
on.
Launch Parameters
After the fifth step is clear on your mind, try to launch parameters. For
instance, you should establish the expiration time, option delta, and strike
price, etcetera. Let us say a trader wants to buy the longest expiration date
call. But he also wants to pay a low premium on it. In this case, the out-of-
the-money call is the most appropriate for him. But for a high delta call,
focus on in-the-money option.
In short, follow the given steps to make a good profit and establish
yourself as a professional options trader in the market. Determine your
objective of investment, analyze your risk and reward, assess volatility, think
about the happenings, make your strategy, and then tailor your options
parameters.

strategies, you can earn above 100,815$ through options trading. Learning
the right strategies, knowledge about risks, learning the market, multiplying
the profit, and building wealth will help you make more money with options

Earning Money with options trading in 2020
We have enlisted some special Options Trading techniques that could help
you understand and earn money better through Options Trading.
Recap
Before really getting into the business, you need to recap what options
trading really is, what its terms are, and how it’s done with minimum risks
involved. In simple terms, options trading is buying and selling options
contracts.
Options trading does not allow you to vote or receive dividends or
anything else a (partial) owner of the company can do. It is just a contract
between you and some other party that grants you the right to purchase (i.e.,
"call option") or sells (i.e., "put option") stock of a company at a certain
price.
It is one of the most basic 'leveraging' tools available to investors who are
looking to increase their potential profit by accepting the increase in risk that
always comes attached to it.
There are some essential key terms that are normally used in Options
Trading:
Stock
A stock option is a contract between the company and the stock option
buyer to buy or sell 100 shares of the company at a determined amount
within a certain time period.
Expiration
In options trading, there is a contract involved, and each contract has an
expiration date. You can buy or sell your options before the expiration date,
but once it crosses the expiration date, the contract has no value to it. In that
case, only an option writer can earn.
Strike Price
A strike price is a price at which the commodity or asset is to be bought or
sold when the option is exercised. For example, if the strike price is XYZ
dollars for a call option, then you could exercise your contract by purchasing
the identified stock at the strike price.
Premium
Options Premium is the price to be paid by the party who is purchasing the
right buy/the right to sell, to the party that is selling the right to buy/the right
to sell, as a premium to enter into a contract for the risk of the option being
exercised if the contract is in the money, that the writer (seller) of option is
bearing while entering into the option contract. It depends on the strike price,
the volatility of the underlying, and expiration date.
Call and Put Option
In options trading, there is a call and Put option A call is when you buy or
purchase a stock and put is when you sell a stock. You can buy or sell a stock
before the expiration date.
Underlying Asset
The underlying asset is reference security (stock, bond, futures contract,
etc.) on which the price of derivative security like an option is based. For
example, options are derivative instruments, meaning that their prices are
derived from the price of another security. More specifically, options prices
are derived from the price of an underlying stock.
Option Style
An option contract is made up of two different styles; American style or
European style. Options can be practiced in a particular way, and both styles
allow you to practice them differently. American style options can be used
any time before expiration, whereas European style options can only be used
on expiration dates itself.
Contract Multiplier
The contract multiplier states the quantity of the underlying asset that
needs to be delivered in the event the option is exercised. For stock options,
each contract covers 100 shares.
Relative Value
Selling a commodity at a higher price than the buying price and purchasing
at a lower price than the market or what you sold it as.
Making Money with Options Trading in 2020
 Option traders use different strategies to evaluate the trade. A list of tools
is included in the process of evaluation.
The list might include; analysis, history, statistics, stability, debt,
dividends, etc.
With a little reading, a trader can easily minimize his risk of losing his
investment. Here are the top 10 strategies of how to make money through
options trading:
Naked Call
A naked call is an options strategy in which an investor sells (a call option)
without the security of owning the underlying stock.
Covered Put
A covered option is a strategy where the stock is bought or owned, and an
option is sold. The underlying stock is bought, and simultaneously writes–or
sells–a call option on those same shares. The Covered Put also has a higher
profit in case the stock moves down to the strike price of the short puts.
For example, an investor uses his call option (buys) on a stock that
represents 100 shares of stock per call option. For every 100 shares of stock
that the investor purchases, they will sell one call option against it. This
strategy is referred to as a covered call because, in the event that a stock price
increases rapidly, this investor's short call is covered by the long stock
position.
The formula for calculating maximum profit is:
Max Profit = Premium Received - Commissions Paid
Max Profit Achieved When Price of Underlying <= Strike Price of Short
Put
Making most out of options
Options are like a business; not everyone can achieve high wages or
income. To be a successful businessman, you need a certain type of mindset,
few skills, and a little capital. While discussing how to make money through
options, we don’t have to only look onto physical strategies but also mental
and indirect strategies.
Indirect Strategies:
 Record keeping
Keeping proper records of your progress is really helpful for a successful
practical life as well as for business. In options, you can track your progress,
the weaknesses, and the reasons for these weaknesses. It will help you to
learn from your mistakes and avoid them in the future.
Stay aware
Technology keeps on developing every day; each day, we see new
innovation. To walk with others and avoid staying behind them, you must
have access to the latest news and updates about technology and stay ready
for what is coming next.
Stay updated
To be a successful options trader, you have to be updated on what is going
on in the stock market and how and when prices are going to change. This
way you will be able to predict the prices of the market and plan your move
accordingly to avoid losses
Mental strategies:
Managing the risk
It is a famous saying, “Cut your coat according to the cloth.” Applying this
on options, you have to agree that don’t put all your money into one product.
Only invest as much amount for which you can bear the risk.
Managing time
No one can force you to put or call the money in a certain product until
you yourself want to do so. Look for the perfect time to do so, invest only
when you know it is a perfect time. The most important thing is patience. But
keep track of the expiration date.
Separate practical and business life
To make progress as an options trader, never mix up your emotions with
your business. If you are going through something bad in real life and getting
frustrated, mind taking a break. A fresh mind can think well than the mind
busy in solving other issues. Options trading is the game of the mind, so take
a break and come back when you are relaxed.
These are the few physical, mental, and indirect strategies that we have
discussed above. Hope, this will take you to the heights of success and make
most out of options.
 8. IMPORTANT TIPS & TRICKS ABOUT
OPTIONS TRADING

n option trading is a part of trading that allows you to trade your market
A expectations while also control the risk that you are going to participate
in this trading with. Now, if you get a better a clearer idea of how to
rightly perform options trading, there are no limitations to it. This means that
you can trade various strategies and seek profit in all sorts of market
conditions.
However, this options trading doesn’t mean that you have to trade the
strategies of your complex trading options to seek profit from them. Instead,
you can spend your money more effectively to gain profit by simply
replacing your regular trading positions with the help of options.
A Little Insight:
With the start of 2020, the options trading activity has achieved a drastic
increase. Now, if we calculate the increase in the options contracts in this
year up until now, an estimation of a 53% increase has been calculated – in
comparison to that of the same time last year. Hence, there can certainly not
be a better time to head onto the trading options activity – if you’re thinking
about it.
However, understanding the trading options strategies and how it can be
performed properly is very important. Therefore, even if you’re a pro in
trading, it’s important to know the major and important tips regarding options
trading. Now, these strategies and tips may change according to the
conditions and criteria of the market.
But to give you a consistent answer of how you can firmly perform options
trading, we’ll discuss some tips below that might just do the trick. So without
further ado, let’s go ahead and discover some such tips!
Follow a Well Defined Exit Plan
Controlling your emotions while trading options can be crucial in terms of
helping you achieve great profits. This crucial step can be defined by simply
having a plan to work and always sticking to it. This way, you are well aware
of the outcome you desire when following that plan, and you can surely
achieve it. So no matter how much your emotions force you to change your
mind and forget our plan while you’re on it, make sure you don’t!
Now when you make a well-defined plan, you can’t miss on the exit
planning here too. This exit plan doesn’t mean that you are supposed to
minimize your loss in terms of facing the downside of options trading. But
instead, having a well-defined exit plan and a downside exit plan in advance
can help you get out of the trade at the right time – even if the trade is going
right according to your plan.
This is very important because options trading is an activity that faces a
decay in the rates when the expiration date starts coming closer.
Educate Yourself
Trading options can be a complex activity in comparison to simply buying
and selling stocks. And if you don’t understand this activity well, there are
chances that you might not be able to get anywhere in it. However, if you
keep seeking knowledge and experience in this, you’ll be better aware of how
you can invest here and gain profit.
Now to get started in this, you need to have a proper assessment of your
investment plan. This assessment can include your individual goals, the risk
constraints, the time horizon, tax constraints, and the liquidity needs you
have.
Don’t Double Up for Past Losses
If you are thinking of doubling on an options strategy just because you
want to cover your past loss, then you’re surely not going to get far with this.
A simple reason for that is that options in options trading are simply
derivatives, and their prices properties aren’t the same as the underlying stock
holds them.
Therefore, even if it sometimes makes sense to double up just so that you
can catch up on the loss you faced earlier (and because you follow this in the
stocks), it doesn’t mean that it will also serve you with profit when you’re in
the options galaxy.
Hence, instead of enhancing your risk, you should simply step back and
close the trade. This way, you can cut more of your losses that might further
come in the same trade, and simply go for a different opportunity. As a result,
instead of digging deeper into the specific options category, you will be
accepting your loss and saving yourself from a bigger downfall.
Manage Your Risk
Now the most important aspect here is the risk of the options trading. So
when you go for options trading, you must understand how much risk you
can take. Whether you’re a beginner or someone who has been in the options
trading for a while, having a certain risk assessment that you can handle is
very important.
Once you have that, you can look into the different methods that can help
you manage your risks. Now to manage the risks, you can go for different
options throughout the life of the options contract – to manage the risks.
These different options include:
Closing a Trade: this mainly refers to taking an offsetting position in the
trade. So if you have purchased a call option in trading options, you can
simply set the call option and close the trade for managing the risk on time.
Allowing an Option to Expire
This can be possible when a contract in trading options has reached its
expiration date without being worked on. Here, you can also purchase or sell
a call or put, according to the contract.
Roll out an Option
This is mainly the process of managing risk by simply closing an option
that is near to the expiration date, and then simultaneously investing in a
similar category of trade that has a distant expiration date.
Assignment
Lastly, another strategy of managing the risks in trading options is to
simply go for an assignment. This is possible when you sell an option by
simply receiving or delivering the shares that lie under the stock of that
option.
Finally
Now trading options are quite a familiar trading aspect for many, but most
of the new traders aren’t very familiar with it. However, achieving great
profits and success in trading options is something anyone can achieve. Only
if you educate yourself in this, gain some experience, and righty follow
efficient tips and tricks (as mentioned above) – you are sure to go far in
trading options.
 9. IMPORTANT FAQS OF OPTIONS TRADING

e tried to include all the basic and important frequently asked questions
W regarding options trading. Hope they help you understand the options
trading better and if not. You can post your inquiries in the comment
section.
Is there any definition of options?
Options are derivatives that are supported on the value of underlying
securities such as stocks.
Options are putting down your money for the right to buy a stock at a
specific price before its expiration date. There are two types of options;
options buy or sell.
When an investor takes part in options, s/he is either buying or selling an
options contract and is making a bet that either the underlying share will rise
in price or fall in price before the expiration date.
How to gain maximum profit in options trading?
According to Allen Everhart, the best way to maximize profit in options
trading is to just keep it simple. In his words, “I have come to appreciate
buying deep-in-the-money/deep-in-time call options despite the
disparagement this strategy gets.”
Purchase a 70 delta call if you think the market is going higher - or put if
you think the market is falling. You will not need to worry much about theta
decay (there’s a little, but not much) and you’ll profit 80% of a $1 move on
the stock or ETF at a much lower cost than an equivalent number of shares of
stock, and there’s no risk of being randomly exercised and having the stock
(long or short) suddenly appear in your account the next morning!
When you have 200 short option positions on, and a dozen of them get
randomly exercised overnight, you will appreciate the ‘simple’ approach to
options trading.
What happens in a case when options contract expires?
 In case if the contract reaches its expiration date and you have not yet
exercised your right to options, then you will lose your right and premium.
The contract becomes invalid.
The only person who will profit from this is the writer of the contract.
What is the difference between strike price and stock price?
A strike price is a price at which the owner of an option can execute the
contract, whereas; a stock price is the last transaction price of at least a single
share of an underlying.
What is naked call?
It’s a strategy in which an investor writes a call option without having a
position in the underlying stock itself. To set up a naked call, an investor
simply sells a call option without owning the underlying stock. If s/he writes
a naked call & the stock goes up 100 or 200%, the writer has to deliver, but it
is a high-risk strategy.
What is American contract?
An American option is a version of an options contract that allows holders
to exercise the option rights at any time before and including the day of
expiration.
What is an European contract?
A European contract only allows you to exercise on the day of expiration.
Which one is more profitable European contract or American
contract?
An American contract option allows the investor to exercise any time
before the expiration date whereas, in European contract options during their
"exercise period" (usually right when they expire, but no earlier).
So an American style contract is exercised more but is it more
profitable?
If I exercise my American contract before its expiration date, the investor
might get more profit, but he/she might lose money too. Mathematically,
there is no advantage, since an investor can make the same amount of profit
on exercising its right on the day of its expiration.
When should you start options trading?
You should start options trading when you have enough investment and
savings too. You need the proper knowledge, data, and strategies about the
market. You should be able to not only predict but also implement the
strategies at the right time.
How much should you invest in options trading?
It is advisable to start your investment with 5,000$ to 15,000$. Try not
investing all of your savings or income on it since there is a high-risk factor
involved in trading options.
When should you exercise your options?
According to Bill Bischoff, you should exercise your options put the very
last-minute.
The last-minute is when the stock has risen to the point where you are
ready to unload — or just before the option expiration date, whichever comes
first. At the last minute or on the date of expiration, you know that there is no
going higher than this, so you can easily exercise your options, although, on
the last day, the tax cost is usually higher.
Best strategy of options trading?
According to Allen Everhart, there is no such thing is the best strategy.
Everyday stock or market rate is different. Even the underlying asset or
companies are different from each other too. You cannot apply one strategy
to all of your options. However, all options trading strategies are directional.
What is a short put and long call strategy?
A short put and a long call are direction-ally the same. The shot put and
the long call makes money when the stock goes up. But short put is known to
be a little riskier than the long call strategy.
The short put can be exercised if the stock does not decline, and in that
case, you can keep the premium of the option.
How an option writer makes money?
 An option writer makes money when the stock or premium that has been
bought reaches its expiration date without being exercised. In that case, the
option writer gets to keep the entire premium.
How do investors lose money in options trading?
There is no one specific reason why an investor loses his/her money. There
are different cases and scenarios. But the most common mistakes people
make are they do not gather enough information or their lack of knowledge.
Most people assume that it is a short way to become rich or may believe in
“luck” too much.

 DAY AND SWING
TRADING
Guide for beginners.
Investment strategies in stock, options, and forex. Add up
extra income and get your financial freedom

INTRODUCTION
 In this book, we will talk about two types of trading: day trading and
I swing trading. On this extended version we added a part about Options
Trading. It is necessary for every beginner to understand all the
sections. In order to start your career as a successful trader, you should have
some basic knowledge about trading. This book will help you to clarify your
doubts regarding day, swing and options trading, how they should invest their
money and which trade will give them more profit.
Day trading is defined as the activity of capturing profit from the variation
of stock prices during the day. In other words, day trading is about selling
and buying stocks in a short time.
On the other side, swing trading is defined as the activity of buying and
selling stocks during a time span of more than one day.
“Trading” is intended as the set of actions aimed to making extra-income
money through investment strategies. Those who apply trading strategy in the
financial market for gaining profit and helding a position in the market are
known as “Swing Traders.” Swing traders typically focus on getting profit by
small gains in a very short time span. Their position in the market may be
held for several days or for a week. They buy some stocks on the market and
then sell them when they believe they can get a good profit on it. It is a
process going on between a buyer and a seller. Swing traders keep their
check and balance in the market; then, with the help of technical analysis,
they identify the price swings and determine whether buy a stock or not,
whether prices are rising, or they can come out with a loss. Swing traders risk
0.5% on each trade; nevertheless they pursue much higher goals in terms of
profit by each trade. Most of the traders buy the stock when they prices are
low and sell them when the prices are higher in the market. In some cases,
this strategy causes losses, because the stock values decrease (this happens in
very rare cases, though).
Most people make confusion between swing trading with day trading. In
reality, swing trading is far different from day trading because day trading
has lower chances of getting losses than swing trading. Also, in day trading,
the time of trading is limited (one day), whereas in swing trading there is no
time limit: it is indeed an overnight process. The market of swing traders
works for 24hours; therefore, the profit/loss chances are higher because the
seller can face the downfall anytime. Swing traders are also rewarded by a
leverage of 50%. For example, if a trader is allowed to have a margin in his
trading, then he only needs to invest $20,000 for a trade rather than investing
$40,000. It is a process through which it is possible to helding profit for a
long time. This process is not about getting profit in a day, but it could go
from a day to many days. There will be more chances of getting profit than
loss. For beginners, swing trading is the best option to choose because swing
trading is easy and there are more chances of succeed with it. It is, in fact,
less stressful for a seller and it is associated to higher success probability with
respect to day trading, since time allows to improve accuracy in investment
decision. It is well known that swing traders have several opportunities and
options to trade. They may get more opportunities to invest their money
during the longer investment time-span. It is very important for a trader be
concerned in the price variation of their stock and be patient. After all,
everything is all about profit and loss.
So far, all the websites or books about day and swing trading that I have
been reading were unfit to a clear understanding of how to enter or exit in any
trading system. I wrote this book so that it will help the coming generations
to understand what day and swing trading are about, and investing their
money on the type of trading that suits better to them.
The options are a particular type of derivative instrument that gives the
possibility to buy or sell at a set price, a specific underlying asset, which
represents the object of the option contract.
The term "option" comes from the word possibility. The options offer the
opportunity to buy or sell an asset. It therefore represents a right for the
subscriber and not an obligation.
The terms call, put, strike price, at the money and in the money are all
connected to the option management operations. Their meaning, as we will
see, is much more intuitive and immediate than it might seem.
The recent evolution of financial markets have given great prominence to
options and their particular variations such as binary options. They are
considered as profitable and versatile financial instruments to trading
strategies. They will offer many savers the opportunity to build pay-off
portfolios through the aggregation of different tools.
 1. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWING
TRADING AND DAY TRADING

I fdoyounotarewaste
a beginner, then keep your mind open for both types of trading,
your money or time in investing until you do not have enough
knowledge about the trading systems. For a beginner, there is always a lot
of things to learn about, whatever the field is learning about your interest is
very important. Before starting any trading pattern, it is necessary to
understand your needs and expectations that you have related to the trading
system. First of all, the trader who wants to trade should know how much
active trading he wants. Whether he wants a trading system that survives in
the market for a longer time, or not. What are his current requirements and
expectations related to trading whether he can handle his trading system for a
long time, or did he have enough stamina to bear the loss? Once you decide
the right path that suits you and that you believe can fulfill your expectation,
then you can easily survive in the trading market.
Traders have divided trading into two parts swing trading and day trading.
This book will help you to understand the difference between both the trading
systems, and it will help you in choosing which trading system is best for
you. The main goal of any beginner is to gain profit on their stock, whether
it’s a day trader or a swing trader; at the end of the day, every trader needs
their name in a profit list. Even though both tradings has different tools and
technical analysis procedures.
Day trading is about making multiples trades in a day. As the name
suggests doing trade on your stock within a day but multiple times is day
trading. This trade is all about doing trade within a day or hours. You cannot
go beyond that time, and it doesn’t matter how many times you trade in a
day. The main objective of the day traders is to make money from their
preexisting income in a day with their stock. This trade is only about day
trading; it does not contain night hours. They do not keep any overnight
securities. The biggest advantage of day trading is that the trader has fewer
chances of having any kind of loss. For example, if a trader invests their
money on any stock and the market rate of that stock goes down in the
middle of the night, so in that case, the trader has to face a loss, but because
of day trading, the chances of losses are also less as they will not invest their
money for overnight.
According to the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), “The
Day traders typically suffer financial losses in their first months of trading,
and many never graduate to profit-making status.” After the SEC cautions the
day trader, it was easy to understand that the beginner’s traders should not
take a risk by investing money more than they can afford, they should not go
beyond their limitations. Most of the people commit suicide when they face
loss because they had borrowed money from their friends and family or from
other sources.
The day traders do not need any partner, they usually work alone, and they
do not have their flexible schedule, and they do their work according to their
mood and needs. They usually work at their places and take off and rap all of
their stuff whenever they want. They do not need anyone’s instruction
because they do their work independently.
Sometimes it becomes difficult for the beginners of day traders to compete
in the market because except making money and position in the market they
also have to compete with the high-frequency traders, whereas other faces
more advantages than the beginners as they become professionals in their
work and have more experience than them. Once you start getting profit on
your stock, there will be no come back from this earning adventure; you will
desire to invest more and earn more.
The day trader has to generate a lot of effort and use his skills to maintain
the position in the market. A beginner who wants to have all the luxuries
firstly had to quit his job to maintain all his focus on trading because it would
not be easy for a day trader to continue his job as it all depends on you to
keep check and balance in the market. Because day trading is stressful, and
the trader has to keep his self-up-to date with the ongoing situation in the
market. He should be aware of multiple screening so it will help him to spot
the trading opportunities.
For example
If someone is continuous his job with day trading and on the opposite hand
the shares of an organization like Walmart (WMT) or Apple (AAPL) within
the forex market are going high, and there's an excellent opportunity for him
to trade his currency like euro or U.S. dollar (EUR/USD), so he will miss the
prospect due to his job routine.
So it will be better for the future of the trader to just focus on one thing at a
time, his job or a business. For trading, there are various markets; the ups and
downs in the market make easier for those who cannot afford it. Once the
stocks go down, buyers borrow them and sell them when the rate goes high.
In the forex market, it is easier for beginners to invest their money as it
requires the least capital for trading purposes. You can start from a little
amount like $50, but if you can invest a large amount so it will be more
useful. To gain a good position in the market, stocks trade requires to be at
least $25,000 to make day trade. Day trade stock requires more capital for the
better position, but if you do not have $25,000 or can’t maintain your account
above $25,000 then stocks are not the right place for you to invest money or
do not waste your time on it, but if you have crossed $25,000, then stocks are
viable day trading market. Long-time day traders love the joys of pitting their
wits against the market and other professionals day in and time out. The
adrenaline rush from rapid-fire trading are a few things not many traders will
admit to, but it's a giant think about their decision to create a living from day
trading. It's doubtful these styles of people would be content spending their
days selling widgets or perusing numbers in an office cubicle.
Day trading and swing trading each have advantages and downsides.
Neither strategy is healthier than the opposite, and traders should choose the
approach that works best for his or her skills, preferences, and lifestyle. Day
trading is healthier suited to individuals who are smitten by trading full time
and possess the three Ds: decisiveness, discipline, and diligence
(prerequisites for successful day trading). Swing trading, on the opposite
hand, doesn't require such a formidable set of traits. Since swing trading will
be undertaken by anyone with some investment capital and doesn't require
full-time attention, it's a viable option for traders who want to stay their full-
time jobs, but also dabble within the markets. Swing traders should even be
able to apply a mixture of fundamental and technical analysis, instead of
technical analysis alone.
If we differentiate swing and day trading, then they both are far different
from each other, their framing time to trade is different. Swing trading is
about selling and buying stock for days and weeks. Swing traders have more
time to trade then the day traders. Their trading frame is longer than then day
traders as they hold a position overnight. Because of their 24 hours of trading,
they cannot avoid the risk that can cause a big problem against them. There
will be more chances of losing money in this trade. They have to worry about
the stock all the time because it could be different while opening, or it could
be different from how it closed before the day. Swing traders need a lot of
patience because he had to face many problems. Trades generally need
time to figure out. Keeping a trade for an asset open for some days or weeks
may lead to higher profits than trading in and out of the identical security
multiple times daily. Swing traders know that it will take a long time, but
they generally do not make it look like a full-time job. Swing trade may take
a few days or maybe a few weeks to work out. Swing traders do not make
this trading a full-time job career like day traders. If you have enough
knowledge about swing trading and investment capital that you can try swing
trading. If you are a beginner in trading and want to invest your money, then
swing trading is a perfect choice because it does not require your 24/7 hours'
attention, or you do not need to glued yourselves in front of your computers
and keeping your eyes and fingers crossed all the time. A swing trader can
even do a full-time job if he wants to because swing trading doesn’t require
checking on the screens all the time. The margin requirements in swing
trading are higher, and usually, its maximum leverage is two times one’s
capital, whereas day trading has four times and one’s capitals. It doesn’t need
constant monitoring like day trading; it can be stopped anytime whenever you
feel like there is a risk in executing the trading process.
Like any other trading swing trading can also result in substantial losses.
Infect swing traders has to face a larger loss than day traders as swing traders
hold their position in the market for a longer time. That’s why they run the
risk of larger loss than day trading. Swing traders usually do have their
regular jobs, and they also have other sources of income from where they can
overcome theirs loses. There are more chances of burnout for swing traders
due to stress in swing trading since it’s seldom a full-time job. Swing traders
have more chances through which they can mitigate or offset their losses.
Swing trading can be done by having just one computer, and with
conventional trading tools unlike, day trading it does not require the art
technology. Swing traders have overnight leverage of 50% as compared to
day trading, but this margin can be risky too, particularly if margin calls
occur. These trading are not so much about what you want to trade, be it
commodities, i.e., oil futures or stock from the CAC 40. Instead of that, it is
simply all about timing. So, where it took 4 hours and daily charts of day
trading, it will be more concerned about swing trading where it took multi-
day charts and candlestick patterns. Moving average crossovers, Head and
shoulders patterns, shooting stars, etc. are some of the most popular.
Swing trading can be extremely challenging in two markets, the bear
market environment or raging bull market. Here you will see even highly
active traders will not display in the same position there will be same up and
down oscillation. To invest in the stock market, it's compulsory to have a
well-organized method for trading. It is very important to keep things simple,
as in the early stages, it will look a bit difficult for the beginners, but instead
of getting panic, they should handle them with confidence. Once you learn
the rules of swing trading and the discipline, you will make money in a great
quantity in the stock market. Swing trading allows you to trade in every
situation, whether it is bullish, bearish, or just going sideways. This is another
reason why this trade has a distinct advantage over other approaches to invest
in a swing trade.
Swing traders use technical analysis indicators to identify the price swings
in the market and determine the condition of the market, whether a stock
price will drop or rise in the short run. Through this, they invest the capitalize
in securities that have momentum and select the best time for buying or
selling the stock. These technical analysis indicators help the traders to use
the swing charts for their swing trading on the security current situation trend.
To analyze the current trading pattern, swing traders use swing trading charts,
which help the trader in providing data based on statistical analysis. Unlike
day trading, swing trading is not about the long term value of the security;
instead of that, they are just concerned about the ups and downs in the stock
price. Swing traders can make large returns on the stock that decay in value
over time because they are making returns on each small price swing of their
stock while the overall trend is downward.
Swing trading and day trading appears similar in some aspects of trading.
The main factor of trading is setting the two techniques apart and maintaining
the position on time in the market. Unlike day traders, it does not close within
minutes or in hours, it takes several weeks and overnight days. They are
subjected to the unpredictability of overnight risks that may result in
significant price momentum. Swing traders can check their positions in the
market periodically and can take action when critical points are reached.
Main differences between swing trading and day trading are:
 Trading times:
Both of them have different timings of trading. In day trading, it takes a
maximum of two to four hours daily for trading purposes, and in this time,
the trader manages to analyze the charts, entering and getting out of the
positions, and review different stocks. Whereas the swing trader’s minimum
needs 45 minutes in a day, update his order and find the new one. Day trading
demands more time than swing trading.
Risks:
Day trader experiences more losses than swing traders because day traders
may need to carry out six trades per day, whereas swing traders may need to
carry out six trades per month to maintain a good position in the market.
That’s why day traders had to face more struggle in maintaining their
position in the market as their risk level is higher than swing traders, and they
had to engage their selves more in the market then swing traders.
Stress:
Day traders are more in stress as they have to keep their selves engage all
the time with the market situation. They need great knowledge about market
movements and had a great level of patience. A day trader needs to be more
focused on their work. On the other hand, swing traders do not take that
much pressure and can’t say that they are much focused than day traders.
 2. HOW DOES IT WORK?

What is swing trading?

“Swing trading is a technique used for buying and selling stocks.”
How does it work?

S wing trading is one of the most used and common trading strategies used
in almost every market, including forex, futures trading, stocks, and much
more. Swing trading is about buying and selling the stock, buying it from
the market, and selling it for gains. For this purpose, traders mostly rely on
technical analysis to spot good selling and buying opportunities.
Subsequently, swing trading mostly relays on fundamental assets since its
great determent of significant price movements. Sometimes it will take days
and even weeks. It also helps to improve trade analysis. Therefore, a trader
can verify where the fundamental assets are favorable or not, or it could
potentially improve instead of relying on the bearish patterns. Swing traders
use the technical analysis indicator to identify the price of swing trade and
determine whether a stock price will rise in the market or drop. By
experiencing technical indicators, swing traders are not concerned about the
long term value of the stock.
How to make swing trade with trends?
Swing trading is one of the best solid tradings, and it has one of the
obvious trends in trading strategies. For beginners, it is necessary to
understand its importance in the market that once you get to know how to
invest your money, it will offer a lot of high possibility of trading
opportunities with a high upside. For a beginner, it is obligatory to have
enough knowledge about the market. The initial step that every beginner
should take is to identify the market needs, he should know about the market
trends.
For getting a good position in the market, every trader should go with the
best trends, any trend that goes on the top of the list that if you show them to
a child, they would clearly choose the right one whose prices are getting
higher or lower.
 One of the most common mistakes that every beginner makes when
looking to swing trade within a trend is not entering with the right swing
point.
Tips for Beginners
When you should choose Swing trading:
Swing trading is easier than day trading, but to see whether choosing
swing trading is a good decision for you or not, you should enlist all the
points and see which one will give you more profit.
Make sure that you are ready to spend your days, weeks, and months on
this trading as swing trading contains a longer period for trading.
If you already have a job and want to invest your money for extra income,
but you do not have enough time to sit in front of a computer, then
swing trading is the best option for you.
You do not need to do constant monitoring and keeping an eye on market
activities.
Swing trading will give you a less stressful life and will reduce the risk
level.
As a beginner, you should always have a plan and stick to it as it’s the
nature of buying and selling that there will be highs and lows, but you
should stick to the plan.
Before you start swing trading, you should practice it by watching
markets. Having knowledge about pre-trading will help you in gaining
 the loss.
Don’t expect to have money on a quick note; just focus on your aim and
let the process sink in.
Having a good observation will help you in investing money in the right
stock, so if you want to gain money on the first stock, then you should
know how to use the technical analysis indicators.
It is important for a beginner to keep in mind while trading the entrance
and exit strategy. Before entering a market, we should check
everything and keep ourselves update with the study of the charts,
noting the price the stock will likely reach in its current swing.
Most of the traders (like partygoers) find it more favorable to choose how
to exit before they have entered the trade.
There will be more chances of losing money in the earlier stages of
trading, but a good trader should stick to it and should gather basic
skills, polish those skills, learn new technical techniques, and improve
your knowledge. It’s important not to give up in a condition.
He should read books and follow the swing trading tips for beginners.
Trading Platforms
For successful swing trading, the trader should select the right stocks to
make a profit in the market. Therefore, traders can also opt for stock with
large market capitalization. The most active assets will be among beginners,
and they will be the most actively traded ones on top exchange. If we talk
about the platforms for swing trading, then, on the one hand, there is a bear
market, and on the other is the bull market. Similarly, there is a stable market
between both of them. Yet swing trading in a bear or bull market is pretty
different from that stable one.
For example, stocks in the market might tend to spike and dump using
various patterns in both of these markets, unlike a stable market where a
similar pattern could have upheld for weeks or months. In the bear market
and bull market, the momentum can cause stocks to trade in a specific way
for a long time. In that situation, to gain the maximum profit, a trader should
trade in the way of the long term trend. And to experience that profit, a swing
trader has to correctly regulate the current market, whether it is bearish or
bullish.
 The simple moving average (SMA) recommends specific support and
resistance stages. It also displays bullish and bearish patterns. When the stock
knockouts the support level, it signals a virtuous time to purchase, and once it
hits the resistance level, then it’s a good time to trade. The bullish and bearish
methods also signal entry and exit price points. Therefore, another form of
SMA is the exponential moving average (EMA), and it focuses on state-of-
the-art data points. The trend signals, as well as entry or exit points presented
by the EMA, is quicker compared to the SMA. The 9, 13, and 50 periods
EMA can be used to improved time entry points.
For example, when the price of a stock crosses these EMAs, it shows a
bullish trend. Therefore, there could probably be a problem with the bearish
trend. For instance, when the 9 EMA crosses the 13 EMA, whereas the 13
EMA is above the 50-period EMA, it signals a buying opportunity.
What is day trading?
“Selling and buying a stock multi times in a day.”
How does day trading work?
It seems very interesting to trade, and those who wanted to join this trading
system may see it with more interest because it seems very easy and
interesting, but in reality, the life of a trader is like living a life on the edge. In
day trading, we don’t have any idea what will happen in the very next
moment; unexpected event scan occur at any time. The bitter reality of
trading is that most of the days are dry and are quite ordinary, and at the very
next moment, you will see your name at the top of the list. In day trading, the
high speed of execution is very important as you may see the high numbers
of trades you could make in a day to match yourself with the market price
you need to match the level of the market. To make your trading work, it is
very important to lower the commission rates. It will be more viable day
trading as it will have a lower fee rate. Beginners should keep regulatory
compliance in their trading. Day traders usually start off with zero positions
in their typical portfolios, and day traders trade so frequently that by the end
of the day, they have closed all of their trades.
Some day traders work manually, making trade by trade hour by the hour
using a chart. Others set up an automatic process that makes orders to
purchase and trade for them. Whereas day traders don’t actually look at
fundamental data, they are concerned in price volatility, liquidity, breaking
trends, and trading volume of the day that will change a stock price
significantly.
REMINDER:
For day trading, forex is the best platform. For practicing forex and futures
trading, a trader should use the Ninja Trader Replay feature. It will help in
practicing historical trade days as if you are trading for real.
How to make day trade with trends?
It’s very necessary for a trader to follow the market trends for getting a
strong position in a market. Trading against the trend and not following it is
one of the most common reasons for facing failure in trading. Poor quality of
trend and not following a trend is a major reason for not getting the buyer's
attention. Those who follow quality and strong trends have more chances of
gaining success in trading. In trading, the trend raises the over-all direction of
a stock’s price. There is another possibility of having traders who are not
mentally and physically active all the time to respond to a large number of
stocks or price changes. For those who cannot manage things by themselves,
they can use a stock screener; it will help the trader to narrow down the
number of stocks and decrease the size so that it will make things easier in
working for you. If you follow the trending tactics, only trade stocks that
have a trending tendency. If you have a stock screener or an assistant, then
they can help you isolating stocks that trend so that you will be having a list
of stocks, and you can easily apply your day trading strategies through it.
Whatever stock you choose to trade represents your trading style, and a good
trading style always held a good position in the market.
For stocks, the finest time for day trading is the first one to two hours after
the opening, and the last hour before the closing of the market. 9:30 a.m. to
11:30 a.m. The chances of good day trading opportunities usually start a bit
earlier than others in the stock market. The forex market trades 24-hours a
day throughout the week. The EURUSD is the famous day trading pair. This
currency pair usually records better trading volumes between 1 A.M. and 12
P.M. EST. London markets are opened during these hours. Day traders would
trade within these hours. The hours from 7 A.M. to 10 A.M. EST typically
generate the biggest price changes because both the London and New York
markets are opened during this duration. Therefore, this is a very common
and active time for day traders.
Tips for Beginners
When you should choose day trading:
For a beginner, it is very important to make a list of all those things that
can help him in becoming a good trader and list all those negative points too
that can create a problem. Choosing the correct time for trading is very
important when you are mentally and physically ready to devote yourself to
this path.
Firstly, see whether you are fulfilling all the requirements of SEC and
FINRA pattern day trader rule.
Give yourself a minute and think that whether you are ready to sit in front
of a computer for two to four hours continuously for keeping yourself
update from the current situation of the market.
You need a lot of patience to become a good trader; that’s why it is very
important to keep your patience level up.
A trader does not need a college degree or professional degree for day
trading. Neither a trader needs to learn thousands of books.
Discipline is very important for trading; if you start violating everything,
then you can never trade your stock in the market.
A day trader should have the ability to take a risk and managing things if
he faces the loss.
He should not take stress over things but should control them in a good
manner.
You should have a computer for trading, having two monitors is
preferable but not necessary. Your computer should have a great
memory and fast processer as it can give you a disadvantage if the
processer or software is not good.
Having a good internet connection is another most important thing if you
lose the connection during a trade than you will also lose the trade
too.
To start your trading career, it is necessary to select the right platform.
As the beginners do not have enough knowledge about the right
platform as you are not aware of a well-developed trading style.
 In day trading, a trader doesn’t need to trade all day. You will possibly
discover more stability by only trading two to three hours a day.
Make a note about your chart of profits/losses in pips (forex), points
(futures), or cents (stocks) on a daily basis because these are scalable
figures. Writing down dollar figures can make you confuse because
there will be more chances that your account balance may fluctuate by
the time, resulting in bigger or smaller trades.
Save all the gathered data with a name, month-day-year.
Make a folder on your computer and store the saved files over there for
later reviews.
Each weekend, go through the gathered data from the previous week.
Note where you made a mistake and what you need to improve in yourself.
Day traders should practice all the precise issues in a demo account
during non-trading hours.
NOTE:
For having a good position in the market, the trader should find the repeating
patterns that are making continually profit in the market.
Trading Platforms
A beginner always has the trading platform in his mind whenever he thinks
to start trading where he should trade or not, which platform will be more
beneficial for him. The future of trade is more often based on the indexes and
commodities. A beginner could trade gold, crude oil, or S&P movements.
Not every market is good; it changes and comes down to what you trade and
what you can afford by the time. There are a lot of markets for trading that
can help beginners in achieving their goals, but finding the right one to invest
your money is very important. Day traders are admirable risk-takers. They
take risks in that area where they can’t afford to take risks. Still, they utilize
this trading platform. Day traders must have a fast, reliable platform full of
tools and features to ensure an optimal trading experience.
There are thousands of stocks in the market to choose, how do you decide
which one will give you more profit or you are going to focus on for day
trading? It can be confusing for a beginner trying to figure out the right one.
Some day traders find easily new stocks to trade every day or hunt for stocks
that are breaking out of patterns. Therefore, others lookout for stocks that
breakout of support or resistance levels or are the most volatile. A beginner
should keep these things in his mind while choosing a market, that when you
have picked up a market for your investment, you should have the proper
equipment and software setup, and knowledge about the goods for day
trading. When you start thinking about trading, you need to know how to
control risk. Day traders may control risk in two ways: trade risk and daily
risk. Trade risk is how far you are willing to take the risk on each trade.
Ideally, about risk 1% or less of your money on each trade.
A beginner can also start his trade with a little amount of $50, although if
he can invest more than starting with more is recommended. Whereas some
trading markets required $1,000 to get started. A day trader at least requires
$25,000 to trade for his stock. The need for having more capitals to day trade
stock will not make it better or worse in the market than the others. It is
essential for trading to maintain your position good in the market for that you
have to maintain your account up to $25,000, but if you are facing continual
failure, then this market is not a good place for you.
 3. SWING TRADING AND DAY
TRADING: TACTICS AND STRATEGIES

What is strategy?
“Strategy is an action or plan that is used to attain one or more of the organizational aims.”
trading strategy is a procedure through which a trader sells and buys the
A stock and is based on predefined rules used to make trading decisions.
Any type of trading process in the market usually includes a well-
considered trading and investing plan that specifies risk tolerance, tax
implication, and capitalizing objects. Applying or planning a strategy in
trading means that a trader should search and adopt the best practices and
ideas and then follows them.
REMINDER:
The strategy includes three stages:
Planning a trade, placing a trade, and then executing it.
A trader should understand the level of risk he can take and then decide
what is appropriate for him to do. Trading strategies are mainly based on
either fundamentals or methodological. To avoid behavioral finance biases
and to make sure about consistent results, trading strategies are employed.
Even though it is very difficult to develop a trading strategy because there are
more chances of having a risk of becoming over-reliant on a strategy.
How many strategies does a trader need?
A trader should use only one or two strategies for successful trading. It is a
pattern of buying and selling the stocks every trader uses in their daily
routine, which outlines when a trader will enter and exit the market. The
trading strategy allows the trader to see the trading opportunities objectively.
It also allows the trader to see how the trades and traders have worked out in
the past.
Types of strategies:
There are four types of trading styles.
 1. Scalping.
2. Day trading.
3. Position trading.
4. Swing trading.

Trading styles, time frame and their time of a period frame are given
below:
Time Period of
Trading Style Time Frame
Frame
Scalping Short-term Seconds or minutes
For one day
Day trading Short-term
(maximum)
Weeks, months, or
Position trading Long-term
years.
Swing Trading Medium-term Days or weeks

These trading styles are the four main types of trading mostly use in the
forex market.
Day trading strategy
Day trading strategies are important for the trader when he is looking to
capitalize on small price movements. A trading strategy helps the trader to
understand how from thousands of stocks, a reader can decide or choose the
right one. This book will help beginners to understand the market situation
and helps in focusing on which strategy will help the trader. Sometimes
beginners get confused due to their zero experience in the beginning, and
they lose their hopes, but here we will try to end the confusion of the trading
beginners before it actually begins in their minds. A consistent, effective
strategy in day trading relies on utilizing charts, technical indicators, in-depth
technical analysis, and patterns; it helps in predicting future price movements
in trading. This book will give you a detailed breakdown of beginners' trading
strategies. The fast step of moving investment positions in a single trading
day creates a perception that day trading is riskier or extra volatile than other
types of trading.
It is essential for a beginner to know the basic concept of trading because it
could bog down a trader in a complex world of highly technical indicators,
that’s why focus and knowledge both are important for a simple day trading
strategy. Having patience and control is very important for the day trader
because there will be days when it will turn out to be ranging days in trading.
One of the most common mistakes that every beginner usually makes is
taking the risk of trading too early while knowing it can damage them
financially, still trying to get a better price and position in the market and
assuming that the trade will trigger them in the future. This is the biggest
mistake that every beginner has usually made.
Basic strategic fundamentals every day trader should use:
A trader should not expect to make a fortune if he is only allocating an
hour or two a day to trading. A trader needs to continuously monitor
the markets and keep looking for trading chances.
Before you start doing trading, first, you need to decide how much you’re
prepared to take a risk. A trader should keep in mind that most
successful traders won’t put more than 2% of their investment on the
line per trade.
A trader should prepare himself for some losses if he wants to be around
when the winner’s start rolling in.
A trader should make sure that he should stay up to date with the events
and market news that will influence your asset, such as a shift in
economic policy. A trader can discover a wealth of online economic
and business resources that will keep them in the know.
For trading, just having the knowledge of the market intricacies isn’t
enough; a trader should be informed about everything.
The trading market will get volatile when it opens each day and while
practiced day traders who are capable of reading the outlines and
profit, a trader should bide his time
It’s tougher than it looks to keep your emotions at bay when you are five
coffees in, and you have been watching at the screen for hours. A
trader should let maths, logic, and the trading strategy guide him
rather than nerves, fear, or greed.
A trader must have technical tools in the beginning, but also the best
place to experiment with new strategies for advanced traders is the
demo account. Several demo accounts are unrestricted, so not time
restriction.
Important Components for day trading:
Whether it is automated day trading strategies, or advanced tactics and
beginner, a trader will need to take three essential components; liquidity,
volatility, and volume. If a beginner wants to create money by making tiny
price movements, choosing the right stock is vigorous. These three elements
will help the trader to make a decision.
1. Liquidity:
This enables the trader to suddenly enter and exit trades at an eye-catching
and stable price. Liquid commodity strategies, for example, crude oil,
focus on gold, and natural gas, etc.
2. Volatility:
Through this, every beginner trader will get to know about their potential
profit range. The larger the volatility, the larger profit or loss a trader may
make. The cryptocurrency market is an example of high volatility.
3. Volume :
This measurement will help the beginner to know about how many times
the stock/asset has been traded within a set period of time. For a day trader
beginners, this is known as ‘average daily trading volume.’ High volume
helps in knowing that there’s significant interest in the asset or security.
Growth in volume is often an indicator a price goes either up or down, is
fast approaching.
How much risk is involved in day trading?
According to the experts of (OTA) Online Trading Academy, it is a reality
that day trading situations managing in a single day are making it truly safer
rather than riskier.
“One of the best ways to control risk is limiting the length of the trade. The longer you are in a position,
the greater the likelihood is that price could move against you. By day trading, you eliminate overnight
and weekend risk, especially when you trade markets that close, like stocks.”
– Brandon Wendell, CMT
Because it is a fact that day traders don’t hold their positions overnight,
they usually avoid the probability of a surprise in an overseas market,
unfavorable financial news, or an incomes report that comes out once the
markets are closed. Even though after-hours trading is offered for numerous
securities, the market is high, and it’s possible that the position will gap
down and open at a dramatically lower price the next day after a negative
overnight experience.
In addition, day trading tends to give ease, not increase market volatility.
Day traders are usually looking for their earnings in small price movements
up or down. Their daily trades offer liquidity, which helps the marketing the
running easily, as compared to casually traded markets that are subject to
dramatic price swings. Day trading is not a way to become rich instantly. Day
trading is a traditional investing approach that is used by many organizations
as well by the well-educated institutions who have adopted it as a profession.
In the 1990s, day trading did not have a good reputation, and at that time,
many beginners began day trading. They started jumping into different
platforms, including online trading platforms, without applying the stock
strategies. They believed that they could run the market without having the
knowledge about the market and make a fortune in stock trades with their
little effort. This proved them wrong.
What do you need to start day trading?
For a day trader beginner, it is important to have technical equipment at
your place. Most of the beginners think that daily trading requires heavy and
expensive equipment and high investments of capital; that’s not the reality.
Here’s a list of items usually every trader needs for trading.
Technology:
For trading, traders do not want a supercharged computer with a dozen
monitors to trade. They only need one laptop or a computer.
Internet Connection:
It is very important to have a good internet connection; it helps the trader
to process his order in a timely manner. Most cables and even satellites
suppliers offer sufficient bandwidth to connect to the exchanges. Typical
packages of 20mbps of cable internet are enough for this. Most of the traders
even use their mobile phone connections of 5mbps to 20mbps, but that is not
suggested. The slow mobile phone connection can cause delays in
transactions and can cause unexpected loss.
Trading Platform:
Traders should be careful in the trading market because there are many
online brokers sitting online to fool the beginners. They offer the beginners
their services but route orders over market makers who cost additional
money, they often deferral the processing. It is easy to perform trade analysis
and place your orders very quickly and properly. The web-based version is
less reliable then the downloaded version, the downloaded version offers
more features.
Skills
Lots of people are supporters of seeking an education. The main problem
is that; education alone is not enough unless it is being utilized rightly in the
market. Although having information about the markets, how it will work,
and how to read price is essential, and how it will offer an advantage, skill is
also necessary to obtain stable results.
Building a skill involves practice and experience, but trying to get trading
skills without supervision can be a lengthy, often annoying process. For many
traders, working and learning from the experience of a counselor is the best
way to improve any of the skills and learn strategies for trading and investing
that reduces risk. Even the famous traders like Paul Tudor and Warren
Buffett Jones needed mentors. Mr. Buffett worked under Benjamin Graham,
and Mr. Jones worked under Eli Tullis.
Day Trading Strategies
Strategies
1. Breakout
In trading breakout strategies center around after the price clears a
specified level on the chart, with improved volume. The breakout trader
enters into a long situation once the security or asset breaks above resistance.
Otherwise, a trader enters a short site after the stock breaks below support.
Once a security or asset trades beyond the quantified amount barrier,
volatility frequently increases, and the amount will often trend in the way of
the breakout.
A trader needs to catch the right instrument to trade. While doing this, bear
in the notice the resistance level and asset’s support. The more often the price
has hit these facts, the more authenticated and vital they become.
Plan the Entry and Exits Points:
This part of trading is good and direct. Prices set to nearby and above
resistance levels want a bearish place. Prices set to nearby and below a
maintenance level want a bullish place.
Using the asset’s latest performance to establish a sensible price target.
Using chart patterns in trading will make this process even more precise. A
trader can analyze the average current price swings to generate a target. If the
average swings have been 3 points over the last some price swings, this
would be a workable target. Once you’ve got hold of that goal, then you can
exit the trade and enjoy the profit.

2. Scalping
Scalping is one of the best strategies, mostly used by traders. It is mostly
used, and it is popular in the forex market. It looks to capitalize on minute
price changes, and its driving force is quantity. You will look to sell the stock
as soon as the stock becomes profitable. This is an exciting and fast-paced
technique to trade, but then again, it can be risky. You must have a high
trading probability to even out the reward ratio vs. low risk. A trader should
be on the lookout for volatile tools, attractive liquidity, and be on timing. You
cannot wait for the market; you must close losing trades as soon as possible.
 3. Momentum:
This strategy is popular among all trading strategies for beginners; this
strategy revolves around acting on recognizing large trending moves with the
support of high volume and news sources. For the ample opportunity, there is
always at least one stock that moves around 20-30% each day. A trader
simply holds onto the position until he sees signs of reversal and then gets
out. Otherwise, he can disappear the price drop. This way round his price
target as soon as volume starts to shrink.
This is the simplest and most effective strategy if used properly. However,
a trader must ensure that he is aware of upcoming news and income
announcements. Just a small number of seconds on each trade will make all
the difference to your end of day profits.
 4. Reversal
Though this strategy is hotly debated and potentially unsafe when it comes
to using by beginners. Reverse trading is used all over the world. It’s also
known as pullback trending, trend trading, and a mean reversion strategy.
This strategy confronts the basic logic as the trader aims to trade against the
trend. A trader must be able to correctly classify possible pullbacks, plus
calculate their strength. To do this effectively, a trader must need in-depth
market experience and knowledge.
The ‘daily pivot’ strategy is measured as a unique case of reverse trading,
as it centers on selling and buying the daily high and low pullbacks/reverse.
 5. Using Pivot Points
A day trading pivot point strategy can be strange or fantastic in trading for
acting on critical support and/or resistance levels identifying it. It is mostly
useful in the forex market. In addition, pivot points can be used by range-
bound traders to recognize points of entry, whereas trend and breakout
traders can use pivot points to locate key levels that must break a move to
count as a breakout.
Calculating Pivot Points
A pivot point is well-defined as a point of rotation in day trading. A
beginner day trader can use the prices of the previous day’s low or high and,
plus the closing price of a security to analyze the pivot point.
Note that if you analyze a pivot point using price statistics from a quite
short time frame, accuracy is often reduced.
So, how does a day trader will analyze/calculate the pivot point?
➢ Central Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Now day traders can analyze resistance and support levels by using the
pivot point. For doing that a trader must use the following formulas:
➢ First Resistance (R1) = (2*P) – Low
➢ First Support (S1) = (2*P) – High
The second level of resistance and support is then calculated as follows:
➢ Second Resistance (R2) = P + (R1-S1)
➢ Second Support (S2) = P – (R1- S1)

Application
When practically applied in the FX market, for example, a beginner will
find the trading range for the session that will frequently take place among
the pivot point and the resistance levels and the first support. The reason
behind this is having a high number of traders playing this range. It is also
worth noting because this is one of the systems &approaches that can be
applied to indexes too.
For example, it can help a day trader beginner to form an effective S&P
day trading strategy.
Limit Your Losses
This is the most important thing to keep in your mind if you are using a
margin is limiting your loss. Requirements are often high for day traders.
When a day trader trades on a margin, he will be increasingly susceptible to
sharp price movements. This means the potential for a bigger profit, but it
also means the probability of substantial losses. Luckily, a trader can employ
stop-losses. The stop-loss controls the trade risk for the trader. In a small
situation, a trader can place a stop-loss above a recent high; for good big
situations, you can place it below a recent low. A trader can also make it
dependent on volatility.
For example, if a stock amount moves by £0.05 a minute, so you can place
a stop-loss £0.15 away after your entry order, letting it swing (hopefully in
the expected direction).
One popular strategy in day trading is to set up two stop-losses. Firstly, a
trader places a physical stop-loss order at a precise price level. This will be
the maximum capital you can afford to lose. Secondly, you can create a
mental stop-loss. Place this, at the point of your entry criteria, are breached.
So if the trade makes an unexpected turn, you’ll make a swift exit.
Forex Trading Strategies
Forex strategies are risky by nature as a trader must accumulate his profits
in a short space of time. A trader can apply any of the strategies in the forex
market.
Swing trading strategy
What is a swing trader?
Swing traders are basically those traders that trade for a couple of days or
for weeks’ time frame. They usually work for four hours (H4) and daily (D1)
charts, and they may use a blend of fundamental analysis and technical
analysis to monitor trading their decisions. Whether it is a long term trend or
whether the market is mainly range-bound, it really does not matter. A Forex
swing trader is not going to hold on to a position that is enough for it to count
considerably.
 In the trading market, the swing trader is best to be used when markets are
going nowhere once indexes rise for multi-days, then decay for the next few
days, only to repeat the same over-all patterns again and again. Swing trader
has several chances to catch the short-term movements up and down. The
problem with swing trading and long-term trend trading is that success is
established on correctly recognizing what type of market is presently being
practiced. Trend trading might have the perfect strategy for the bull market of
the 1990s, while swing trading maybe would have been best for 2000 and
2001.
Simple moving averages (SMAs) offer resistance and support levels, as
well as bearish and bullish patterns. Support and resistance levels can help
the trader in buying a stock. Bullish and bearish limit patterns signal price
ideas where you should enter and exit stocks. The exponential moving
average (EMA) is similar to SMA that places extra emphasis on the latest
data points. The EMA gives traders clear trend indications, entry, and exit
points faster than a simple moving average (SMA). Swing trades can use
EMA for entry and exit points.
A swing trader tends to look for multi-day chart outlines. Some of the
more common outlines include moving average crossovers, head and
shoulders patterns, flags, triangles, and cup-and-handle patterns. Eventually,
each swing trader formulates a plan and strategy that gives them an advantage
over many trades. This also includes looking for trade arrangements that tend
to lead to expectable movements in the asset's price. This is not that easy, and
no strategy or any arrangement will work every time. Through a favorable
risk or reward, winning every time is not required. The more promising risk
or reward of a trading strategy, the fewer times it desires to win in order to
produce a complete profit over many trades.
Once it comes to take profits, the swing traders, whether they are
beginners or the professionals, they will want to exit the trade as soon as
possible to the upper or lower channel line without being too defined, which
can cause the risk of missing the finest opportunity.
In the book of Dr. Alexander Elder, "Come Into My Trading Room: A
Complete Guide to Trading" (2002), he uses his understanding of a stock's
behavior above and below the baseline to define the swing trader's strategy of
"buying regularity and selling mania" or "shorting regularity and covering
depression." Once the swing trader used the EMA to recognize the typical
baseline on the stock chart, the trader goes long at the baseline once the stock
is heading up and short at the baseline once the stock is on its way down.
Therefore, swing traders are not looking to smash the home run by a single
trade; they are not alarmed with the perfect time to purchase a stock exactly
at its bottom and sell exactly at its top. In a perfect trading environment,
beginners should wait for the stock to hit its baseline and confirm its way
before they make their moves. The story becomes more complex when a
tougher uptrend or downtrend is at play. The trader may unexpectedly go
long once the stock dips below its EMA and pause for the stock to go back up
in an uptrend, or a trader may short a stock that has stuck above the EMA and
wait for it to drop if the time-consuming trend is down.
NOTE:
Many traders believe that they cannot make trades by greater as their account
is too small.
If a trader is calculating his position before each trade and risking a similar
amount in each trade, then a trader ought to be able to play a trade whether
the stop is 60 pips or 10.
Popular Swing Trading Strategies:
Swing trading is frequently done within trends, and this is a common way;
it can also be successfully carried out in ranging markets. A swing trader
analyses the price profit and action from the greater part of the market's next
swing. The markets spend far-off extra of their time reaching; then they do
create clear trends higher or lower and being capable to successfully trade
ranging markets, is critical.
Forex Swing Trading Strategies:
Swing trading is not a strategy; it is a style. The time frame of swing
trading describes this style, and within that, there are unlimited strategies that
we can use to swing trade. Swing trading is a style that works over short to
moderate time frames. Swing trading style lies between the very long time
frames of position trading and short time frames of day trading. It is not so
short that it requires all your time observing the market, yet it is short enough
to offer plenty of trading chances. These strategies are not limited to swing
trading; it is the case with most technical strategies, support and
resistance are the ideas behind them.
These concepts can give a trader two choices within the swing trading
strategy with, following the trend, or trading counter to the trend. Counter
trending strategies aim to profit once support and resistance levels hold up.
Trend following strategies looks for the chances when support and resistance
levels break down.
For trading swing traders can use the following strategies for actionable
trading opportunities:
Swing trading strategy 1: Trend trading
When classifying a trend, it's essential to recognize that markets don’t tend
to move in a straight line. Even while eventually trending, they move up and
down in step like moves. A trader should recognize an uptrend by the market,
making higher highs and higher lows, and a downtrend by recognizing lower
lows and lower highs. Many swing trading strategies of trying to catch and
follow a short trend.
Swing trading strategy 2: Counter-trend trading
The next swing trading strategy is counter-trend trading and therefore does
the reverse of the first one. We practice the similar principles in terms of
trying to spot relatively short-term trends from building, but now try to profit
as of the frequency with which these trends tend to break down.
NOTE:
Uptrend = Higher lows and Higher highs
Downtrend = Lower lows and lower highs
 A counter-trend trader would effort to catch the swing in this period of
reversion. Therefore, the trader would try to identify the break in the trend. In
an uptrend, this might be a fresh high was followed by a series of failures to
break new highs. Hence we go short in expectation of such a reversion. The
reverse is true in a downtrend.
Itis very important to maintain a strong discipline encounter trending if the
price travels against you, and if the market resumes its trend against you, then
you should be ready to admit that you are wrong, and you had drawn a line
under the trade.
Swing trading strategy 3: A versatile swing trading strategy
If a trader would like to take an even deeper dive into swing trading,
besides learning a multipurpose strategy that even beginners can use. Being a
versatile trader means that a trader is able to trade any instrument, in any
timeframe or in any direction.
Improving swing trading strategies for beginners:
What swing can traders do to increase their strategies?
There are numerous things a trader can try. The first thing is to effort to
match the trade with the long-term trend. While the hourly chart helps the
swing trader to also look at a longer-term chart to get a feel for the long-
standing trend. Try and trade merely once your direction matches whatever
you see as the long-term trend. Another way to recover your swing trading
strategy is to use a technical indicator to confirm your thinking.
A moving average (MA) is one more indicator you can use to help. An
MA flattens the prices to give a clearer view of the trend. And because an
MA includes older price data, it's an easy way to match how the recent prices
compare to older prices.

Managing risk in Forex swing trading:

Have you ever read about trading Forex and that the widely held of traders
that lost money because of it? Have you ever understood that this is even true
for successful traders?
The reality is that no trader wins 100% of the time. Most of the time it
happens that the beginners of the swing trading misjudge the market,
sometimes it moves unexpectedly, sometimes the trader might just make a
mistake. This is the point where risk management and money management
are so important.
In trading, but especially in Forex, a trader should know how to lose
before knowing how to get success. And when traders talk about having
enough knowledge on how to lose, he should also know how to lose tiny to
win big. Basically, if a trader can achieve a swing trading risk, then he can
close out losing trades early, which will help to ensure he enjoys extra profits
than losses.
Some tips for handling your risk in swing trading include:
1. Maximum acceptable loss:

In spite of the fact that a trade clearly wants his next trade to make a profit,
it's important to think through the supreme amount you are prepared to lose
on a trade. The minute a trader knows this amount can set a stop loss to close
his trade spontaneously if it travels too far in the incorrect direction then this
will help to protect him when he can't automatically be at your computer
observing every trade.
2. Taking a risk on any one trade:

No matter what is the size of your trading account, you must avoid risking
your whole balance on a trade. If a trader does not follow that, then he can
possibly lose it all. Andover-all rule is not to risk more than 2% of your
account balance on any one trade.
3. Increasing account balance to diversify risk:

Despite the fact that a trader might be able to open an account from as
little as €300, it is better to start using a larger sum. This means that a trader
will have an adequate amount of your account to trade a diversity of assets
and expand the risk of swing trading. Swing trading is by description a long-
term investment style, so you need extra verge on your places to manage with
market explosive nature.
4. Information about your profile:

One of the first and most important things to do when you start trading in
the market is to understand your risk aversion and volatility. In other words,
at what stage of the loss will a trader starts to panic? If a swing trader has an
account balance of €25,000 and he has lost €3,000, then this means that the
trader has lost 10% of his capital. In that case, would he be a failure, or would
he think through that to be usual? How the trader will respond to this loss will
influence the risks he is willing to take in trading.
You can see that this strategy will be easy for a beginner to understand.
Therefore, a Swing Trading strategy is an average and long-term trading
strategy. This strategy is very dependent on the capital and management of
risks. It is most commonly called money management swing trading.
Swing trading money management:
Once a trader understands the big picture of the trading after that, he still
has to manage his risk every day in the market. And one way to do trading
wisely is by managing your money successfully. It might give the impression
like a complex question, but in reality, it doesn't have to be.
For example: If a trader wanted to keep the total risk of 6% of his account
balance so he could have six trades opened, each risking 1% of his assets.
For that reason, a trader could lose 1% of his capital in six different trades
or a maximum amount of €200 in each trade if you had an account of
€20,000. At that point, before taking a position, a trader should be aware of
his maximum risk for proper management of his assets in Swing Trading that
will be 1% or 200 euros. For that reason, your stop-loss and neutralization
position will be determined previously by each position. And from there, you
should perform as many actions as you can without overcoming your risk
management.
That boundary will then affect your actions, and you will close since the
trade is approaching your loss limit, or you will lose the trade because the
asset goes up and reaches the target profit. And if a trade passes the
breakeven fact, at which point it develops a 'neutral' trade, you can take on a
new site, without endangering your risk limit.
The best tools for swing trading:
There is a range of tools a trader can use to improve his chances of success
while performing swing trading strategies.
Some ranges that are recommended:
 Correlation Matrix: The relationship between Forex pairs, supplies, or
stock guides is one element of analysis that allows sensible trading to
trade with self-confidence.

on a single chart. Which means that there is no need for the trader to shift

entry point

In the same manner, this Forex swing indicator lets traders understand on a
single chart the trading signals of the maximum used indicators on eight
different interval scales.

a second, but then again, it also permits the swing trader to open trades
regarding the risk in permanent euros or in percentage. In fact, it provides
you with diverse information associated with the stock market or the currency

current movements and current momentum

Top tips for Forex swing trading for beginners:
After knowing the basics of the swing, and after having enough
information about the Forex swing trading strategies, here are the top tips that
will help you to succeed as a swing trader.
1. Match your trades by the long-term trend:

Although a trader may always be looking at a time chart of shorter-term

(e.g., H1 or H4), it may also comfort the beginner to look at a longer-term
chart (D1 or W1) to get the information about the long-term trend. Then
you can make sure that you aren't trading beside a larger trend. Swing
trading is also much easier when it’s been trading by means of the trend,
rather than against the trend.
2. Make the best of Moving Averages (MAs):

The MA indicator may profit the trader to classify trends by moderating

shorter-term price differences. Since the MA comprises old data prices, it
is the easiest way to associate what way the existing price links with older
prices.
3. Use a little leverage:

Leverage lets the trader access a larger position than it would usually let
your deposit, together with strengthening your profits and losses. Once
used wisely, leverage can help the trader to make the most of winning
trades.
4. Trade a wide-ranging portfolio of Forex pair:

Lookout as several currency pairs as you can to discover the best

opportunities. The Forex market will every time offer you trading
opportunities you want; you need to look for the ones that match best with
your signal. Plus, trading a range of pairs will support to diversify your
portfolio, and achieve the risk of having all your eggs in one basket.
5. Pay attention to swaps:
 Swaps are a cost of trading concern charge ready for positions held
overnight. These swaps need to be taken into account in swing trading of
the trader in order to be able to manage your money better.
6. Maintaining a positive profit/loss ratio:

Whether it is H4 or daily trading, swing trading allows the trader to tap

into large market schedules, giving the trader the chance to get larger
profit ratios associated with very small losses possible, especially when
matched to scalping.
7. Put a side your sentiments:

It's better to trade without emotions, but then again, to make swing trades
as a part of a fixed Forex trading plan and strategy.
Choose a Broker for Forex Swing:
Before a trader starts trading, a trader needs to choose a broker. Choosing
a broker for the Forex market will give a chance to the new traders to access
the markets in a way that wants to trade, along with a trading platform to
carry out his trades. Though some brokers are better than others, that’s why it
is essential to keep the following in mind while making a choice.
Check if they are synchronized by the local regulator in your area? Admiral
Markets is a Forex and CFD broker that is controlled by the EFSA, ASIC
CYSEC, and FCA.
The costs of trading contain the spread, the swap, and orders on trades,
which know how to eat into your profits. That’s why it is essential to have
knowledge about typical trading costs.
A standard Forex share, or trading contract, is value 100,000 of the base
currency of the pair before the first currency listed (if one share of the
EUR/USD costs EUR 100,000). For new traders, this might be extra than
you want to see, so check whether the broker deals micro (0.01) and mini
(0.1) lots for trading.
To make knowledgeable trading decisions, it is essential to have the latest
market information. Good Forex and CFD brokers will deal with live
price facts in their trading platform.
The next point is having knowledge about the market and how much leverage
does the broker offer? If you talk about Europe, in Europe, the brokers
 should offer access to leverage up to 1:500 for Specialized Clients and
1:30 for Retail Customers.
What is the least amount a trader needs to start trading? At Admiral
Markets, a trader can supply the trading account with as little as €100.
This also allows the trader to start small trade without taking a major risk
and add as you learn the market psychology and behavior of self-
governing trading.
Admiral Markets can support the trader to decrease his trading risk
with volatility defense and negative balance protection.
Will, the broker, let the trader not simply swing trade, but day trade and
scalp as well, if that's a part of the strategy?
Does the broker in swing trading provide tools and resources to help the
beginner to succeed as a trader? As if we talk about Admiral Markets, for
example, it has a library of more than hundreds of Forex articles, free
courses like Forex 101, and free trading webinars.
Forex Swing Trading Strategies

frequent trading chances. Though the trader will need to capitalize a
reasonable amount of time into observing the market with swing trading, the
supplies are not as difficult as trading styles with smaller time frames, such as
day trading or scalping. In calculation, even if you give favor to day trade or
scalping, swing trading will offer you few diversifications in your outcomes
as well as additional profits. It is said that swing trading is not for all traders,

 4. SWING AND DAY TRADING
INDICATORS

What are the indicators of trading?

“Trading indicators are the mathematical calculations, that are designed to predict what market will
do.”

T rading indicators are plotted as lines on a price chart and may comfort
traders to identify certain signals and trends within the market. The
number one indicator could be a forecast signal that calculates future
price movements, while a lagging indicator looks at past trends and indicates
momentum.
Why Are Technical Indicators Important?
Technical indicators are supported algorithms that practice previous price-
data in the calculation. As an outcome, all technical indicators of trading are
lagging in their natural surroundings, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t
return useful information once day trading the markets. Deprived of the
assistance of indicators, traders would have a tough time
calculating this volatility of the markets, the strength of a trend, or whether
market conditions are overbought or oversold.
That being said, an entire trading strategy shouldn’t be dependent solely on
technical indicators. They return the simplest results as a confirmation tool.
Don’t buy just because the RSI is below 30 or sell because the Stochastics
oscillator increases directly above 80. As an alternative, a trader should create
a definite trading strategy (built on price-action or the fundamentals, for
instance) and using technical indicators simply to substantiate a
possible setup and modify your entry levels.
Types of Technical Indicators
Depending on the knowledge that technical indicators provide, they'll be
grouped into three main categories:
Trend-following indicators.
Momentum indicators.
Volatility indicators.
1. Trend-following indicators

Trend-following indicators are accustomed to determine trends and to

live the strong point of a trending market. While most traders are able
to identify a trend just by staring at the value chart, it’s often difficult to
live its strength or to identify a trend early in its establishment. The
common trend-following indicators also contain moving averages,
MACD, and also the ADX indicator, to call some.
2. Momentum indicator:

It usually measures the strength of recent price-moves relative to previous

periods. They vary in the middle of 0 and 100, on condition of the signals
of the indicator of overbought and oversold market circumstances.
Momentum indicators return a marketing signal when values begin to
maneuver strongly higher, and a buying signal when prices start to
maneuver strongly lower. While this will be profitable in ranging markets,
momentum indicators usually return false signals during strong trends.
Some samples of momentum indicators include the RSI, Stochastics, and
CCI.
3. Volatility indicators:

Volatility indicators, as per their name recommends, it measures the

volatility of the fundamental instrument. Traders are generally chasing
volatility from corner to different corner markets to hunt out profitable
trading opportunities, which makes volatility indicators a strong tool for
day trading. Samples of volatility indicators include Bollinger Bands and
also the ATR indicator, among others.
Every investor has faith in the strategy of buying and holding. The only
topic of disputation is how long the holding era should last. For every
teenager who started buying unappreciated equity and holds it for eight
decades, collecting shares along the way, there are dozens of more risk-takers
who dearth to get out of their positions in less than a week. This not only
requires a stock to rise quickly but also to go up in price high sufficient to
offset any matter costs. Swing trading is for the stockholder who factually
can’t wait for the weekend.
Swing trading is the most fast-paced trading process that is manageable for
everyone, even those beginners who have just jumped into the world of
trading. The speed of swing trading is slower than day trading, which also
delivers the trader with sufficient time to formulate a practice and execute a
little research before building decisions on your trade. Swing trading is also a
rare method for those looking to create a foray into day trading to increase
their skills before embarking on the extra complex day trading process.
Those technical indicators are the mathematical tools that can
give actionable info out of a stock plan that can seem uninformed at times. In
the hands of an appropriately lucky risk-taker, the right technical indicators
can spell a chance for profit. Now, just a rare of the ones most commonly
used by swing traders, in ascending order of complexity.
Swing traders tend to have not the same goals as day traders, which goal to
pick up on rapid intraday changes due to a catalyst.
Swing trades, on the other hand, tend to goal for “swings” moving from a
short-term low back to a new high.
Swing trading signals tend to look not the same as day trading signals. Day
traders frequently look for high volatility and volume and look to ride a trend,
possibly buying at a pullback to VWAP.
Before we talk about the trading indicators, it is essential to understand
what they represent and why and how they represent it are also important
questions to think. Swing trading indicators are not better than any other
method of technical analysis, and it should certainly not have seen as the
divine grail. It is not assured that any trade that a trader makes will yield
profit just for the reason that a trading indicator signaled it.
Here are few other factors that can have an influence on whether you end
up creating a profit or bearing a loss in swing trading:
Market Conditions can frequently reduce the effectiveness of indicators. Even
if it appears like security is nearby to go up, a broad bearish emotion
could cause it to additional fall in value.
The timing of your trade needs to be rigorous. Receiving the right time can
be authoritative to create a huge profit.
What many people call perception is simply know-how. Like all other things,
you will turn out to be a better trader as you spend extra time trading and
 pick up on subtle market signals.
Swing Trading Indicators:
Swing trade indicators are important to focus on when selecting when to
buy when to trade, and what to buy. Some of the top combinations of
indicators for swing trading are given below.
1. Moving Averages:
The moving average is one of the foremost basic trading indicators in
swing trading. A moving average smoothens erratic short-term price
movements and comforts us to better understand the trend and in what
way the safety is moving. Moving Averages are good indicators on their own,
but they are also used as a base for other, more descriptive indicators. Swing
trader should not forget this that moving averages approximately always lag
behind the present price thanks to factoring in past data. The more data
you think about, the larger the lag. Therefore, as a swing trader. It is smart to
mix short term moving averages with longer-term moving averages. Doing
so, you think about both the long and short term trend and have
more ground on which to base your decisions.
When a trader is observing at moving averages, he will be observing at the
calculated lines built on past prices. This indicator is not difficult to
understand, and it is also difficult to look at whether you are doing day
trading, swing trading, or else even trading longer term. They are used to
either confirm a trend or identify a trend. To decide the average, a trader will
need to sum up all of the concluding prices as well as the number for days the
period covers and then divide the concluding prices via the number of days.
To successfully use moving averages, a trader will need to compute different
time periods and link them on a chart. This will give the trader a broader
lookout of the market, as well as their average changes over time. When you
have planned your moving averages, you then must use them to consider in
on your trade decisions. You can practice them to:
Recognize the Strength of a Trend:
If the present price of the stock and trend is beyond from its moving
average, then it is considered to be a weaker trend. Trend strength, shared by
an indicator like volume, can help you create better choices on your trades.
Determining Trend Reversals:
 You can use moving averages to recognize trend reversals with limits. You
need to watch for instances where the current moving averages cross the
longer moving averages after an uptrend. Though this is not the only
instrument, you should use to regulate reversal, but it can comfort you to
determine whether you should explore it further.
2. Relative Strength Index:
Welles Wilder developed the RSI indicator within the 1970s and
distributed his findings in New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. The
book may be a classic text which presented multiple conventional technical
indicators like RSI, Average True Range, and, therefore, the Average
Directional Index. A simple explanation of RSI’s calculation is
linking this price strength relative to past price strength. For instance, a 14-
period RSI on a daily chart will compare today’s price to the last 13 closes. A
high reading points out that today’s price is powerful, relative to the previous
13 closes, and contrariwise. Wilder planned that RSI could be used as a
momentum oscillator: measuring exactly how tough the momentum is during
a market, but then RSI came to be used in a different way. RSI is mostly used
by the traders as an overbought-oversold indicator, where a great reading
means that the stock is “overbought” and is unavoidable for a pullback. In the
comparison, an “oversold” reading indicates that the market is due for a rally
because it’s been sold-off an excessive amount of. This consumption of the
indicator compares to the aim of a momentum oscillator, contained by
which a great analysis indicates that this trend is further likely to last. In the
conventional time series of 14-period RSI is used. The situation is the one
suggested in also Wilders’ work and is defaulting in maximum charting
platforms. On the other hand, the study of Larry Connors's point towards the
14-period RSI comprises a miniature edge, in which shorter-term RSI
analyses produce additional commercial signals.
Connors’ research indicates that the 2, four, and blended RSI periods
show the most effective long-term trade expectation. As a result of his
research, Connors developed the Connors RSI indicator (which measures the
speed of change of RSI), which is included with most charting packages
nowadays.
Relative strength index (RSI) is one of the finest technical indicators for
swing trading. This indicator is responsible for giving the information you
need to determine once the ideal enters into the market. It allows traders to
investigate small signals better. This will help the trader to regulate if the
market has been oversold or overbought, is range-bound, or is flat. The RSI
will give the trader a relative evaluation of how to secure the existing price by
examining both past instability and performance. This indicator will be easily
recognized by using a range of 1-100. The RSI indicator is most convenient
for:
Determining the circumstances that led the market to oversold or
overbought:
A trader will need to be able to classify these conditions so that a trader
can find equally trend reversal and corrections. Overbuying can indicate a
bearish trend even though overselling can be seen as more bullish. If the
indicator is around 30, it could be indicated as an undervalue or oversold.
Indicators about 70 may mean that the security was overrated or overbought.
Identifying Divergences:
Divergences are used to classify reversals in trends. When the value hits a
new low, but then the RSI does not, then at that time, it would be considered
as a bullish divergent signal. If the value hits a new high and the RSI doesn’t,
then that would be termed a bearish signal.
3. Volume:
A generally overlooked indicator that is easiest for beginners to use, even
for new traders, is volume. Looking at volume is very critical when you
are considering trends. Trends need to be maintained and supported by
volume. A trader always wants to make sure that there is more significant
volume going on when the trend is going in that way. Increasing volume
means money supporting the safety, and if you do not see the volume, it may
possibly be an indication that there are undervalued conditions at play.
4. Visual Analysis Indicator:
Despite the fact that technical indicators for swing trading are critical for
making the right choices, it is helpful from many shareholders, both new and
experienced, to be able to look at visual patterns. By generating visuals
patterns, a trader can see the activities in the market with a quick glance to
help support your decision.
5. The Flow of Net Imbalances:
Each day, there are a lot of orders to be found to urge the closing print
(market-on-close orders). These are typically institutions like mutual funds
and ETFs that need the large liquidity provided at the market
close. Some minutes before they close every day, the interactions will
distribute information on the order inequalities at the market close. That
is, what number more shares are being accepted than sold at the close? For
instance, if market-on-close buy orders are equaling 100,000 shares, and sell
orders equaling 90,000 shares, that’s a +10,000 share imbalance.
Market makers arbitrage this within the short-term and make pennies, that’s
not a timeframe we are able to compete in. However, we are able to track the
cash flow of a stock or sector by tracking the trend of the online imbalances
over time.
If there are determined in closing the imbalances in one sector, it’s
indicating that institutions are collecting an edge therein stock. This
provides us vital information that a major price move could be on the
precipice. The tool I exploit to measure imbalance money flow is Market
Chameleon. MC allows you to easily view 20-days or 50-days moving
averages of capital inflows and outflows of sectors, industries, indexes, or
watch lists.
Day Trading Indicators:
To find the simplest technical indicators for your particular day-trading
approach, test out a bunch of them singularly and so together. You will find
yourself sticking with, say, four that are evergreen otherwise,
you may flip counting on the asset you're trading or the market situations of
the day. Regardless of whether you are day-trading stocks, forex, or futures,
it's often best to stay it simple when it involves technical indicators. You
will find you like viewing only a pair of indicators to endorse entry points
and exit points. At most, use simply one from each type of indicator to dodge
avoidable and distracting repetition.
Combining Day-Trading Indicators
Consider a combination of sets of two indicators on your expense chart to
classify points to initiate and get hold of out of a trade.
For example, Relative strength index RSI and moving average
convergence/divergence will be combined on the screen to recommend and
strengthen a trading signal.
The relative strength index (RSI) can recommend overbought or oversold
conditions by measuring the value momentum of an asset. The indicator was
produced by J. Welles Wilder Jr, who proposed the momentum reaching 30
(on a scale of zero to 100) was an indication of an asset being oversold, and
so a buying chance and a 70 percent level was an indication of an asset is
overbought and so a selling or short-selling chance.
Constance Brown, CMT, refined the service of the index and assumed the
oversold level in an exceedingly upward-trending market was fundamentally
much above 30, and therefore, the overbought level in a downward-trending
market was much below 70.3 .Using Wilder's levels, the asset price
can still trend higher for a few times, whereas the RSI is signifying
overbought and the other way around. For that reason, RSI is best
monitored only if its signal imitates to the value trend: as an example, hunt
for bearish momentum indications when the value trend is bearish and pay no
attention to those indications when the value trend is bullish.
To more easily identify those price trends, you'll be able to use the moving
average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator. MACD consists of two
chart lines. The MACD line is made by eliminating a 26-period exponential
moving average (EMA) from a 12-period EMA. An EMA is that the average
value of an asset over a period of your time only with the key change that the
foremost recent prices are given greater allowance than prices farther out.
The second line is the signal line and could be a 9-period EMA. A bearish
trend is signaled once the MACD line crosses under the signal line; a bullish
trend is signaled after the MACD line crosses directly above the signal line.
Choosing Pairs:
While selecting pairs, it is a good knowledge to decide on one indicator
that's measured a number one indicator, i.e., RSI and one that's a lagging
indicator, i.e., like MACD. Most important indicators make signals before the
conditions for entering the trade have arisen. Lagging indicators make
warning signs after those circumstances have looked as if, in order that
they can act as verification of leading indicators and might prevent you from
trading on made-up signals.
A trader must also first-rate a pairing that features indicators as of two of
the four different types, never two of the same type. The four types are
development like MACD, moments like RSI, volatility, and volume. As
their names suggest, volatility indicators are supported volatility within
the asset's price, and volume indicators are supported trading volumes of the
asset. It's typically not useful to look at two indicators of the identical type
since they'll be on condition that the identical information.
Using Multiple Indicators:
A trader might also opt to have live one indicator of every type; it might
possibly be two of which are maximum substantial and two of which are
lagging. Numerous indicators can provide even more strengthening of trading
signals and might increase your probabilities of hunting down made-up
signals.
Refining Indicators:
Whatsoever indicators you choose, make sure to research them, and take
summaries on their effectiveness over time. Ask yourself: What are an
indicator's disadvantages? Does it produce several made-up signals? Does it
fail to signal, leading to missed chances? Does it signal too early (more
probable of a number one indicator) or too late (more likely of a lagging
one)?
You may find one indicator is actual when trading stocks but not, say,
forex. You may want to switch out an indicator for an additional one
amongst its type or make changes in how it's planned. Making such
modifications could be a key part of success when day-trading with technical
indicators.
Should You Trade on Technical Indicators?
Technical indicators practice past price-data in their calculation and, as a
result, lagging this price. On the other hand, since historical data is that
the only piece of knowledge that traders must do in advance for future price
movements, technical indicators do have a very important role during a well-
defined trading strategy.
Avoiding the addition of too adding too many indicators to your chart as
indicators of the identical type generally return similar trading signals. As a
replacement for, choose only one indicator out of every group (momentum,
trend-following, and volatility) and mix their indications to verify a situation
and trade supported it. An efficient mixture of indicators might be the moving
be around, the RSI indicator, and, therefore, the ATR indicator, for instance.
Don’t base your trading decisions totally on indicators and their signals.
Trend-following indicators return a buy signal when prices start to
maneuver higher, whether or not the market is trading sideways. In the same
way, oscillators and momentum indicators will offer you a marketing signal
when prices start to increase during an uptrend. There's no single greatest
indicator, which is why you ought to combine different types of indicators
and include them into a broader trading strategy.
 5. PROS AND CONS OF SWING AND DAY
TRADING

wing trading is far and away one among the foremost popular ways to
S trade commercial markets. But like any style of strategy, there are both
pros and cons when using it, and knowing those prior times may be
crucial so as to choose if it's for you within the long term.
Advantages of Swing Trading
It allows you to require the benefit of the natural ebb and flow of markets.
Financial markets never go into one way continually, and by having the
ability to require the benefit of that, you'll rise your returns as you, in
theory, are visiting be making money once the market rises over the
subsequent few days, then make some while the market pulls back, because
it will definitely do sooner or later.
By actuality in and out of the markets, you'll identify more chances. If you
study any economic chart, you'll see that there's nearly always a precise
long-term trend, but the market may not continuously be at a sustenance
or resistance area. By being in an exceedingly and out of the market in a
matter of some days (typically), you'll collect profits and identify other
markets that are putting in for other trades. This enables you to spread the
danger around and ties up lots less capital rather than continually having
to come back up with margin for brand spanking new positions as you
discover new trades. By closing your first position, you'll not deposit extra
money in your account to hide the second.
Stop losses are typically smaller than long-run trades. The stop losses on a
swing trade may well be 100 pips based upon a four-hour chart, while a
stop loss on a weekly chart that's based upon the trend might need to be
400 pips. This enables you to put larger sized positions rather
than extremely low leveraged ones via the longer-term trends.
You've got clear boundaries. The swing trader could be an extra technical
based trader, and per se will normally have a particular area that they
deem as being an indication the trade is functioning against them. Due to
 this, you recognize exactly when the trade isn’t working and may limit the
damage a nasty trade can do. Longer-term traders normally must provide
a wide berth for the markets as they look forward to them to “go with the
fundamentals.”
Disadvantages of Swing Trading
You will get whipsawed often, simply because the market shows support or
resistance at a particular area, doesn’t mean they'll be respecting it today.
Also, anytime you can place a trade, you're risking money. Due to this, as
a swing trader, you're risking it more often. Odds are you'll have losses
from time to time, irrespective of how good you're.
You will get to be knowledgeable in technical analysis. Whereas not
necessarily a “disadvantage,” it means extra work. Nearly any person can
tell the trend on a chart that's going from the lower left to the upper right
over time, but someone was trying to swing trade that a chart must identify
entry and exit points. This is often something a technical analysis can do,
but you would have to tell about it first. This takes time.
It takes a unique mindset than long-run trading and more nerves. While it
isn’t necessarily scalping, the swing trader does run the danger of being
“alarmed out of the markets” as pullbacks in these lesser ranges appear
to be more violent than to someone observing a weekly chart. This is
often a psychological issue and one that the majority of traders will
eventually accommodate during their careers.
As you'll see, there are pros and cons to swing trading, a bit like the rest.
To be honest, most traders do a touch of varied different styles because the
markets aren’t necessarily always conducive to at least one particular style of
trading and sometimes can involve others. An honest trader is able to use
various styles of trading so as to extend their funds. The trader must befit the
markets, not the opposite way around.
Swing Trading Example:
Find a stock in the market that has been trading in the direction of the
upside for the past week, and has prepared short & sharp bottoms on its daily
chart. Also, determine the stock’s performance since the uptrend started and
note if its price refunded to the moving average thrice. If it did, and also
penetrated the moving average at a median of 1.5% of its price, a good buy
order may be placed. This order may be approximately 1% of the stock’s
price below the moving average.
When the trade has been moving, it's advisable to put a stop loss near the
entry point to curb losses. And profits may be taken near the upper channel
line for weak markets, and at the upper station line, for strong markets. The
purpose is to take profits in line with your trading plan, but an expert trader
may favor holding for ages longer till when the market doesn't visit new
highs.
Advantages of Day Trading:
Trading strategy:
Day trading lets you use a range of trading strategies across all major
markets. Common day trading strategies contain breakout trading, counter-
trend trading, and trend-following (or mean-reversion). In breakout trading,
traders try and catch the early volatility that happens instantaneously after the
worth breaks a very important technical level, like chart patterns. Incomplete
orders tend to bunch above and below important levels, which ends up in a
flow in momentum and volatility after the worth hits those levels and triggers
the undecided orders. Breakout trading also lets day traders line an
incomplete order to catch a breakout once it happens, as pending orders
become market orders once the worth reaches the pre-specified level. Popular
technical tools employed by breakout traders contain chart patterns, like head
and shoulders patterns, triangles, double tops and bottoms, triple tops and
bottoms, rectangles, wedges, and flags. Additionally, breakout traders also
can make the most of the volatility that happens after the worth breaks above
or below a channel, trend line, or horizontal funding or resistance levels.
Trend-following strategies, as their name proposes, include opening day
trades within the direction of the underlying intra-day trend. Trend-
following is probably the foremost popular trading strategy among day
traders because it returns a lovely risk-to-reward ratio with a
comparatively high success rate. To open exchange the way of the underlying
trend, await the worth to finish a pullback (e.g., to a very important intraday
Fibonacci level) and use candlestick patterns to form sure the underlying
trend is on the point of continue.
Counter-trend trading strategies include opening trades within the other
way of the underlying trend. Counter-trend trader's goal to catch market
corrections that occur after a chronic and powerful uptrend or downtrend.
This trading strategy is slightly riskier than breakout trading and trend-
following and may be used only by knowledgeable day traders.
More Trading Opportunities:
Since day trading could be a relatively fast-paced trading style, it offers an
outsized number of trading opportunities – on a daily basis. Day traders base
their choices totally on intraday timeframes, like the 15-min, 30-min, 1-hour,
and 4-hour ones. Those timeframes offer way more tradeable setups than the
daily or weekly charts employed by swing traders and position traders,
which could be a major advantage of day trading.
However, keep in mind that shorter-term timeframes usually contain more
market noise, which might quickly accumulate losses if you set your stop-
loss levels too tight. To avoid this, try and measure the typical volatility
of the security that you are trading (by means of the ATR indicator, for
instance), and place your stop losses for that reason.
An advanced amount of trading chances doesn’t essentially mean more
income. A trader should follow your trading plan and only place those trades
that are completely in-line with your strategy. Risk management also plays a
very important role in day trading success, so confirm to risk a
little percentage of your trading account on any single trade.
Higher Trading Costs:
Even though day trading the market, you’ll have greater trading costs than
once swing or position trading the market. Since day trading contains
opening more trades throughout the day, choose a broker that has tight
spreads and low trading fees. Some brokers offer stable spreads, which
might be exciting for traders who want to trade around significant news
releases and retain trading costs low. News releases tend to steer to high
market slippage, volatility, higher trading costs, which are a few things you
wish to grasp if you’re about to trade important market reports. Within
the long term, those trading costs can quickly add up and reduce your profits.
Limited Profit Potential:
Assumed the shorter holding periods of trades and shorter timeframes on
which day traders base their choices, day trading includes a more restricted
profit potential linked to swing trading. Additionally, traders close their
trades by the tip of the trading day irrespective of their profit. While this
practice removes overnight risk, it also limits the probable profits of
promising trade setups.
Risk of Overleveraging Your Trades:
Most markets don’t change much over the day. As a result, day traders
utilize more leverage to squeeze out the foremost profits and make the
most of these small price actions. While leverage is often very efficient,
traders who over-leverage their trades also risk larger losses.
Leverage may be a double-edged sword and will be used only per your
trading plan to ensure to make a strict risk management attempt to cap your
influence or risk-per-trade in such how that removes the danger of ruin (i.e.,
blowing your account.)
Market Noise
The shorter the timeframe, you’re trading on the more market noise you've
got to handle. Market noise represents unpredictable and unpredictable price
behavior with none technical reasoning or news that would have led to those
movements. Market noise presents a true problem for short-term traders, and
therefore the only thanks to avoiding getting stopped out too early are to
widen your stop-loss level. Take a glance at the previous volatility within
the pair, and take a look at to line your stop-loss above or below recent
support and resistance levels, giving the market sufficient space to perform.
 CONCLUSION

wing trading is extremely popular because it is administrated on higher

S time-frame charts allowing a trader to trade the markets, hold
down employment, study, or do other things with their time. It may
also be accustomed to capture the big intraday moves for the traders who are
looking to trade within the sessions and don’t want to carry trades overnight
or for extended periods of time. This is only one trading strategy of the
many traders who can have their own toolbox. Before deciding if it's for
you, confirm your test and excellent it on a demo trading account.
A trader should be disciplined and rigorous to start out day trading. A
typical day trader problem is that they act and deviate from their strategy.
Sometimes you can pass before you realize you’re not strictly following your
initial strategy. This will trouble the victory rate of the strategy and breaks the
odds. An honest thanks to tackling discipline issues is to jot down the
precise rules of your strategy and stick the note to your monitor so it'll always
be ahead of you during trading sessions. This way, you’ll continually be
reminded to follow your strategy rules. In each of the above trades, we’ve
carefully calculated the end result. You ought to do so, too, to be conversant
in what exactly can happen to you in every trade. When you get extra
established, it gets easier, and a few progressive day trading apps also
will calculate everything for you spontaneously. Although being different to
day trading, reviews and results propose swing trading could also be a nifty
system for beginners to start out with. This can be due to the intraday that
changes dozens of securities can be proven too hectic. Whereas swing traders
will see their earnings within a pair of days, keeping motivation levels high.
At the identical time vs. long-term trading, swing trading is brief enough to
stop interruption.
Online trading is one of the most searched words on Google by those who
plan to start making money from the financial markets. The doubts are
various. There is the hope of earning easy money and solving all economic
problems in a short time and there is also the fear of losing everything due to
some scam.
 These doubts and misconceptions arise from the fact that most people
who dream of trading do not really know what it is.
For many it is only a vague hope of earning, something that generates easy
money that they have heard about from some relative or friend. Online
trading, of course, can be an extremely profitable activity as long as you have
a basic preparation and, above all, to use serious platforms,
Those who start trading binary options for the first time may find
themselves displaced by the need to use strategies to earn. The basic idea is
that a trading strategy is something extremely complex and elaborate.
Nothing could be more false. Strategies can be complex but they can also be
simple. Never use complex strategies if you are at the beginning of a trader's
career. We strongly recommend that you do only the things you can
understand.
An alternative solution, perfect for those who really don't know anything
about finance, is constituted by trading signals. Thanks to these signals it is

if it is evident that everything depends on the initial choice that is made
