Vayda Bazaar ni chavi is a Gujarati handwritten book by Mr Kanti Parekh (fondly known as Kanti kaka),
during early nineties. He was a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi as a freedom fighter at the age of 11. He
developed interest in trading markets and started maintaining hand-drawn charts. Over his long jounrey of
trading the markets, he discovered different price formations and named them as chavi which litterly mean
'key' in Gujarati. There are different bullish and bearish price patterns explained in detail in the book along
with stories of trading them.

This is an attempt to translate and explain his price formations in brief. Name of the patterns and other
terminologies which are in Gujarati are kept the same.

General rules & key terms:

Abhay (Vavo): Follow the stop

Alobh (Lano): Book at least half when reward is three times the risk taken
Avilamb (Khotbandho): Don't hesitate to book the loss
Apramad (Navo saudo): Don't hesitate in taking the trade again, even at higher price
Dhruv day: First day of a week (Usually Monday)
Dhruv: Open price of first day of week
Arundhati day: Last day of week (Normally Friday)
Arundhati: Closing price of last day of week

Basic rules:

Never Buy below Dhruv

Never Sell above Dhruv
The trade gests activated if price crosses 3 steps above or below the required price level. One step
is usually the spread of that scrip. (Spread during those days used to be huge. Looking at the charts
in the book, general rule can be formed that one step is 0.50% - 1% of the stock price).

fall in prices.

Swing Uchchalan

swing bottom, bullish swing uchchalan pattern gets applied. If the day when price formed previous bottom
was bearish, then price has to close above the closing price of that day.

12) TEJI TEER & MANDI TEER

Teji Teer (Bullish pattern)

If current session's low price is above previous session's high price and the session remain bullish, Teji
Teer pattern has been applied. Below is the formula to derive target when Teji teer is applied:

Teji Teer Bottom + ((Swing bottom + Tejii Teer Bottom) x 1.5) = Teji Teer Target

The size of gap should be added to top price of Teji teer to arrive at breakout price. The close above the
breakout price activates the target. If the session turns out to be bearish after forming the gap, Teji teer
pattern gets invalidated.

Mandi Teer

If current session high price remain below previous session's low price and the session remain bearish, the
Mandi Teer has been applied. Below is the calculation of target price:

Mandi Teer Top - ((Swing Top - Mandi Teer Top) x 1.5) = Mandi Teer Target

The size of gap should be deducted from bottom price of Mandi teer to arrive at breakout price. The close
below the breakout price activates the target. If price closes higher after forming the gap, Mandi teer
formation gets failed.

The activation within 3 days leads to quick move with higher probability of target being achieved.

13) DIGMUDH

it is called as Digmudh session. Breakouts after 2-3 Digmudhs indicate strong thrust.

14) PALANTHI

Palanthi formation is applied. If high price of current bearish session happens to be at closing price of
previous session, Bearish Top Palanthi formation is applied.

Vayda Bazar Patterns http://www.definedge.com/vayda-bazar-patterns/

It is a strong reversal formation and indicate change of trend.

15) VISAMO

Whenever you get a move in favour, which is equal to the difference between swing top and swing
bottom, profit should be booked. This is called Visamo. It is experienced that the habit of taking Visamo
prove profitable over a period of time

16) Purna viram?

Below are the criteria for Bullish pattern

Below are the criteria for Bearish pattern

Trend is up and price makes new swing high during the previous session
Opening price of current session is below the swing high and forms the bearish day

Question mark in the name of the pattern indicates confusion. There are signs of reversal but formation is
relatively weak. Confirmation from some other pattern is required.

17) GANONI & GOFAN

If price doesn't breach the bottom of the previous session that was uchchalan, the Bullish Ganoni pattern
is applied. Similarly, if price doesn't breach the top of the previous session that was pachhadat, Bearish
Gofan pattern is applied.

11 of 27 13/09/2017 10:24 PM
Vayda Bazar Patterns http://www.definedge.com/vayda-bazar-patterns/

It is a follow through formation to Uchchalan or Pachhadat reversal patterns.

18) VIJALI AND ZABKARO

After marking new swing bottom, if price forms Mandi teer that immediately gets followed by Teji teer,
Bullish Zabkaro pattern gets applied. Price can lead to test the previous swing high provided Teji teer
doesn't get failed within next 4 sessions.

Similarly, if after marking new swing top, price witnesses Teji teer that immediately gets followed by
Mandi teer, it is known as Bearish Vijali pattern. Price can test the previous swing bottom provided
Mandi teer doesn't get failed within next 4 sessions.

19) AAGE BADHO & PACHHA FARO

continuation pattern Aage badho. Very bullish is defined as, price closing above 70% of the entire session

20) TOOFAN AND AANDHI

Bullish Toofan pattern gets applied when price goes above previous multiple swing tops and session
remains bullish. Similarly, if previous multiple swing bottoms are broken and price remain bearish, then
Bearish Aandhi gets applied.

They are swing breakout formations but author must have seriously observed their importance and
usefulness to give them such aggressive names.

21) VAVO AND LANO

In downtrend, when price opens below recent bottom but recovers eventually and session turns out to be
bullish, the Bullish Vavo pattern is applied. Same way when price open above recent high in the uptrend,
but sessions turns out to be bearish, the Bearish Lano pattern gets applied.

He writes, "Vavo e ketlu motu kanasalu thay chhe e avata divaso ma khabar padse".

22) CHOTALI AND POTALI

This formation was meant for very short term and intraday traders. After breaking the swing bottom when
price moves back above the bottom of the day by 3 steps then bullish chotali pattern gets applied. Buy
with stop placed at bottom of the day. Vice versa for bearish Potali.

Given the availability of intraday software, data and dynamics of the market today, this formation have
lost the relevance. Uchchalan, Pachhadat or other formation on lower time frame charts are more
applicable for short term trading.

In brief

Vayda Bazar Patterns http://www.definedge.com/vayda-bazar-patterns/

All patterns are applicable on all time frames but not all of them may be equally relevant today. Though
they are quite similar to candlestick formations, the rules of trading them along with swing high - lows
makes it an effective swing trading strategy.
It is a mind blowing work considering the fact that Technical analysis was not so popular in India during
the same time. If one knows Gujarati, the original work is a must read and strongly recommended to
understand the formations in detail, and to know about a beautiful journey of a veteran trader. There are
many things similar to what we know from candlestick and swing trading formations as well, but his
experiences and consistent observation demonstrated by many hand-drawn charts and the story of trades
that he narrates makes it a great read.

In TradePoint, scanners and back-testing of all these formations are available. We have also developed
different filters on these formations and tested them on various time frames.
