Nifty: Price Action Macd Strategy: RevisitedFree stuff -- something which we ignore in haste. Unfortunately, whatever education I have been doling out is absolutely free. So please bear with me.
Rules:
-------
Only Long trades when price > 55 EMA
Only short trades when price < 55 EMA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Frame 1H
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long Entry Preconditions:
a) Price above 55 EMA
b) MACD histogram above zero line
--Positive Divergence seen on MACD signal line (a complementary condition for High probability Entries)
Long Entry Trigger:
Price break above Significant peak fractal of previous downwave OR the break above prior peak fractal high.
Exit Strategy or Stop:
Type 1 Exit
Precondition: Negative Divergence seen on MACD signal line; and
Trigger: Break below a consolidation level or the prior minor swing low
Type 2 Exit
Hourly close below 55 EMA
Exit type I or type II whichever comes earlier
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short Entry Preconditions:
a) Price below 55 EMA
b) MACD histogram below zero line
--Negative Divergence seen on MACD signal line (a complementary condition for High probability Entries)
Short Entry Trigger:
Price break below Significant fractal of previous upwave OR the break below prior swing fractal low.
Exit Strategy or Stop:
Type 1 Exit
Precondition: Positive Divergence seen on MACD signal line; and
Trigger: Break above a consolidation level or the prior minor swing high
Type 2 Exit
Hourly close above 55 EMA
Exit type I or type II whichever comes earlier
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If trade exited but price shoots back piercing out of 55 EMA or is already above/below 55 EMA , a break of previous peak fractal with MACD histogram above/below zero line triggers entry again.
# Exit Strategy discussed above works well in long trades but chops in short trades. Tweaking a little by taking 1:1 or smaller targets (to previous support zones) instead of the Exit strategy may help in this issue.
Backtesting 10/2017 to 2/2018:
--------------------------------------
9896/10413 = +517
*10331/10255 = +76
*10254/10130 = +124
10344/10355 = +11
*10211/10130 = +81
*10095/10148 = -53
10323/10210 = -113
*10210/10255 = -45
10374/10469 = +95
*10409/10504 = -95
10504/11009 = +505
*10878/10781 = +97
*10511/10411 = +100
*10379/10330 = +49
10475/10478 = +3
Profit points = +1352
What I have noticed is that this strategy works very well in a trending market. It help to ride the trend to this full potential.
On short trades, we have to take profits at previous supports or else it will chop the profits. May be this is because we have been in a bull market.
I sideways market there are hits and misses.
I will try to further fine tune but keep in mind that no strategy works all the time, as visible from backtesting results.

Option Strategy before budget & quarterly result.Auro Pharma has announced 07.02.18 for results and the budget is on 01.02.18 so one can avoid the risk of volatility. The price has already moved down by 10% in last month. In this situation one can try the following strategy :
2/1 ratio call spread and put spread:
a. Buy 660 call 2 lots 14 to 17 range (Current-Price 15.20)
b. Sell 640 call 1 lot 21 to 26 range (Current-Price 22.30)
c. Buy 600 put 2 lots 14 to 17 range (Current-Price 15.15)
d. Sell 620 put 1 lot 21 to 26 range (Current-Price 22.65)

IOC looking weakIOC
CMP 393.2
The stock looks likely to have made a triple top around 430-450 band
- the stock is now trading below the yellow zone making it look weak
- staying below the yellow line zone the stock may potentially head towards the green line zone around 360...
- immediate support at 380 levels highlighted with dotted red line
- sustaining above 405-408 levels might invalidate the pattern
- The stock might consolidate between 408-380 levels till month end...
Given the view One may consider Short Strangle strategy for IOC November expiry
Sell IOC 30-November expiry 410 Call option & 380 Put option
Lot size: 1500
Call Strike Price: 410
Price: 4.35
Put Strike Price: 380
Price: 4.3
Understanding Reward and Risk in the trade
Max profit potential Rs 12975 per strategy lot if IOC closes anywhere in between 380 to 410 on 30-November 2017
Loss if IOC closes above 418.65 or below 371.35 on expiry day
Take care & safe trading...!!!

SBIN Strategy for November monthSBIN
CMP 316
Link to previous post
The stock has jumped big time from 3-4 trading sessions back 250 odd levels to 320 odd levels
- the stock has touched upper end of trend line and has stepped down signalling it to act as resistance
- 305-312 is important level for SBI on the lower side
Given the set up one may consider Short Strangle strategy for SBI November month
Sell
SBIN November expiry 300 Put option around 11
&
SBIN November expiry 330 Call option around 13
Lot size 3000
Total incoming
3000 * (11+13) = Rs 72000 / -
Maximum profit in this strategy is of Rs 72000/- if SBIN stays anywhere between 300-330 zone on expiry day i.e on 30-Nov-2017
( For risk management consider to move out of the strategy if SBIN goes above 345 or below 290 in Equity )
The strategy covers some risk for movement beyond the range but do understand that Trading in Futures & Options involves risk.
Loss will occur if SBIN closes above 354 or below 276 on expiry day so give importance to Risk Management
Understand the risk:reward potential and do necessary homework before taking any decision
Take care & safe strategy

I have also tested this strategy for current year but I ll update the results later as its very time consuming.
It has been observed that the strategy keeps us in a trade as long as trend is strong. The losses made in the strategy are quite manageable due to price action and divergence combination.
Maximum loss made in a trade was 133 points and maximum profit was 1199 points.
I ll further test this strategy; and the comments of fellow traders can surely help in fine tuning.
I have noticed some fellows make carbon copies of already published ideas :) Its a highly undesirable practice and should be avoided by all means. B'coz readers can differentiate between the original idea and the copied one. Hope I made my point.
Trade safe and stay healthy.

Nifty: A Simple Strategy Yielding Lacs.I am surprised to see how this simple strategy could yield such handsome return in the Index futures.
Time Period= 1 June till date
Chart= 15 min.
Rules:
1. Divergence on Stochastics associated with inverse price movement
2. Entry @ break above/below immediately preceding "minor" swing high/low
3. Stop @ below/above immediately preceding "significant" swing low/high
4. Target @ immediately preceding "significant" swing high/low point
5. Would not trigger entry on gap openings, wait for price to pull back to entry or else trade will be missed
6. After entry, if target missed by few points then close position on break of a succeeding minor swing or consolidation pattern, whichever hits earlier
7. Minimum Risk to Reward Ratio should be 1:1 or else trade will be missed.
8. No support or resistance from higher time frame taken into account
9. All the entries taken with Stop loss and Limit orders.
10. Carry forward as long as target or stop is not hit.
Trades:
Trade1=33 pts.
Trade2=16*
Trade3=31
Trade4=34
Trade5=32
Trade6=13*
Trade7=47
Trade8=37
Total= 243
Profit on single lot= 243*75=18225
For earning 1 Lac or more one should have traded at least 6 lots.
* In Trade 2 and 6 target was missed by a few points so as per rules the position is closed at the break of succeeding consolidations pattern.
#Trade missed @ Divergence 3 because of poor RRR
Although this strategy yielded 100% success with no Stops hit yet it should be noted that we totally missed the shorting opportunity from 9700 to 9565 on 22nd June. The strategy might be successful in sideways to moderately bearish/bullish environment. Will it be good in a trending market is still a question mark for me, perhaps we will get the answer in coming days.
Kindly cooperate if am wrong in my calculations somewhere but i suppose the purpose of this post is clear to everybody.
Trade safe, stay healthy.

My Intraday StrategyI have a very simple Intraday strategy which works really good. I would like to know your comments, advice or any faults you think my system might have, do paper trade this before actual trading.
After market hours I scan stocks in the 15 min time frame to find out which stocks have broken above or below a range of say 20 bars behind. Meaning from last 300 mins range of the stock and a break above or below that at day end.
After seeing the breakout I generally see the volume with which the stock has broken the range either above or below and the closing price at end of the day. If the volume is above average till the end that gives me an idea that the probability of the stock moving in the direction of the breakout or breakdown is more at the next day opening.
RSI or the relative strength index plays a crucial role too. In case of a breakout the RSI should be nearing 70 and ready to cross it from below ie sloping upwards. In case of a breakdown RSi should be sloping downwards and ready to go below 40-38-35 levels from above.
When these three factors come into play, I decide the price at which i will keep a buying stop order in case of a breakout and selling stop order incase of a breakdown and place the order after premarket close ie at 9.07am. I immediately place my stops as soon the market takes my orders.
I will wait for 45mins to an hour to see if my trade entered is moving or then i exit at CMP.
Youll can see from the ideas that i have published that mostly i do get good quick trades. except todays HDFC bANK which isnt going anywhere.
Please let me know your feedback!
Thanks

Sell Strategy
If 435 Broken, sell it for target of 427 which is the next immediate support level.
If 427 Broken, book half and keep half for 420
Stop loss is 441
Buy Strategy
If 441 Crossed, Buy for T1 of 445 and final target of 450
Stoploss is 435
IDEA - Strangle Option StrategyCMP - 100
This is a direction-neutral strategy. I used it previously too. ( see in related idea )
Here I am buying,
95 PE - 3.5
105 CE - 3.5
Why ? Because it has moved a lot and I am expecting it to move further.
Caution : Experts do due diligence. New traders can look into this and paper-trade.
