Mastering the Intraday Sutra: An intraday trading strategyMastering the Intraday Sutra: A Professional Guide to Trading Indian Markets with Precision
(Adapting Globex Strategy-Inspired Concepts to India’s Unique Trading Hours)
Introduction
The Intraday Sutra strategy is a systematic approach designed for India’s equity/futures markets, inspired by the principles of identifying key price levels (similar to the Globex "high/low" concept) but tailored to India’s fixed trading hours (9:15 AM – 3:30 PM). This strategy leverages prior-day price action, supply-demand zones, and disciplined risk management to capitalize on intraday opportunities. Below, we break down its components for clarity and repeatability.
Strategy Overview
1. Core Instruments
Indices: All indices
Stocks: Nifty 50 constituents for alignment with index momentum
2. Ideal Time Frames
5-minute charts: For granular entry/exit precision.
15-minute charts: To filter noise and align with broader intraday trends.
Key Levels: Prior-Day High/Low & Supply-Demand Zones
1. Plotting Prior-Day High (PDH) and Prior-Day Low (PDL)
Purpose: These levels act as psychological benchmarks.
Method:
- Manually mark PDH/PDL on your chart.
- Use Trading View indicators (e.g., “Previous Day High-Low”) for automation.
2. Identifying Supply-Demand Zones
-Supply Zone:
- Formation: Rally → Base → Drop (RBD) or Drop → Base → Drop (DBD).
- Action: Potential sell zone; price often reverses downward here.
- Demand Zone:
- Formation: Drop → Base → Rally (DBR) or Rally → Base → Rally (RBR).
- Action: Potential buy zone; price often reverses upward here.
Zone Validation Rules:
1. Structure: The “base” (consolidation) must be ≤6 candles; the breakout must show ≥2 impulsive candles.
2. Freshness: Only trade untested zones (no prior price interaction).
3. Zone Merging: Combine overlapping zones or prioritize the one with the best risk-reward ratio.
Entry & Trade Triggers
1. Breakout Confirmation
Short Entry: Triggered when price breaks above prior-day high (PDH) and retests a fresh supply zone.
Long Entry: Triggered when price breaks below prior-day low (PDL) and retests a fresh demand zone.
2. Order Placement
Buy Limit Orders: Set at the demand zone’s proximal line
Sell Limit Orders: Set at the supply zone’s proximal line
Risk Management Framework
1. Stop Loss Placement
Long Trades: Below the demand zone (mechanical rule) or 5% of the Daily Average True Range (ATR) below the distal line of demand
Short Trades: Above the supply zone (mechanical rule) or 5% of Daily ATR above the distal line of supply
2. Position Sizing
Risk ≤1-2% of capital per trade to preserve longevity.
Trade Management & Profit Targets
1. Initial Target: 2:1 Risk-Reward (2R).
Example: If risking ₹1000, target ₹2000 profit.
2. Trailing Stop : Move stop loss to breakeven at 2R, then trail for 3R+ using price structure (e.g., swing lows/highs).
3. Priority: Focus on “A+ Setups” where zones align with higher timeframes (for example a 5 mins zone within a 15 mins zone or higher)
Critical Success Factors
1. Timing is Everything
Optimal Entry Window: 9:15 AM – 11:00 AM (peak liquidity, institutional participation).
Avoid Late Trades: Post-2:00 PM entries often lack momentum for robust risk-reward outcomes.
2. Confluence with Higher Timeframes
- Strengthen signals by aligning 5/15-minute zones with hourly/daily support/resistance/supply/demand zones
3. Event-Driven Volatility
Capitalize on gaps from overnight global news (e.g., US Fed, crude oil prices) or domestic catalysts (RBI policies, earnings).
Tools & Execution
Charting: Trading View for automated PDH/PDL and zone plotting
Mindset: Discipline to avoid overtrading and stick to fresh zones.
Example: The example taken here is on the Nifty 15 mins chart. See how the price broke the previous day's low and reacted nicely from a prior higher quality demand zone. These levels can act as trap levels trapping most of the retail traders and investors on the opposite side of the trade. The price gave a nice bounce from the demand zone and went on to rally to the opposing supply zone giving a greater than 3:1 R:R.
Conclusion
The Intraday Sutra strategy combines technical precision with rigorous risk management, offering a structured way to navigate India’s time-bound markets. By focusing on prior-day extremes, fresh supply-demand zones, and strategic timing, traders can systematically exploit intraday inefficiencies. Remember: Consistency beats complexity. Back test rigorously, refine your process, and let discipline drive profitability.
Final Note: Always validate this strategy in a simulated environment before deploying live capital. Use Trading View Bar Replay functionality to test your strategy.

IT SECTOR OVERVIEW: Super Bullish!Observation & Overview:
1. The IT Index was beaten down in late 2022.
2. After 2023 it formed a bottom and prices started gaining strength.
3. 2024 price started forming Higher Highs & Higher Lows, touched the previous 2022 ATH and currently, taking support from the 50% of the swing and also bouncing from a D tf demand.
4. It is acting as a major support zone and good weekly candle rejection can be noticed.
5. Signs of buyers getting dominant and it should break the ATH soon.
6. I'm expecting a minimum 15% ROI from this sector turnaround.
7. Hopefully, with sector rotation this sector is going to gain momentum eventually.

ASIAN PAINTS - POSITIONAL SWING TRADE IDEA IN CASHSYMBOL - ASIANPAINT
Asian Paints is the largest home decor company in India. The 80+ year old company has major brands like Asian Paints, Berger, Apco etc. under its umbrella. The co. is into wall paints, wall coverings, waterproofing, texture painting, wall stickers, mechanized tools, adhesives, modular kitchens, sanitaryware, lightings, soft furnishings, and uPVC windows.
Asian Paints is currently trading between two major supply and demand zones since a long time. CMP of Asian paints is 2700 & It is approaching demand zone on weekly basis.
I'm seeing a positional trade opportunity on buy side. I usually trade in futures but this time I'm taking this trade in cash as general elections are due in June which is a major event for market makers.
Current PE of Asian paints is 46 which makes it a value buy at CMP. I'm investing 50% allocation today at CMP 2700. I'll invest 50% more at 2580-2600 levels & will hold this position with 2500 as SL. Targets I'm expecting on long side will be 2950 - 3220 - 3410 & new ATH. I'm ready to hold this trade for 3 - 6 months.

Adani Energy - Heavy Supp & Ress with 4 yr long Fibonacci SetupAnalysed the Adani Energy solutions on a weekly chart
there is a 4 year long gap to be filled - Fibonacci setup.
However from last 1 year, the price has been seeing a heavy resistance and support at the entry zone, which somehow makes the entire Fibonacci setup little week.
The coming week or two, may still see a downfall and hot the support level of 975-970, if continued, it may hit a second resistance of 955-950.
at this stage, the trend is also hanging towards more sellers keen to liquidate their positions. Hence this may drive the price downwards towards its support.
Once the price sustain the support level, price may hit its first sub resistance of 1190. It may also continue to hit its second main resistance level of 1265
I shall keep updating the weekly analysis.
BITCOIN HEADED TO 50K ? - CRASH SOON ?Symbol - BTCUSD
CMP 60700
Bitcoin is testing the previous major liquidity area which is around 59300 - 61000. Earlier it was consolidating around 65K levels & was trading in a range. Now it is witnessing a huge profit booking and declining sharply towards the liquidity area. A retracement towards 62000 - 62500 is likely.
In any case, If it is breaking 59000 level and sustaining below it then it may directly head to 50-51K which is next major support.
A double top pattern is visible on larger time frame. Breakdown of this pattern will lead to trend change/reversal. Hence breakdown of the neckline & sustaining below it will activate this double top pattern & then it will definitely test 51K level & then may touch 45K levels too.
P.S. : I'm actively tracking BTCUSD to make long positions around this liquidity zone to play a retracement & then I'll be looking to short around 62K levels with small SL & will add more position on breakdown of liquidity zone/neckline.

WILL BUY THE DIP SUPPORT BULLS & CAN BTC RECOVER TO 71K ?Earlier I discussed about double top pattern in making & captured the great free fall of more than 7,000 points.
Now, Bitcoin can be seen taking support at important levels. Bitcoin is experiencing times of high fear, high volatility and negative sentiment among the traders. From a psychological point of view, this could end in a bullish momentum as I have seen in the past that such high volatility usually lead to trend reversal.
For now, big buyers are actively holding back a possible fall amid transfers of the previously hacked crypto exchange to its debtors and BTC sell-offs by German authorities.
In April, the average cost of BTC mining among the largest public miners was $53,000, technically, the level of average cost of BTC mining plays the role of an intermediate bottom.
Judging by the growth of volumes and price entry into the area of the lower boundary of the "Flag or Megaphone" pattern, buyers appear on the market and at the moment stop the price fall, forming a sideways range of 53500-58500.
Accordingly, a breakdown of one of the boundaries may trigger an impulse to one side or the other, based on the technical nuances there is a probability that there will be an attempt to break the resistance.
Fundamentally, the environment is difficult due to news flow, but investors are waiting for the approval of ETH-ETF, which may bring back the bullish mood to the market (indirect impact on BTC). Technically, the emphasis is on the range. A break of 58500 will give bullish momentum, a break of 53500 may allow the price to decline to the 50500-51000 risk zone
We can only analyze and make a trading decision but only the time will tell whether is it headed to 71K or below 50K.

Has Gold formed a Top ?Friday's Sell Off Definitely Suggests that Neither Central Banks nor China nor any other retailer is interested in buying Gold at such high valuation.
Picture is getting Clearer.
One May look for Selling Opportunity around the Supply Zone.
Gold looks set to test 2200 Zone.
Bullishness Only above 2380.
Below 2380, Bears are going to be under Control.
Bulls may wait for Demand Zones to Build positions again, when the Ball will finally be in their Court.
Currently Bears will look to assert dominance.
