Re: 1 lakh to 652 lakhs in 497 trading days - Winning 20% of Trade in NIFTY Futures -
Hi raj, i want to ask you a question, How did you develop this trading strategy, please quote the book name, i want to have a look on the book .. thank you
The Strategy is not based on any books. It is based on the principle that I have posted in the first post. And based on the NIFTY Data for the past 10 years.
1. NIFTY is Trending only 20-25% of the time and so why always take 20 points Stoploss when 80% of the time you are going to loose. Why not take 7-10 points loss and close the trade if stoploss hit.
2. 20-25% of the time when the market is trending, NIFTY never crosses the opening price by more than 10 points. So in those cases NIFTY always gives on an average 55 points on the LONG side and 77 points on the SHORT Side.
3. 80-20 Principle. 80% of the losses comes from 20% of the trades and so 80% profit can come from 20% of the trades.
4. Why do we need to spend hours before the monitor, while we can spend maximum 30 minutes a day. (15 minutes during opening and 15 minutes during closing)
If you are good at Back testing, Try the above rules on the PAST 10 years data in NIFTY and see what you get.
So the important point is find out whether NIFTY is TRENDING Or not. When NIFTY is TRENDING put your trade with 10 points as the Stoploss using the open price. When NIFTY is not TRENDING, there is no trade.
So if you are able to find if NIFTY is trending or not, then you will hit the jackpot. As NIFTY is trending only 20% of the time, you will trade only 20% of the days.
Let me know if you have some magic indicator which tells whether NIFTY is Trending or not ?
