Try these on 5-min

Case 1:
Buy : ADX(14)>35 AND DIP(14)>DIN(14)
Sell : ADX(14)>35 AND DIN(14)>DIP(14)

Case 2:
Buy: SET A = MACDSignal(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)
SET B = MACD(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)
A>B AND ADX(14)>35 AND DIP(14)>DIN(14)

Sell: SET A = MACDSignal(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)
SET B = MACD(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)
A<B AND ADX(14)>35 AND DIN(14)>DIP(14)

No logic for exit yet.

Hi Arsh,

Thanks to the help of pratap Sir, I have written the AFL for Case1, and tested on data from May2015 to date. More data is on another drive, will check if required. There were 200 trades in 10 months with 1491 NF points , works out to be 150 NF points per month with average of 20 trades per month. I am posting a snapshot below, also the xls of the backtest.

Compare it with the system I mentioned earlier, which gives 1846 points in 234 trades for the same time period.

Regarding Case 2, help needed from pratap Sir, for MACD code

Thanks so much for your help :clapping:

Draw-down is not bad too for this, assuming we trade 1 lot (75 shares) with 1Lakh margin :

Need to see how much is the continous loss ( max drawdown) , let's see about case 2 also , will try to workout the case 2 scenario in the evening.

Thanks for the info. Saw the mail.

its better to be SOH, until volatility reduces, specially stock futures traders.

I will go into the budget session without any fixed ideas. If there is a good trade, I will take it. If I feel like listening to the budget presentation,I may not trade. I will enjoy the budget presentation. After all the the market is there on all of next 200 days but one gets to see the FM present the Budget in the Parliament only once in a year.

One thing is very certain...have a very tight risk control on such event days.

This full margin requirement e-mail bailed me from what I 'should'be doing to what I 'can' do now, SOH only.

though this is a traders thread i want to ask you guys is it better to invest in stocks which will give you some 2 to 3% dividends every year than investing in real estate properties. right now infosys dividend yield is around 5.31%. if we invest 10lakhs in infosys we get 53k every year. that's better than the rent you get on your real estate property. i'm new to this investment and trading. i'm 25 years old and having this dilemma. could expert traders through some ight on this??
I know dividends depend on company profits and cant be taken for granted.

While you may be right in comparing that with Infy you may get better yield as compared to Real Estate Rental (2 to 3%) - what you are missing to compare is capital appreciation and volatility

Real estate tends to be less volatile - a ready to move property with 10L investment will not fluctuate 15-30% as compared to stock which can go down 15-30% (See biggies like SBIN etc in last 3 to 4 months)

Good stocks can give comparable or better CAGR over long term (10+ years) - which should be comparison period for real estate.

But you should sign in for volatility when you enter stocks.

I dont have experience with it, but i read somewhere that real estate cycle can be longer. Which means that bearish times might last longer. Add to that possible liquidity related issues, concentration (1 house) and big difference between loan rates and rent rates, they are maybe not good investments in general.

There are very few good stocks with professional managements giving dividend yield of over 5% and we cannot depend on one stock but must have portfolio of stocks which are also growing companies.

could you name a few??
