Trending F&O Stocks

#13
But how would you define "Trending" ?? Which time frame ?

Intraday I guess 3-5 minutes is what most of us would use. I would look at the ADX to determine trending. The problem is that intraday, on smaller time frames, one big move changes the indicator, the price may stagnate or even reverse after that (happens often in Union Bank)

daily TF for trending mostly.

I think Ravi trader is right that EOD minimum is required to determine the trend. Once you got the trend then it is upto you which TF, as per your comfort level, you find suitable to milk it. 3-5 min however is too short IMO. Besides ADX etc indicators become useless when trend is on the run, and stocks are generally trending this or that way. All in all, IMO, stock trading is quite, if not entirely, different from trading index. For one, you can always trade 3-4 times per day a rangebound index comfortably due to liquidity, but ranging stocks even high volume ones like TM or Rcap can give a nasty bruise to even best laid out strategy due to sudden spread widening.
My thoughts. Each to his own.
