Positional Trading
Due to lack of time and the nature of work, I would have less time to do the Intraday trading. So I am looking for a good Positional trading system for the Trending stocks and NIFTY Futures. I have been fairly successful in the Intraday NIFTY Futures but it takes a lot of your time and energy.
With whatever experience I had, my observation is all those systems work well in the TRENDING market. But when it comes to NON-TRENDING markets all those system fail miserably.
So this weekend, I was trying different stuff and backtested one simple system for SBIN and NIFTY.
The system is very simple.
1. At the EOD around 3:20 pm, calculate the average close (ACL) and average open (AOP) of the today and yesterday.
2. If ACL > AOP, Buy Else Sell.
3. Next day At the opening of market, put a STOPLOSS order.
4. At the EOD, Close the positions and Repeat Steps 1 to 4....
The above system does not take into account the Gap UP and GAP Down days... Which I will do whenever I have time.
Those who want to see the results can download and see the files from the below links. Of course the results look great on paper. But need to see how it works in the real mode.

The advantage of the above system is that you don't need to spend a lot of time before the monitor. You just need 10 minutes of your time daily and the Law of averages and the Results on Big days should help....
But you need a right time to enter the market....
Need to enter when there is big trend like we had in Jan-12, otherwise the system can kill you with the initial losses..
Experts please let me know your thoughts.
I am planning to do paper trading on this system before using it actually.
In the Excel tool,
- Have provided options to control Pyramiding
- To choose the initial positions
- Lot size
- Margin %
So if you paste the OHLC for any stock you will be able to see the results....
