There are 1000s of indicators in Technical Analysis...

But you need to MASTER ONLY ONE🎯to win in markets...

I selected 'Commodity channel index' (CCI) as my PRIMARY INDICATOR & all my scanners are a variation of this...

MULTI TIMEFRAME POSITIONAL STRATEGY using CCI...🧵

1⃣ CCI Basics

• CCI > 100 = Bullish and overbought
• CCI < -100 = Bearish and oversold
2⃣Entry criteria

• CCI(34) on Weekly crossed above 100
• CCI(34) on Daily >100
• Entry: above weekly swing high
• Stoploss: Recent swing low on daily chart
3⃣Exit criteria

• CCI(34) on Daily < -100
• Holding period: Few days to many months

Pyramiding your winners should be considered to make your winners big.

Separate post on this to follow.
4⃣ Why trade on a multi-timeframe?

• This is a top-down approach where we observe the larger trend of the stock before we take entries on the smaller or medium trend of the stock. This concept can be compared to tides in the sea.
5⃣ A larger wave in the sea will overpower the smaller waves, no matter what, simply because the larger waves have more velocity and force.

In a similar way, a stock trending in the larger TF will overpower the smaller TF trend and will eventually take the stock price higher.
6⃣ While trading this strategy we presume this will work & buy stock in the shorter TF just when the larger TF is showing bullishness. This ensures we are in the right direction.

In case the stock reverses, we exit based on the stop loss or based on the exit criteria.
7⃣ Just to be clear, this is NOT a holy grail strategy but helps one catch the shorter/medium trend very well.

You WILL have losing trades.

So, it is important to consider proper position sizing and assess your risk before entry.

Let's look at some examples 👇
8⃣ Ex: SBIN & Reliance

The larger trend turned bullish. So, we enter just above the weekly high and hold on until the stop hits or exit criteria is met.

Note that by buying just above the high, you skip that initial short term downtrend or you might even skip many bad trades
9⃣ Ex: Axis Bank and Maruti.

Once CCI daily goes below -100, you need to exit the next day at open. You never know how deep the stock can correct.
🔟Ex: Bajaj Finance and HDFC Bank - Good Profits.

You never know much a stock can rally. So, identify a strategy that can keep you in the trade for as long as possible.

Remember, 80% of your profits come from such 20% of trades. Such trades make up your PnL in the long run.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
