I've been subscribed to @WeekendInvestng's smallcases, multiple of them in fact, for quite some time now. I have always gradually used a simple price action based pyramiding up technique on top of his strategy. Here's how I personally do it:

🧵EMA + VWAP STRATEGY

Every trader has a go-to strategy that works best for them. My trading is all about keeping it simple stupid and revolves around two indicators - Exponential moving averages and vwap.

Here's the strategy that I utilize on nearly 80% of my trades.

👇

What are Exponential Moving Averages?

EMA's are a type of moving average that places a greater weight on more recent data points.

8EMA = Exponential Moving Averages of the last 8 candle closing prices.

EMA's adjust with respect to chart time frame.

What is VWAP?

Volume Weighted Average Price - A key intraday indicator in my trading that offers the true average price based on price & volume.

Calculation: (Price x # of shares traded) / total shares traded

EMA's I use

- 8
- 21
- 50

While I do utilize the 50EMA, the 8 & 21 EMA are most important for this strategy. Some people use the 9 and 20 which are essentially the same thing. REMEMBER: EMA'S adjust with respect to time frames.

Precautions:

1) Always backtest the ideas before using them in live markets. It gives confidence and conviction.

2) Always keep your risk within 2-3% (of your capital) per trade.

3) System hopping is not a good idea.

#1 IB Open Low Setup

When the market opens above/at the previous day's high, displays open-low, and OL sustains for some time.

It indicates the presence of Initiative Buyers.

SL: Below open-low candle

#3 IB Open Test Drive Up

This is similar to OL, but it opens above PDH, but tests the PDH, negates all selling, and then closes above PDH.

It indicates the presence of Initiative Buyers.

Entry: Long trade above Open Test Drive UP Candle

SL: Below OTD-UP candle

On popular demand, here’s a thread on our key takeaways from F&O Pe Charcha with @Mitesh_Engr

Start with a low capital and master all 3 phases of the market – upward, downward and consolidation. If your winning trades are >60-70%, then increase your capital.

Treat trading as a business and target similar gains. An annual profit of 25% is reasonable and achievable.

Does a restaurant change recipes every day? No.

Similarly, stick to strategies if there is a 70% success rate. If it doesn’t work for 2 months, don’t worry, it might work for the rest of the 10 months

Option buyers need more skill than sellers as they need to catch the direction at the right time.
