My Winning Trading Strategy | The Real Truth about Indicators (Andekha Sach)
Main summary
Key takeaways
Finance-Focused Summary (Momentum / F&O Trading Approach)
Core Strategy: Momentum / Upward-Channel Trading
- The presenter uses a momentum-based strategy in Futures & Options (F&O) (or equities, where applicable).
- The expected market structure is an upward channel with:
- Higher highs
- Higher lows
- Trades are driven mainly by price action relative to the channel/levels. Indicators are used as supporting context, not as a “holy grail” system.
When/How Positions Are Taken
If a stock is in an upward momentum channel:
- For “normal companies”: take positions in the equity market.
- If derivatives are suitable for the stock:
- Prefer futures
- They explicitly avoid using options in this momentum setup.
- Use longer-dated futures (e.g., next month / next-next month) and:
- roll monthly if the trade starts getting “over.”
Risk Control (Stop-Loss Concept)
- Stop-loss is placed on or barely beyond the channel (mentioned around ~1% to 2%).
- The trade is exited/defended if price breaks the channel.
- If price respects/pings back into the channel, the trade can re-align with momentum.
Watchlist + Chart Workflow (Step-by-Step)
- Learn chart reading
- Understand chart patterns and how channels behave (upward vs broken).
- Use a charting platform
- Example: TradingView (example shown: Nifty upward channel breaking after a drop).
- Build and maintain a watchlist
- Continuously add and monitor stocks, including:
- Nifty Bank, Nifty, and NASDAQ
- Reliance (major market mover)
- TCS, HDFC Bank, and others
- Continuously add and monitor stocks, including:
- Confirm momentum channel behavior per stock
- Example: Zomato remained in a strong upward channel for a long time, improving risk-reward.
- Add “insights” (fundamentals + valuation checks)
- They emphasize checking:
- Whether the stock is near its 52-week high
- P/E (p ratio) valuation (overvalued vs undervalued)
- Whether it’s in a good sector
- Whether there’s potential for a “big impact coming”
- They emphasize checking:
- Use trading analytics tools
- They promote Samco features such as trade analytics, scoring, and holding-period statistics to improve execution and evaluate performance.
Market Context Examples
- Nifty
- Was in an upward channel until “yesterday,” then broke the channel after SEBI commentary/news.
- NASDAQ
- Also referenced as being in an upward channel but slowly breaking.
Indicators & Tools Mentioned (Used as Support, Not a Guaranteed System)
Primary Technical Indicators
- RSI (Relative Strength Index)
- Used to gauge overvalued vs undervalued conditions.
- Bollinger Bands
- If price moves above/below the bands, it may signal reversal behavior.
- Nadaraya Watson Enveloping (non-repainting)
- Red zones = overheated
- Green zones = oversold
- Logic: begin buying when price is in the green/oversold zone.
- EMA / SMA (Moving Averages)
- Mentioned MA levels: 20, 50, 100, 200
- Day-trader emphasis: 20/50 + 100/200
- Idea: price often bounces/pings from the 20-day moving average as support.
- SuperTrend
- Used to determine trend direction (not simple buy/sell signals):
- Flip down → trend turns negative
- Stays up → trend remains positive
- Used to “catch” momentum.
- Used to determine trend direction (not simple buy/sell signals):
Support/Resistance & Reversal Levels
- CPR by KGS
- Described as more advanced than basic pivot zones (support/resistance).
- Used on lower timeframes (example: 15-minute chart) to identify reversal levels.
- Example levels mentioned:
- 21,900 (support zone)
- Recovery expectation toward 21,100 after a technical break.
