T7 JNSAR is a trend following day trading system for NIFTY index. It generates buy and sell signals using the dynamic JNSAR line and belongs to the trend following strategies. The original idea was from Indian trader Illango and I have optimized and coded it.
Calculate JNSAR line: Use exponential moving average of past 5-day high, low and close to calculate JNSAR value and plot the line.
Generate signals: Long signal when daily close is above JNSAR line, short signal when daily close is below JNSAR line.
Entry: Enter at next day’s opening price after signal is generated.
Exit: Close position when reverse signal is triggered.
Only trade NIFTY index, not stocks.
Take every signal regardless of profit/loss.
JNSAR line depicts trend and key support/resistance levels well.
Signals are based on objective indicators only, avoiding emotional interference.
Profits from trend following, good historical backtest results.
Can trade via futures or options for low costs.
Simple and clear rules, easy to automate trading.
Prone to whipsaws and stops in range-bound markets as a trend following strategy.
Unable to effectively determine trend exhaustion, overbought/oversold risks.
Signal lag may cause losses from false breakouts.
Need to endure large drawdowns and consecutive losses.
Only applicable to NIFTY, not other products.
Requires strong psychology to trade every signal consistently.
Test different parameters for optimal JNSAR line setting.
Add stops to control risks.
Incorporate other indicators to detect trend ending.
Develop dynamic position sizing method.
Optimize signal generation logic.
Explore machine learning models.
T7 JNSAR provides a simple and effective trend following strategy for NIFTY.
