Overview

This is an intraday trading strategy for Indian market focusing on key support and resistance levels calculated from open, high, low and close prices of the previous trading day. Trades are taken when price breaks through these key levels.

Strategy Logic

  1. Calculate previous day's high, low and close prices
  2. Calculate key support level S1, resistance level R1 and pivot point PP using formulas
  3. Take long or short trades when price breaks through these levels
  4. Use stop loss exits

Key point formulas:

PP = (High + Low + Close) /3 R1 = 2*PP - Low S1 = 2*PP - High

Advantage Analysis

  2. Easy to identify key points, clear trading rules
  3. Easy to set stop loss, effectively control risks

Risk Analysis

  1. Possible false breakouts at key points causing losses
  2. Validity of key points needs verification, may not always work
  3. Improper stop loss can increase losses

Risk Mitigations:

  1. Combine with other indicators to filter false breakouts
  2. Backtest over long timeframes to validate strategy
  3. Optimize stop loss placement

Improvement Opportunities

  1. Combine other technical indicators to filter false signals
  2. Parameter tuning for different products
  3. Dynamic stop loss adjustment

Conclusion

Overall this is a simple and straightforward strategy which can be easily validated with historical data. As an intraday strategy, it provides high probability breakout opportunities at key levels resulting in good performance. But there are some false breakout risks relying on pivot points that need further optimization. In summary, this is an easy to implement, controllable risk intraday trading strategy.
