Hi Friends,

I am putting up this strategy as I have received many emails and personal messages to create a strategy for crude traders for intraday. The strategy I am going to put here would work for positional as well as intraday.

I should work on any timeframe from 1 minute to 60 minutes however for the purpose of this thread I am going to use 5 mins timeframe only and focus on intraday trades only.

For this strategy, you just need to plot 5 minutes crude charts and SUPERTREND indicator.

Entry rules

1. Wait for 5minute candle close which triggers a change in SUPERTREND signal
2. Once that candle closes, put a buy order 1 point above the highs of that candle (if the supertrend signal has changed to a buy signal) with a stoploss which is 1 point below that candle.
3. If the supertrend signal has changed to sell, put a sell order 1 point below the lows of the candle that has triggered the change in supertrend signal, stoploss 1 point above the highs of that candle.


Profit booking

I would suggest we always take multiple lots trades which allows partial profit booking. In case of less capital, people can trade mini lots, however for the purpose of this thread, I will assume we are trading 2 lots (regular lots not mini).

Plan is book 50% (1 lot) at 1:1 RR and holding rest until opposite trade triggers.

I will post some charts as examples now which should help in better understanding.

Enjoy this new gift from my side

Cheers
SH

These are the 3 trades that triggered yesterday

Trade 1

At 2.20 PM ...5 minutes candle closed at 2772 which turned supertrend signal from sell to buy

High of that candle was was 2773 and 2769 respectively

Buy order placed to trigger at 2774 immediately at 2.20 PM

Buy order triggered by next candle and SL order placed at 2768 immediately.

As the risk is 6 points (2774-2768) ... first target becomes 2780 for 1 lot (entry point + 6 points for 1:1RR)

This target is achieved by 3.15 PM when crude made high of 2782. Second lot now becomes risk free.

Crude continues to make a high of 2799 until supertrend signal reverses to sell at 5.15 PM. The candle low at 5.15 PM is 2778 so last lot exited one point below that low i.e 2777 (this also triggers the reverse sell order).

Profit made 6 points + 3 points = 9 points or Rs 900 (excluding brokerage which is usually Rs 200 for 2 lots)

The other 2 trades that followed yesterday are below, you can check them on your charts on your own and post a question with chart if it doesnt make sense.

Trade 2

At 5.15 PM, supertrend signal turned to sell and candle low at 2778 and high was 2783

Sell order placed at 2777 immediately as 5.15 PM candle closed.

Sell triggered at 5.35 PM at 2777, at this point SL order placed immediately at 2784 (7 point risk).

First target becomes 2770 so buy order for 1 lot placed at 2770 immediately, waiting to trigger.

Crude went down to 2771 however unfortunately didnt touch 2770 hence no booking profits.

At 6 PM, 2783 was hit and both lost exited at 7 point loss = Rs 1400 loss

At this stage, I placed another sell order at 2770 (1 point below recent lows) and had that trade triggered, my SL would have become 1 point above the recent highs made, however 2770 was not hit after this hence no trade. I will post a live example chart later explaining how a re-entry can be taken after initial SL is hit.


Trade 3

At 6.30 PM, candle closed at 2799 changing the supertrend signal to buy. The high of this candle was 2802 and low was 2782

As soon as this candle closed, a buy order was placed to trigger at 2803

Buy order triggered by 6.40 PM candle. SL order immediately placed at 2781 (22 point risk)

First target becomes 2825 (2803+22) for 1:1 RR so sell order placed for 1 lot in advance at 2825

2825 hit by 7.15 PM candle so 22 points booked for 1 lot. Second lot holding risk free now.

Crude continued to rally without giving a sell signal, made a high of 2931 and finally closed at 2913. Positional traders can carry this trade to next day or intraday traders can book before close at 2913

For this thread i will assume intraday trades hence booked at 2913 (113 points profit).

Total profit Rs 2200+11300 = Rs 13500

This was a jackpot trade and a jackpot day. Will all days be like these jackpot days? .. NO ..... will all days be profitable? .. NO

Is it a profitable strategy ... do your own backtest and record results Very Happy

Happy scalping !!

Cheers

Sell order placed at 2927 which was triggered by 11.50 AM candle. SL order placed at 2938 (11 point risk).

1st target 2927-11 = 2916 which was hit at 12.50 PM so profit Rs 1100

This seems to be a very easy setup.

Wish if this could be back tested so that we could trade with confidence.

So let me continue with what happened yesterday after the second trade was taken.

2nd lot SL 2920 was hit by 3.20 PM candle so 2nd lot exited. Overall trade was no profit no loss.

3rd Trade

At 3.30 PM, ST signal reversed to sell, the candle low was 2911 and high was 2917.

So sell order placed at 2910 (triggered by next candle at 3.35 PM) and stop loss placed at 2918 . 1st target placed at 2902.

The 3.35 PM candle went and made a low of 2907 however before our first target could be achieved, SL was hit by 3.40 PM candle and we lost 8 points .. Rs 1600 loss.

However at this stage buy has not triggered so there is another opportunity to sell if the recent lows were broken again before SL was hit (low of 2907 made by 3.35 PM candle). So another sell order placed at 2906

At 4.10 PM, 2906 was hit and we sold another 2 lots. Now the SL becomes one point above the recent highs made after hitting our first SL .. which is 2921 high made by 3.55 PM candle. So SL placed at 2922.

As this risk is 16 points, out first target becomes 2906-16 = 2890

crude went down and made a low of 2899 but did not fall enough to hit our target. The 6 PM candle took out our SL again and we exited with 16 point loss (Rs 3200 loss).

Total loss Rs 4800 on this sell signal trade.

4th Trade

6 PM candle changed the ST signal to buy. Bought 2 lots at 2926 (1 point above 2925 high made by 6 PM candle) and SL placed at 2907 (1 point below 6PM candle low of 2908).

18 point SL so first target becomes 2944. Alas, 6.15 PM candle took out our SL again and we lost another 18 points. Rs 3600 loss.

Now an interesting thing to see. 6.20 PM candle change the ST signal to sell however the sell did not trigger as 6.20 PM candle lows were not breached.

5th trade

At 6.30 PM, ST signal again changed to buy and we placed a buy order at 2934 SL 2901 which got triggered by 6.40 PM candle.

1st target becomes 2934+33 = 2977 which was hit by 8.45 PM candle. Profit booked on one lot Rs 3300. Second lot running.

Crude went to make a high of 2984 and later at 10.30 PM, the ST signal changed to sell again however lows of the candle not broken and hence second lot not exited yet. Day closed at 2975 so second lot booked at 2975. (positional traders can carry to next day as well).

Profit on this trade 3300 + 3100 = 6400

Total 5 trades yesterday and P&L was 1100+0-3200-3600+6400 = Rs 700

If you deduct brokerage etc on 10 lots trades the day becomes breakeven.

A good example to show that just because yesterday was a jackpot day doesnt mean everyday will be a jackpot day.


Cheers
SH
