NTrading Strategy for 29th August 2025

NIFTY 📊 15-min Breakout/Breakdown Plan (Intraday)

🕒 Timeframe: 15-minute candles
🧭 Method: Trade only after a 15-min candle closes beyond the level, then use the trigger candle’s high/low for precise entries & stops.
📈 Long (Breakout)
Condition: A 15-min candle closes above 24,595.
Entry: Buy above the high of that closing candle (next tick/price).
Stops (pick one):
⛔ Conservative: SL = low of the trigger candle
⛔ Aggressive: SL = 24,565–24,575 buffer (≈20–30 pts), only if the trigger candle is small.

Targets (scale out):
🎯 T1: 24,620
🎯 T2: 24,650
🎯 T3: 24,675

Trade management:
After price hits T1, move SL to cost.
Trail SL by last 5-min swing low or ATR(5, 5-min) if you use indicators.
If a 15-min candle closes back below 24,595, consider exiting remainder (failed breakout).

📉 Short (Breakdown)
Condition: A 15-min candle closes below 24,440.
Entry: Sell below the low of that closing candle.
Stops (pick one):
⛔ Conservative: SL = high of the trigger candle
⛔ Aggressive: SL = 24,470–24,480 buffer (≈20–40 pts), only if the trigger candle is small.

Targets (scale out):
🎯 T1: 24,400
🎯 T2: 24,375
🎯 T3: 24,350

Trade management:
After price hits T1, move SL to cost.
Trail SL by last 5-min swing high or ATR(5, 5-min).
If a 15-min candle closes back above 24,440, consider exiting remainder (failed breakdown).

🧪 Position Sizing (example)
🎯 Aim R:R ≥ 1:1.5 to T1 and ≥ 1:2 to T2 whenever possible.
🛡️ Risk per trade: e.g., 0.5% of account.
📐 Qty = (Risk ₹) ÷ (Entry − SL).

Example (long): If entry 24,605, SL 24,575 → risk 30 pts. With ₹3,000 risk, qty ≈ 100 units (futures/lot sizing as per instrument).

🧭 Optional: Options Execution
On long trigger, prefer near-ATM CE (same-day/weekly).
On short trigger, prefer near-ATM PE.
Exit or roll when underlying hits T1/T2 or when time decay accelerates after lunch.

🚧 Avoid/Filter
🕘 First 15–30 minutes: consider avoiding initial whipsaws unless candle structure is clean.
📰 Major news events (RBI/US CPI/Fed/GDP): pause 10–15 min around release.
📏 Very large trigger candle (>60–80 pts body): consider skipping or reduce size (SL too wide).

✅ Quick Checklist
15-min close beyond level (24,595/24,440)
Structure: clean body, not a long-wick fakeout
Entry at trigger candle high/low only
Pre-defined SL & position size
Scale-out at T1 → SL to cost
Trail sensibly; stop trading after 2 losing trades or if R:R deteriorates

📌 Notes
No-trade zone until a valid 15-min close occurs beyond the levels.
If both setups trigger on the same day, trade only the first clean signal unless the opposite side invalidates and a fresh trigger appears later with structure.
