Top 5 Trading Strategies That Work in the Indian Market
- Swing Trading Using Support & Resistance
Swing trading involves capturing short-term price moves, typically over a few days to weeks. In the Indian market, identifying key support and resistance zones on Nifty 50 or mid-cap stocks can provide high-probability entries.
Key tools: Price Action, RSI Divergence, Volume Analysis
Ideal for: Working professionals, part-time traders
Pro Tip: Combine with candlestick patterns for stronger confirmation.
- Breakout Trading Strategy
Breakout trading capitalizes on stocks breaking out of consolidation or price ranges with strong volume. This strategy is especially effective on NSE stocks with strong momentum.
Key tools: Volume Spike, Bollinger Band Squeeze, Moving Averages
Best timeframes: 15-min to Daily Charts
Watch for: False breakouts — always confirm with volume!
- Intraday Trading Using VWAP & Price Action
Intraday trading in India is popular but risky. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) combined with price action gives a strong edge for real-time trading, especially on high-beta stocks like Reliance, HDFC Bank, or Infosys.
Key tools: VWAP, CPR levels, Price Rejections
Ideal for: Traders with 2–3 hours of market time
Risk control: Always trade with stop loss — no exceptions.
- Trend Following with Moving Averages
This long-term strategy works best in trending markets like we often see on Nifty and Bank Nifty. It’s ideal for beginners learning to ride strong market moves.
Key tools: 20 EMA + 50 EMA crossover, MACD
Best for: Positional traders
Stock screeners: Use volume filters and moving average scans for stock selection.
- Option Selling Strategy (with Hedging)
For advanced traders, option selling is a powerful income-generating strategy. By selling options with hedging (like Iron Condor or Strangle with stop-loss), you can take advantage of time decay and market neutrality.
Key tools: Option Chain Analysis, OI data, IV Rank
Capital required: Medium to high
Taught in: Advanced program at Stockfyre
