About Momentum Pulse Equity
Momentum Pulse Equity is a long-only cash equity strategy. It ranks the NIFTY 200 universe by risk-adjusted 12-week momentum, holds the top 10 names in equal weight and rebalances monthly. A trailing stop protects each position, and the portfolio moves to cash when the index trades below its 200-day average.
How it works
- Ranks NIFTY 200 stocks by 12-week return divided by realised volatility.
- Buys the top 10 names in equal weight on the first trading day of the month.
- Trails a 6% stop on each position and replaces exited names at the next rebalance.
- Goes fully to cash when NIFTY closes below its 200-day moving average.
White-box strategy: the provider discloses the rules above so you can judge the logic as well as the track record.
Risk notes
Momentum strategies suffer in sharp reversals and whipsaw markets. Drawdowns are moderate but recoveries can take several months.
