About Trend Rider BANKNIFTY Futures
Trend Rider BANKNIFTY Futures enters on confirmed breakouts of 20-day highs or lows and rides the move with an ATR-based trailing stop. Position size is scaled inversely to volatility, so exposure falls automatically when the market gets rough. The strategy is long and short.
How it works
- Signals on a daily close beyond the 20-day channel with rising ADX.
- Sizes positions so that one ATR equals 1% of allocation.
- Trails a 2.5 ATR stop; never adds to losing positions.
- Flattens ahead of monthly expiry and rolls to the next contract.
White-box strategy: the provider discloses the rules above so you can judge the logic as well as the track record.
