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

  1. Signals on a daily close beyond the 20-day channel with rising ADX.
  2. Sizes positions so that one ATR equals 1% of allocation.
  3. Trails a 2.5 ATR stop; never adds to losing positions.
  4. 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.

Risk notes

Low win rate with large winners. Expect long strings of small losses in sideways markets and deep drawdowns relative to steadier strategies.
