TRADING RULES
Some trading rules to follow
1.Moving Average crossover
if shorter term moving average crosses above the longer term moving average on closing basis ,its buy signal
some moving averages which I like to follow are
10 day EMA/ 50 day SMA
15 day EMA/150 day SMA
10 day SMA/200 day SMA
50 day SMA/200 days SMA
to add to this and make it more robust
we can add MACD and RSI .If MACD is showing positive divergence , and RSI is above 50 but below 70 long position can be taken.
of course the general market should be in positive territory.
Sale position to be taken when the short term crosses below the long term moving average again.if the RSI goes above 70 then also profit can be taken.
Stop loss to be kept at max 1% of the capital.
2. Turtle trading rules
it basically covers 2 trading systems
system 1- 20 days to determine the high and low prices
Buy when the price exceeds the highest high of last 20 days ,provided 50 days MA is higher than 200 days MA. Vice versa for short
