Why this stack works
The classic Indian-market swing setup. NR7 identifies the volatility contraction; the 20/50 EMA cross confirms the higher-timeframe trend is up; volume above the 20-day average says real money is positioning. Each component on its own produces noise — stacked, they filter to a small handful of clean candidates per day.
Entry rules
- 1Wait for a candle to close above the NR7 candle's high.
- 2Entry on the breakout candle close, or on a tight pullback to the breakout level.
- 3Skip if the broader index (Nifty 50 / Bank Nifty) is in a clear downtrend.
Stop-loss
Below the NR7 candle's low, or below the 20 EMA — whichever is closer.
Target
1.5–2x the NR7 range as initial target; trail with the 20 EMA on the daily.
When this fails
- Broader index reverses sharply (sector rotation kills swing setups fast).
- Breakout candle has weak volume (< 1.5x 20-day average).
- Stock is within 5 trading days of its earnings announcement.
FAQs
On a normal NSE session, 5–15 stocks meet all three conditions. On post-event days (RBI policy, monthly expiry) the count can spike to 30+. Skip the spike days — the signals fire faster but fail more.
