Advanced Trading Strategy Combinations
Ab tak aap 51 trading strategies aur unke use-cases samajh chuke ho. PART 3 me hum un strategies ko mix karke powerful combinations banayenge jise professional traders daily profit generation ke liye use karte hain.
Strategy combinations trading ko more reliable, more structured aur less risky bana dete hain.
1️⃣ EMA + VWAP Trend Riding System
Ye combination intraday me 70–75% accuracy deta hai.
Requirements:
- 20 EMA
- VWAP line
- 5-minute chart
Rules:
- Price above VWAP → bullish bias
- Pullback to 20 EMA → entry zone
- Rejection candle → strong buy signal
- SL = EMA wick low
- Target = 1:2 RR minimum
Why It Works: VWAP institutions ka average price batata hai, aur EMA pullbacks safe entry provide karte hain.
2️⃣ Breakout + Volume Surge Confirmation
Sirf breakout pe entry karna risky hota hai. Volume confirmation ke saath breakout extremely reliable ban jata hai.
Rules:
- Strong candle breaks key level
- Volume should be 2× or 3× of last 10 candles
- Retest candle if available → safer entry
Ye technique stock trading aur index options dono me sahi kaam karti hai.
3️⃣ RSI + MACD Dual Confirmation System
Momentum aur trend dono confirm ho to entries high quality banti hain.
Signals:
- RSI above 60 → buy trend strength
- MACD above 0 line → trend confirmation
- Both match → best long entries
4️⃣ FVG + Order Block Strategy (Smart Money Concepts)
Smart money trading institutions ke footprints track karne ka modern system hai.
Rules:
- Identify Fair Value Gap (FVG)
- Wait for price to partially fill the gap
- Look for bullish/bearish order block
- Enter on confirmation candle
SMC traders is combination ko “Sniper Entry System” kehte hain.
5️⃣ Supertrend + Structure Reversal Strategy
Supertrend alone unreliable hota hai, lekin structure ke saath combine ho to full-power system ban jaata hai.
Steps:
- Identify a trend reversal (HH → LH formation)
- Wait for Supertrend flip
- Enter with strong volume candle
Intraday Pro-Level Entry Systems
6️⃣ The Three-Candle Entry System (High Accuracy)
Ye simple but extremely powerful system hai.
- First candle → strong momentum
- Second candle → small pullback
- Third candle → continuation (entry candle)
Isse whipsaw trades 60% tak reduce ho jaate hain.
7️⃣ Wick Rejection + Break of Structure (BOS) Entry
Price badly reject ho and then structure break kare → extremely strong signal.
- Wick rejection zone = liquidity zone
- BOS confirms institutional move
8️⃣ Cryptron Method (Custom Price Action)
Ye ek advanced system hai jisme:
- Previous high/low break

Part 4 me hum cover karenge: Delta-neutral trading, hedged options selling, expiry-specific strategies, scalping blueprints, advanced risk rules, and professional trader psychology.
Delta-Neutral Trading — Zero Prediction, High Stability
Delta-neutral trading ek aisa approach hai jisme trader market ki direction predict nahi karta. Isme positions is tarah build hoti hain ki market upar jaye ya neeche — portfolio ka delta near zero rahe. Yani price movement ka effect minimal ho.
Ye strategy un traders ke liye perfect hai jo stability, low risk aur consistent weekly income prefer karte hain.

- No need to predict market direction
Hedged Option Selling — Safe & Professional Method

6️⃣ Calendar Spread (Low Risk, High Probability)

- Buy next week same strike option
Ideal for: Low volatility phases.
Expiry Day Trading — The Most Profitable Day of the Week
Weekly expiry (Thursday for Nifty, Wednesday for Bank Nifty) market ka sabse explosive din hota hai. Time decay peak par hota hai, aur premium meltdowns fastest hote hain.
7️⃣ ATM Scalping Strategy (Most Accurate)
- Use 5-min and 1-min chart together
- Only trade ATM options
- Use VWAP for trend bias
- SL tight — 8 to 12 points
- Target 10–20 points
Expiry me small candles bhi premium 10–15 points move kar dete hain.
8️⃣ Expiry Straddle Scalping
Isme ATM straddle ka premium movement observe karte hain.
- If straddle rises → trending day
- If straddle falls → sideways day
Aur aap accordingly CE/PE buy karte ho.
9️⃣ Expiry Option Selling (Hedged)
- Sell OTM CE + OTM PE
- Buy farther OTM CE + PE
- Hold till premium collapse
Expiry pe premium 20 se 2 ho jata hai within minutes.

🔟 1-Min Rejection Scalper
Micro price action scalping.

- 20 EMA → pullback
- RSI → momentum
Ye combination small losses + big wins ensure karta hai.
Volatility-Based Trading (VIX Strategies)
VIX agar high ho to market unpredictable; low ho to stable.
Rules:
- VIX above 14 → option buying preferred
- VIX below 12 → option selling preferred
Perfect Trading Timing Model (Used by Professionals)
Market kab trade karna hai ye utna hi important hai jitna ki strategy.
Best Zones:
- 9:30 – 11:00 AM: Most accurate moves
- 12:00 – 1:15 PM: Avoid, mostly sideways
- 1:30 – 2:45 PM: Second trend of the day
Complete Options Trading Workflow (Daily Template)

- Indicators — VWAP + EMA + Volume
- Entry condition — breakout, rejection, momentum
- Risk limit — max 2% per trade
- Exit — RR-based or trailing SL
Profit Booking Blueprint
Profit book karna bhi ek strategy hai. Early exit = small gains; late exit = risk.
Pro Rules:
- Book partial at 1:1 RR
- Shift SL to cost after partial booking
- Let runner hit 1:2 or 1:3
Isse small profits secure hote hain and big wins bhi capture hote hain.

Part 5 me hum denge: Complete trading psychology masterclass, full trading journal system, weekly planner, and final 2,000-word conclusion.
TRADING PSYCHOLOGY MASTERCLASS — The Real Secret of Profitable Traders
Trading psychology strategy se 10× zyada important hoti hai. Market me losses hote hain strategy ki wajah se nahi, balki emotions — fear, greed, revenge, overconfidence — ki wajah se.
Professional traders ek hi cheez follow karte hain:
“Mind first, strategy later.”
1️⃣ Fear of Losing — The Silent Killer
Fear aapko perfect setups miss karwata hai. Jab fear high hota hai:
- Late entry
- Early exit
- Stop-loss hit before move
Solution:
- Trade only confirmed setups
- Use predefined risk
- Accept that losses are normal
2️⃣ Greed — The Most Dangerous Emotion
Greed aapko profitable trade ko loss me convert karwata hai. Greed ke symptoms:
- “Bas thoda aur…” mindset
- Target hit ke baad bhi hold
- Risk ignoring
Solution:
- Define fixed RR (Risk–Reward)
- Partial booking follow karein
- Exit at your plan, not emotions
3️⃣ Revenge Trading — Instant Account Blowup
Loss ke baad “market ko sabak sikhane” ka feeling trading ka sabse bada trap hai. Isse:
- Overtrading hoti hai
- Large positions liye jaate hain
- Risk rules break hote hain
Solution:
- Loss ke baad trading stop
- Chart review only
- Next day fresh mindset
4️⃣ Overconfidence — Silent Account Drainer
2–3 profitable trades ke baad trader overconfident ho jata hai. Fir:
- Over-size positions
- No SL trades
- Dangerous expiry trades
Fix:
Har trade ko new trade treat karo.
