BankNifty 5min Supertrend Based Strategy

The BankNifty 5min Supertrend Based Strategy indicator is a comprehensive intraday trading tool designed to execute trades based on Supertrend crossovers within specific session parameters and robust risk management rules.

Usage

The strategy is optimized for the 5-minute timeframe on the BankNifty index. It utilizes a Supertrend calculation to determine trend direction and generates entry signals when the trend flips or after a user-defined candle delay at the start of the session.

Traders can use this tool to:

• Session-Based Trading: Define a specific window (e.g., the Indian trading session from 09:15 to 15:10) to restrict execution to high-liquidity periods.
• Delayed Entry: Wait for a specific number of candles to form at the session open before allowing the strategy to take positions, helping to avoid initial market volatility.
• Risk Management: Apply fixed-point stop losses, take profits, and trailing stop percentages to protect capital automatically.
• Automated Exits: Ensure all positions are flattened at the end of the specified trading session.

Details

The strategy calculates the Supertrend using a default 50-period ATR and a 3.0 factor. It tracks the number of candles formed since the start of the session to manage the delay filter. For entries, the script checks if the current time is within the user-defined date range and session hours.

If the delay condition is met, a Long entry is triggered when the Supertrend direction turns bullish (direction < 0), and a Short entry is triggered when it turns bearish (direction > 0). The script uses the strategy.exit function to handle complex exit logic including trailing stops, while also monitoring fixed price targets and trend reversals for standard exits.
