Bank Nifty Breakout Strategy with EMA, ADX and ATR-Based Exits

Summary

This intraday Bank Nifty strategy looks for breakouts aligned with a short-term EMA trend. Long entries require the faster EMA to exceed the slower EMA, price to be above the faster EMA, and the close to break above the previous bar’s high; short entries reverse those conditions. A time window limits when entries may occur, and a low ADX reading blocks trades in weakly directional conditions.

Initial stop and target levels are set from ATR at entry, with the target distance scaled by a configurable risk-reward multiple. The script closes positions when bar closes reach those levels and plots the levels and EMAs for visibility. Although RSI is calculated, it does not affect the entry or exit rules. The document supplies code and parameter defaults but no backtest results; close-based exits, instrument settings, and the stated chart interval may affect live behavior and should be assessed for the intended market.

Key ideas

• Entries require EMA alignment, price confirmation, and a break of the prior bar’s high or low.
• An intraday time window and an ADX threshold filter entry opportunities.
• ATR determines the initial stop distance, while a configurable multiple sets the profit target.
• The script calculates RSI but does not use it in its trading conditions.
• The document describes rules but provides no evidence of strategy performance.
