NSE equities & F&O · private research desk

Structure first. Then evidence.

TradeBuddy watches the whole NSE F&O universe and the Nifty 500 for the handful of places where price has actually returned to a level that matters — then asks whether that level has ever been worth trading.

What it tracks

Not another indicator dashboard. The engine looks for structure — where price broke, where it left an imbalance behind, and whether it has come back.

Order blocks

The candle institutions defended before a move. Zones are tracked on 4H and daily, scored on how hard price left them, the volume behind them, and how many times they have already been tested.

Break of structure

A close beyond a swing point, never a wick. Breaks with the trend read as continuation; breaks against it as a change of character — and the daily trend decides which is which.

Volume in context

Compared against the same clock hour on prior days, not a flat average — the last hour of an Indian session is always heavy, and a flat mean calls that a spike every single day.

Events that override

Results due inside five days outrank any technical read. Company news is attached to the individual stock rather than dumped in a feed, and stale headlines are filtered by publication date.

Institutional flow

FII and DII shareholding parsed from NSE's own quarterly filings — a slow conviction layer that sits beside the technical read, never a trigger on its own.

One journal

Every position, entry, exit and real charge in one place, reconciled against the broker rather than estimated — so the P&L on screen is the P&L in the account.

How a setup reaches the screen

Roughly two hundred stocks go in each morning. Most days a handful come out.

Trend

The daily EMA stack decides whether a stock is a long candidate or a short one. Nothing is looked at against its own trend.

Structure

Swings, breaks and order blocks are rebuilt on 1H, 4H and daily — each timeframe with its own swing sensitivity.

Location

Only stocks whose price has actually returned to a trend-matching zone qualify. Everything else waits.

Confirmation

Rejection at the edge, the candle that printed there, and volume against the same hour on other days.

Risk

The stop is the level that voids the idea, not a round number. If that stop is too tight to be real, the setup is flagged.

How claims are treated here

Most of what gets built is thrown away. That is the point of building it.

Nothing counts until it is measured. Ideas are backtested on point-in-time data with the stop modelled at the candle's open when price gaps through it — never at the stop price itself.
A result needs six months or a hundred trades. A one-month sample has produced the exact opposite verdict to a six-month run on the same strategy, more than once.
Every test runs against a placebo. Random entries through the identical exit machinery. If the signal cannot beat that, it is not a signal.
Unvalidated is labelled unvalidated. Several views here are plausible and untested, and they say so on the screen rather than borrowing confidence from the ones that are.
