Dear Sir,
I wanted to ask if the concepts and strategies shared in your book will be covered in your upcoming Pune event? As a beginner, I’ve recently enrolled in your Gurukul platform—specifically the "Trading with Renko" module—and I’m very eager to learn under your guidance. Your insights mean a lot to me, and I’m hoping this event will help strengthen my foundation further. Looking forward to your reply.Warm regards,
Umang Gohil. -

hi prasanth sir, I have completed a quick read of the great book and now re reading to digest the things needed for creating a momentum strategy for me. i have a small query regarding RSI 7 column P&F mentioned in the book . Is it checking all the previous 7 column above 50 or is that the current column is above RSI 7- 50%.

With NIFTY 500, MidSmall 400 and NIFTY TOTAL MARKET crossing both 20 and 50EMA today, this book and the offline Event have got renewed significance for me.... @Prashant-Shah

@Prashant-Shah Sir, any plan for more such events in different cities. especially in Delhi

When we back test given strategies in book on R-Zone, results are not matching. Just want to validate all inputs provided by me are correct in scanner

Dear Prashant, After watching your momentum videos last year, I started practicing with 20 stock portfolio and was out of the position in September end once GS composite index started out performing Nifty. I have not re entered yet. Meanwhile I attended NL Fundo-Techno Strategies and Momentum investing sessions you and team conducted last month. I was in two minds whether I should buy this book or I had enough information to practice what I learned. Once I started reading this Book all my doubts withered away, such a well written book, it keeps you curious and most importantly nudges you to explore on your own. My favourite section is 'you' and 'me' discussion. Thank you for this wonderful and very thoughtfully written book.

@RAJA BABU Attend offline conferences of Definedge and try to network and learn and then execute

@Prashant-Shah Something has been wrong with the Momentum Trading Scanner for some time, and today, something is definitely wrong. Today, I am trying to scan the Nifty 500 group of companies, but the scanner is showing only 210 stocks being scanned. When I am scanning the Nifty 100 group, only 49 stocks are being scanned.
-
@RAJA BABU If there is a specific query, I can help.

@Prashant-Shah Hello Sir, I was trying to deploy a strategy on Momentify but encountered an issue. I set the total allocation to ₹5,00,000 and enabled the SIP amount at ₹20,000. However, upon saving the strategy, the allocation shows 1, and the SIP remains ₹20,000. When I disable the SIP, it correctly reflects the total allocation. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
-
Momentify is a wonderful platform, thank you for developing this.
I have done mutiple simulations to test and learn about Investing Strategy.
Need your help to reduce the losses.
Here's what I am doing :
MIP30 252 period only , within 50% retracement, EMA of 200 and 100 both .. also using Market trend filter with Nifty500 and EMA 20 and rest is all default.For simulation, I am doing SIP of 1 lac, start date 1Jan222 till 28Apr25 and 10 stocks with exit Rank20.
-
As per the exported data, I am making a CAGR of 123.15%, but if system could have avoided trading after 1st Oct , this would have been much higher.
Till 01Oct2024 the Total PL is Rs. 3,136,202.. but till 28Apr2025 it is left with Total PL @ Rs. 1340401. = CACR 123.15% -
Out of 98 total traded 26 of them are less than 30-34 days and all are having -ve returns. except 5 days out of 26 which are positive. Net Loss of 1,61,306 (removed last 28days of Apr trades as they did not complete 1 full month)
-
Since the rebalancing is happening only on 1st (as per simulation) it is skipping stocks with are below 20EMA during rebalancing period.. example Mazdocks.
If we could somehow exit and re-enter a stock within 1 month (even within rebalancing period) when it goes above 20EMA (example) on a later date , we could have ridden the full momentum of this stock or similar.
Please make some provision to re-enter a stock which was exited in last 1-2 months due to Market Trend filter either a daily monitor/flag/pop-up.. to allow mannual entry. This would help catch the full momentum of a stock. which somehow got kicked out only because, on the date of rebalancing (or around that period), it went out of scope.
-
-
I just saw that there's an option "Add to portfolio" .. but this allows only 1 scrip addition. After 1 scrip is added, the option to add to portfolio disappears. Request you to please allow more additions. This will help in adding stocks which got missed out because on rebalance date, it was below 20EMA(example).. and then 2-3 days later those stocks again continued the momentum.
Also please allow to Sell stocks from the monthly list, to rebalance the allocated funds, or to remove some list before they continue to add losses to the overall portfolio the entire month. -
@Parul Mahajan @Prashant-Shah Yes, i am also facing similar issue when enabling SIP. The allocation only shows 1.
-
@@Definedge-Experts @Prashant-Shah I took some positions yesterday using the trading strategy section in momentify however all the positions got squared off automatically at 3:15. Cash margin was not an issue here. Are the trading strategy-initiated trades taken as intraday trades?
-
@Prashant-Shah Sir, 1 probable bug :
Inside the Positions help, from the list of stock, when I click edit and Add ä "minus quantity", then the Scrip qty is reducing to 1.
Example : PGEL initial position shows 11 qty.. but when I edit and add -5 (minus 5), the new qty comes down to 1 qty. Even if I edit and add -11 (actual full qty), it still comes down to 1. -
@Prashant-Shah
For the last 1 year I'm not getting any strategy which beat NIFTY CAGR or 7.5%. Is this correct?
I have tried Nifty 500, 252, 50% retracement, Market Trend Filter, Ranking by Return %, Entry Above D Smart, both with RS (N500 Above D Smart) and without RS.
I also Tried on NIFTY TOTAL MARKET, Nifty 100 etc.
Please guide.
?!?!?
