Mr Sandeep Rao’s trend following strategy on Nifty 50 has two parts. According to him, long-term investors will stay in the market whether invested in the index or Exchange Traded Funds. But if you are an active trader and want to trade all the cycles of the market(upside or downside), then he suggests the following strategy.If we have 10 lakhs, then 80% we will invest in the Index whether in ETF or Mutual Funds. The balance 20% we will trade in the Index futures. The two P&Ls will be going on- one of the futures and the other of the ETF. The main problem of this strategy is the leveraging of the futures i.e. a lot of the futures costs around 1.5 lakhs, but the position is of great size. It’s important to understand leverage before implementing this strategy.
