The strategy calls for investing in the 10 highest dividend yield stocks from the NIFTY  stocks.
Dividend Yield is a value measure  where you divide the latest annual dividends by the current

stock price. So a high dividend yield usually implies stocks whose prices have fallen and are

thus out of favour with investors. Thus was coined "Dogs of the Nifty"!

The strategy requires investing an equal amount in the top 10 dividend yield stocks and rebalancing
the portfolio every year weeding out those that fail the criteria and supplementing the rest with new

stocks that qualify.

Nifty : ATR & ADX


The true range indicator is the greatest of the following: 
-current high less the current low. 
-the absolute value of the current high less the previous close. 
-the absolute value of the current low less the previous close. 

The average true range is a moving average (generally 14-days) of the true ranges. Simply put, a stock experiencing a high level of volatility will have a higher ATR, and a low volatility stock will have a lower ATR.

Nilesh Deshpande won the "Expiry contest" in "JustNifty" & explain the basis on which he had 'figure' it as follows:

"ATR works on most days, but not on all days.

My formula is simple.

PC-ATR*.80 to PC-ATR*0.50 Buy Zone

PC+ATR*0.50 to PC+ATR*0.80 Sell Zone

where PC is previous day's close.

Bears get weak near PC-ATR*0.50 to PC-ATR*0.75, but get charged up below PC-ATR*0.80 for a target of DH-1.5*ATR

Bulls get weak near PC+ATR*0.50 to PC+ATR*0.75, but get charged up above PC+ATR*0.80 for a target of DL+1.5ATR

where DH & DL are current days High & Low respectively.

Gives out better results when used with ADX for determining whether this is a trending or a sideways market."

Benner Cycles & BSE Sensex

Source: http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/higgs-bosoncycle-theoryeverything-i/480266/
Samuel Benner ,  a prosperous farmer wiped out financially by the 1873 panic,  noted that highs of the business tend to follow a repeating 8-9-10 yearly pattern. With respect to economic low points, he noted two series of time sequences indicating that recessions (bad times) anddepressions (panics) tend to alternate. The panic years reflect a repeating 16-18-20 pattern.


The cited article " tested the Benner cycles for DOW 30 (from 1929), Sensex 30 (From 1990), Brazil and China. The Benner clock timed all the lows and highs on the respective indices. Benner suggested a top in 2010 (happened) and a slowdown and low in 2011 (happened). Barring Reliance all the other Sensex 30 stocks are still above December 2011 lows. Benner’s cycle foresees prosperity ahead into 2019 and then depression in 2021. Markets have an innate ability to surprise. We won’t bet against Benner’s TIME symmetry."

High (marked in red Rectangle) followed 9,10 already and next is due to be after  8 years  in the Year 2018. Note the 16 years gap in Low  (marked in Blue Rectangle) . Panic low is marked in Green Rectangle


Applying "Rules of 72", Sensex is required to enhanced to 3910 (in 2000) from 1955 in 1991 & instead it showed Extra growth of 57% ; further, to 12300 in 2010 & instead showed an Extra growth of 76%.
In 2018, projection for Sensex comes to 42,216 & with "fingers crossed " look forward to EXTRA of NN% !

What is Fibonacci Time and Price Analysis?


*







When most market analysts talk about timing the market, their opinions are often based on calculations made only on the price axis of the market.  Although price action can give important clues as to when a market is likely to top or bottom, a more accurate assessment can be made by also projecting and calculating from the TIME AXIS of the market.  

Synchronicity is defined as "meaningful coincidence."
What we do at Synchronicity is define the important highs and lows in a particular market and then run our projections and calculations using the ratios derived from the Fibonacci #series. We do this on both the price axis and time axis.  When we see a "meaningful coincidence" of either time or price parameters coming together, we identify a potential turning point in a market and a relatively low risk trade setup.

A coincidence of price parameters or time parameters by themselves will identify an opportunity in the market, however when we see trading parameters on both the Time andPrice axis come together at the same time, we are looking at our highest probability, lowest risk trade setups in the marketplace.

In the E-mini S&P example above, key Fibonacci price support was tested at the 1184.00-1185.00 area at the same time a Fibonacci "Time Cluster" was also tested. A tradable low developed into these time and price parameters. The initial rally off this time and price setup was 9.75 points.
