All 41 prebuilt strategies
Each one is a classic, well-documented rule, explained in plain words in the app.
Trend 11
- SMA crossoverBuy when the fast SMA crosses above the slow SMA; sell when it crosses back below.
- EMA crossoverBuy when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA; sell on the cross back below. Reacts faster than SMAs.
- Triple EMA stackIn a trade while EMA fast > mid > slow (a stacked uptrend); out as soon as the stack breaks.
- Golden / death crossThe classic long-term signal: buy on the 50 SMA crossing above the 200 SMA (golden), sell on the death cross.
- SupertrendAn ATR band that trails price. Buy when price closes above it and it flips green; sell when it flips red.
- Parabolic SAR flipFollows the SAR dots: buy when they flip below price, sell when they flip above.
- ADX + DI trendBuy when +DI crosses above −DI while ADX shows a real trend (above the threshold); sell on the opposite cross.
- Ichimoku TK crossBuy when the Tenkan line crosses above the Kijun line with price above the Kijun; sell on the cross back down.
- Heikin-Ashi trendSmoothed candles: buy after two green Heikin-Ashi candles in a row, sell after two red ones.
- Hull MA slopeBuy when the Hull moving average turns up, sell when it turns down. Hull reacts quickly with little lag.
- Aroon crossAroon Up measures how recently the high was set, Aroon Down the low. Buy when Up crosses above Down, sell on the reverse.
Momentum 7
- MACD signal crossBuy when the MACD line crosses above its signal line; sell when it crosses below.
- MACD zero lineBuy when MACD crosses above zero (fast EMA above slow), sell when it drops below zero.
- RSI 50 trendUses RSI as a trend filter: in a trade while RSI is above 50, out when it slips below.
- Stochastic crossBuy when %K crosses above %D below the oversold line; sell when it crosses below %D above overbought.
- Rate of changeMomentum in percent over N bars. Buy when it crosses above zero, sell when it crosses below.
- TRIX signalTRIX is the rate of change of a triple-smoothed EMA. Buy when it crosses above its signal line, sell below.
- Momentum + trend filterBuy when the close makes a new N-bar high while above the 100 EMA; exit on a close below the 20 EMA.
Mean reversion 7
- RSI 30 / 70Buy when RSI climbs back above 30 (leaving oversold); sell when it falls back below 70 (leaving overbought).
- Williams %RBuy when %R rises back above −80 (oversold), sell when it drops back below −20 (overbought).
- CCI ±100Buy when CCI comes back up through −100, sell when it comes back down through +100.
- Bollinger reversionBuy when price closes back inside the lower band; sell when it reaches the middle band.
- Z-score reversionMeasures how many standard deviations price is from its average. Buy below −2, exit when it returns to 0.
- VWAP reversionBuy when price stretches a set percent below VWAP and turns up; exit when it gets back to VWAP.
- RSI(2) pullbackA short-term pullback rule: in an uptrend (above the 200 SMA), buy when 2-period RSI drops under 10; sell when it tops 70.
Breakout 5
- Donchian / TurtleThe Turtle rule: buy on a close above the highest high of the last 20 bars, sell on a close below the lowest low of the last 10.
- Keltner breakoutBuy when price closes above the upper Keltner channel (EMA + ATR); exit when it closes back below the middle EMA.
- Inside bar breakoutAfter an inside bar (range inside the bar before it), buy a close above the mother bar's high; sell a close below its low.
- NR7 breakoutNR7 is the narrowest range of the last 7 bars — a quiet spell. Buy the next close above its high; exit after N bars or below its low.
- Gap and goBuy when a bar opens a set percent above the previous close and closes higher than it opened; exit on the first red bar.
Volatility 4
- Bollinger squeezeWhen the bands get unusually narrow (a squeeze), buy a close above the upper band; exit below the middle band.
- ATR trailing stopEnter on a close above the 20 EMA; a stop trails N × ATR below the highest close and exits the trade when hit.
- Chandelier exitLong stop hangs N × ATR below the highest high; short stop above the lowest low. Buy when price clears the short stop, sell when it breaks the long stop.
- ATR range expansionBuy a green bar whose range is more than N × ATR (a burst of buying); exit when price closes below the bar's midpoint.
Volume 4
- OBV trendOn-balance volume adds volume on up bars and subtracts it on down bars. Buy when OBV crosses above its 20 EMA, sell below.
- Money Flow IndexA volume-weighted RSI. Buy when MFI rises back above 20, sell when it falls back below 80.
- Volume breakoutBuy a close at a new 20-bar high on volume at least N × its 20-bar average; exit on a close below the 10 EMA.
- VWAP trendUses VWAP as the day's fair price: long while price is above VWAP, out (or short) when it closes below.
Patterns 3
- Engulfing candlesBuy after a bullish engulfing candle (a green body that swallows the prior red one); sell after a bearish engulfing.
- Three soldiers / crowsBuy after three green candles, each closing higher (three white soldiers); sell after three falling red ones (three black crows).
- Hammer / shooting starBuy after a hammer (long lower wick, small body near the top) below the 20 SMA; sell after a shooting star above it.
Write a script on your phone and see it on the chart.
A practical subset of Pine Script v5 runs right in the app. This is the library's EMA crossover:
//@version=5
strategy("EMA Crossover", overlay=true)
fastLen = input.int(9, "Fast EMA", minval=2, maxval=100)
slowLen = input.int(21, "Slow EMA", minval=3, maxval=300)
fast = ta.ema(close, fastLen)
slow = ta.ema(close, slowLen)
plot(fast, "Fast EMA", color=color.blue)
plot(slow, "Slow EMA", color=color.orange)
if ta.crossover(fast, slow)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
if ta.crossunder(fast, slow)
strategy.close("Long")
Supported: inputs, var and :=, if/else, for loops, history like close[1], 30+ ta.* functions, plot, hline, plotshape and strategy.entry / close / exit. Read the Pine Script guide.
15 ready-made scripts

- Stochastic %K %D indicatorWhere the close sits inside the recent high-low range, with a smoothed signal line.
- Momentum (ROC) indicatorRate of change over N bars — positive means price is higher than it was N bars ago.
- Volume Spike Finder indicatorMarks bars whose volume is far above its recent average — often where news or big orders hit.
- CCI Zones indicatorCommodity Channel Index with the ±100 zones that mark unusually strong moves.
- Pivot Highs & Lows indicatorLabels swing highs and lows — bars that are the extreme of the bars on both sides.
- ADX Trend Filter strategyOnly takes DI crossovers when ADX says a trend is actually present.
What each number on the backtest card means
What the strategy made on this chart's bars after 0.1% fees per side, next to simply holding the stock.
The share of closed trades that made money. A low win rate can still be fine if the wins are big.
Money won ÷ money lost. Above 1 means the wins outweighed the losses on this test.
The deepest fall from a high point of the equity curve: how painful the strategy was to hold.
The mean return per trade, after fees. Small numbers here are easily erased by real-world costs.
How much of the period the strategy held a position. Less time in the market means less exposure.
Every strategy here is a white box: its rules are visible and every signal is drawn. Black box vs white box AI trading, explained →
A backtest shows how a rule behaved on past bars of one stock. It does not predict future moves. Use it to learn how strategies behave, never as a buy or sell signal.

Pro Chart FAQ
Is Pro Chart free?
Yes. All 41 strategies, the no-code builder, the Pine Script editor and every backtest are free in the StockYatra app. You practise with virtual coins; nothing costs real money.
Where do I find it?
Open the StockYatra app, open the side menu and tap Pro Chart. Pick a stock and a time frame, then a strategy, a build of your own or a Pine script.
Which prices are the backtests run on?
On the bars of the chart you are looking at: StockYatra's practice-market prices, a simulation that moves around each stock's real-world level. They are for learning and are not official exchange quotes.
Does a good backtest mean the strategy will make money?
No. A backtest shows how a rule would have behaved on past bars of one stock. Markets change, real trading has costs and slippage, and a rule tuned to the past often fails later. Use it to understand ideas, not as a signal.
How much Pine Script does it support?
A practical subset of Pine Script v5: inputs, variables with var and :=, if/else, for loops, history like close[1], 30+ ta.* functions (sma, ema, rsi, macd, bb, atr, supertrend, stoch, vwap, crossover and more), plot, hline, plotshape and strategy.entry / close / exit. Errors are shown by line number.
Is this investment advice?
No. StockYatra is an education app, not a broker or adviser. Strategies and scripts are teaching tools; nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
