Intraday trading strategies based on CPR (Central Pivot Range) indicator, moving averages, and price action analysis. 

1. Central Pivot Range (CPR): The CPR indicator consists of three key levels—the central pivot (P), Top CPR (TC), and Bottom CPR (BC). These levels act as potential support and resistance areas.

2. Moving Averages (MA): Moving averages help identify the overall trend and provide dynamic support and resistance levels. Two commonly used moving averages are the 20-period moving average (EMA20) and the 200-period moving average (EMA200).

  1. Price Action: Price action analysis involves studying patterns, candlestick formations, and chart patterns to make trading decisions based on the behavior of price itself.

Here's a step-by-step guide to an intraday trading strategy :

  1. Identify the trend: Use the EMA200 to determine the overall trend direction. If the price is above the MA200, consider it an uptrend and Bullish, and if it's below, consider it a downtrend or Bearish

Also, watch for breakouts above or below the CPR levels.

  5. Entry criteria: For long positions, consider entering when the price breaks above the CPR's TC level or when a bullish price action signal occurs near the CPR or MA20. For short positions, look for a breakdown below the BC or below S1 level or bearish price action near the CPR or EMA20.

  6. Set stop-loss and take-profit levels: Place a stop-loss order below the BC level for long trades and above the TC level for short trades. Take-profit levels can be set based on your risk-reward ratio or by identifying key support or resistance levels on the chart.
