The market was non-directional this week also and while Bank Nifty slipped throughout with chopping trends the Nifty picked up some strength in the middle but could not hold on.

The week was also marred with overnight global whiplashes that caused the non trending motion and this resulted in further drawdown on our trend following STAIRS program. The strategy lost about 12 pct in the week.

The Options4STAIRS module of STAIRS has been soft launched. The model so far only has buy options strategy that will mirror the STAIRS trends. This is offered as part of the existing STAIRS strategy and users will be able to utilize the STAIRS advantage using lower capital and defined risk strategies. More details can be obtained on email.

The smallcases were all flying this week. . The gains in both MiMTAllcap and MiSTATH and Mi25 have been phenomenal thanks also to the smallcap focus last week.

For Monday 21 SEP 2020, the proposed changes are:

Mi_LT_CNX200    :NO CHANGE.
Mi_MT_Allcap     : NO CHANGE.
Mi_ST_ATH           :NO CHANGE
Mi 25                      :NO CHANGE.

In the LIVE product strategies,  all products gained handsomely with Mi25 and Mi50 standing out. The LIVE products provides a mature ground for more diversified and lower risk strategies than the smallcases and are suited for larger portfolios.

The Smallcases were the GOOD, there was no BAD and STAIRS was the UGLY for the week.

That is all this week. STAY SAFE and stay in peace !
