Current Stage: —
Loading...
Stage 1 — Night Before (8:00-9:00 PM)
Calculate Tomorrow's CPR
- Calculate CPR from today's H, L, C
- Classify CPR: Narrow / Wide / Virgin / Ladder
- Mark TC (Top CPR), PP (Pivot), BC (Bottom CPR) levels
Stage 2 — Early Morning (6:30-7:30 AM)
Global Market Check
- Check US market closes (S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq)
- Check GIFT Nifty vs yesterday's Nifty close
- Calculate expected gap (GIFT − Previous Close)
- Check Asian markets (Nikkei, Hang Seng)
Stage 3 — Pre-Market (8:30-9:10 AM)
Gap Analysis & Trade Planning
Final GIFT Nifty reading (most accurate gap predictor). Confirm expected open:
| Gap Range | Expected Open | Bias |
|---|---|---|
| Gap > +50 | Above TC | Bullish |
| Gap < −50 | Below BC | Bearish |
| Gap ±50 | Near CPR | Neutral |
Plan trades based on CPR Type:
| CPR Type | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Narrow + Bullish Gap | Prepare long breakout above TC |
| Narrow + Bearish Gap | Prepare short breakdown below BC |
| Wide CPR | Range: buy BC, sell TC |
| Virgin CPR | Key S/R for pullback entries |
Stage 4 — Market Open (9:15-9:45 AM)
Observe — Do NOT Trade
- Observe actual open vs CPR levels
- Watch first 15-minute candle
- DO NOT TRADE — let volatility settle
⚠ This is the highest-risk period. Opening volatility creates false breakouts.
Stage 5 — Confirmation (9:45-10:00 AM)
Enter with Confidence
- Wait for sustained breakout/breakdown
- Confirm with volume
- Enter trades in confirmed direction
After 9:45-10:00 AM: 80-90% confidence level
Key Takeaway
You can predict the day's bias with 60-70% confidence by 9:00 AM using:
| Signal | Known At |
|---|---|
| CPR | Previous day 3:30 PM |
| GIFT Nifty gap | 6:00-9:00 AM |
| Global cues | 6:00-8:30 AM |
| FII flows | Previous day 4:15 PM |
But wait until 9:45-10:00 AM for 80-90% confidence before entering trades, to avoid false breakouts and opening volatility.

Limitations & Disclosures
This workflow is a decision-support framework, not financial advice. CPR calculations are based on previous day's price action and may not predict intraday moves with certainty. Gap analysis relies on GIFT Nifty data availability. All trades should be managed with proper risk management. Historical workflow patterns do not guarantee future results.
