Sample Day Trade Plan: A NIFTY 50 Session, Level by Level
4 min read
What a daily plan looks like
This page walks through one real plan from start to finish: the NIFTY 50 levels published for the September 15 2026 session, and the recap of how that session traded. Every number below comes from the published plan, which is still in the Trade Plans archive.
Thousands separators are left out, the way the plans print prices now.
1. The levels for the session ahead
The plan for September 15 went out after the NSE close on September 14. For NIFTY 50 the plan listed eight prices:
- All listed levels: 23439.70, 23486.10, 23496.80, 23500, 23504.90, 23506.50, 23520.20, 23640
- Nearest pivot: 23500
- Resistance above: 23504.90, 23506.50, 23520.20, 23640
- Support below: 23496.80, 23486.10, 23439.70
- Above 23504.90: 23506.50 next
- Lose 23496.80: 23486.10 next
The pivot is the level closest to the last price before the plan published. The levels either side of the pivot sit close together on this day, a tight band from 23486.10 to 23520.20, with one level farther out on each side: 23640 above and 23439.70 below.
A plan carries no entry price, target, stop or direction. Those depend on your strategy, account size and risk rules. The plan gives every trader the same set of prices, and each trader decides what to do at them.
2. How a trader might prepare from the plan
Before the open, most subscribers do three things with a plan like this one:
- Draw the levels. Paste the "All listed levels" line into a charting tool, or load the levels file into MyLinedChart, which draws them for you.
- Mark the band. The tight cluster around the pivot at 23500 is where price is likely to spend time if the day is quiet. A move out of the band in either direction points at the next level on that side.
- Set alerts. An alert at 23520.20 and another at 23486.10 tells you when price leaves the band, so you can step away from the screen until then.
3. What happened in the session
The recap in the next plan, published after the September 15 close, told the story:
NIFTY opened at 23562.60, dropped down and tagged the 23439.70 to 23486.10 zone and low at 23180, then ended up closing at 23220. Finishing the trading session down 1.45% intraday and down 1.19% overall.
Read against the plan, the day went like this:
- The open at 23562.60 sat above the whole band and below 23640, the top level.
- Price fell back through the band and through the 23500 pivot.
- Price reached the 23439.70 to 23486.10 zone, which held the two lowest support levels.
- Price kept falling past every level in the plan to a low of 23180, then closed at 23220, about 220 points below the lowest level.
The recap is the free part of every plan. You can check each number against your own chart, because the session has closed and the levels were published before the session started.
4. What the recap tells you about the levels
A day like September 15 shows the two jobs a level does. Inside the band, the levels gave a trader exact prices to watch while the market decided which way to go. Once price left the band and broke 23439.70, the plan had no more support below, and the move ran 260 points further. A trader using the levels for stops would have had a clear price where a long idea was wrong, well before the low.
The Pro section of each plan now also counts touches and volume at each level, under the heading "Busiest levels". Those counts show which prices did the most business, which helps when you compare plans across weeks.
5. The free download
Each recap links to a free file with the session's levels, for your own review and backtesting. The September 15 file sits at the MyLinedChart daily levels page for that date. Because published levels never change after they go out, a backtest built on these files uses the same prices a subscriber had before the open.
6. Which instruments appear
US plans cover SPY, ES, QQQ and NQ. Active Traders plans cover NVDA, TSLA, BTC, GLD, CL and more, published after the same US close.
Not every instrument appears every day. When the levels for one do not resolve into anything worth trading, it is marked sidelined. The S&P pair tends to sideline together, so SPY and ES show up less often than QQQ and NQ.
7. Charts
Each instrument in the free section comes with a chart of the closed session, with the published levels drawn on it, so you can see where price met them without rebuilding the picture yourself.
8. MyLinedChart levels
The same levels are available as data for MyLinedChart, which draws them on your chart and exports the whole thing as XLSX, JSON or CSV. That matters if you keep records or want an AI agent to turn the levels into rules. It saves time, since every number is already written out in the plan and you can plot them by hand on any platform.
What a plan deliberately does not contain
- No entry or exit prices.
- No direction calls, and no view on whether the market goes up or down.
- No position sizing, which depends on an account the plan cannot see.
- No performance claims, win rates or track record framing.
The plan gives you the prices that mattered before and are likely to matter again. Everything after that is your strategy.
Getting the plans
The free plan gives you the upcoming session's levels 5 minutes before the open, plus the breakdown above. Pro gets them about 1 hour after each market closes. See subscribing and tiers or go straight to pricing.
