Why Track FinNifty Separately
FinNifty (Nifty Financial Services Index) has its own character - it's more concentrated than Nifty 50 (heavy on banks and NBFCs) but broader than Bank Nifty. With a 25-lot size and Tuesday weekly expiry, it attracts traders who want sector exposure without the extreme volatility of Bank Nifty.
Tracking your FinNifty trades separately from Nifty and BankNifty reveals whether this index suits your trading style. Many traders discover they perform better on one index over others, and the journal makes this comparison easy.
