This strategy is taken out of one of the video shared by Algo Test Instrument:  Nifty CE and PE weekly option based on SPOT which is trading near to premium of 50 point at 1045 Entry:  Enter into CE and PE when their premium becomes 20% more than that at 1045  E.g. say at 1045, 23300 PE is trading at 41 (closest to 100 point) and 23900 CE is trading at 52. So we will buy 23300 PE once it price reaches 1.2* 41 ~ 49.2. 23900 CE will be entered once it reaches 52 * 1.2 ~ 62.4 Stop Loss -  25% of entry price  Trailing Stop Loss - Trail stop loss by 0.75% for every 1% increase in profit Exit -  Exit at 1515 Capital Needed:  Assuming we will be buying option at average price of 60 and both CE and PE option can be traded at a given point of time so overall money need to buy the positions for 1 Lot of CE + 1 Lot of PE will be 60 * 2 * 25 = 3000. Now the maximum drawdown for this strategy is 8.2k so thrice of that will be kept as buffer so trading capital for ...

This is an expiry day strategy which takes up to 2 adjustments per leg.  Entry time : 09:22 Exit time: 15:15 MTM SL : 3600 per lot Capital: 4,85,000  Logic:  1. Enter into a short straddle i.e. sell ATM CE and PE based on SPOT Nifty with leg level target as 50% and Stop-Loss as 60% 2. If target hit in step 1 for any leg then again take the entry in ATM option (Sell) for the same leg with same target and Stop-Loss of 50% and 60% respectively. No further entry to be taken if target is hit in second entry in a given leg.  3. If SL hit for any leg in step 1 or in step 2 then sell the opposite leg closer to 50 Point with SL as 50%. E.g. if the Stop loss is hit in CE option then PE option near to 50 should be sold.  4. If SL hit in leg taken in option 3 then buy ATM option of same leg as taken in step 3 with target of 40% and Stop-Loss as 25%. E.g. in step 3, we are buying a PE near to option 50 and its SL gets triggered then ATM PE option needs to be bought.  S...

In this blog post, I will be talking about the various trading platforms I have used in past 3 years of Algo trading.  Tradetron Tradetron was the first platform which I started using in Jun' 21 which was the start of my algo trading journey. Coming to the advantages of the platform, it is a no code platform which means you have lot of flexibility in setting up the strategies in the way you want. Even without knowing coding you can set up the Tradetron to execute your trading logic.  This platform can be used to set up simple time based straddles, strangles as well as complex strategies e.g. legs with varying SL, varying entry/exit times etc. During my start of trading journey there were lot of strategies floating on YT which were using Super trend. Was able to automate them using this platform but found that their returns were not as good as advertised.  It even provides the logic for stock options trading which is not usually available on other trading platforms. Along ...

Entry time : 0930 Exit time    : 1455 Day                : Sensex expiry day only Instrument:  Sensex Strike : Sell ATM CE & PE based on SPOT price and Buy OTM10 CE/PE as hedge Stop Loss: 50% for both ATM legs with adjust to cost i.e. if SL is hit for 1 leg then SL for other leg will be adjusted to its entry price. No SL for hedges (OTM10 CE/PE) Slippage : 0.5% Capital:  43k per lot Note (8-Jun-24): I am running this strategy from past month (May '24) without OTM10 hedges and results are more or less in line with back test.  May be this is more so as there were not many spikes in Sensex on expiry day in past 1 month. However in past there used to be spikes in Sensex index and there is a chance that because of that strategy wouldn't have given returns similar to what back test shows.  The absolute returns of this strategy are same in both hedged version and non hedged version. This is because on few days hedge...
