Sensex Expiry day - Adjustment based strategy

  Note: I am not a SEBI registered advisor and sharing strategies for learning purpose only Logic of the strategy: This is a intra-day strategy and  has to be executed on Sensex 1 day before expiry and on expiry day At 0922 sell Sensex ATM CE/PE weekly options based on spot with target of 50% and SL of 60% on both legs In case SL is hit for any leg Sell 100 PT opposite leg with SL of 50% e.g. if SL is hit on ATM CE then sell 100 Point PE In case target is hit for legs taken in point 2 then again sell the ATM leg of same side with target of 50% and SL of 60%. E.g. if ATM CE taken in point 2 hits the target then again ATM CE will be sold.  If SL is hit on any legs taken in point 4, then follow logic of point 3.  Exit at 15:15 Keep a MTM SL of 4k per lot Stock Mock link for the strategy ->  Sensex 1DTX & XD Adjustment Back Testing Details  (Updated as of 30-Nov-25) Actuals (Started trading from 12-Jul-24)

Algo trading platforms

In this blog post, I will be talking about the various trading platforms I have used in past 5 years of Algo trading.  Tradetron ( 2021-2022) 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.

Same was the story with Sensex expiry day strategies also.  Overall month ended at profit of 58.6k (0.5%). Sensex expiry day adjustment based strategy and Nifty expiry day 1235 straddle went into red territory for the month as well as for the entire financial year.  Considering this a decision has been taken to discontinue Nifty expiry day 1235 straddle and increase the lots in Nifty 5 Point strategy.  Win% was 63% for this month with average profit per day at 7k.  FY 25-26 profit stands at a meagre 5.4%.  Oct'25 This was the second month of trading on only expiry days. As with Sep'25 month the win% for this month was also 80%. However average day profit was almost half as that of Oct'25 and the month ended with net profit of 1 Lakh (0.9%) A summary of...
