APIBridge Nifty Options Algo Strategy

Using Pinescript, we will use charts of Cash/Future to trade in Options. Note this strategy works well with even the free version of TradingView.

The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). Is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Increasing RSI shows increasing bullish momentum. Decreasing RSI shows increasing bearish momentum. We take RSI upper bound as 80 to indicate bullish momentum and RSI lower bound as 20 to indicate bearish momentum.

We use the above premise to create options buy-only strategy which trades in ATM strikes by default. This strategy requires very less margin (Minimum Rs . 15000).

Since this strategy uses underlying data (cash/future) to place trades in Options, please ignore the backtest of this strategy given by TradingView. TradingView does not provide options data but this strategy bypasses it.

Increasing RSI shows increasing bullish momentum. Decreasing RSI shows increasing bearish momentum. We take RSI upper bound as 80 to indicate bullish momentum and RSI lower bound as 20 to indicate bearish momentum.

NSE Options Algo Strategy Logic
Long Entry: When RSI goes above 80, send LE in an auto-calculated option strike Call. When RSI goes below 20, send LE in auto-calculated option strike Put.
Long Exit: When we hit Stop loss or Target. In case SL/TGT does not hit and reverse RSI goes above 80 send Long Exit in auto-calculated option. Put as per last trade; RSI goes below 20, send LX in auto-calculated option call as per last trade.

For Long and Short entry the order is fired in the option buying side with auto strike price selection.
