What is options trading?
Options trading is a financial strategy that involves buying and selling
contracts that grant the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or
sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within
a specific timeframe.

It allows investors to speculate on price movements, hedge against risks,


and potentially earn profits from market fluctuations.
What is the difference between
options trading and share trading?
Options trading and share trading are two different methods of investing in the financial markets.
Share trading involves buying and selling shares of individual companies, representing ownership in the
company, with profits or losses determined by changes in the share price.

On the other hand, options trading involves buying and selling contracts that grant the holder the right,
but not the obligation, to buy or sell shares at a predetermined price within a specific
timeframe, allowing investors to speculate on price movements, hedge against risks,
and potentially earn profits from market fluctuations.
What is a PUT and a CALL
in options trading?
In options trading, a PUT is a contract that gives the holder the right,
but not the obligation, to SELL an underlying asset at a predetermined
price within a specific timeframe.

On the other hand, a CALL is a contract that grants the holder the
right, but not the obligation, to BUY an underlying asset at a
predetermined price within a specific timeframe.
Why is selling options on
expiry day lucrative?
Selling options on expiry day can be lucrative for certain traders due to the
rapid decline in time value as options approach expiration.

As the time value diminishes significantly, options sellers can buy back the
contracts at a lower price, potentially profiting from the difference between the
premium received and the lower buyback cost.

However, it's important to note that options trading involves risks, and not all
traders may find this strategy suitable for their risk tolerance and
market outlook.
What is backtesting?
Backtesting is a process used in finance and investing to evaluate
the performance of a trading strategy or investment approach using
historical market data.

It involves applying the strategy to past market conditions to assess


how it would have performed in the past, providing insights into its
potential effectiveness and risks.
What is paper trading?
Paper trading is a simulated form of trading where investors practice
buying and selling financial assets without risking real money,
allowing them to test trading strategies and gain experience in a
risk-free environment.
What is algo trading?
Algorithmic trading, often referred to as algo trading, is a method of executing trades
in financial markets using computer algorithms. In this approach, pre-programmed
instructions or rules are set to automatically analyze market data,
identify trading opportunities, and execute buy or sell orders without
the need for human intervention.

Algo trading aims to leverage speed, accuracy, and efficiency in order placement,
leading to potentially improved trading outcomes and reduced trading costs. It is
commonly used in various financial instruments such as stocks, futures,
options, and currencies.
What is automated trading?

Automated trading is a method of executing buy or sell orders in


financial markets using pre-programmed algorithms that automatically
analyze market data and execute trades without human intervention.

It aims to eliminate human emotions, increase trading efficiency, and


enable the execution of multiple trades at a high speed.
What percentage of trading
in USA is automated?
It is estimated that automated or algorithmic trading accounted for
approximately 70-80% of the total trading volume in the United States.

This substantial percentage reflects the growing popularity and


adoption of automated trading systems among various market
participants, including large financial institutions, hedge funds, and
individual traders.
What is Tradetron?

Tradetron is a technology platform that facilitates algorithmic


trading and automated investing.

It allows users to create, test, and deploy trading strategies or


investment models without the need for extensive
programming knowledge, making it accessible to both
professional and retail traders.
What is API binding?

You will need to set up a broker account (eg. Zerodha, ICICI etc). API
binding refers to the integration of a platform (Tradetron) with the broker
enabling strategies on Tradetron to be executed by the Broker.
What Strategy is
followed by AlgoGrow?
AlgoGrow uses a STRADDLE STRATEGY which is an options trading strategy where an
investor simultaneously buys a call option and a put option with the same strike price
and expiration date for the same underlying asset.

The straddle allows the investor to profit from significant price movements in either
direction, as the call option benefits from price increases, while the put option benefits
from price decreases.

This strategy is commonly used when the investor expects high volatility in the
underlying asset but is uncertain about the direction of the price movement.
How many Trades are taken a
day in the AlgoGrow strategy:
4 trades are taken a day as part of the straddle strategy.
This is broken up into:
Selling Options- a PUT and a CAll,
and Buying Options - A PUT and a CALL.
How often does the
AlgoGrow strategy trade in a week?
Currently only Tuesdays (FinNifty expiry) and Thursday (BankNifty expiry). As the Indian
trading ecosystem evolves, more days of trading are expected. Nifty expiry trading will
most likely start from September and trading on the other days will hopefully start soon
after that.
Get ready for a power-packed trading week with
SIX major indices expiring each day.
◊ Monday - Midcap
◊ Tuesday - FinNifty
◊ Wednesday - BankNifty
◊ Thursday - Nifty
◊ Friday - SENSEX & BANKEX
What is Stop loss?
Stop loss is a risk management tool used in trading to automatically
sell a security when its price reaches a predetermined level, aiming
to limit potential losses.

It is a popular strategy to protect investments from significant


downturns in the market while allowing traders to stay disciplined in
their risk management approach.

The AlgoGrow strategy has a stop loss in place.
