Code your Technical Analysis strategy

April 23, 2013

Traders,

This is where we will be getting help from our programmers to code your technical analysis strategy. It could be as simple as moving average crossovers to anything intermediate. Mention your strategy, we will explain how to code it. Coding your technical analysis strategy is critical because only then will you be able to backtest it and take it live.

So go ahead and post you technical analysis strategy here, we will reply as soon as possible with the code and an explanation of the code itself. The idea behind doing this is that eventually as and when you see various examples on how to code strategies with an explanation, you will stop needing the help and become a strategy coder on your own.

Time to Write, Backtest and Go live on trading the smart way.

  17. Prakash Kranthi says:

    Hello,

    I am on day 1 of using trade script, and was wondering if you can help me with something I am stuck on:
    The query primarily uses BB (plus ADX RSI), and tries to identify buy point using BBM and sell point using BBT. I do have a flaw with the code where it can trigger losses for events such as what we saw in March.
    I think having a global variable which I can set in my Buy script and use it in Sell script can get rid of the problem.
    Is it possible to set Global variables for this? or can I use my holding avg price as ref point in my sell script.

    Something like this

    Buy Script

    SET Bottom = BBB(CLOSE, 20, 1, EXPONENTIAL)
    SET Top = BBT(CLOSE, 20, 1, EXPONENTIAL)
    SET Mid = BBM(CLOSE, 20, 1, EXPONENTIAL)
    SET GLOBALVARIABLE = BBT(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL) #this is my Global variable I want to use in Sell Script.

    REF(LOW, 1) Mid
    AND ADX(20) > 20
    AND DIP(20) > DIN(20)
    AND RSI(CLOSE, 20) > 40

    Sell

    SET Top14 = BBT(CLOSE, 14, 2, EXPONENTIAL)
    SET Top = BBT(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL)

    Top14 > Top
    GLOBALVARIABLE < Top #Global Variable set in Buy script OR
    AVGHOLDINGPRICE = REF(Top, 1)
    AND CLOSE 20
    AND DIP(20) > DIN(20)
    AND RSI(CLOSE, 20) > 40

  45. rajveer says:

    Hi,

    The strategy is “Bollinger bands squeeze” you might have heard made by john Bollinger it uses indicator such as Bollinger bands width ,Bollinger %b and volume.
    OBJECTIVES:
    STEP ONE – IDENTIFY THE SQUEEZE
    the entry criteria for this is Bollinger bands should squeeze you can identify the squeeze from indicator Bollinger bands width you might have to alter it a bit to identify the squeeze (on timetotrade web based platform they had a indicator name “minimum in range” and they combined it with bollinger bands width thats how they identified the squeeze )
    STEP TWO – THE BREAK OF THE UPPER BANDS
    The break of the upper bands could be seen in bollinger bands %b
    STEP THREE – HIGHER VOLUME THEN PREVIOUS BARS EITHER ON THE BREAK OF THE UPPER/LOWER BAND OR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE BARS OF THE BREAK
    The volume should be highest of the session or at least should be highest from previous few bars and above average in general in any given time frame this should be either on the break of the upper/lower band or immediately following the upper/lower bands breaks in 2 to 3 bars

    THE EXIT WILL BE THE BREAK OF LOWER/UPPER BANDS AFTER THE SETUP ENTRY OR PARABOLIC SAR EXIT STRATEGY

    Please let me know as soon as possible if it can be done on tradescript
    thanks

    Hi,

    I am new to programming, it would be great if you give me a code for the below strategy, also please let me know where do i need to execute the code in PI.

    Whenever a buy/sell signal is given by a supertrend over the 5 min candle, there will be a target T1,T2 & T3, once it reaches to the T3 i should sell incase if it’s in buy signal mode and vice versa.

    once the order is executed, the target should be automatically set it to the sell stoploss incase if it’s in buy mode, should set it to the buy stop loss incase if it’s in a sell mode.

    please note that the stoploss would be changing frequently as the market goes on.

    i need this code to be automatically check the conditions for at least 7 scripts.

    Hi ,

    I need a coding with combination of supertrend and SMA. can some help me please?

  56. ananya says:

    You are given 1 minute data of 5 stocks. There are 6 columns in each file, and each column represents this:
    Column 1: Date and time
    Column 2: “Open” for that particular minute
    Column 3: “High” for that particular minute
    Column 4: “Low” for that particular minute
    Column 5: “Close” for that particular minute
    Column 6: Traded volume for that particular minute

    The aim of the backtest is to find the stock which gives the best result based on a trading algorithm. The data is from 22nd Feb, but you can assume the trades will begin from 23rd Feb. The algorithm is as follows:

    At 9:20 am, EMA 50 should be less than VWAP
    To enter a trade: EMA 50 should become greater than VWAP
    The entry price is the “close” of the particular minute where EMA 50 crosses VWAP (as in point 2)
    Do not enter a trade after 1:30 pm. If the conditions are not met, there can be no trades for that day
    Hold the position as long as EMA 50 is greater than VWAP
    To exit a trade: EMA 50 should again cross VWAP. Thus EMA 50 < VWAP. Similarly the exit price will the the "close" of that particular minute
    If the condition in point 4 does not occur during the day, exit the trade at 3:15 pm. We do not carry any trades on to next day
    The best stock would be the one, where the sum of profit/ loss of all trades is maximum

    Hello Sir,

    I like to build a code in Zerodha PI where it auto detects the supertrend signal on 1 minute candle if it is buy (green) or it is sell (red). Now if buy signal is generated I like to put a buy order and wait for next sell signal and as soon as sell signal is generated I like to put a sell order with the double the quantity I buy. for example if super trend signal is buy then purchase buy order of 100 then now when supertrend show the sell signal then sell 200 quantity now wait for next buy signal then buy 200 quantity like this.
    Important note is I like to specify the script/commodity for which I like to run this code.
    Looking for your positive reply.

  67. Anit says:

    Hi,

    My Strategy: Buy Signal – Closing Price > SMA(200), RSI(2) coming from 11 (RSI2 value less than 11,waiting for it to be more than 11)
    Entry – As per Pivot Point Calculator.
    Trailing SL – Initial SL will be Entry Price – 3*ATR(22). For every single point move in higher direction SL will move twice. For Example. Entry Price – Rs.100, High – 110, ATR(22) – 10. So initial SL – 100 – 30 = 70. Now if the new high is 120 which is a movement of 10 points, SL will 70 + 20 = 90. Once SL exceeds high it will automatically exit at that price.

    Sell Signal – Just a opposite with RSI (2) value will be 89.

    Please suggest whether backtesting is possible or not.

    Anit Bose

    I wish to buy one lot of future at a particular price say X. I want to remain long until the price rolls back by 0.50 paisa at any particular time. But want it to be bought again when it starts going up by .50 paisa again. Similarly when it goes down by .50 paisa I want it to be sold. What should be the coding for this in Buy Script, Sell script, Exit long script and Exit short script. My humble request to respond please. I am new to this auto trading.

  88. Chengappa says:

    Zerodha,

    I am interested in learning automating the buying and selling in Pi. I have two questions. Can you kindly answer them ?

    1. I am familiar with programming but I needed a little handholding on executing simple buy/sell scripts. I had a look at tradescript.pdf but it doesn’t seem to have examples and instructions on how to use Pi to automate. Can you please point me to any tutorial ? Just for example, if I want to sell Infosys when it touches Rs.1000, how do I do it ?
    2. Can I automate Pi to buy or sell based on the values of two or more stocks ? (e.g: If the difference between future and spot is > 50, sell future and buy spot)

  89. Kalpesh says:

    Can any body give the code for the below cover order logic.
    If today open price is more than the yesterday close, then SELL with trigger price (+10 point of today open price)
    else today open price is lesser than the yesterday close, then BUY with trigger price (-10 point of today open price).
    and this below code should be execute first minute of the market opens.
    Eg:
    If
    Prev Close [100] Open Price [110] = SELL
    Else
    Prev Close [100] Open Price [90] = BUY
    I have written code by seeing some web pages but missing in trigger price.

  93. SANDEEP says:

    While back testing, I want to know in Sell script at what price last buy took place so if I am making profit I would like to sell off else I would like to keep stocks on hold.

    Also in buy script I want to know if stocks are already on hold, if on hold I don’t want to buy additional. If not on hold then I would like to buy.

    I want to execute above strategy when some indicator that could be MACD, Moving average crossover or whatever produces buy and sell signal.

    How I would do this in back testing?

  94. YASH says:

    if i want to use small case only basic version for using screeners and not a pro version which is paid why do i need to give permission for accessing my holdings or placing orders etc

    • Zerodha Social says:

      Yash, these are primarily for buying smallcases. we can only access your Zerodha account when you’re logged in to check if you have sufficient funds to buy a portfolio/smallcase of stocks created from screener & we only place orders on your behalf when you give manual approval for the same. No worries here!

    • Matti says:

      Hey Ramesh,

      You can apply the desired indicator to your chart on Pi, right click on the chart>Save Chart>Save chart data to Excel. This will export the OHLCV and indicator values for each candle to an excel sheet.

    Hi. I like help in coding my Ichimoku Kinko Hyo strategy. This comes with 2 filters to protect immature trade signals.
    Strategy: Use only the cloud ‘s crossing of Senkou span A and Senkou span B. The trade will be placed accordingly either Buy on Bullish or Sell on Bearish ,upon the crossing of the future cloud’s crossing. From Bullish to Bearish and vice versa.
    The filters 1) Price crosses above Tenkan line for Buy and Price crosses Below Tenkan line for Sell.
    2) ADX the position of the +DI and -DI line. 1) +DI line Above the -DI confirms the Price Above Tenkan line and Future Cloud Bullish crosses for a Buy trade. 2)-DI line Below the +DI will confirm the Price Below the Tenkan line and Future Cloud Bearish crosses for a Sell trade.
    Note: There is a chance that the action of a New trade or Closing an Existing trade could also trigger a New Opposite trade based on this strategy.

    Hey, i want code which can automatically start buying or selling if its comes to my strategy

    my strategy..

    for all charts (scripts) in Commodity.

    Only using super trend indicator.
    Execution on 1 hour super trend but follow supertrend for 1 day.
    if 1 hour create buy single and 1 day signal also buy then Buy
    if 1 hour create sell signal and 1 day signal buy then not automation and should wait until it come to our logic.

    if 1 hour create sell signal and 1 day signal also sell then surely sell.
    if 1 hour create sell and 1 day buy then no trade and wait until it come to our logic.

    Keep stoploss and trailing stoploss.

    I can edit the numbers as of stoploss and trailing stoploss accordingly myself but i want this script anyhow for my bot

    Please advice and get back to me..

    I am looking to backtest a strategy as follows;

    Three Supertrend indicators on Index
    1. 11 – 2
    2. 10 – 3
    3. 7 – 3

    Trades, go long on option for the Index above as follows
    1. Sell CE when all three indicators turn Red; Square off when a candle touches one of the indicator above.
    2. Sell PE when all three indicators turn Green; Square off when a candle touches one of the indicator above.

    In general any good tutorials to learn backtest coding?

    Thanks

    • Anuraag, not possible to scrip supertrend using Pi. I’d suggest you to start learning AFL or python, you can then backtest using these languages.

      • Anuraag Kochhar says:

        Thanks for your response Nithin. Could you tell me if you know a quickest way to learn AFL and how can us it to backtest a strategy? Thanks once again

        • AFL, there are many amibroker dedicated communities. I guess you can google for it.

          • Anuraag Kochhar says:

            Thanks. There is a school of thought that Python is preferred language for Algo trading, read backtesting. Even zerodha provides api and libraries to access data. I understand that Ambibroker platforms require license fee and would need a data source. What is your opinion on this?

  108. Abdulla PM says:

    sir
    is there any alerts system or scanner to know the crossover of WMA&TMA crossover(daily/hourly).If its there plz tell me how to use it

  109. Manish says:

    Hello sir,
    Is there super trend scanner available in zerodha pi.

    • Akshay.A says:

      Manish, It is not possible to code Supertrend in Tradescript. If you are using Amibroker you can connect it to Pi and can use Super Trend Indicator AFL, or you can use Supertrend in KITE

  110. ZO2577 says:

    Dear Sir,
    In Zerodha PI, scanner is a very cool feature. I created two scanners for me adding about 100 stocks in each of them and then save them. But to my surprise , when I logged in again and open the list the saved scanner, the list got changed and one of my scanner was missing in the list and few others not created by me got added and this is happening again and again. Every time I logged in, the list of saved scanner got changed and I have to create the scanners again and adding stocks to them which is a very time consuming process.
    Why my scanners and list of saved scanner changed randomly every time logged in though I saved them.
    Can’t I saved my scanner permanently??

    • Akshay.A says:

      Hi The below link should help you saving a scanner.
      check this

      • ZO2577 says:

        Dear Akshay,
        I already followed all the steps given in the link. Unfortunately, it didn’t help.

    • ZO2577 says:

      Zerodha Team,
      Pls help.
      I think the the scanner saved by any user is visible globally to all the other users in the saved list of scanner and they can even delete it. Hence, every time I logged in, the list of scanner gets changed and even I can delete those saved scanners.
      This might be the case, I guess.

  111. H. R. Shah says:

    Iam completely new to AFL programming

    I would like to write code for signals indicating crossing of 5, 13, and 26 EMAs in “one point”. means all EMAs equal.

    If the EMAs rise upward (all EMA more than confluence value) and MACD (16, 6, 4) positive (macd>0) then buy signal. if EMAs fall downward (all EMA less than confluence value) and MACD (16, 6, 4) negative (macd<0) then sell signal.

    I want to back test following strategy. How we can do it automatically?

    On every positive crossover of 5 EMA & 26 EMA, I take call option of nearest strike price to spot price of near expiry the next day @ market open. Then I check every day at 3:15 if stop loss is trigger for the premium. SL triggered if premium drops below 25 %. If stop loss not triggered till expiry then I exit option @ 3:15 on expiry day.

    On every negative crossover of 5 EMA & 26 EMA, I take put option of nearest strike price to spot price of near expiry the next day @ market open. Then I check every day at 3:15 if stop loss is trigger for the premium. SL triggered if premium drops below 25 %. If stop loss not triggered till expiry then I exit option @ 3:15 on expiry day.

    I want to test this strategy for last 10 years for scripts Nifty, Banknifty, Reliance, LT & ICICIBANK.

    Let me know if it is possible.

    • Ah this will not be possible using tradescript. Maybe you can use a professional charting platform like AMibroker or if you have programming language you can check the API docs on kite.trade

  153. Kuldeep Mishra says:

    There is always too much difference between “Paper Trading” and “Actual Trading” and that’s why most of the new trader loose their hard earned money.

    So, we use Backtest.

    BUT there are 2 issues with Backtesting.

    1. It’s again like “Paper Trading” but on Automated Way.
    2. Every Trader is not a Programmer, so he can’t backtest his strategy.

    I just have a question. Can you not provide a “DEMO TRADING” on INDIAN LIVE MARKET (Stocks, Commodities and Currency) like “MT4 / MT5” Software provides us for FOREX so that a new trader could test his strategy on LIVE MARKET.

    Although it would again be somehow like “Paper Trading” but it would be more closer to “Actual Trading” psychologically.

    I don’t think, you can’t do it. Each trader that opens his account at zerodha, should have a DEMO TRADING ACCOUNT too, so that he could try his strategy without loosing his capital.

  177. Dear Nithin,
    Currently the bracket order screen takes only limit buy/sell orders. Could you please update to take also the market, SL and SL-M orders (during the first buy/sell)? This will be extremely useful and without this, it is a serious handicap and probably many other Zerodha traders feel the same way.
    Since you already have this in place in the normal buy/sell orders (F1/ F2), it should not be too difficult to activate this feature also for the bracket orders.
    Regards.

    • Venu says:

      You can place a market order by:
      a. Entering a higher price than what it’s trading at if its a Buy BO
      b. Entering a lower price than what it’s trading at if its a Sell BO

      Bracket order is a vendor developed product, so it’d be difficult to make changes to the inherent nature of the order for it to include SL & Sl-M entry types. Nonetheless, we’ll co-ordinate and see what best we can do.

      • I think you got it wrong 🙂

        For a buy order the limit price is the price at which / below which the stock will be bought. So, even if I enter a higher price, the stock will still be bought at the CMP if the CMP is lower than or equal to the limit price.

        Same thing applies for sell order.

        I want to buy only when the price reaches a particular value, at which my “buy-setup conditions” are fulfilled, and not at a lower price / higher price. This is currently not possible with the bracket order of Zerodha. I have to use the normal buy order (F1), but then I lose the advantages offered by the bracket order.

        With all humility, I don’t understand why it is difficult to incorporate this change. Bracket order is an extension of the normal buy / sell order, with additional features added. You already have the M / L / SL / SL-M options in a normal order. That means, the necessary macros / subroutines are already present in the software. You only have to activate that part of the programming loop in the bracket order function. Your software vendor should be able to do it in 1 day max. !!

        Come on Zerodha !! You can do it !! This is an opportunity to add one more feather in your cap.

    EMA(CLOSE,7)>EMA(CLOSE,21)*1.001

    • Venu says:

      In EA, 2 sell signals can get generated simultaneously but in Backtest, a buy signal is followed by a sell signal and vice versa. So if 2 sell signals get generated on EA, Backtest will show only the first sell signal and hence you see the difference.

    Hi,
    I have 2 queries.
    1) When are u going to start full automation on pi? Need it on urgent basis
    2) I need to backtest scrips/indices for 3-5 years? How can i do that

    Regards

    • 1. We will be releasing Pi bridge + very soon. If you are a programmer it will be quite simple. You can pull all info from trade updates to funds to third party program, and fire orders from there using sockets.
      2. You will have to buy it from a data vendor. Try asking neotradeanalytics.com. Mention your zerodha client ID, they will give u a discount.

    Please help me to write my strategy
    I want to get a buy signal only when the price is above 50 sma and the candle close above the 75% of its todays low. for example the price is above 50 sma. Todays low is 95 and high is 102. I want to get a buy signal if the candle close above 100.25
    Similarly I want to get a sell signal only when the price is below 50 sma and the candle close below the 74% of its todays high. For example the price is below 50 sma. Todays low is 95 and high is 102. I want to get a sell signal if the candle close below 96.75

    Nithinji , friday when i tried to place BO in petronet . order was rejected as client not enabled on product , then called customer care , they activated BO , after that also when placed order was rejected says “margin exceeded ,required margin 3 lakhs something and have only 2 lakhs something” like that, but i had enough margin in my a/c besides my other trades when i calculated in bo calculator it comes around 7000 , but for the same order i put SL and TSl for 95 paise , then only i saw in below 1 rupee SL or TSL cant put order.? does that order rejected becuase of that Sl. tsl?
    does minimum would be 1 re or 1.5 % ? and also one more query say if i place 4 lots at the time of placing BO and can modify in between to sell 2 lots for some gain and hold the remaing for EOD?Thanks in advance

  217. trader-001 says:

    I am backtesting simple strategies as a beginner, and the biggest problem I face is being whipsawed out in non-trending markets. Trend indicator like ADX are too late to respond and by then moves are over and I am stagnated again into sideways market. Please suggest some strategy/indicator to stay out of sideways market, and yet not lose the beginning of good moves.

    Sell Level = H-[ 0.5 * (H-L)]

  220. Bose says:

    Hi NIthin,
    This is my stragery, every sell signal and Exit Short works fine, its just that i am not getting any buy Signals although when I checked it on the Chart it should have given many buy signals.
    Please help me, TradingQandA though being a great website is very slow, Whereas your replies are brisk. Please tell me what is wrong with this code here on this page itself. I wrote the strategy myself yet something seems to be wrong with it.

    BUY Signal – WWS(CLOSE,5) > WWS(CLOSE,8) > EMA(CLOSE,40) > SMA(CLOSE,75) AND MACDSIGNAL (13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) > 0 AND AND DIP(14)>25 ADX(14) >28

    SELL Signal – WWS(CLOSE,5) < WWS(CLOSE,8) < EMA(CLOSE,40) < SMA(CLOSE,75) AND MACDSIGNAL (13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) 25 AND ADX(14) >28

    Exit Long – MACD(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) > MACDSIGNAL (13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) AND CLOSE < EMA(CLOSE,40) OR CLOSE < OPEN AND REF (CLOSE, 1) < REF(OPEN, 1) AND REF(CLOSE, 2) < REF(OPEN, 1)

    Exit Short – MACD(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) EMA(CLOSE,40) OR CLOSE > OPEN AND REF(CLOSE, 1) > REF(OPEN, 1) AND REF(CLOSE, 2) > REF(OPEN, 2)

    Please help me out, My script is almost done just a bit of correction from your end will do wonders.
    Again, Buy and Exit Long are not giving any signals.

    • Bose says:

      The above one had a few errors, if corrected them still the problem persists.

      Buy – WWS(CLOSE,5) > WWS(CLOSE,8) > EMA(CLOSE,40) > SMA(CLOSE,75) AND MACDSIGNAL (13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) 25 AND ADX(14) >28

      SELL – WWS(CLOSE,5) < WWS(CLOSE,8) < EMA(CLOSE,40) < SMA(CLOSE,75) AND MACDSIGNAL (13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) 25 AND ADX(14) >28

      Exit Long – MACD(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) > MACDSIGNAL (13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) AND CLOSE < EMA(CLOSE,40) OR CLOSE < OPEN AND REF (CLOSE, 1) < REF(OPEN, 1) AND REF(CLOSE, 2) < REF(OPEN, 1)

      Exit Short – MACD(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) EMA(CLOSE,40) OR CLOSE > OPEN AND REF(CLOSE, 1) > REF(OPEN, 1) AND REF(CLOSE, 2) > REF(OPEN, 2)

      Please look at this one.

  221. Bose says:

    Hi Nithin, I have posted the requirements on tradingq&a please ask someone to answer it

    Nithin,
    What i mean is i want to backtest the above code i.e Qudara strategy on Pi Backtest.
    I am a newbie and i dont really now anything about backtesting hence, i request you to type in the Buy,Sell,Exit long, Exit Short for the above script so that i can impute your wirtings on the Backtest tab and get it working.
    You can check out this link – http://www.trader-guide.com/quadra-safe-trading-strategy/
    This is what i am hoping to get as a backtesting script.
    Thank You. 😀

    • Bose says:

      Basically I want it to Buy when Wells Moving Avg WWMA – 5,8 and 13 crosses over EMA 50 and all the above crosses EMA 125. Plus MACD crosses 0 Positive.
      and sell when WWMA = 5,8 and 13 crosses below the EMA 50 which crosses the EMA 125 and MACD crosses 0 Negative.
      and if possible,
      Exit Long – if 5th candle closes below 4th Candle Close in conjunction
      Exit Short- if 5th Candle closes above 4th Candle High

      This is my first script pattern, please do share your opinion if i am doing something wrong.

      Thank you so much for your brisk replies.

    I am new to pi but I am not able to code my strategy I want to do intraday in nifty options. My strategy is to buy call/put 4 lots of nifty option in 1 min chart when EMA 5 crosses EMA 15 and sell it when reverse so how to write code in new alerts section in pi. there are four sections buy script,sell script,exit long script,exit short script but I dont know how to code it.

  225. CT says:

    Hi ,

    I have started using PI and it is really Good. I wanted to know if there is any way to generate a alert after nifty makes a upward or a downward movement of more than 10 points from the closing price of the previous candle on a one minute intraday chart. Also is it possible to view two candlestick charts on the same page like the index chart and the stock chart.

  226. manoj says:

    hi i’m new to pi trading platform and my query’s are
    1. i have some afl strategy’s of amibroker and can they be directly used in the pi trading platform by just copy and pasting which are in afl formats.
    2. if i make a strategy in pi software, can that be used in amibroker directly by copy pasting in the formula wizard.

    thank you

    • 1. No Manoj, you will have to recode them using tradescript. If you are using Ami, you can use the Pi bridge to fire alerts directly from Ami using the bridge. Check this.
      2. No, the programming language is different in Pi and Ami.

  230. AshishM says:

    Hi,

    had posted the query for coding a EA, which can be used to scan scripts in tradingqna.

    Strategy 1 : Give signal when,

    (a) Ehler Fisher transform reverses from top ie Trigger value becomes greater than signal value, AND

    (b) Elder bear power > 0, AND

    (c) Elder bear power > Elder Bull power

    Strategy 2 : Give signal when,

    (a) Ehler Fisher transform reverses from bottom ie Trigger value becomes less than signal value, AND

    (b) Elder Bull power > 0, AND

    (c) Elder Bull power > Elder Bear power

    Also, how to use the above strategies for scanning the selected scripts for a particular timeframe in Pi

    The feedback recd was that, it is not possible to code the following strategy in Pi. Am not able to understand that why cant an EA be created with indicators available in Pi. In fact, I wanted to try the strategy as mentioned above and also a strategy with only elements (a) & (b) in the strategies mentioned above being met and evaluate the results.

    Await feedback pl.

    • Ashish, I think I posted the answer already, preset codes for Elder is not available. If you can give the logic of elder bear power, that can be coded.

      • AshishM says:

        Nithin, am not sure what is being referred to by preset codes not available.
        In the strategy logic, had made reference to “Elder Ray Bull Power” , “Elder Ray Bear Power”, which is amongst the set of TA indicators available in Pi. The strategy is a combination of reversal of Ehler Fisher transform & checking for supporting values of Elder Ray Bear / Bull power indicator.

        • Yes Ashish, this is available as an indicator on Pi, but there is no tradescript code for it as such. For example there is EMA which is a preset code for Exponential moving average, similar to that there is preset code for Elder. You will have to build this code yourself. But I am checking it out with our team, will keep you posted.

          • AshishM says:

            Noted. Did not understand the technicals but got the logic of your explanation. If possible, pl do inform.

    Why I want the buy exit & sell exit is due to it opens new sell which is like & buy & sell order closed missed opportunity. This has to be in 5 Min Chart

    Why I want the buy exit & sell exit is due to it opens new sell which is like & buy & sell order closed missed opportunity. This has to be in 5 Min Chart

    Hi Nitin,

    In PI Go live to tested strategies are not getting executed even if i say go live it gives just an alert no execution no pop up.

    Hi Nithin,

    Is it better to use buy exit for buy calls instead of sell in the back test?

    Buy -> Buy exit OR Buy -> Sell

    For a same logic, same script, same time period, I got different back test results, for the above two scenarios, that’s why asking you.

    1. Kindly clarify the difference between these two — How the system treats these two.

    2. How the system evaluate the Trend inbuilt function — clarity is not there. Even the market is in trend, this function didn’t catch it. Since market trend is subjective (few points or few 10s of point etc) and Trend function is inbuilt, I couldn’t understand how it finds whether the market is up/down trend. I referred the user manual in Pi as well the links you shared — They are saying what this function does and they didn’t say how. Kindly clarify.

    Kindly code this strategy for me : This is strategy to buy/sell based on Camarilla Equation Levels: Buy When the price goes below L3 Level and then closes above it. Keeping L4 as Stop Loss and H1 as Target. SELL when price goes above H3 and closes below it keeping H4 as Stop Loss and L1 as Target. To calculate these levels use the following formula : To calculate Camarilla Pivot points all you need is previous trading day’s high low and close value. Below are the equations for calculation various levels.

    C = Previous day close

    H = Previous day high

    L = Previous day low

    H4 = [0.55*(H-L)] + C

    H3 = [0.275*(H-L)] + C

    H2 = [0.183*(H-L)] + C

    H1 = [0.0916*(H-L)] + C

    L1 = C – [0.0916*(H-L)]

    L2 = C – [0.183*(H-L)]

    L3 = C – [0.275*(H-L)]

    L4 = C – [0.55*(H-L)]

      We’ve just managed to get some answers from our strategy coders so here they are:

      1. EMA, ADX, RSI:
      Buy:
      (Ema(close, 5) > Ema(Close, 14)) and (Ref(Ema(Close, 5)), 1) > (Ref(Ema(Close, 14)), 1) and (ADX(14) > 30) and (RSI(Close, 14) >59)

      Exit:
      TR = Current High less the current Low – please relate this and define your logic.
      Modify the code of rsi, adx and ema for rest of your logic.

      You would have to use the Nest Pulse guide to get more detailed instructions on coding your strategy.

    hi Nitin,

    There is a strategy which works superbly in 1 min Chart. It would be grateful if I can get the code.

    Stochastic momentum Index :

    Default Values:

    %K periods=13
    %K smooth=25
    %K Dbl smooth=2
    %D periods=9
    MA type=Exponential
    %D MA type=Exponential

    Strategy:
    Buy: When %K cuts %D upwards
    Sell: Vice versa

    even if it is little bit difficult to code, it is really worth to spend time on this.

    Nithin,

    Where can I get a complete reference documentation of the Scripting language used?

    Are you using the same in the new platform ?

    There is a problem with the script entry form – The text boxes should be provided with Horizontal and vertical scrollbars (2) pressing “enter” button should actually go to the next line. Now it is doing something else.

    Hope you can take care of the above.

  267. agsuresh says:

    Hi Nithin,

    I tried coding a few strategy.

    Here is the code

    SET BLOW1 = BBB(CLOSE, 14, 2, SIMPLE)
    SET BLOW2 = BLOW1 * 0.15 / 100
    SET BLOW3 = BLOW2 * 1
    SET BLOW4 = BLOW1 – BLOW3
    SET M1 = MACD(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)
    SET MS1= MACDSIGNAL(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)

    (CLOSE MS1)
    AND RSI(CLOSE,14) <30)

    The problem is It just ignores the conditions 2nd and 3rd and executes the code on the first condition only ( in this case close MS1)
    AND CLOSE<=BLOW4
    AND RSI(CLOSE,14) ms1) ignoring the other 2

    what could be the issue and how can this resolved?

    Hello Nithin, I have question based on following scenario which i have practically tested. After introducing the bracket order, trades are automatically getting (target)square off or stopped out (stop-loss) but signals are not getting generated properly. I have Buy and Sell expression in script but Buy Exit and Sell exit is 0. So once Buy alert is generated (Assuming I acted on it as Bracket order and that order completed with target Sell) on next script is waiting to generate the ONLY Sell signal and so on . In short ideally, If script sees consecutive BUY or SELL signals, it should be acted upon.

    Hello Nithin, Am facing problems with backtesting of my Strategies. It gives pretty inaccurate results more probably because it considers closing/opening value of the Stock/ Futures as 0. I often get results where in largest Profit/Loss in Nifty is 8000+ which we know is not possible. I tried applying different strategies and on different stocks. But the results are same not always but more then often. This is making me wonder about the accuracy of the backtest results. Is it technical error only on my end or is known issue with Nest Trader?

    Hello Nithin,What is the code for creating a backtesting based on RSI,Suppose for Reliance I want to do backtesting based on RSI such that It should give buy signal when RSI is less than 30 and Sell Signal when RSI is >70. Can you please suggest me the coding for this strategy

  289. DM0121 says:

    Please Help to code my strategy:
    Buy Signal:
    Condition 1: Previous Candle Close > 34 Ema
    Condition 2: Previous Candle Close > PSAR
    Condition 3: Initiate buy 2 points higher than highest high of last 7 candles

    Buy Exit Signal : MACD (12,9,26) Negative crossover at close (Avg Period 12 EMA, Short Period 9 EMA, Long Period 26 EMA)

    For Sale: Exact opposite of buy

    • Buy:

      Ref(close, 1) > ema(close, 34)
      Ref(close, 1) > (PSAR(CLOSE, 0.02, 0.2))
      (Close + 2) = (MAXOF(REF(HIGH, 1), REF(HIGH, 2), REF(HIGH, 3), REF(HIGH, 4), REF(HIGH, 5), REF(HIGH, 6), REF(HIGH, 7)))

      Buy Exit:
      Negative crossover at close – please provide more details.

      Sell:
      Ref(close, 1) < ema(close, 34) Ref(close, 1) < (PSAR(CLOSE, 0.02, 0.2)) (Close - 2) = (MAXOF(REF(HIGH, 1), REF(HIGH, 2), REF(HIGH, 3), REF(HIGH, 4), REF(HIGH, 5), REF(HIGH, 6), REF(HIGH, 7)))

    Hello Nithin, I need a strategy that don’t buy if the target is beyond the max of the day, like I have a target of 100 points but i avoid the entrance if the maximum of the day is less than 100 points of the entrance, at 5 minutes.

    • You have to be a little more clear about this, Can you clearly define when you want to enter and when you want to exit?

      • Guilherme says:

        Sure Nithin sorry about that. I already have a strategy… and I just need only to add in my strategy a condition to prevent entry if the target is above the high of the day (IF BUY) or below the minimum of the day (IF SELL). My strategy is at 5 minutes candles.

        • Guilherme says:

          HighestHighValue(Periods). HHV(Periods)
          HIGH = HHV(21)
          LOW = LLV(21)
          How can I change the 21 periods to all the periods of the intraday 5 minutes candle?

          • HHV:

            ((MAXOF(REF(HIGH, 2), REF(HIGH, 3))) > CLOSE)

            To find out hhv or llv, Maxof and Minof can be used. To consider the candles, use Ref 1, ref 2 and so on ……

            · How can I change the 21: Ref 1 … Ref 21 needs to be used, current candle will be ignored.

    helo sir,

    i wish to have if you develop a algo base system based on the following details,

    1) period (variable)

    2) when the 5 EMA line goes up a certain value (variable, which i must be able to change) units from the crossing of 5 and 14 ema, BUY immediately AND EXIT AT THE END OF THE PERIOD.)(close of the candle)

    3) when the 5 EMA line goes down a certain value (variable)from the crossing of 5 and 14 EMA line, SELL immediately AND EXIT AT THE END OF THE PERIOD.(close of the candle)

  293. Devendra says:

    Dear Nithin,

    I use EMA 15 and EMA 25.

    I have written Strategy 1/ Script 1 as follows :
    Buy Expression : CROSSOVER(EMA(CLOSE, 15), EMA(CLOSE, 25))
    Sell Expression : CROSSOVER(EMA(CLOSE, 25), EMA(CLOSE, 15))

    Strategy 2 / Script 2 is as follows :
    Buy Expression : EMA(CLOSE,15) > EMA(CLOSE,25)
    Sell Expression : EMA(CLOSE,15) < EMA(CLOSE,25)

    I was surprised to see both giving different results
    when backetsted (on any Symbol / Instrument).

    IF Both Code means same and are correct
    why it gives different results ?

    Pl. Help

    Thanks in Advance

    ———————————-
    Also suggest Buy and Sell Expression
    for following :

    Buy When Green Candle Breaks / Crosses EMA 20 and PSAR is below EMA20
    Sell When Red Candle Breaks / Crosses EMA 20 and PSAR is above EMA20

    Thanks in Advance

    • 1. Both shoul work in the same way. Can you send an email to [email protected], he will try reinstalling the pulse dll.

      2. Buy When Green Candle Breaks / Crosses EMA 20 and PSAR is below EMA20
      Sell When Red Candle Breaks / Crosses EMA 20 and PSAR is above EMA20

      – (Close > open) and (close > ema(Close, 20)) and (Ema(close, 20) > (PSAR(CLOSE, 0.02, 0.2)))

      – (Close < open) and (close > ema(Close, 20)) and (Ema(close, 20) < (PSAR(CLOSE, 0.02, 0.2)))

      • buchi says:

        You are doin a nice work.thanks.please can you help me code this:
        CCi(20,close) crosses above zero line,open buy and when cci(14,close) crosses below zero line,open sell.
        when cci(20,typical price) crosses above zero line,close sell.when cci(20,typical price) opens below zero line,close buy.

  299. Sibi Chakravarthy says:

    Hi Nithin,
    Sorry for the long read. Please read carefully 🙂
    My algo is like this..

    Buy:some expression
    Buy exit:0
    Sell:some expression
    Sell exit:0

    So the algo generates alternate buy and sell signals

    alone.

    Once a buy signal occurs, and pressing “act on call”,
    a buy order would be placed right.

    After some time, a sell signal occurs.
    Now, as per algo logic, two sell orders should be

    placed.
    1)A sell order which closes the current position.
    2)A second sell order to initiate a short position.

    Here are my questions:
    1)Will two such sell orders be placed if I take my

    algo live?
    2)On backtesting, I get results mentioning total no.

    of trades etc etc…does this include the 2 orders

    being placed for every successive signal/call?

    THANKS

    YOURS FAITHFULLY

    RADHEY

    • Don’t think it is possible in the way u have written, will need a lot more specifics for this. What I’d suggest is to run through basic codes and examples in this page, and then give it a shot yourself. If you are having trouble then, you can post your queries here.

  304. newbie says:

    dear Nithin, kindly help me with this to put in algoz :- UPTREND RULES:
    Stochastic %D (14,3) > 50

    RSI (7) > 50

    MACD > Zero Line > Signal Line (9 period)

    DOWNTREND RULES:
    Stochastic D (14, 3) < 50

    RSI (7) < 50

    MACD < Zero Line < Signal Line (9 period)
    Also if u can suggest a great for buy exit and sell exit

    and when going live there is an option call stoploss in % , the stoploss % is suppose buy stock of rs 545 and keep stop of 1% then the stop loss will get triggered at 539.60? irrespective of the quantity i have bought? or stop loss is based on 1 % total value of holdings?

    • newbie says:

      sorry typing errors correction -this simple strategy can u code for me, I am also zerodha client
      BUY-when RSI(14) goes below 30 and rises above 35 then buy with stoploss of RSI(14) 60
      SELL-when RSI(14) goes above 70 and then comes to 65
      SELL STOPLOSS- RSI(14)>75
      SELL EXIT-RSI(14)<40

  306. Manas says:

    Can u please forward my mail to stratagy coder of your team:

    I have 2 strategies, both are very simple but as a novoice, I can’t code it:

    1) Based on 5SMA System:

    SAR = Mean value of Previous 4 Days Close

    Buy if 5 Min Candle Close Price goes above SAR value from below (Entry with 5 Lots)

    Sell if 5 Min Candle Close Price goes Below SAR Value from above (Entry with 5 Lots)

    Target : 50 Points from SAR value (for 2 Lots)
    75 Points from SAR value (for 1 Lot)
    100 Points from SAR value (for 1 Lot)
    Till Sell Signal Arise (Fore 1 Lot)

    SL @ 25 Points from SAR Value in Opposite direction

    2) Based on 3 day High Low Strategy (Breakout Strategy)

    Buy if 5 Min Candle Close Price goes above High of Previous 3 Days, SL @ Lowest of the low of 2 Days

    Sell if 5 Min Candle Close Price goes below low of Previous 3 Days, SL @ Highestt of the High of 2 Days

    Targets: 50 Points from Entry

    Hi Nithin,
    great effort by you and your team.
    want to code a strategy for bollinger bands volatility breakout in conjunction with MACD Crossover.

    Settings:
    Bollinger Bands : 20, 2
    MACD : 12, 26,9 EMA period

    The upper band and lower band tighten around the price.

    When the bands expand and break up on the upper band with MACD signal line crossing up then BUY.

    Similarly when the bands breakdown on the lower band with MACD signal line crossing below then Sell.

    Stop Loss : low of the previous candle.

    Exit : when the price falls when long and rises when short by 5 points of the last close.

    Thanks.

    • (CLOSE > BBT(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL))

      (CLOSE > BBB(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL))

      (MACDSignal(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL))

      (MACD(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL))

      The upper band and lower band tighten around the price.

      · Please define this more.

      Buy:

      (BBT(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL)) > (BBB(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL)) and (MACDSignal(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL)) > (MACD(13, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL))

      Sell:

      · The stop loss cannot be exactly define in expression window, instead, cover order can be used when going live.

      · Sell logic is not clear to code. Please elaborate more.

        HI Nithin, Is there any limit on scripts you can go live, I mean I am planning to implement my strategy on all futures script is it possible…..?????

        • It would have to do with your system’s computational speed, but in the present system you can’t really take more than 5 to 6 charts live at one time and hence can’t run strategies on more than 6 scrips at a time. Our new platform Pi will give you a lot more flexibility here, we should be launching this soon.

    Hello Nithin,

    Would like to know how to set up the Greek Market Watch settings in Nest Trader?

    • Hanan says:

      The Market Watch Greek settings can be setup by the following method:
      1. Press Ctrl + P and go to Preferences > Market Watch. Select the tick box which says “Greeks in Market Watch”
      2. Right click on any Option scrip and choose Option Greeks > Make Greek Settings.
      3. Set it up and choose Reflect to All.

      This works inconsistently and I’d rather you use the Option Calculator to calculate Greeks.

    Hi.

    There is something terribly wrong with the backtesting engine.
    I have the following rule for buy

    set T = close-open
    set solid = if(T>0,T,-T)
    set shadow = high – low
    set color = if(T>0,1,-1)
    shadow>5*solid AND REf(color,1)=-1 AND REF(SOLID,1)>3*SOLID AND RSI(CLOSE,9)50

    Please suggest some solution urgently as it is impossible to trade based on such faulty system.

  312. nath says:

    Hi,
    For backtesting purpose , I am not sure when exactly the buy signal gets triggered based on a condition.
    to elaborate lets say I have a strategy buy when ‘close>open’. This signal will be true at any day end. So will the buy signal come at next day’s open.

    I ask this becoz I can see a backtest result where long positions are being made at close price of a day

    on the same line,

    lets say I have a strategy where I buy if previous day is doji, the day before that is not a doji and a red bar

    set T = close-open
    set solid = if(T>0,T,-T)
    set shadow = high – low
    set color = if(T>0,1,-1)
    shadow>5*solid AND REf(color,1)=-1 AND REF(SOLID,1)>3*SOLID

    Does the code above serves the purpose?

    Backtest results show trade done only for the 1st condition. whatever code i use for the 2nd part, it just gets ignored.

    Hello Nithin,

    Just one query..Why can’t Zerodha provide simulated trading for Equity/ Futures & Options. This facility is not provided by none of the broking firms in India, but its provided by most of the foreign broking firms. I would like to bring to your notice to introduce this facility so that it will be of great use for all the traders both beginners and experts to practice their trading skills in real time markets. This will enable them to learn from their errs and thus leading them to professional traders.Even though the NSE has come up with NSE pathshala with its simulated environment but its has a junk of errs which i don’t recommend to anybody at all. Just would love to get an ans from Nithin.

  318. Hi, how do I code for the following strategy for Bank Nifty? (or for that matter Nifty or any equity / future)

    – Buy if it crosses high of the previous day.
    – Sell if it goes below low of the previous day.
    – Assume an average range of 2% daily, have a stop loss of 0.16*2% around 40 points for both buy and sell.
    – Target of 150 points for intra day for square off or at stop loss or at rate at closing for the day.

    Hi Nithin,

    I am trying to code this strategy, but i don’t know what part of it is wrong. Can you please find the mistake,
    It is for Bullish markets:-
    Buy- The price must be greater than 50 EMA, new crossover of 3 EMA over 5 EMA.
    Buy Exit- Crossover of 3 EMA under 5 EMA.

    Code:-
    Buy-CLOSE>EMA(Close,50) AND CROSSOVER(EMA(CLOSE, 3),EMA(CLOSE, 5))
    Buy Exit-CROSSOVER(EMA(CLOSE, 5), EMA(CLOSE, 3))
    Sell-0

    • Can you define what is slopes upwards/downwards? can you also tell how many candle MACD?

      • Ramickey says:

        all 5 minute candles.

        I don’t have the technical knowledge to explain slope. What I meant was if the slope is +ve it is upwards and -ve for downwards.
        If my query is still not clear, then modify it such that 5 min candle > 20 min EMA instead of Slope upward
        And where i mentioned downward, put 5 min EMA<20 min EMA

        • Buy:

          1) 5 Min EMA slopes upwards

          (Trend(Ema(close, 14))) = up

          2) MACD gives a bullish crossover

          ((Trend(MACDSignal(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE))) = up) and ((Trend(MACD(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE))) = Up)

          3) 5 EMA should be abve 20 EMA line

          Ema(close, 5) > Ema(Close, 20)

          4) 5 min candle closes above 20 EMA line

          Close > Ema(Close, 20)

          5) Stochastics between 20 and 80 [%K Period 5, %K Slowing 3, %D Period 3]

          SOPK(9, 3, 9, SIMPLE) > 80 OR SOPD(9, 3, 9, SIMPLE) > 80

  326. radhey says:

    I m desirous to code my strategy……how to do that pls help

  327. David says:

    I understand pivot as the center point, for coding pivot high is: the previous candle(n-1) is higher than the present candle(n) then we check if (n-2)candle is higher than (n-1)candle, likewise we keep on checking until we get a condition where the (n-3) is higher than (n-4) candle then the high of the n-3 candles high is considered as our pivot high.

  328. chirag007 says:

    can you publish function signature of all the indicators available in algoz?

  329. David says:

    Hi Nithin,

    How should I write the code to generate a buy signal when previous pivot high is taken out by present price.(not previous candle, I want for previous pivot high).

    Hello Zerodha,

    I have problems with the backtesting. My buy expression and buy exit expression both have two conditions.
    When backtesting I see only the first condition is satisfied in the triggered orders.

    My Buy expression is:

    SET SMA25 = SMA(CLOSE, 25)
    SET SMA50 = SMA(CLOSE, 50)

    SET C1 = CLOSE > SMA25
    SET C2 = SMA25 < SMA50

    C1 AND C2

    My Buy-Exit expression is:

    SET SMA25 = SMA(CLOSE, 25)
    SET SMA50 = SMA(CLOSE, 50)

    SET C1 = CLOSE SMA50
    C1 AND C2

    If I interchange the conditions (i.e. C2 AND C1) then only C2 is satisfied in the resulted orders.

    I tried with other conditions (OR, XOR). The second condition is not at all used.

    Is the backtesting broken? I have not tested in LIVE. Will LIVE also have the same problems?

    BTW; I am running ZT 3.11 and Nest plugin 2.8.

    Thanks,
    Kars.

      CRAP!!!

      I removed zt and nest-plus installs completly. Then installed only the 3.11 zerodha trader and not the plugin. Now the backtest is fine.

      If the backtest had time limits, square off at 3.20, and if it tested both shorting and buy exiting at the same candle, I will be really, really happy.

      The software we (retail traders) got stuck with in india seems to be deliberately designed to play psychological games and push us to lose money. 🙁 Good thing is, with Zerodha, we are getting much better… 🙂

      Thanks,
      Kars.

        Hi,
        I am also facing similar issues with backtesting. It is omitting certain conditions.
        I read your suggestions and need some clarification.

        If i uninstall both ZT and the Nest Pulse plugin and the reinstall ZT will I get the plugin options . If not , then how will we write the strategies.

    Hello Nithin,

    I have been using your NestTrader trading platform for over 3 months. Since I’m not able to open 3 ID’s live account at the same time in the NestTrader only one of the account i open through your Z5 web trading portal. While using the Z5 i have noticed the following big errors which i would kindly like to share with you all.

    1. Live spot rate of Nifty and Sensex are totally incorrect.
    2. Not able to save the Market Watch Settings.
    3. A facility should be added to increase the font size of the market watch. Right now the alphabets are very small which keep strain on the eyes.

    I hope you will look to the above issue and get it solved at the earliest.

    Thanking You,

    Try this:

    BUY:rsi(close,14)>80 AND (MACD(13, 26, 9,EXPONENTIAL) > MACDSignal(13,26, 9, EXPONENTIAL))
    Buy exit alert : (MACD(13, 26, 9,EXPONENTIAL) < MACDSignal(13,26, 9, EXPONENTIAL))

    I have tested it , and it works.

  336. akshay says:

    Hi milind

    In algoz to access previous bars we use ref(vector,period) and the periods are positive unlike amibroker.
    For cci you also have to mention type of moving average cci(periods,MAtype)

    So your code will be
    buy : CLOSE>REF(SMA(HIGH,6),4) AND CCI(35,simple)>35
    sell : CLOSE<REF(SMA(LOW,6),4) AND CCI(35,simple)<35

  337. Varun says:

    I have backtested the strategy and my observation is that AND operation is not happening (intentionally taken high RSI to check the backtest) :

    Buy alert : (MACD(13, 26, 9,EXPONENTIAL) > MACDSignal(13,26, 9, EXPONENTIAL)) AND (Rsi(Close, 14) > 80)

    Buy exit alert : (MACD(13, 26, 9,EXPONENTIAL) < MACDSignal(13,26, 9, EXPONENTIAL))

    Please let me know, if anything wrong with expression ???

  342. Akshay says:

    hi soumyajit

    You need to confirm whether you want crossover or greater, because both functions work differently. I think you want to use crossover. To understand this further you can go to the following link:
    http://tradingqna.com/293/difference-between-crossover-functions-automated-trading

    So using crossover this is how your strategy will be:
    BUY: crossover(EMA(CLOSE,5),SMA(CLOSE,10))
    SELL: crossover(SMA(CLOSE,10),EMA(CLOSE,5))

  343. Soumyajit says:

    Hi Nithin,

    I have been facing some problems in the ZT alogz.

    I have coded a strategy

    BUY: EMA(CLOSE,5)>SMA(CLOSE,10)
    SELL: EMA(CLOSE,5)<SMA(CLOSE,10)
    I have back tested it and it works fine. But while running it live today i found false calls generated. I have set the interval at 5 mins and i was following the chart, i found that there was no crossover but still a call was generated. And in another case there was a crossover and no calls have been generated.

  345. Nithinji,

    greetings for the day.

    Could you pls provide the coding for the 2 simple strategies stated below on a one minute candle.
    I intend to use it in calls/puts intraday trades.
    Would also be very grateful if you could advice – of course without any risk and responsibility at your end – for any suitable modification(s)/addition to this strategy:

    Strategy-1:
    Buy: if the upward trending RSI has crossed the 50 level AND the upward trending price-ROC is above zero
    level
    Sell: RSI is reversing OR the price-ROC is reversing.

    Strategy-2:
    Buy: when the upward trending 5 period EMA crosses the 15 period EMA.
    Sell : when the downward trending 5 period EMA crosses the 15 period EMA.

    thanks in advance,

    Shailender .

    • Buy signal:

      Trend(RSI(close,14))=up and crossover(rsi(close,14),50) and
      Trend(PROC(close,14))=UP and PROC(close,14)>0

      Sell Signal:
      # Assuming that by reversing the user means trend is down.

      Trend(RSI(close,14))=Down or Trend(PROC(close,14))=Down

      Strategy 2
      Buy:
      Trend(ema(close,5))=up and crossover(ema(close,5),ema(close,15))
      Sell:
      Trend(ema(close,5))=Down and crossover(ema(close,15),ema(close,5))

    2 i have some code in VB.net , can i subscribe for pulse API from somewhere
    thanks

    • Arti,

      The cost of automating through API is pretty restrictive, check this

      I’d suggest you to see if it is possible on Pulse, will get someone on our tech team to call you up regarding the login issue. Check this section

      Our new trading platform that we are working on, has advance coding/backtesting capability.

    Entry for Long:

    Note down previous day’s High price and after market opens today, wait for the price to breakout yesterday’s high and when broken check if Today’s Open = Today’s Low at that time, if Yes go long with Stop loss as today’s Low price.

    Entry for Short

    Note down previous day’s Low price and after market opens today, wait for the price to breakdown yesterday’s low and when broken check if Today’s Open = Today’s High at that time, if Yes go Short with Stop loss as today’s High price.

    Dear Nithin Kamath,

    I’m a new client (RS:2849) who have been trying to learn the features in the Nest Trader for about three weeks. But during the process of my study I found lot’s of features which are provided by some international brokers are not there in the Nest Trader software which is provided by Omnesys. If this features can be included in the new trading software then I can really assure this is going to be the fantastic software which we can get in India. The following are the features which I’m just listing below:-

    1. Click based market execution order. This helps the trader in entering into the trade more faster at the price foreseen by him. Order placing using the keyboard takes more time and has now become outdated.
    2. Java based charting software which contains tick by tick, 1M, 15M, 1H, 4H & Day, Weekly & Monthly charts ( M-> Minutes & H-> Hour)
    3. Tools such as Cursor, Crosshair, Vertical Line, Horizontal Line & Trend Line can be included.
    4. Various types of charts such as Line, OHLC, Candle sticks etc can be put in the tools list so that the user can view the graph as per his requirement within a milli second.
    5. Including a concept called Expert Advisors and Strategy Tester. This is the same concept like Algo Z in the Nest Trader. This facility is now there in the Metatrader software .

    The thing which is coming to my mind is why can’t Zerodha have a tie up with the Metatrader or Amibroker. Since now most of the international brokers are giving this Meta Trader software free for their clients so that they can take better decisions when it comes to live trading. If the trading software is professional its generally a win win situation for the Broking institutions like Zerodha and even for the client too since you get high volume trading with better accuracy.

    Right now the trading software which is provided but the Omnesys people are not up to the mark. It’s not a professional software for the trading community as a whole. Even there is a problem the Omnesys guys are very slow in responding its seems like they are running a government institution.
    Anyway there is still scope for huge improvement. I hope Nithin Kamath and his team of professionals will take this note and bring in with a new professional trading software which will be the benchmark trading software so that everyone can lookup to you guys thus bringing in a new young class of professionals into trading.

    So all the best to you and to your team.

    With Regards,

    K.S.JOSEPH

    HI nithin,

    Regrads
    Sharan

    • Sharan,

      Presently, this doesn’t work on MCX. There are a bunch of strategies on this blog post, you can backtest and see how it works. The thing about strategies is, it has to constantly evolve, so it is best if you learn it yourself.

  351. kam.tngr says:

    Hi Nithin,
    By when will the next version be released that will allow 10 months data for intraday and historical for backtest?

    Until it is released is there a way that we can get the backtesting done for larger period?

    Apart from 10 months data for intraday, do you plan to introduce any paid feature wherein users of AlgoZ can access the entire data without any limitation?

    • Yes Kam,

      The new platform will come with advanced backtesting features, and an ability to be able to backtest on intraday data for upto 4 years. This will be all available for free. 🙂

    I want to place SL buy above the high of 11:00 AM 30-Min bar and SL sell below the low of 11:00 AM 30-Min bar, when Long or Short entered the pending SL order should become Stop Loss for the executed order. Take profit is optional if no take profit mentioned the order should get closed at 3:29 PM.

    Hi Nithin, I need one help i have Amibroker software and signaling code. the same code i would like to add to Zerodha ZT is it possible.? and also i dont know the code what is it. but it giving good signals as well as Stop Loss.

    2. What is the difference between Amibroker and Zerodha ZT software, both are giving signals na..?

    • Sharan,

      1. Depends on the complexity of the code, algoZ on ZT can’t presently handle complex codes. But you will have to tell us what it is to be able to code.

      2. Yes in terms of signals ami and ZT are similar, but ami is much more advanced. We should be launching our new platform in the next 2 months, which along with being able to trade, would also be able to match ami in terms of charting and coding.

      • sharan says:

        Thank you nithin. present ZT can we put auto SL with respect to the order generation.? is it possible all 3 items(buy, target and sl) make it auto mode.?

  357. Aditya says:

    Hi, Just wanted to verify – What data does the chart show as 1 year historical data for any future contract ?
    For NIFTY14MARFUT contract I can see historical data starting from Feb2013, time at which this contract did not exist.
    Does it pull out data from all near term contracts for any given month to show this data ?

    • Aditya,

      Historical charts for futures are usually smoothed to make it look like a continuous chart. So for example at the end of Nifty FEB futures, it will automatically merge into Nifty Mar Futures. Hopefully I didn’t confuse you too much.

      • Aditya says:

        Hi Nithin, Thanks for the reply. No that’s how one would expect it to be.

    Hello Nithin Kamath,

    Based of the 5 min chart I want to

    Buy: When LAST>EMA(CLOSE,14) AND MACD > -3.60 and SELL: When LAST<EMA(CLOSE,14) AND MACD < 14.48

    Please do help me in figuring the correct code.

    With Regards,

    K.S.Joseph

    • Joseph,

      The code would be

      Buy: Last>EMA(Close,14) AND MACDSignal(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)>-3.60
      Sell: Last

      • Mak_T says:

        But what ensures 5 Min TF in this case? I mean, if somebody wants to use same strategy on some odd TF say 71 min TF, how this difference in TF reflected while coding?

        Regards,
        Mak_T

        • Mak,

          The code remains the same irrespective of the time frame. When you are backtesting if you backtest on 5 minTF it backtests based on that, and if you backtest on 10 min TF it adapts automatically. Similarly when you go live on a strategy, you get alerts based on what time frame you take the strategy live on.

          Hope this clarifies

    Hello Nitin,

    I am just new to trading and was just trying to learn and create strategies. The idea of my strategy is just
    Buying the scrip when all the conditions are satisfied: When the CMP (Current Market Price) > EMA.(Period 14) + MACD upward cross + RSI should be above 65. Now just check my formula

    BUY = CMP>EMA(CLOSE,14) AND MACD(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL)>MACDSIGNAL(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI(CLOSE,14)<35

    SELL = CMP<EMA(CLOSE,14) AND MACD(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL)65

    BUY EXIT = 0, SELL EXIT = 0

    Just see if this is the right code which i have written or if not please advice me the correct code

    • CMP (Current Market Price) > EMA.(Period 14) + MACD upward cross + RSI should be above 65. Now just check my formula

      Buy: (Last > Ema(Close, 14)) and (Rsi(Close, 14) > 35) and MACD(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL) > MACDSIGNAL(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL)

      Sell: (Last < Ema(Close, 14)) and (Rsi(Close, 14) > 65)

    Setup

    1). Timeframe : 5min chart
    2). EMA : 110 period
    3). CCI : 14 days

    Why EMA 110? To be frank no idea but when tested proved with results to guage the TREND!

    RULE

    BUY / GO LONG CONDITION

    a). The 5 min candle should be cut and close above 110 EMA.
    b). CCI should be > 100. We consider CCI reading only for ENTRY not for EXIT. This CCI will act as a FILTER to avoid false Traps
    c). A entry at 0.10% of the High price of the candle that cut and closed above 110 EMA

    ADDITIONAL ADD::

    1. increased the filter from 0.1% to 0.15%

    2. trading starts only after the 8th candle for the day

    3. CCI has to be more than 115

    4. last trade should be the 3 o clock candle . No trades after that

    5. Trading decision is taken with 3 candles . First candle is the one which has crossed over the 110 period MA with atleast a diffference of 0.5 from the 110 EMA . Also tail/head shadow should not be more than 2 times the body of the candle . Color doesn’t matter. you place an order which is 0.15% more/less than the high /low of the first candle ( cross over candle ) . If it doesn’t get executed , we wait for the first 3 minutes of the next candle ,if not the order is cancelled .
    6. If the cross over candle is a doji i change the sl to 7.5

    LT gave relatively poor results . All banking stocks and Maruti give good results if he rules are followed

    SELL / GO SHORT CONDITION

    a). The 5 min candle should cut and close below 110 EMA.
    b). CCI should be < -100. We consider CCI reading only for ENTRY and not for EXIT. This CCI will act as a FILTER to avoid false Traps
    c). A entry at 0.10% of the Low price of the candle that cut and closed below 110 EMA.

        Hello Nitin

        How are you ? Hope you are doing good.

        I am here again to clear some of my doubts i hope you can do that.

        1) if i have 50 stocks in my market watch and i want to apply EA to all 50 Stock at a time , how can i do that ?

        2) how can i generate a EA for a stocking have more buyers then sellers ?

        I asked this to support team but they were not able to find any solution for this, kindly please you tell me the answer for this.

        Waiting for your reply

        Thank you
        Keep smiling 😉

        • Hey Piyush,
          1. To apply an EA, you need to have a chart opened. So to apply EA’s on 50 stocks, you need 50 charts to be opened, which is currently not possible. You can currently apply EA for upto 8 stocks by opening 8 different charts. But you can have multiple EA’s applied on every chart.
          2. There is no way to capture total number of buyers/sellers in the tradescript code.

      When you take the strategy live, you have an option to set interval as 5mins and evaluate as tick.

      Exit condition can’t be Rs10/min, exit has to be a strategy itself, because the code won’t capture the buying/selling price.

    Could you please let me know if this can be coded.
    Step 1:

    If 4 points gain then close position if not go to step 2
    Step 2:
    if 2 points loss then buy 2 more shares at 98.00, this step continues whenever there is a 2 points loss and the order quantity doubles for every level it goes down (ex: buy 2 at 98, buy 4 at 96, buy 8 at 94..)
    Exit:
    Close all the positions whenever the point goes up 4 points from the last bought level (let’s say the current price is 96 then it has to close all positions if the point reaches 100), and continue to step 1.

      -> Nest Pulse allows LIMIT order only.

      -> Nest Pulse will not capture the buy/sell price. When the cover order/sl is used, then it calculates based on the buy/sell trigger price. So the 2nd point can be defined using this. Here you are specifying based on the trigger price %age.

      -> To have stop and reversal, use your logic in buy alert expression and sell alert expression fields. Split is not possible through pulse, instead you can have different exit strategies.

    • Hanan says:

      Hi, here’s your answer.

      Here are the Algo Z codes based on client’s logic:

      Indicator 21 Simple Moving Average.

      – Sma(Close, 21)

      Profit target 21 points

      – Pulse/ AlgoZ doesn’t capture the buy/sell price to define 21 points from buy/sell.

      Stop Loss 9 points

      – You can use cover order feature of Pulse/ AlgoZ. It calculates based on the buy/sell trigger price. it is defined in terms of %age.

      Trailing stop loss Once the position is in profit by 13 points, 9 points trailing stop loss.

      Please check if you have bracket order role, if yes, then you can define and profit booking as well as sl.

      Buy:
      When a candle closes above the 21 SMA, buy when the peak price of this candle is breached by 3 points.

      – Close > Sma(close, 21)

      – (Ref(High, 1) + 3) < Close * This point is not so clear. - (Ref(High, 1) + 3) < Close. This compares the previous bar's high with the current one. If the successive candles high is less than 3 points, the entry point is when the price breaches the highest of the preceding candles since signal, by 3 points. - Pulse/ AlgoZ doesn't capture the buy/sell price. (CLOSE > (MAXOF(REF (HIGH, 1), REF (HIGH, 2))))

      * Compares with the current/close.

      Sell:

      At profit target of 21 points or a trailing stop loss of 9 points once the profit is 13 points.

      – Please check if you have bracket order role, if yes, then you can define and profit booking as well as sl.
      Or exit when the signal is reversed.

      – Close < Sma(close, 21) - (Ref(High, 1) + 3) > Close

      Re entry

      Once position is closed re-enter if the trend continues and the prices breaches the high of a candle when position was closed by 3 points.

      – Pulse/ AlgoZ doesn’t capture the buy/sell price.

      (CLOSE > (MAXOF(REF (HIGH, 1), REF (HIGH, 2))))

      * Compares with the current/close.
      Short:

      When a candle closes below the 21 SMA, short when the low of this candle is breached by 3 points.

      – Close , Sma(close, 21)

      – (Ref(High, 1) + 3) < Close * This point is not so clear. - (Ref(High, 1) + 3) < Close. This compares the previous bar's high with the current one. If the successive candles low is less than 3 points, the entry point is when the price breaches the lowest of the precedding candles since signal, by 3 points. - Pulse/ AlgoZ doesn't capture the buy/sell price. - (Ref(Low, 1) + 3) < Close Cover At profit target of 21 points or a trailing stop loss of 9 points once the profit is 13 points Or exit when the signal is reversed. Once position is closed re-enter if the trend continues and the prices breaches the low of a candle when position was closed by 3 points. - Please check if you have bracket order role, if yes, then you can define and profit booking as well as sl. * Please back test the strategies before applying live to assess the performance. Please revert to us in case you need further assistance.

    Indicators:
    Bollinger Band
    EMA Period

    Buy Condition:

    1. When previous Bar[low]Touches the Lower Bollinger Band
    2. AND Current bar open above the Lower Bollinger Band
    3. AND Current Bar Open above Close of Previous bar
    4. AND Finally Current bar price should be 2 to 3 pips less than EMA

    Exit Long Conditions:
    1. Exit the long position when current bar touches the EMA.

    Stop Loss:
    1. Low of the previous bar + 2 pips (i.e. the previous bar when we bought)

    Can you please create a strategy for me based on these inputs. Let me know if need any more inputs.

    i tried following but its not working
    Buy : PNO(CLOSE)7

    • Hanan says:

      When you enter a strategy code, you need to also enter the exit expression. If you don’t enter exit or sell expression, you need to enter at least 0 there. That should make your strategy work.

    • Hanan says:

      Dinesh, can you give us the logic behind the code? The problem is that the way codes are written is different for AmiBroker and for Nest Pulse so our developers cannot just pick up the code from here and put it there. Giving us the complete logic behind the strategy will aid in coding.

      • Dinesh says:

        Hi Hanan, I am just trying to use the camarilla statergy 🙂 Hope you understand now.

        • Hanan says:

          Dinesh, our coders wouldn’t be able to decipher the Camarilla Strategy. It would be best if you can write down the logic so we can code it for you. Remember that algoZ is not as advanced as AmiBroker for coding strategies so you have to be able to define the logic in a clear manner for them to code using the tools they have available.

          • Dinesh says:

            I don’t have the Logic for the previous question but here is another strategy.. Could you please let me know if this can be coded.

            Step 1:
            Buy 1 share at current market price (ex: buy 1 at 100.00)
            If 4 points gain then close position if not go to step 2
            Step 2:
            if 2 points loss then buy 2 more shares at 98.00, this step continues whenever there is a 2 points loss and the order quantity doubles for every level it goes down (ex: buy 2 at 98, buy 4 at 96, buy 8 at 94..)

            Exit:
            Close all the positions whenever the point goes up 4 points from the last bought level (let’s say the current price is 96 then it has to close all positions if the point reaches 100), and continue to step 1.

            Thanks,

    OK..
    But what about my code and setting for the given example asked…”For example: Closing price is above 13 ema and cci is greater than 50, buy above the high of this candle with addition to a percentage filter (say 0.5%) and vice versa for sell.”
    Thanks..

    • Hanan says:

      Why don’t you send us a detailed strategy explanation by email to [email protected]. Let me get this checked by my developers. The key is my developers need complete clarity about what you want your strategy to do so they can code it for you.

    hi
    as all of the code give signal whenever meet the given criteria , as well as the order also generated on the same candle. I want to get order alert above/below the high/low price of the signal candle with a percentage filter. how can it be coded?

    Hi Nithin, I am Manikandan from Chennai …. a client and an AP for Zerodha … I have a simple constant strategy in Bank Nifty Futures, with no If and but logic …

    I have back-tested that for the last 9 years and it gives 70 fold returns on capital, with max negative MTM of 2000 points in bank nifty at any point of time … Accuracy at 70% ….

    I have explained this to Bosco in person in Chennai … He should too inform you about this …
    I want this logic automated so that clients can allocate budget and follow it (The logic is very simple and it should be very very easy to automate) …

    I have explained the back-tested results in a video … If you can spend 10 mins, you can watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaKek5-H2NM

    If you can spend some time, i can explain in detail ….

    • Thanks Mani,

      It is a little tricky automating, because exchanges presently don’t let retail to automate strategies. I am forwarding this to Nikhil to have a look, you can connect to him on [email protected], he takes care of our trading desk. Will also speak to bosco about this.

      • Manikandan R says:

        okay … To add more info, the constant strategy i talk about only involves time based orders, twice a day ….

        Does the exchange also restrict putting in time based orders? I mean, a mechanism where i can make it recursive … I will look forward to get in touch with Nithin for further discussions …

        Thanks for your timely response …

    what are the charges and procedure to fully automate trading as per new regulations? Please let me kniw.
    Thanks

    • Sameer,

      Fully automation is not possible on a retail client terminal. You will need a dealer terminal which would mean that you need to register on the exchange as an Authorized person of Zerodha, costs around 10k. Once done, you need to get approval for your strategy from the exchange and running cost for the strategy, which can be anywhere between 2k to 50k per month based on what you want. Send your contact to [email protected], he will get in touch and explain you more.

  388. Sameer_Trader says:

    In algoZ trading, Suppose the system puts a long order on exchange along with a stoploss and the stoploss gets triggered for below stratergy .So the long position is closed because of stoploss and not due to buy exit condition. Now when the sell condition becomes true at some point, will the system first execute buy exit and then opens short position? or does the system knows that the long is closed due to stoploss and only opens a short position?

    Buy: EMA(Close,7)>EMA(Close,14) Sell: EMA(Close,7)<EMA(Close,14)

    Buy exit: 0 Sell exit: 0

  389. rbtj says:

    Hey,

    First of all thanks a ton for your efforts !! 🙂

    A few queries

    1. Can the variable(s) calculated in the previous condition check be used in the next check.
    Say I use “SET A =” function and the BUY or SELL expression returns FALSE. Can I use this information (that it returned FALSE) in the next check ?

    2. How do you incorporate memory element ?
    Say I use SET B= some function in the BUY expression. After 10 intervals, can I use the value of REF(B,10) ??

    3. Explain LOOP function. Is this similar to array in C++.

    Thanks again !

    • Hanan says:

      Hi!

    Hi Zerodha,

    Could you please let me know if we have any feature/possibility to real time feed/EOD feed to excel sheet from Zerodha trader ? I need to know this to apply certain criteria and sort out stocks ahead of time before applying strategies into Algoz.

    Thanks.

    • Hanan says:

      Yes, you can. We have a “Link to Excel” feature available on Zerodha Trader which you can use to get intraday, real-time data onto Excel. What you do with it in Excel after that is up to you.
      End of day data is available on Yahoo or Google for free and you can also get it from the exchange website.

      To use the “Link to Excel” facility, please do this:
      First you need to right click on your Market Watch on ZT and select ‘Link to Excel’. In that option, you have to select ‘All Items.’ Then you go to Excel and just do a paste or ‘Ctrl+V’. This will enable streaming quotes on Excel.

      Settings within Excel:
      1. Open Excel – ZT supports Office 2007 and above. You can try other versions of Excel, but the methodology is as described below.
      2. Click the “Office Button” on the top left of your screen.
      3. Click on “Excel Options” at the bottom of the new window.
      4. In the new window, click on “Trust Center” on the left-hand side menu bar.
      5. On the right-hand side, please click on an option called “Trust Center Settings”.
      6. In the new window, click on “Trusted Locations”.
      7. Click on “Add new Location” on the bottom of the window.
      8. Browse and select the “Omnesys” folder from your Program Files.This will enable Excel to receive streaming quotes from ZT.
      Handy Tip: If it does not work, right click on ZT and on the Excel and run both these programs as ‘Administrator.’

      Sorry,but above may not be correct.We have requested a code which will say about “RSI(CLOSE,14) LINE TRENDLINE”.The one given by you is simply oversold and averbought position of RSI(CLOSE,14).

      I think it is the reply to the previous question repeated here…..erroneously

      “RSI Trendline” breakage may happen at any stage of the RSI values.

      Please correct if wrong.

      Regards

    • Hanan says:

      Chintamani, the kind of strategy you mention is not possible on algoZ. Yes, you can combine two strategies like moving average and RSI to get the desired strategy. Moving averages are as good as trend lines.

      Try this:
      EMA(CLOSE, 12) > EMA (CLOSE, 26) AND RSI (CLOSE, 14) > 70
      EMA(CLOSE, 12) < EMA (CLOSE, 26) AND RSI (CLOSE, 14) < 30

      Well, if you don’t have time to trade, automation seems to be the best way forward. Automating your trades requires you to have a lot of knowledge about systems and technical analysis so you can automate or semi-automate your trades. Please read up this blog and the introduction blog on algoZ so that you can get an idea of how to setup your own trading system.

      Zerodha doesn’t manage funds for anyone, but we’re coming up with our ground-breaking product Open Trade very soon. 🙂

    OR pls call me on 9495716716-SASIMENON.a ZERODHA trader.

    • Hanan says:

      We’ll get someone to call you… 🙂
      Unfortunately, we are not trained to coach our clients on how to use AmiBroker or algoZ. There are a lot of self-help tools which you can use to learn how to trade using these.

  409. SASIMENON says:

    Zerodha,

    1.Where would I get Amibroker,to get fully automated,How much it will cost?and the procedures?
    2.Full automation through Amibroker includes execution of trades through strategies or conditions for the day,or expiry ?
    3.Can I use ALGO strategies with Amibroker

    Pls help me to learn and earn Awaiting for your reply soon.

    • Hanan says:

      Our answers:
      1. Check out this link for details: https://www.zerodha.com/main/zerodha-trader-plugin-amibroker.html. Note that the exchange has restrictions on automatic or semi-automatic trading using external programs, so you have to get each strategy of your approved by the exchange before using it. You actually have to demonstrate each strategy to the exchange before they allow you to use it.
      2. algoZ works independently of AmiBroker. Also the strategies written for AmiBroker have a different language and cannot be imported onto algoZ.

      We have loads of articles written here and this is the best place to get started on learning how to use these tools. Since these are high-end tools, there aren’t too many qualified people to train you on these, so it’s best to utilize online resources.

  410. SASIMENON says:

    Pls reply these questions,

    1.Can I use the NISM certificate,of other person as my authorised dealer,to take fully automated Terminal,in my trading a/c
    2.Can I trade on cash,f&O,and currencies,with automated terminal with that certificate,in my trading a/c
    3.Can I trade on different strategies on different scrips and sectors,on fully automated terminal.
    4. How many days it will take,to get it fully automated,if I have already a trading a/c with zerodha.
    5.Should I become an AP/SB,or the Dealer ? to get an automated terminal on my trading a/c.in such a case?

    Awaiting for your reply pls

    with regards,
    sasirammenon.

    • Zerodha says:

      1) No, the NISM certificate should belong to the person who is going to be availing the services of Zerodha.
      2) Yes, you can.
      3) If you are using NEST Pulse, you can run different strategies on different scrips and sectors but it isn’t fully automated… You’ll have to click to execute the trade… Full automation is available with AmiBroker
      4) We’re yet to get approval for complete Automation… Nest Pulse single click to place orders is available.
      5) You should become an AP to get an Automated Trading Terminal.

      Please note that it is Zerodha’s discretion to offer a trading terminal to a retail client.

    Hi Zerodha,

    Just to modify the strategy a bit

    Buy:
    Condition 1:When stochastics (8,3,4) %K>%D>20 and price crosses above the high of last candle. No buy if % K remains lower than 20 for atleast 5 candles.
    and
    Condition 2:When %K remains above 80 for atleast 5 candles and stochastics (8,3,4) %K>%D (Positive cross over)

    Sell:
    Condition 1:When stochastics (8,3,4) %K<%D<80 and price crosses below the low of last candle. No sale if %k remains abole 80 for atleast 5 candles.
    and
    Condition 2: When % K remains below 20 for atleast 5 candles and stochastics (8,3,4) %K<%D (Negative cross over)

    Hello,
    I had a previous post without an answer, i guess because i may have not expressed myself very well. Anyway, if you can help me with that i will very much appreciate. I have read previous posts on this blog and found something similar to what i want to do. The i saw here is Close>EMA(HIGH,40) AND EMA(HIGH,40)-CLOSE<2. If i understood it well, in this code, the buy entry will happend when the difference between the EMA (HIGH,40) and the last closing price is no greater than 2 points. I want to do something similar, but im not sure on how to write the code. I want to buy when the price of the last candle touches the EMA (CLOSE,17) and the current candle open with no more than 10 points of difference to the EMA (CLOSE,17). Also, i would like to sell when the price pierces the upper bollinger band. Please, could you kindly help me?

    Thanks

    Hello NIthin,

    please share me strategy(code) for below script.
    Buy:For RCOM Future ( just example )
    If 14 EMA cross over to 42 EMA with above average daily volume with target of 0.50 praise and stop loss will be cross over of 42 EMA to 14 EMA.

    Regards,
    Vinod

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      You can’t use the volume data, but it is actually simple strategy and mentioned few times in this blog already.

      Buy: EMA(Close,14)> EMA(Close,42)

      Stop loss can’t be a strategy it has to be put in terms of %, check the blog managing script

      Target has to be a strategy and can’t be a price from your purchase..

    HI,

    CAN YOU WRITE A CODE FOR THE FOLLOWING STRATEGY FOR INTRADAY NIFTY FUTURES FOR 1 MIN INTERVAL.

    BUY SIGNAL. WHEN STOCHASTIC OSCILLATOR %K CROSSES %D FROM BELOW AND RSI IS BELOW 40.

    SELL SIGNAL. WHEN STOCHASTIC OSCILLATOR %K CROSSES %D FROM ABOVE AND RSI IS ABOVE 60.

    BUY : SOPK(9,3,9,EXPONENTIAL)<SOPD(9.3.9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI(CLOSE,14)<40

    SELL : SOPK(9,3,9,EXPONENTIAL)>SOPD(9,3,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI(CLOSE, 14)>60

    IS THIS CORRECT? OR

    BUY : CROSSOVER(%K,%D) AND RSI(CLOSE,14)<40

    SELL : CROSSOVER(%D,%K) AND RSI(CLOSE,14)>60

    THANK YOU

  415. Sameer_Trader says:

    How to get the price at which last signal was generated?
    for example, how to code : exit long when close is below (LONG_PRICE – 50)?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sameer,

      You cannot get the price at which you entered or exited in algoZ, you will have to code this based on your entry signal..

    • niftytrader says:

      on chart right click show running script
      on running script right click open report
      it will show you genrrated signal with time and price

  416. Sameer_Trader says:

    Can I run the stratergy on two different scripts simulaneosly?

  417. Sameer_Trader says:

    Will the Algo script running, consider the carry over positions? Suppose I carried a long position from previous trading day, then will the script genate exit signal for that carried over long position?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      The script won’t consider the carry over position, but if your strategy gives an exit signal, it will ask you to exit that..

  418. Trade_Upaghupta says:

    Hello, i would like to know if the following strategy can be coded:

    Thanks

  419. Trader_Junior says:

    Dear Zerodha,

    I would like to know if the following strategy (or something similar) could be coded:

    The idea is to scale-in the trades as price action runs in our favor, to maximize profits due to proper pyramiding, decreasing the impact of unprofitable trading decisions. The script would have to do something like that (Doesnt have to be exactly this but something similar that could be transformed into a code):

    Buy at market price and place 3 further pending orders
    Sell at market price and place 3 further pending orders
    Place a buy stop order at the high of the previous bar and 3 further pending orders
    Place a sell stop order at the low of the previous bar and 3 further pending orders

    Some other facts you should know:

    The first trade has a risk allocation of 2%.
    All further pending orders decrease in lotsize to avoid overbetting.
    All orders have an ATR-based stop-loss. Default is ATR(30)*2 from the opening price.
    All pending orders have an ATR-based distance between them. Default is ATR(30)/2.

    Here are some images:

    Thank you in advance

    Hello,
    I am trying to verify some strategies with manually vs alogz.. Here is what I am finding disconnects and need your help to understand the problem. First the expression.. simple one for this e.g.:

    Buy Expression: RSI(CLOSE, 21) <40
    Sell Expression: RSI(CLOSE, 21) >60
    Exit Expression: 0

    Chart Type:
    Historical 1 year data (EOD) for NIFTY Future Sept 13
    The first trade it is showing as:
    01/04/2013 12:00:00 AM SHORT 6048.0000

    While as per the data table the first trade should be much earlier, see the row from data table:
    Date RSI(21)

    NIFTY13SEPFUT 07-11-2012 00:00:00 5760.0500 5818.8000 5742.5000 5793.2500 237543 59.4483
    NIFTY13SEPFUT 08-11-2012 00:00:00 5744.7000 5776.8000 5740.0000 5765.2000 186408 60.8500
    NIFTY13SEPFUT 09-11-2012 00:00:00 5756.2000 5782.1000 5702.6000 5720.6000 211739 58.6069

    So as per the Data table the first short should be on Nov. 6, 2012. I plotted RSI(24) on the chart

    Please help to understand the problem.

    Hello,
    I suspect RSI calculations are not correct by NEST. It seems it shows the RSI value of previous period. For e.g, for NIFTY it is showing RSI(21) – Daily at 57.95 at the end of today (Sept 19), while my own calculations and calculations of another source (investing.com), this value is of Sept 18. Today’s value is 63.23 and I assume it will the value tomorrow (at the end of Sept 20). Please check as it impacts the results of many strategies.

    Hello, How can I write a script that first wait for one signal and then second, for e.g. I want to write a script where I wait for RSI(CLOSE,21) < 30 and then EMA(CLOSE,3) < CLOSE. I can't put AND in between as by the time EMA(CLOSE,3) < CLOSE RSI is probably > 30.

    Hi Zerodha,

    I am new in Zerodha and would like to have my Algoz activated.
    Account number DA1153.

    Also would need your help to code the following two strategies

    Strategy1:
    Buy : When 5ema (close) crosses over 13ema (close) from below and in stochastics (8,3,4) %K>%D>20
    Buy Exit: When %K<%D< 80

    Sell: When 5ema (close) crosses below 13ema (close) from above and in stochastics (8,3,4) %K<%D<80
    Sell Exit: When %K>%D>20

    Strategy 2:

    Buy: When stochastics (8,3,4) %K>%D>20 and price crosses above the high of last candle
    Buy exit: When price pierces upper bollinger band (20,2) and price crosses below the low of last candle after touching the higher bollinger brand

    Sell: When stochastics (8,3,4) %K<%D<80 and price crosses below the low of last candle
    Sell Exit: When price pierces lower bollinger band (20,2) and price crosses above the high of last candle after touching lower bollinger band

    It would have been great if there was no user confirmation for the placed algoz strategy, because many users will not be able to sit completely in-front of the system.

    please suggest the below changes in software.
    Or (confirmation message can be made as optional in the settings )-
    or Alert messages should be send as SMS to the registered mobile number.

    Thank you

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Balu,

      Exchanges don’t permit retail clients to completely automate strategies. This would be possible only through a dealer terminal and for dealer terminal you need to be registered with us as an authorized persona and have dealer terminal certifications from NISM.

      Alert messages through SMS, let me find out if this is possible and let you know.

      Cheers,

    Hi Zerodha,

    Is there any way in NEST trader, to change the % required in Study lines > Fibonacci retracements tool.?

    Currently 0%,38.2%,61.8%,76.4%,85.4%,91.0%,94.4% & 100% are available. For example; if I don’t want the 85.4%,91% and 94.4% (remove), instead need to add 88.6%, is it possible.?

    Please advise.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Ajit

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      This isn’t possible. Currently only the default percentages are displayed together. You can remove all together or none.

    • Ajit says:

      Hi Zerodha,

      Can this be added in the future milestones, as all major charting software has the ability to change the % required, also able to enter values manually, change color (from/to) in fibonacci retracement properties.

      Thanks & Regards,
      Ajit

    Hi,

    1. I have written the algoz code in the attached screenshot for
    buy signal when 3 EMA break 15 EMA and RSI(14) > 30
    sell signal when 15 EMA break 3 EMA and RSI(14) < 70. Please let me know if any mistake from below code. CROSSOVER(EMA(CLOSE, 3), EMA(CLOSE, 15)) AND RSI(CLOSE, 14) >30
    CROSSOVER(EMA(CLOSE,15), EMA(CLOSE, 3)) AND RSI(CLOSE, 14) < 70 2. I would like to know how this strategy is executed ? whether this strategy is executed automatically or it just gives alert message ? ( because buy signal already generated long back according to my Time frame 30 min chart) 3. would the strategy be live all the day ?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      1.This code is proper.

      2. It generates an alert through which you can execute the order. You have to confirm by clicking on the Act on Alert button in the alert window, which will invoke the Buy or Sell order entry window, from where you can place the order. Orders will not be placed without user confirmation.

      3. Yes, if no start/ end time is mentioned

    NSE F&O – 15 Minuts Candel Chart
    ———————————————-

    Get First 15 minutes close price and open price – find whether the close price is above or below open price. If it is below, then consider it as 1st DOWN or if it is above, then consider it as 1st UP
    Get the next 15 mins close price.
    Use the 1st 15 mins close price and compare with the next 15 mins close prices. If the next close price is below the 1st close price, then consider it as 2nd DOWN and use this close price for finding the next DOWN close price. If close price is above the first close price, then consider it as 2nd UP close price.
    Find the next close using the last DOWN close price, till it becomes 3rd DOWN.
    Like point 5, calculate for 3rd UP.
    If any stock becomes 3rd DOWN, then check for next open price, if the DOWN stock goes down, then short the stock or if it goes above buy the stock
    Condition for BUY -> 15 paise up for 100 rupees.
    Condition for SELL -> 15 paise down for 100 rupees.

  430. vin says:

    Buy exit will Active only and after BUY Expression satisfied right? If yes then can i pass/set the data or variable of BUY expression to Buy-exit expression?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Yes, buy exit will be active only after buy condition satisfied.

      Can you give an example for the 2nd part of the question.

    • vin says:

      As u mentioned Buy-exit will active only after buy condition satisfies.
      Buy expression
      example: SET A =avg(HIGH,5)
      LAST<=A
      SET B=LAST
      Buy expression end

      can i Use the A & B values(which we used in BUY expression and active for BUY) in BUY-exit expression? as A is variable which is keep on changing with each candle and B is Buy executed price.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      If you use the same A & B values in Buy Exit, this means both A & B become variables. B value will also keep changing with each candle/ tick. Currently, the system will not store the value of any function.

  431. vin says:

    HI..
    How to write buy exit expression after buy-alert (buy price+10)
    i mean how to set buy-alert price which is executed on condition in Buy-exit expression?

    Pl. help me to write this BUY-exit expression?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      In algoZ you cannot really use buying or selling price as a part of condition. So buy exit has to be a separate logic completely.

      So you cannot use a buy price +10

    How can we write a strategy on following conditions

    1.Buy above 5500 and sell below 5495
    2.Buy above first minute open price and sell below first minute open price ( First 5 minutes also)
    3.Buy above ATP of a particular time (11.am ) and sell below ATP of a particular time( ATP =Average Traded Price)

    5.Buy above the previous close and sell below the previous close
    6 Buy above the previous high and sell below the previous low

    pls give me the 6 strategies

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      1.
      CLOSE > 5500 – Buy Alert Expression
      CLOSE < 5495 – Sell Alert Expression

      2. not possible to define first minute’s open, which is effectively Day’s Open. Only way is to enter the values manually

      3. won’t be possible

      4. CLOSE > SMA (CLOSE, 100) – Buy Alert Expression
      CLOSE < SMA (CLOSE, 150) – Sell Alert Expression

      5. can’t define previous close; he will have to enter previous close value manually

      6.
      CLOSE > DHIGH (2) – Buy Alert Expression
      CLOSE < DLOW (2) – Sell Alert Expression

  434. SASIMENON says:

    HI, ZERODHA,

    All the Backtest results are wrong,then what is the use of it,whenever you give backtest result for a period,the result should include all the trades taken place,most of the times the result start in between.
    For eg. if showing Backtested from 08/12/2013 to 08.30.2013,a specific period , software must show all the trades taken place from 12.08.13 to 30.08.13.But software is showing the trades from 20.08.13.does not give you the result of your strategy
    when I enquired your people told me ,the result inclusive of 1 trade even,But I can show you no backtest result is getting even if there are 3-4 trades within your backtested period,this is a very serious problem ,
    As long as this is a free software,we have to be satisfied,what you give,but we are putting the errors and problems,facing daily as zerodha traders.
    If you dont want our suggestions ,we can stop comments.we hope, this to be the best error free,india ‘s No.1 software to trade,and all traders should make use of this.

  435. Chenna says:

    Thanks Zerodha for having algo trading. Please help me with the code for below logic.

    This code is based on 1 minute candle and is based on 2 sets of EMA crossover only.
    logic for buy entry :
    one minute EMA(90) crossing over one minute EMA(390) ( meaning the previous minute ema 90 is less than ema 390) and the ema(90) should also be greater than ema(150)
    logic for sell entry :
    one minute EMA(90) cutting down one minute EMA(390) ( meaning the previous minute ema 90 is greater than ema 390) and the ema(90) should also be less than ema(150)

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Buy:
      REF (EMA (CLOSE, 90), 1) < REF (EMA (CLOSE, 390), 1) AND EMA (CLOSE, 90) > EMA (CLOSE, 390) AND EMA (CLOSE, 90) > EMA (CLOSE, 150)

      Sell:
      REF (EMA (CLOSE, 90), 1) > REF (EMA (CLOSE, 390), 1) AND EMA (CLOSE, 90) < EMA (CLOSE, 390) AND EMA (CLOSE, 90) < EMA (CLOSE, 150)

  436. SASIMENON says:

    Can we put the previous close value in our strategy ,as you mentioned? OPEN < 5300 * 0.99 ,in 1 minute or 5 minute?
    can we put our value ,if we want to buy if market opens above 5400 like this, OPEN > 5400 * 0.10,IN 1 min. or 5 min.

    pls explain, how can I write my strategy,if I want to sell nifty future opens 5 points below 5400 on monday ?
    And if I want to buy nifty future if opens 5 points above 5400 ? why sma 1 is not working and not getting backtest result?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Can we put the previous close value in our strategy ,as you mentioned? OPEN < 5300 * 0.99 ,in 1 minute or 5 minute?

      Ans: Yes

      can we put our value ,if we want to buy if market opens above 5400 like this, OPEN > 5400 * 0.10,IN 1 min. or 5 min.

      Ans: Yes

      pls explain, how can I write my strategy,if I want to sell nifty future opens 5 points below 5400 on monday ?

      Ans: CLOSE > 5395

      And if I want to buy nifty future if opens 5 points above 5400 ? why sma 1 is not working and not getting backtest result?

      Ans: CLOSE > 5405

      SMA (CLOSE, 1) is the same as CLOSE; you’ll need more than 1 bar to compute an average.

    hi zerodha
    i have a question how to take position based on gap up or gap down at open. if it possible using algo z please give me codes for these two strategies
    1) taking position for long side or short side based on gap up or gap down at open.
    2) avoiding taking any position if there is gap up or gap down at open.
    thank you

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Nifty,

      you can have a condition saying that if closing of present candle is higher than the closing of the previous one, a buy alert to generate. What you have mentioned is not really a strategy, if you can mention when exactly you want to buy and when you want to sell, we will write it for u.

    • niftytrader says:

      for eg nifty future previous day closing is 5300 and today it opened at 5250 means there is a gap down opening of 50 points whenever there is gap down opening i will take a short position this can be done manually as i have to look for gap down in 5 to 10 futures then a algorithm will make things easy if possible please let me know.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Part of this can be done, but you will have to put in the previous close value and the quantum by which gap up/ gap down occurs.

      Taking forward the example,u can enter a condition like:

      OPEN < 5300 * 0.99

      (This will check if Nifty has opened 1% below the previous close, if yes, then buy or sell. “5300” we’re considering as the previous close, which u will have to change every day manually.)

      While taking the strategy live, u can set a start time and an end time of 9:15 to 9:16, so that this condition won’t be checked after the first interval. Evaluate as tick should be checked and interval can be the minimum – 1 minute.
      So for each scrip, u would have to create a separate strategy. u can keep the strategy name the same as the scrip name, so that there is no confusion while taking the strategy live.

    Hey!! I want to code the following strategy.
    I use the following indicators when trading for an Intraday.

    – 8SMA and 34EMA
    – STOCHASTIC with 0.15 and 0.85

    BUY
    – When 8SMA crossed above 34EMA and STOCH is above 0.85, Go Long and Exit when the 2 MAS crosses again.

    – When 8SMA crossed below 34EMA and STOCH is below 0.15, Go Short and Exit when the 2 MAS crosses again.

    • Hanan says:

      Here’s your strategy:

      Buy:
      SMA (CLOSE, 8) > EMA (CLOSE, 34) AND SOPK (9, 3, 9, EXPONENTIAL) > 85

      Buy Exit:
      SMA (CLOSE, 8) < EMA (CLOSE, 34)

      Sell:
      SMA (CLOSE, 8) < EMA (CLOSE, 34) AND SOPK (9, 3, 9, EXPONENTIAL) < 15

      Sell Exit:
      SMA (CLOSE, 8) > EMA (CLOSE, 34)

  441. subhashlive says:

    Dear Sir,

    i have newly account opened client to zerodha.. and my strategy was that follows……….

    for Buy:
    SMA CROSSOVER(SMA(CLOSE, 5), SMA(CLOSE, 12))

    for Sell:
    SMA CROSSOVER(SMA(CLOSE, 12), SMA(CLOSE, 5))

    for Buy Exit:
    0

    for Sell Exit:
    0

    what my problem was:
    my strategy not shows a proper exit to cut the profit..
    i want a proper exit strategy for exiting our profit..

    and another one is that

    i want to combine one extra strategy is that directional movement index….follows:
    for long:
    DIP (21) > DIN (21) AND ADX (21) > 25
    for short:
    DIP (21) < DIN (21) AND ADX (21) > 25

    how to combine the moving average crossover system with the direction movement index system.

    • Hanan says:

      Hi Subhash:
      The crossover itself should work as an exit strategy, but without any logic for how or when you’d like to exit your position, we can’t really recommend any exit strategy, per say.
      You say you’d like to combine these two, using what variables/ parameters? As in, what’s the type of MA, for how many periods, etc… Once you know these fields, we just need to link the conditions with the ADX conditions using the “AND” function.

    • subhashlive says:

      thanks for quick reply ..

  442. iVaibhav says:

    Hi Nithin,

    I would like to know if a Keltner Channel overlay is available? If not then is their a way I can code it (Create the indicator). I prefer readings of 20 and 2 on Keltner channel.

    Calculations:

    There are three steps to calculating Keltner Channels. First, select the length for the exponential moving average. Second, choose the time periods for the Average True Range (ATR). Third, choose the multiplier for the Average True Range.
    Middle Line: 20-day exponential moving average Upper Channel Line: 20-day EMA + (2 x ATR(10)) Lower Channel Line: 20-day EMA – (2 x ATR(10))

    Please suggest how I can chart the above?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      No… ATR is not available in algoZ currently. You can use Amibroker plugin, if you have the AFL for the same.

      Cheers,

  443. Nasrudeenh says:

    Dear Sir,

    I use 10 day simple moving average to initiate trades. My strategy is as follows:

    Buy if price moves up from below and crosses 10 SMA of yesterday;
    Sell if price moves down from above and crosses 10 SMA of yesterday

    For example:
    Nifty Futures Contract closed yesterday at 5600 and the 10 day SMA of Nifty Future at market close yesterday was 5500. So, today I would intiate short only if Nifty breaks below 5500.

    However, your system initiates trade by calculating 10 day SMA starting from the live market hours which is not my strategy. The code should look like this:

    CLOSE > SMA(CLOSE OF YESTERDAY,10)

    Kindly help me code the strategy as mentioned above.

    Kind Regards,
    Nasrudeen

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Buy:

      CLOSE > SMA (CLOSE, 10) AND REF (CLOSE, 1) < REF (SMA (CLOSE, 10), 1)

      Sell:

      CLOSE < SMA (CLOSE, 10) AND REF (CLOSE, 1) > REF (SMA (CLOSE, 10), 1)

      What this does is will consider SMA on selected interval, not daily SMA.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Heikin Ashi won’t be 100% accurate because typically in HA, open is typically average of previous HA open and Previous HA close. In algoZ presently you cannot use previous HA open to defite HA open. We have used previous open in a normal chart, so this should be very close to what you are looking for:

      Buy:
      SET HACLOSE = (OPEN + HIGH + LOW + CLOSE)/ 4
      SET HAOPEN = (REF(OPEN, 1) + REF (HACLOSE, 1))/2
      HACLOSE > HAOPEN AND REF (HACLOSE, 1) > REF (HAOPEN,1) AND HACLOSE > SMA (CLOSE, 10)

      Sell:

      SET HACLOSE = (OPEN + HIGH + LOW + CLOSE)/ 4
      SET HAOPEN = (REF(OPEN, 1) + REF (HACLOSE, 1))/2
      HACLOSE < HAOPEN AND REF (HACLOSE, 1) < REF (HAOPEN,1) AND HACLOSE < SMA (CLOSE, 10)

    Nifty closed @ 5677.9 on 02-08-2013 (Friday). I was having a view that ‘downward momentum is building in the index and it can head lower to 5566 and then 5430’ and also that ‘If there is rebound early next week (i.e this week) the index can move upto 5818 or 5850’.

    On Monday 05-08-2013, Nifty open -5682, High-5721, Low-5661, Hence, when High 5721 was reached I thought there is a rebound and accordingly I took position at that level. But Nifty closed at 5685 on that day. Next day, i.e on 06-08-2013 it declined and reached the target of 5566. Hence, there was a loss for me. (I took positions correspondingly in Index futures).

    In such a scenario what shall I do? Whether short term reversal mentioned as above could be confirmed from the charts? Or there any other means? Or shall I have to wait and see the closing price even if that means an opportunity lost? Kindly enlighten me as I come across this problem many times.

    With regards,
    Chella

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Chella,

      Markets are pretty tricky and your strategy is something which is very important.

      What I’d advise is that you were correct in knowing that intermediate trend is down and you buying nifty was putting up a counter trend trade.

      The best way to put a counter trade is to reduce your trading size significantly from your normal size or put a very strict stop loss. I guess you probably didn’t do both of that. Check this Blog , he mainly does counter trend but uses options that too out of the money with only a small capital. This works for him, you need to find what works for you. But you need to remember what I mentioned above, the biggest problem with traders is that we are all inclined to take trades assuming that just because it has come down it will go up or vice versa.

      best of luck

    1) Still I could not find any reply from Zerodha for the issue which I have raised for streaming value of RSI neither I have received call from technical team nor mail
    2) See attached Screen shot for Strategy tested results
    a) There are seven trades shown by system where in summary it shows only 6 Trades ( No of trades) whether system takes the trades only squared off
    (b)Largest loss 48.2 is shown by system But Why No of losing trades is 0 as there is one losing trade

    3) What is interpretation for EMA(Close,3)>EMA(Close,6)>EMA(Close,9) while back testing & going live option with above strategy it has given results & there is no problem observed, please elaborate

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Hi Banti,

      1. The next release should have the fix for the RSI issue

      2. If there is an open trade, it doesn’t get considered on number of trades field. Also if this 48.2 loss is because of the open trade, then the number of losing trades will be shown as 0, loss of 48.2 in this case would be MTM loss on the open position. Can’t see the screen shot, can u upload this.

      3. Didn’t get what you are saying, are you saying the signals is getting generated correctly or not?

      Cheers

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Can u send this image to [email protected] , some issue uploading images I guess.

    Hi
    This is Srikanth (RS 0285). I want you to write my strategy. 20 day moving Average. Buy Above 20 day cross over. Sell below 20 day. Also Stchohastic ocillator K% 12, D% 3. Buy Above 12% / 20%. Sell After 85 to 90%. In ten minute time frame.

    Also I would like to thank you for providing low cost brokerage. Mr Nitin your valuable inputs on various topics. Also I would request you to improve your charting software. One small hitch is it dosent change according to the time frame. For example if you are in 1, 5, 10, 30, Minute time frame. The next candle does not change. Insted one single candle is displayed. I mean every time frame the candle has to change its position. Your support staff have been good. keep the good work going.

    Regards
    Srikanth

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Srikanth,

      How it works on algoZ is that you write a strategy based on the candle size. So we can write a strategy based on 20 candles, if you open on a daily chart it becomes 20 day, if you open on an intraday minute chart it becomes 20 minute average.

      Buy:
      CLOSE > SMA (CLOSE, 20) AND SOPK (9, 3, 9, EXPONENTIAL) > 12

      Sell:
      CLOSE < SMA (CLOSE, 20) AND SOPK (9, 3, 9, EXPONENTIAL) < 85

      Cheers,

    Is there any simple way to add same strategy for all symbol in my watch list like export from excel?

    crossover(MACDSIGNAL(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL),MACD(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL))

    How can i add buy exit expression for 1% profit or 1% loss from the buy price and same for sell exit expression?

    Buy exit Expression:-?
    Sell exit Expression:-?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Appan,

      Buy exit and sell exit can’t be added in terms of % profit, it has to be again a technical condition. You can keep both at 0, in that case if you have bought, the sell expression will be for exit as well as taking a new sell.

    • Anshuman Sharma says:

      Appan

      Came across ur query… the script that u have given gives relevant signals but also gives signals at times when crossover has already happened. do u have any addition that can be done to rule out irrelevant signals.
      also kindly provide changes for if crossover was to happen below 0 for buy and above 0 for sell.

      Buy Alert Expression:
      Close > DHIGH (2)
      Sell Alert Expression:
      Close < DLOW (2)

      About backtesting, if you run it on historical daily chart, the results may not be the best because on daily chart, the buy/sell will come only end of the day.

      If you are looking at backtesting on intraday data, we presently give only 22 days intraday data, so you can backtest on that. The new version of algoZ will have a lot more days of intraday data to backtest on. Check the blog , an example for more.

  459. Banti says:

    I Could able to see there is Error in RSI In my previous blog i have attached Images where RSI is not changing as per streaming value of Quote its getting changed only after interval which is of no use & you should take care of this
    1) see images 1 where there is Large red candle while RSI is not changed it remains 54.91 at 18:30
    2) It gets changed after completion of Candle See image 2 at 18:32 (RSI 33.25)
    3) Image 3 shows there is no streaming of RSI at 18.36 also it shows Same RSI 33.25
    4) Image 4 shows change in RSI when New candle gets generated

    Above Example shows that those who are using RSI will get wrong results & may not Exit if there strategy is based on RSI kindly look into this & resolve it at earliest

    My Strategy is As below
    if EMA3 crossesEMA6 & EMA 6 Crosses EMA9 with MACD Positive crossover &RSI>54 then I will buy
    My Buy Exit will be IF RSI >65 I will Exit

    I have coded as below please check & reply is it correct or not

    Buy Expression
    EMA(Close,3)>EMA(Close,6)>EMA(Close,9) AND MACD(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL)>MACDSIGNAL(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI (CLOSE, 14) >54
    Buy Exit
    RSI(CLOSE, 14) > 65

    Sell Expression
    EMA(Close,3)<EMA(Close,6)<EMA(Close,9) AND MACD(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL)<MACDSIGNAL(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI (CLOSE, 14) < 45
    Sell Exit
    RSI(CLOSE, 14) <35

    (A)Suppose I get buy signal pop up as per my strategy & I act on it with predefined stop loss & my Stategy is working as soon as RSI goes 65 will system automatically square off the buy position or will it show pop up again to square off & I need to click on it please confirm
    ( B) if I made profit I need to cancel my sell stoploss order Manually or will it get cancelled by system
    (C) In above case will system again shows buy order if RSI gets lower upto 56

    Kindly confirm
    Regards,
    Banti

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Banti,

      Thanks for pointing out the issue, get our tech team to look at this.

      As far as your queries go:

      Buy expression:

      EMA(Close,3)>EMA(Close,6) AND EMA(Close,6)>EMA(Close,9) AND MACD(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL)>MACDSIGNAL(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI (CLOSE, 14) >54

      Buy exit is correct

      Sell:

      EMA(Close,3)<EMA(Close,6) AND EMA(Close,6)<EMA(Close,9) AND MACD(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL)<MACDSIGNAL(26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI (CLOSE, 14) < 45

      Sell exit is correct.

      Other parts to your query:

      A. It will show pop up for exit condition.

      B. Stop loss will get cancelled by the system, when exit order gets traded

      C. I am little confused on this, if what you are asking is that if SL is already hit, will your buy condition again give a sell, it won’t.

      Hope this clarifies.

      Cheers,

      2) For Point C in previous blog, I mean to say if I bought one lot of Nifty SL is placed as per my predefined % after reaching RSI 65 I close the Position by POP given by system so as stated earlier by you My stop loss order will be cancelled by system, now as on time I am having no open position but after some time let say after 20min RSI decreases to 56 & all other conditions of EMA & MACD are as per my strategy will system show again Buy order here?

    Hi,
    I want to develop a simple strategy on My AlgoZ platform.

    Time Frame – 30 Minute intraday Futures candles.
    – if Last > Open of each candle then Buy
    – if Last < Open of each candle then Sell
    – if Long the exit at closing price of the 30 Min candle
    – if Short then cover short at the closing price of the 30 Min candle

    Note:
    If the Last goes above and below Open price of the 30 min candle 10 times the position should change all 10 times.

    Kindly guide.

    Thanks!

    Sam

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sam,

      On algoZ, you will generate only one signal per candle,

      Buy expression: Close>open
      Sell expression: Close<open

      When you are taking a strategy live, if you click the option evaluate as a tick, orders will be generated in between the candle instead of waiting for your candle to complete. But as I mentioned earlier it won’t give more than 1 signal per candle.
      So some of the things you have mentioned won’t be possible to code.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Chintamani,

      On algoz you cannot code a strategy on 2 different time intervals at once. So we cannot combine a 1 minute and a 5 minute chart.

      Cheers,

    • chintamani says:

      Can we explore the possibility of doing this?

      Please consider the idea of the same.

      Every trade consists of the tIck and then the same is converted to timeframes.Timeframe is nothing but total number of trades during the same interval.

      Here we are exploring an idea to evaluate the base structure i.e.one minute chart and then when such five minutes are completed ,we call the same as 5 minute chart …so on and so forth.
      Considering the fact that “WHEN FIVE CANDLES ARE COMPLETED IN ONE MINUTE CHART”=ONE CANDLE IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETED ON A 5 MINUTE CHART.

      Here for e.g

      The open on ref(open ,5 ) can said to be the open on a five minute chart -but defined on a one minute chart.
      The close for the five minute chart will be the same as a close on one minute chart,but after completion of five minutes.
      THE HIGHEST HIGH VALUE OF THE FIVE CANDLES ON A ONE MINUTE CHART IS THE HIGH ON A FIVE MINUTE CHART.
      AND LOWEST LOW VALUE OF THE FIVE CANDLES ON A ONE MINUTE CHART IS THE LOW ON A FIVE MINUTE CHART.

      SO A FIVE MINUTE CANDLE ON ONE MINUTE CHART MAY BE DEFINED AS:

      OPEN-REF(OPEN ,5)
      CLOSE-CLOSE
      HIGH-HIGHEST HIGH VALUE OF THE FIVE CANDLES -SORRY BUT I DO NOT KNOW THE CODE FOR THE SAME.
      LOW-LOWEST LOW VALUE OF FIVE CANDLES -HERE TOO I DO NOT KNOW CODE FOR THE SAME.

      Once defined,a correlation to the other factors may be possible.
      This, if possible, may be extended to other data array as RSI, MACD ETC.

      This may make us trade RSI when it is below 30 on one minute chart and above 60 on five minute chart.
      I am not able to extend the idea further……

      Kindly correct if wrong and please extend the idea if correct and code the strategy for the benefit of all.
      Perhaps it may help all to have combination in various ways for trading their own ideas.

      Best Regards

      Chintamani.

      SET A = ((REF (HIGH, 1) + REF (LOW, 1))/2) + 10
      SET B = ((REF (HIGH, 1) + REF (LOW, 1))/2) – 10
      CLOSE > B AND REF (CLOSE, 1) < B

      Sell Alert Expression:
      SET A = ((REF (HIGH, 1) + REF (LOW, 1))/2) + 10
      SET B = ((REF (HIGH, 1) + REF (LOW, 1))/2) – 10
      CLOSE < A AND REF (CLOSE, 1) > A

    zerodha,

    when we go live ,there is a window,we have to select execution period,product type,

    Can this software keep our strategy , as GTC ( good till cancel) so that we can avoide login everyday , on automated trading.If the margin is sufficient the trades will automatically take place according to the strategy

    Which one , NISM or NCFM is sufficient for your dealer terminal ?

    pls reply at the earliest,delayed replies ,block this blog active———–

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Even if you automate your trade completely, you will still need to take strategies live everyday.

      Yes if you have a dealer terminal, you can automate your trades.

      YOu need this exam: http://www.nism.ac.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=375&Itemid=299

      along with this certification you will need to become an authorized person on the exchange with us and also rent the dealer terminal. One time cost of Rs 5000 to become an AP on exchange and Rs 250/month/segment/exchange for dealer terminal charges.

      Yes Vijay,

      If you have a profitable strategy let us know, we can blackbox it and show with backtesting results to all our readers/clients. We could get them to get your strategy for a price, which can be shared with you.

      Let us know,

    HI
    ZERODHA
    can you code
    for buy
    after 3 pm price above 10 MA
    in above comments i know that time based strategy is not formed but as in one comment i read using candle close we can do that i use 5 min candle please help in that

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Don’t know how I couldn’t think of it earlier.

      Use the same code Close>SMA(close,10) but in alert preference keep the start time as 3pm.

      Hopefully this helps.

    Hi Zerodha,

    Yesterday I had sent report(contract note and Screenshots) where false signals were generated during live hours from pulse. I had lost 22000 on 24 June because of that. I had also put Nithin in cc. Could you please let me know what went wrong? I also see many people complaining that false signals are generated during live hours. Is the AlgoZ reliable? I am in touch with Omneysys regarding this but could you also look into it? A little effort from your side would be helpful for traders like me.

    Best regards,
    Akhilesh

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Akhilesh,

      We are looking into your issue, I guess it has got to do with alert preference, will get back to you soon on this.

      It is absolutely possible that backtesting and live doesn’t match, based on when you go live and the alert preferences chosen.

      You went live on a strategy at 10am, at the end of the day you backtest and see that it doesn’t match. The reason is because when you are backtesting it is taking from beginning of the day and not when you went live.

      But that said, we are retesting to see if there is any issue with generation of false signals.

    • akh64bit says:

      Hi Zerodha,

      Thanks for your reply.
      I went live before 9:15 AM. As you can see from the contract note trades were done as early as 9:35 AM. Also my Alert preference was set to “Place from Signal price”.

    • niftytrader says:

      hi
      akh64bit
      can you share want error leads to this huge loss for you if you share this will be help ful for me also becouse this has happened to me also like some time we set interval as 5 min but signals are genrated on 1 minutes chart
      please share with us also the screen shot

    A big thank you and thumbs up for your team’s efforts.
    I have some request for coding my MT4 strategy into AlgoZ, so that i can benefit from that.
    My strategy is as below:
    Buy:
    1.) CLOSE> 5EMA displaced by 5 periods forwars2.) 4EMA -5EMA positive crossover3.)RSI should be above 50 and should be above the signal line (or whatever you can suggest with RSI, MACD, STOCH etc will be most welcome.)
    Buy Exit:
    If close < last 5 bar low.
    Sell:
    1.) Close< 5EMA displaced by 5 periods forward. 2.) 4EMA-5EMA negative crossover3.) RSI should be below 50 and should be below the signal line.
    Sell exit:
    If close> last 5 bar high

    I am attaching a snapshot of my MT4 chart for better understanding.
    I would be highly thankful to you guys if you get it done….

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Buy:

  480. currencyandnifty.com says:

    Yes,I agree with Niftytrader,I have some suggestions for the ALGOZ.

    1.Backtest results are not same as live signals,on any timeframes,you can test,I have tested.
    2.Backtest results are not as per your specified period given on result window on any timeframe.
    3.If you specify a period from 03.06.13 ,pls show the result from the next signal onwards,as per strategy and dont show the signal and result in between,will mislead the backtest result
    4.we are not getting backtest results for the same strategy working , if there is 1 or 2 results on higher timeframes.
    5.Occassionally we have lost ,the strategies that we have saved on NESTTRADER.

    pls consider this as the suggestion of a wellwisher,and not as a critic
    we expect the best ,from you ,we know you can do it.

    hi
    i have coded above strategy using your comments on above query by other folks on this page but i am very disappointed with ALGO Z. I say NAAM BADE AUR DARSHAN CHHOTE which i think suits best for ALGO Z but on expected lines a free product work like that only.
    ALGO Z is working very fine and showing good results in back testing as per my strategy it works well and given signal only when it occurred but when i take it live then what a disaster happens to ALGO Z it started giving false signals it has given almost 20 false signal to me thank god i am using semi automate version other wise i may be bankrupted today and after market close i again back test to see weather it gives this signal again or not and i am surprised it has only given one signal which is as per my strategy so i want to know why ALGO Z has not working good in live mode and giving false signals please rectify this problem in this product and make it more professional so that retail traders can take advantage of that
    thank you
    hope to see some improvement in this product in future
    and one thing i have to only relay on my eyes and brain not on this ALGO Z

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Hey Nifty,

      It is important that you set the alert preference correct before taking the strategy live.

      Check this blog on managing your script: http://www.zerodha.com/z-connect/blog/view/managing-your-script

      If you are backtesting on a 5min candle, when you take live, you need to set interval to 5mins.

      Also if you have ticked on evaluate as tick, order will trigger even before the completion of the candle.

      If you are following all these correctly, i’d appreciate if you send me the screen shots of such triggered orders. send them to [email protected]

      Cheers,

    • niftytrader says:

      i researched on this and found that the problem is not in ALGO Z but in nest plus chart it has stopped forming new candle in my case in every 5 minute insted of that all data is updated in one candle only for eg at 12:55 candle is running 9:35 with current price and volume is huge means all volume and price event after 9:35 is shown in single candle it happens today also with me but when i re login to system charts started updating so zerodha please tell me why this problem occurred and how to avoid this in future as you know after re login you have to again run each and every strategy from start and have some other issues in it
      thank you

    Sir,

    I have less knowledge about coding. So please explain in little simple words. Firstly, I want to know which software do I need to run the code?

    Secondly, I want alerts only. When price pierces upper or lower bollinger band on 30 mins or Dly TF, I want an alert.

    Third, to get these alerts, should the chart be open?

    buy when william % is lesser than -80 and heikin ashi candles is green
    and sameway
    sell when william % is greater than -20 and heikin ashi candles is red
    Also how do i write code for
    buy when william % is <-80 and sell when its value is 5 points lesser than previous one. (say if its current value is 60 and than i want to sell it if it comes to 65)
    Do we have ichimoku kinko hyo?

      Hello,

      Thanks fo the code but its not working, none of them are working, when i try to save the code it gives me error “Please write a valid Expression”

      Kindly check if i have done something wrong or code has issues

      Thanks

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Mitch,

      If you don’t have separate exit expression for buy and sell mention a 0. If you leave the buy exit and sell exit blank, you will get this error..

    • Mitch says:

      Hello,

      Thanks. With adding of 0 it saves properly but results are completely wrong, with that backtesting does not show more buying and selling singal as it should be with what code should do.

      Here is the screenshot

    • Mitch says:

      Hello,

      I have made some changes to the code its somewhat working but i want to make some changes

      For eg. as per our code buy when william % is greater than 80 and heikin ashi green candle and vice versa

      Problem with that is even if william % is coming down and if green candle is there it will trigger buy, so what i want here is buy should only happen when william % is crossing -80 from that is like from 100 to 90 to 80 rather than while falling.

      Same with sell expression i want to short only when william % is crossing -20 from higher up that and not when it reaches from bottom.

      Also here in the code we are checking for close green candle, but what i want is that buy should happen when current candle is turing green (rather than waiting to close in green) and william % is crossing -80 towards upside.

      Exit Expression

      In buy exit expression i want to exit when william % is falling with red candle and same with sell exit expression i want to exit when william % is rising with green candle.

      I am sorry its long thing and i hope i am clear putting it here. Your help will be really appreciated.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      WPR (14) > – 80 AND REF (WPR (14), 1) < -80 – this means it was less than -80 in the previous candle and greater than -80 in the current candle.
      Heikin Ashi code is the same, which was given earlier. If you want the signals in between the interval instead of waiting for the close, you should tick the checkbox for evaluate as tick in live (alert preference) window.

      For sell expression: WPR (14) < – 20 AND REF (WPR (14), 1) > -20

      Your buy exit and sell exit is similar to your buy/sell expression, so you could just mention a 0.

  488. Deepakambawata says:

    Hi Zerodha,

    I wanted to know more about Algoz and wanted your help in building a strategy. Please help me out with the same

    1. buy – when 13 ema crosses 50 ema with the 20 paisa price filter
    2. sell – when 50 ema crosses 13 ema with 20 paisa price filter

    required in 5 min time frame…

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Deepak,

      When you write a strategy you don’t choose the time frame. You choose the time frame when you are going live. Check this blog on Managing your script

      Also to set how you want to buy once the signal has initiated a trade, use the alert preferences mentioned on the blog.

      When you are backtesting, you will get an intraday chart with 1 min by default, change this to 5 mins and then backtest the strategy.

      Your code is pretty simple and explained above:

      Buy: EMA(Close,13)>EMA(Close,50)

      Buy exit: 0

      Sell: EMA(Close,13)<EMA(Close,50)

      Sell exit: 0

  489. Shaan says:

    Kindly code this strategy for me…

    Strategy 1:

    Enter at the 50 points above or below the open price for Bank Nifty. And Keep trailing the SL to 50 points.
    After it exits, again the entry would be 50 points above or below. (50 points above Long and 50 points below short)

    • Hanan says:

      Shaan, unfortunately this strategy won’t be possible on algoZ. You can try lots of other strategies that are workable on algoZ or you can try our Zerodha Trading Plugin with AmiBroker.

  490. SASIMENON says:

    CAN YOU CODE BELOW STRATEGIES.

    1.BUY( LONG) ABOVE OPENING PRICE

    SELL (SHORT) BELOW OPENING PRICE

    2.BUY (LONG) ABOVE AVERAGE TRADED PRICE (ATP LINE)OR WEIGHTED AVG.

    SELL (SHORT) BELOW (ATP LINE) OR WEIGHTED AVG.

    • Hanan says:

      Here you go…

      CLOSE > OPEN (of the candle/ interval)

      CLOSE < OPEN

      ATP/ Weighted average price isnt available, but we have something called Weighted Close, which is basically an average of a candle’s open, high, low and close values, where more weightage is given to the close price. If this can be used, the code will be CLOSE > WC()

      Hope this helps.

      You can’t mention specific times, but you can say how many candles before the current candle using the REF function.

      Current time is 12:00:00, then
      CLOSE denotes closing price of the candle at 12:00:00
      REF (CLOSE, 1) denotes close at 11:00:00
      REF (CLOSE, 2) denotes close at 10:00:00

    Here we need to have the signal/Alert on the candle which denotes expression-high/low/close /open.
    Then we need to take the position on the next candle as all the conditions are fulfilled.
    Please advise if the expression is correct.
    We have already made the strategy live but the signals that we are gettig on the chart are not correct ones.
    The same strategy have already been implemented in Metastock , and is working fine
    Are we going wrong somewhere in expression or in making the strategy live or otherwise somewhere. Please advise as this is vvimp for us.

      ( No 1)
      Or
      ( No 2)

      and so on “n”number of (strategic)expressions.

      Sell Exit Expression-0

      Will it work?

      3.
      In the 2 above,the logic is to-
      a.Take all the strategies live at a time and not to have the hassle to put every strategy live in the morning.
      b.Follow the simple trailing SL manually.

      4.Or do we have to make all buy expressions with one strategy mode and all sell expressions with another seperate strategy mode and :
      a.Take “buy” -STRATEGY LIVE IN THE MORNING.
      b.Take “sell”-STRATEGY LIVE IN THE MORNING.

      Please advise.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      If what I have understood is right, yes 1 and 2 should work.

      You will have to take all the strategies that you have saved live individually and everyday.

      If there is disruption of internet connection from our side,is there a possibility that the candles/bar shown on the nest chart changes-as the data received is disrupted and leads to generation of alerts based on the data received till the time the candle /bar is formed.

      Are the candles /bars backfilled automatically once internet connection is restored.

      Please inform.

    b. Based on my technical logic, want to enter the market based on SL-Limit or SL-Market Order
    c. Execution of this order, should then either place a profit order or a stop-loss order
    d. Execution of either of the order, other order gets cancelled, and I start from point b again.

    referring to SASIMENON on May 8 2013, 10:44 pm.
    A stoploss % is essential or we can keep it blank.?

    Can you please explain further?

    if I (using Algoz) have taken a position for BNF @ 12500 and I set SL as 4% it will sqr off the position at 12000?

    I am trying to put my proposed strategy across. Pure Intraday trades.

    Time Frame: 15 Min

    Long Position: 5 EMA crosses over 10 WMA (Buy at MKT)
    Stop Loss: Previous Candle Low

    TSL: Previous Candle Low
    Short Position: 10 WMA crosses over 5 EMA ( Short at MKT)
    Stop Loss: Previous Candle High
    TSL: Previous Candle High

    Hi Zerodha,

    My requirement are simple.

    1) For EOD trades, Buy Nifty Calls when 3 EMA > 15 EMA on Nifty Spot. Buy Nifty Puts when 3 EMA < 15 EMA on Nifty Spot.

    Additionally as a confirming indicator, I also want to make certain that MACD (5,20,4) has given a buy / sell signal as well as RSI-EMA 21,9 (9 EMA of 21 RSI) has also given the same buy / sell signal.

    Please help me code the same and back test it.

    2) For Intraday Trades, I want to buy Call / Puts if the Nifty Spot crosses a certain value, say 6000, upwards (then Calls) or downwards (then Puts) respectively. How can I put in this sort of a conditional order?

    for example: if Nifty Spot < 6000, initiate Buy Nifty Puts (In The Money / At The Money).

    OR

    if Nifty Spot > 6000, initiate Buy Nifty Calls (In The Money / At The Money).

    Thanks for your help in advance and eagerly awaiting your help / reply.

    Regards,
    Sid

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sid,

      In algoZ you cannot write a strategy based on a different underlying. If you want to trade a particular call/put, you have to mention your technical analysis strategy on that.

      So it won’t be possible to write a strategy to buy calls/puts based on how nifty spot is moving.

    • taruj says:

      AH!! Had this question as well. But Sid, can we not do this? the system generates a buy/sell signal, go and buy the Call/Put. some manual work though.

      if this can be incorporated by the Zero guys, I would be make me a billion!! 🙂

  504. Miks says:

    When I try for backtesting, I dont see any such option. All there is in my strategy is the Edit option. How do I proceed further?

    Also what expression do I use for EMA crossover say 3 EMA crossing over 7 EMA then Buy and vice-versa?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Miks,

      Guess algoZ is not enabled for you, you can send an email to [email protected] asking to be enabled. A lot of queries are already explained above, do have a look

      Buy expression: EMA(Close,3)>EMA(close,7)
      Buy exit: 0

      Sell expression: EMA(Close,3)<EMA(Close,7)
      Sell exit: 0

      Also check the blog on managing your script

    • Miks says:

      I have sent email for enabling Algoz twice before and received email yesterday that it will done in 2 hours, but still it seems it has not been done.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Keep a cc to [email protected] and send it again

    • chintamani says:

      There appears to be some problem in this
      .As we have also faced the same problem and only edit option is available.
      But ,again when we close zerodha trader and start again , it shows all the three options viz,edit,live and backtest.

    Sir,

    we cannot make a strategy above 1000 sma even on 1 min. chart and it does not backtest and get the result

    pls allow the system to work upto 3000 sma on 1 min.chart.

    There are 60 candles per hour,375 candles per day,and for 22 days it will have 8250 candles.

    A 3000sma will start after 3000 candles from the beginning and it goes on , so can you provide us more than 1000 sma,s

    atleast on 1 min, chart and let the strategy backtest and proceed???

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Am checking with our tech team on this, we will try to incorporate in the next version. 3000 candles will be quite a bit of data and might slow the process of backtesting. Will update you on this.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      currencyandnifty.comMay 20 2013, 11:27 pm
      Sir ,

      Atleast 2000 sma will be useful for a net profit on f&o traders less loss trades ,brokerage and other govt.charges.

      If it slowdown the process so, backtesting can be permitted only after trading hours.

      Pls consider this upgrading from limited 999 candles and encourage more successful trades.

  507. ricky says:

    sir can u please code this strategy for me:-

    Exit Strategy

    1. When fast Stochastic reverses from it’s upward move, curves downwards and crosses the slow line from above, sell half of the units.

    2. If the next bar goes below the low of the previous bar, exit completely

    thanks in advance

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Ricky,

      1/2. your entry strategy: SOPK (8, 3, 4, SIMPLE) > SOPD (8, 3, 4, SIMPLE)

      3. your entry strategy: EMA (CLOSE, 5) > EMA (CLOSE , 13) AND REF (EMA (CLOSE, 5), 1) < REF (EMA (CLOSE, 13), 1)

      Do note that algoZ doesn’t support multiple time frames on the same strategy. For example, you can have a strategy different one running on a 5 min chart and another on 30min chart. You cannot have a strategy which requires both 5 min and 30 min chart.

      Again Stop loss can be set as % using the alert price window.

      Exit strategy: SOPK (8, 3, 4, SIMPLE) < SOPD (8, 3, 4, SIMPLE) AND REF(SOPK (8, 3, 4, SIMPLE), 1) > REF(SOPD (8, 3, 4, SIMPLE), 1)

      Again, cannot split the quantity for exiting, when the above condition gets satisfied, the order will be for the complete quantity.

  509. Nanu says:

    Hi can you give formula for Trailing Stop loss

    Example 1% trailing Stop in Picture:

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      There is no concept of trailing stop loss, but you could use the buy exit option to write strategy which can be used as a stop loss. For example, your blue line looks like a moving average line, so you can have a moving average condition as a stop loss.

    • Nanu says:

      Here is my idea that may be of help. Please modify it into workable Code

      LONG EXIT
      SET A= if(BUY= TRUE, HIGH, 0 ) \ When Buy happens intialize A with current HIGH
      SET A = if( HIGH >REF(HIGH,1) , HIGH, A)

      CLOSE <= A*0.01

      You can use the AND condition and have something else to filter so that you don’t get chopped on those moves. The logic will have to be yours,

  512. sangi says:

    Hi,

    You corrected my code for reversal strategy. thanks a lot. But tht code gives signal when a reversal candle gets formed and that too when i run scrip by scrip only.

    But buy/sell is actually abv /blow the high/low of PR/NR. So Pls. give me a code tht generates signal on actual buy/sell with exit tgts as defined blow.

    When I backtest, Should I go scrip by scrip? Or is there anyway to test this strategy in nifty 50 for a particular period?

    My strategy for reversal:

    Buy:abv the high of the positive reversal(PR) candle.SL is the low of the PR. exit for buy: closing the 50% buy posn at 1:1 and rest at 1.618 fibo extn(diff between high and low of th PR * 1.618) added to the high of the PR.

    Sell: blow the low of the negative reversal candle. NR is just opposite of PR definition.

    Definition of positive rev can:

    Low of the current candle should be more than the low of the previous candle.
    close of the current candle should be more than previous candles close and open of the current candle.
    high of the current candle should be less than the high of the previous cndl.

    RSI of the current candle should be more than 30 and RSI of the previous candle should be less than 30.

    hope to get the reply soon. Thanks in adv.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Firstly,

      When you backtest, it has to be done scrip by scrip.

      About your strategy: this wont be possible. it will generate on the pr/ nr candle or if u specify that above/ below high/ low in the next 5 candles, then can be done using ref function

  513. Sebu says:

    I add MACD crossover strategy to 10 charts and make live.Then i close 9 charts.
    but it work only in 3 charts.In the chart i find the crossover but no buy sell signal generated by the system. is there any limit in no of charts.can i add strategy without open the plus chart?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sebu,

      You have to open a chart, apply the strategy and then open another chart apply the same strategy and so on…

    • Sebu says:

      after applying strategy can i close the chart.keeping many charts open make the system slow..
      If i close the chart after loading strategy,is it work or not?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Yes once you apply the strategy, you can close the charts. Once you go live on the strategy, you would not need the chart to be open anymore..So you can close the chart once you take the strategy live..

      Cheers,

    • Sebu says:

      PY,

      The expression is correct,

      In Buy expression: RSI(CLOSE, 14) > 55

      Buy exit: RSI(CLOSE,14)<30

      Since you don’t have a sell strategy make sure to write a 0 in both those places. It might be showing an error because you are not mentioning the 0.

    Hi Team,

    I haven’t yet received any clarification on below issue. Kindly help me to solve the below problem.

    This is a simple MACD crossover script as mentioned below. But there are false signals (encircled in red), though crossover has not happened. Can you please explain the reason for these false signals? Thanks..

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      KK,

      Sorry had missed your query,

      Looking at this I can see 2 reasons,
      1. Instead of using the Crossover function, just use the > or < , for example use this instead of crossover: MACD(26,13 9,EXPONENTIAL) > MACDSIGNAL (26,13,9,EXPONENTIAL)

      2. MACD and MACD signal use exponential moving average and not simple average for plotting. This may also be creating the mismatch.

    Sir,

    An automated strategy can go live with your server on all trading days,without trader login with a dealer terminal?

    • Hanan says:

      You have to login everyday to the terminal if you’re using the retail version. In the dealer version (where you need to have a NISM certificate) it’s possible for trades to get executed every time a signal occurs… but you still need to log into the trading platform. Or someone else needs to log into it for you.

    How a stoploss can assure , minimum 2% profit,from each trade?
    pls explain

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sasi,

      Stop loss can’t really assure you profits, but it can only be used to make sure you exit fast if you make a loss..

      To exit at profit, you need to have an exit strategy. Unfortunately, there is no definite exit strategy which would say give you a 2% profit.

  527. Faisal says:

    Hi Zerodha,

    I have made a strategy as follows :
    Buy: EMA(Close,3)>EMA(Close,5) Sell: EMA(Close,3)< EMA(Close,5)

    Buy exit: CLOSE<EMA(close,5) Sell exit: CLOSE>EMA(close,5)

    In this case, does it exit the existing lots and add a new lot into position or just exit the existing position.
    I.e. I have a short at nifty 5851.4. At 5726 long trigger occured. so in that case it should exit current short position and need to add one long position. How can this be done. the above code is sufficient ?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Faisal,

      let me give you an example,

      Assume the 3 candle ema crossovers the 5 at 5900, you will get a buy trigger and assume it went up and it came down to 5 candle ema again at 5910. This is your exit strategy and you will get a sell trigger.

      But this is not your sell strategy, the next fresh sell trigger will happen when your condition: EMA(Close,3)< EMA(Close,5) is met.

      If you want to exit and take a fresh sell, then you need to keep your buy exit and sell as same strategy or you can keep exit as 0 and keep sell.

      Hope, this clarifies, let me know if it didn’t.

      Cheers,

      Sasi,

      We will be starting this feature soon, where we will share profitable trading systems, it need not always be complex. If you see the example of manage your script blog, if you had put a stop loss, even that would have made you a pretty decent return.

    Hi Zerodha,

    Thanks for the new features added . Can you please help me to develop a expression for the below strategy.

    Strategy 1:

    EMA cross over 12 x 26 for buy and sell signal with the filter of MACD cross over at “0” line to generate buy or sell signal

    Strategy 2:

    EMA cross over 12-26 with filter parabolic SAR indicator buy and sell signal.

    On go live with 5 minute candle setting , it is firing based on one minute candle and generating lot of trades
    Please help

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      APM,

      Firstly when you go live, you need to set interval to 5mins in the alert preference window as shown in the manage your script blog. Just making the chart as a 5 min chart won’t be enough.

      If you have done this and still getting the prompts, can you double click on any prompt that you have gotten on the running script window, take a snapshot and send it to [email protected] . Also mention your client id .

      Cheers,

  540. Shaan says:

    My logic is explained below. Kindly let me know the code for he same.

    Buy on the previous day’s high. Stop loss for Nifty is 30 points. If it moves in the direction of the trade, then the stop loss moves to the previous day’s low or 30 pts which ever is lower. Similarly for Short positions as well.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Buy: CLOSE > DHIGH(2)

      Sell: CLOSE<DLOW(2)

      Stop loss can be placed as % in set alert window, as shown in this blog. You cannot have a trailing stop loss.

    the code i have given above is for NR.

  544. sangi says:

    Hi,

    This is my strategy for reversal. I have coded and it works in odin , but not in algoz. Can u tell me why it is not working in algoz and pl rectify the mistake.

    Buy:abv the high of the positive reversal(PR) candle.SL is the low of the PR. closing the 50% buy posn at 1:1 and rest at 1.618 fibo extn(diff between high and low of th PR * 1.618 added to the high of the PR.
    Sell: blow the low of the negative reversal candle. NR is just opposite of PR definition.

    Definition of positive rev can:

    Low of the current candle should be more than the low of the previous candle.
    close of the current candle should be more than previous candles close and open of the current candle.
    high of the current candle should be less than the high of the previous cndl.

    RSI of the current candle should be more than 30 and RSI of the previous candle should be less than 30.

    Code:
    SET A = HIGH
    SET B = REF(HIGH,1)
    SET C = CLOSE
    SET D = OPEN
    SET E =REF(CLOSE,1)
    SET F = RSI(CLOSE,14)
    SET G = REF(F,1)
    SET H = LOW
    SET I = REF (LOW,1)
    A > B AND C < D AND C < E AND H > I AND E > 70 AND G < 70
    Please help me in this regard. If you find that this is not coded properly, pls give me the correct code.
    Thanking you in advance.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sorry Sangi for missing this, I had answered which didn’t get posted before.

      Your code almost right except for the small mistake, F is the RSI not E, you have mentioned E>70, it is actually F>70. So if you change, it will look like:

      A > B AND C < D AND C < E AND H > I AND F > 70 AND G < 70

      thank you for the response. I am yet to take it live. I have 2 doubts. Pls clear it.

      2. When I backtest, Should I go scrip by scrip? Or is there anyway to test this strategy in nifty 50 for a particular period?

    Aren’t all orders are based on the close price (LTP) of the respective timeframe candle.?
    I do understand the VWAP, but the point I wish to know is whether trades are based on VWAP or LTP calculations in algo.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Rainmaker,

      VWAP is presently for order slippage, isn’t functional yet.
      Yes, all are orders are based on close price of previous candle.
      Orders/trades are based on LTP and not VWAP, as I mentioned VWAP is only for order slippage..

    Hi,

    I am looking to trade with pivot points. My Buy expression would be =(Prev Day High+Prev Day low+Prev Day close)/3)*1.001)

    and Sell Expression would be (Prev Day High+Prev Day low+Prev Day close)/3)*.999)

    Pls help me code this for back testing. Thanks!

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Dharam,

      You cannot really this strategy live because it is based on daily candles or daily chart. But yes you can in the evening backtest the strategy and if an buy/sell indicator comes you can take a buy/sell the next day.

      Buy: CLOSE > ((REF(HIGH, 1) + REF (LOW, 1) + REF(CLOSE, 1))/ 3) * 1.001

      Sell: CLOSE < ((REF(HIGH, 1) + REF (LOW, 1) + REF(CLOSE, 1))/ 3) * 0.999

      Buy exit: 0
      Sell exit: 0

      Once you have saved the strategy, open intraday historical chart and backtest. If a buy/sell indicator comes up, you can take the trade the next day.

    • Dharam says:

      Thanks Zerodha. I am little confused with the codes given. Does it generate the Signals based on last day’s High, low and close or the latest high,low & close. My manual signals do not match with the Code generated signals. pls help…

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Dharam,

      Didn’t see your reply,

      You can’t backtest this strategy on an intraday chart. So firstly, open an historical chart and then backtest it.

      Also you cannot take this strategy live as the signals will be generated only at the end of the day. so you will need to backtest it in the evening and take a trade next day.

      Cheers,

  549. thavva says:

    Few questions.

    1. Does back test include brokerage and other charges too?
    2. Back test results for how much quantity for cash and futures? Is it like for cash 1 share and for F&O one lot?
    3. I should be connected to trading platform once i take my strategy live to run it during trading hours always? or i can logoff in between?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      1. Backtest doesn’t include any charges, you will have to factor it in externally.

      2. The results show based on what you are backtesting on. If you are backtesting on equity, it will show you total points for 1 share and if it is f&o for 1 lot.

      3. You will have to be logged in continuously after you take a strategy live. If you logoff, you will have to take strategy live once again after logging back in.

      Jawahar,

      Firstly, if you are talking about activating algoZ for your ID, can you send an email to [email protected]. It might be already activated, do double check.

      The correct code:

      Buy: EMA(Close,3)>SMA(Close,18)

      Buy exit: 0

      Sell: EMA(Close,3)<SMA(Close,18)

      Sell exit: 0

    Zerodha,

    Thank you for previous code.

    I have another query.
    I use MACD crossover system to buy and sell on 5 min chart of Nifty call/put Options.

    When I get a signal I confirm and order is executed. In preferences I have put stoploss of 0.5.
    Now how to modify the stoploss once trade is in profit .
    And since this is Options trade once I get sell signal as per system will it execute the order if I confirm.

    Earlier before algoZ when I traded , for options after buying I could place only either SL order or sell order and not both.
    If tried to place both it gave RMS limits error for not sufficient margin.
    So in algoZ should I cancel SL first for options and then confirm sell or how does it work.
    Sorry for long question.
    Thank you.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Shri,

      The stop loss which you place will show as a pending order in your order book. You can go to the order book and modify the stop loss.

      If you place a new sell for the same option, you will still be asked for more margin as the new order will be considered as a fresh short position. To exit what you can do is go to pending stop loss order and modify it as a exit order or else cancel it before confirming on the selling signal that your system would have provided.

      Hope this clarifies.

    You will have to run this strategy individually for stocks, there is no option to run a screener. What you will have to do is, take live the same strategy individually for the various stocks you are tracking. Blog http://www.zerodha.com/z-connect/blog/view/managing-your-script shows you how to take live and setting alert preferences.

    Is it possible in Algo Z

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Anamika,

      You can’t apply different time frames to the same strategy. You can either use 5 min or 15min, but you can’t combine both.

      If it is just on one time frame then :

      Buy: EMA(close,9) > SMA(Close,20)
      Sell: EMA(close,9)< SMA(Close,20)

      Hi OP,

      algoZ is based on technical analysis , so you can’t define to buy above a certain price like 5900, you could just use the stoploss to enter if you know the price.

      But if the price is based on a technical analysis strategy, yes it can..

    Sell = Histogram < ref(close,1) and ref (close ,1) < ref (close ,2).
    Here close is macd histogram values and not candle values.

    Please help me code this..
    Thank you

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sell:

      SET MACDHIST = MACD(26, 12, 9, EXPONENTIAL) – MACDSIGNAL (26, 12, 9, EXPONENTIAL)
      MACDHIST < REF (MACDHIST, 1) AND REF (MACDHIST, 1) < REF (MACDHIST, 2)

    I want to find whether the trend of the last three CLOSE periods of 5 minute interval charts. Can i use?

    TREND(CLOSE, 3) = UP

    Particularly, the second parameter “2” is it for “periods” or only “days” ?

    Thanks,
    Juggy…

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Yes Juggy, the code is correct, the number is for candles. When going live you can choose on what candle(1min, 5min, hourly etc) you want to go live on, similarly when backtesting you can change the candle to whichever you prefer and backtest. But the number in the code will be basically the number of candles.

      APM,

      If you want to use the 5 min candle on the chart, you can right click on the chart and change the interval from 1 min to 5min.

      If you want to use a 5 min candle while going live, you will need to set it in the alert preferences box. Check this example.

      Buy: CLOSE > EMA (CLOSE, 34) AND SOPK(20, 3, 4, SIMPLE) > SOPD (20, 3, 4) AND REF (SOPK(20, 3, 4, SIMPLE), 1) < REF(SOPD(20, 3, 4, SIMPLE), 1) AND SOPD (20, 3, 4) > 30

  567. Aquif says:

    Hello. Since RSI below 30 may not always be a good signal to buy especially if your not closely monitoring the prices, I usually rely on RSI divergences ….So is it possible to create an expression to buy if there is an RSI divergence or may be a MACD or KST divergence?

  568. thavva says:

    Can you provide formula for below strategy.

    1. Buy when CLOSE > EMA(HIGH,40) and difference is not more than 2 points.
    2. Exit buy position when difference between trading price and EMA(High,40) is more than 5 points
    3. Buy again when prices is touching EMA(HIGH,40)
    4. Exit the buy position when difference between price and EMA(HIGH,4) is >= points.
    5. Close the position when closing price is < EMA(LOW,40) and initiate short.
    6. Follow same procedure for shorts to book profits for 5 points and enter again whince price touches EMA(LOW,40).

    Find the attached image for reference.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Thavva,

      Buy : Close>EMA(HIGH,40) AND EMA(HIGH,40)-CLOSE<2

      Buy exit: EMA(HIGH,40)-CLOSE>5

      Sell : CLOSE<EMA(LOW,40)

      Sell exit: CLOSE – EMA(LOW,40)>5

      Thavva, what you need to understand is that there is no way to write a code saying sell 5 points after buying, Sell, buy, sell exit , buy exit , everything has to be a code.

    How to avoid repeat Buy / Sell?

    If I have already sold a script, how to avoid selling it again on the second and third third signal generated by the logic?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Hi Deb,

      Check this blog to manage your script

      When you take a strategy live on algoZ, by default once a sell is initiated a new sell will come through only when there is an exit for the sell, i.e a new buy comes through.

      So you don’t have to worry about it…

      • Sibi Chakravarthy says:

        Hi Nithin,
        Firstly, congrats on bringing algoz.
        Being an engineer, I feel its THE BEST FEATURE. 😀

        Now moving on to my doubt,
        In ur previous comment u have mentioned that when algo is live,once a sell signal is initiated, a new sell signal will come thru only after an exit for the first sell.
        But you yourself have mentioned that this works only in “LIve”
        What should I do, so that my strategy works in the same way as “live” when i “backtest”? that is while backtesting also, my algo should nt give new signals unless i exit my position 🙂

  570. Nithin Kamath says:

    Dr Suhas had asked this query:

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I want to write strategy, but I am not able to fit my startegy in this algo. Anybody please let me know how to write this.
    1) I want to buy when closing of the candle is higher than highes of previous 9 candles & sell when closing of candle is lower than lows of previous 9 candles. This will be in hourly TF.
    2) Secondly buy will be only when the trend is uptrend confirmed by cross-over of 8 & 34 EMA in hourly TF. Sell will be vice-versa.
    3) In this system , exit from buy will be when candle closes below the lows of previous 9 candles with closing price below 8 EMA and exit from sell will be when candle closes above highes of previous 9 candles with closing price below 8 EMA.
    Please let me know how to write this strategy?

    Answer:

    Buy expression: CLOSE > MAXOF(MAX(HIGH,8), REF(HIGH,9)) AND EMA(CLOSE,8) > EMA (CLOSE,34)

    Sell expression: CLOSE MINOF(MIN(LOW,8), REF(LOW,9)) AND EMA (CLOSE,8) < EMA (CLOSE,34)

    Buy Exit: CLOSE < MINOF(MIN(LOW,8), REF(LOW,9))AND CLOSE < EMA (CLOSE,8)

    Sell Exit:CLOSE > MAXOF(MAX(HIGH,8), REF(HIGH,9)) AND CLOSE > EMA (CLOSE,8)

    in the same expression i want to use buy only when EMA 10 crosses EMA 30 days or vice versa the time period that i want to use in 5 or 15minutes candle

    2) Cross over of EMA 10 with EMA 30 days for 15 minutes candle with ADX crossing from 20 i.e buy or sell only when ADX is crossing from less than 20 to rising upward.

    also please let me know is it possible to set alert using this stretergy for all the stock listed in market watch or only i can set alart for stock which i have opened in the chart.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Arjun,

      Your queries are a little generic, can you be more specific.

      We can write something like CLOSE > DIGH(1)*0.995 for buy and CLOSE < DLOW(1)*1.005 to show when its nearing the day’s high or day’s low.

      For EMA you can use:
      EMA (CLOSE, 10) > EMA (CLOSE, 30) – for buy

  580. Faisal says:

    Dear Nithin,

    I would like to do trade on Nifty future on 5x 3 ema crossover system. If 3 ema crossover 5 ema buy and if 3ema come below 5 ema sell. Basically I would like to long / short 4 lots of nifty. Profit on 1st lot i would like to take on 50 points. 2nd lots profit on 100 points. 3rd lot profit on 150 points. 4th lot for trailing stop loss.

    It will be greately appreciated If your people will be able to make a code for the above.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Faisal, EMA crossover is pretty simple, also explained above:

      Buy: EMA(Close,5)>EMA(Close,3) Sell: EMA(Close,5)<EMA(Close,3)

      Buy exit: 0 Sell exit: 0

      Profit of 1st lot 2nd lot etc would not be possible as they are not really a technical analysis condition.

      But you can use the code above for buy/sell indicators and also backtest and see if it would have worked.

  582. AnilKumar says:

    Congratulations on starting this excellent feature! All this would help enhance a trader’s confidence. However, I feel Zerodha seems to be taking the new initiatives at the cost of ignoring the basic requirements.
    For example, I want to fully utilize my margin funds (leaving a cushion of say 5%). (This would be in Zerodha’s interest too.) However, there is huge difference between the margin blocked in the trading account (436K) and margin statement (512K) generated (both at EOD). SPAN calc(at browser based Zerodha trader) calculates a much lower amount (252K) for the same position. Can you please give the trader a confidence that she can take a position (without running the risk of a margin call/penalty) based on funds availability shown by trading account?

    Now the queries related to algoZ.

    1. Would you make this feature available on your browser based trading platform?
    2. Is it possible to calculate ratio of the prices of two securities (say Nifty and BankNifty) and apply technical indicators on this ratio?
    3. Where can I find the comprehensive list of keywords (eg Close, RSI, REF) that are used in coding?

    PS. Sorry for putting an out-of-context concern here. However, I have unable to get a satisfactory response so far.

    Thanks,
    Anil Kumar

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Anil,

      Am looking at your query on margin and will get back to that.

      about algoZ

      1. Presently not possible on browser based platform.

      2. You have to apply strategy to individual contracts and hence not possible to calculate as a ratio.

      3. The keywords are available in the manual, if anything specific do let me know. Also check out all the strategies that we have coded here.

    Hello zerodha.

    How can write strategy for different time frame . Suppose i want to write following strategy for 5 min candles.
    Also i want use Fibonacci retracement condition for ex buy IF close>38% level
    Buy;
    close>ema(close,110)&CCI(simple,14)>100

    Sell:
    close<ema(close,110)&CCI(simple,14)=-100<CCI(simple,14)<-500 (I want to only sell if CCI is greater than -100 on -ve scale for ex -110,-120)

    Where i can write Stop loss for buying and selling
    for buy close<EMA(Close,3)
    for sell close>EMA(close,3)
    Eagerly waiting for your valuable guidance.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sudarshan, on algoZ we cannot write strategies for different time frames. Strategies are independent of time frame and can be applied on any time frame.

      Your expressions are pretty much correct, except for small things.

      Buy: CLOSE > EMA(CLOSE,110) AND CCI(14, SIMPLE) > 100

      Sell: CLOSE < EMA (CLOSE,110) AND CCI(14, SIMPLE) < -100

      Buy Exit: CLOSE<EMA(CLOSE,3)

      Sell Exit: CLOSE>EMA(CLOSE,3)

      You decide the time frame to take a particular strategy live in the alert expression window. Have explained the same in this blog, check out Taking it live/Alert preference , you will see an option to set interval.

      While backtesting, the backtest result will be based on the chart, if the candle is 1 min, you get 1 min result, if candle is 5 min, the backtest would be based on 5 min interval..

      How to code the following
      1 – Highest price value (price value can be open, high. low close of bars) over last n bars
      2 – Lowest price value (price value open, high. low close of bars) over last n bars
      3 – Remove excess signals (ie, if I am already in sell and again if one of my sell entry conditions is met, I do not want o be prompted to sell again – similar to exrem in AFL)
      4 – How many bars before the current bar did the previous high of low appeared (in relation to points 1 and 2 above)
      5 – Can I use REF to refer back to values of indicators. If possible, how to get the previous peak value of indicator and the low value of indicator.
      6 – How to code the wait (wait 2 more bars after a condition is met before entry)

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      1 – Highest price value (price value can be open, high. low close of bars) over last n bars?

      Ans:
      “Will explain this with an example. Highest value among Open, High, Low, Close for a bar is obviously the High, so to calculate Highest Hugh value for say, 10 bars, the following script is recommended:
      MAXOF(MAX(HIGH,9), REF(HIGH, 10))”

      2 – Lowest price value (price value open, high. low close of bars) over last n bars

      Ans: MINOF(MIN(LOW, 9), REF(LOW, 10))

      3 – Remove excess signals (ie, if I am already in sell and again if one of my sell entry conditions is met, I do not want o be prompted to sell again – similar to exrem in AFL)

      Ans: Already handled in execution, once a sell signal is acted on, the next signal will either be a Sell Exit or a Buy, not a sell again. You might have to include a REF condition to this. Like, if the close price goes above the SMA 10 line, it means in the current candle, close is greater than SMA10, but in the previous candle it was lesser than SMA. So the code would look like CLOSE > SMA (CLOSE, 10) AND REF(CLOSE, 1) < REF(SMA(CLOSE, 10), 1). In this case even if you ignore the signal, it wont generate another one because the condition wouldnt hold true then.

      4 – How many bars before the current bar did the previous high of low appeared (in relation to points 1 and 2 above)
      Ans: You can use LASTIF(Condition), but would need more information to provide a complete code.

      5 – Can I use REF to refer back to values of indicators. If possible, how to get the previous peak value of indicator and the low value of indicator.
      Ans: Need more information. An example would be useful.

      6 – How to code the wait (wait 2 more bars after a condition is met before entry)
      Ans:
      use REF. if your condition is something like Close > Sma (Close, 10), with wait for 2 bars, the condition would look like REF (Close,2) > Ref (SMA(Close, 10), 2)

    2. As I am a zerodha trader,where I can go for these fecilities.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sasi,

      Basically you can make an expression if you have access to 2000 or 3000 candles.

      What I mean to say is presently for all stocks we have daily data from commencement. So assume you are analyzing daily historical chart of Reliance for 10 years. You will have 2500 daily candles( 250 days/yr and 10 years), so yes you run the strategy.

      But if you are looking at hourly candles, 2500 candles would mean 2500 hours which is around 400 days. We presently don’t give you 400 hourly candles data on algoZ, so this won’t work.

      We will be providing only online support for algoZ, all your queries will be answered here. Check this http://www.zerodha.com/z-connect/blog/view/algoz-a-simple-example gives you how to write/backtest/go live on a very simple strategy. The only thing that you will have to change is the code.

      Best of luck.

    Trading Price < Previous Close and Trading Price < Open = Sell

    Can you make a strategy for this?

    Thanks in advance

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Gopi,

      Presently you cannot code yesterday’s close or today’s open.

      But if you are doing it on a particular time frame and use the start/stop time as explained in this blog you can manage. You can keep start as 10.15am and end as 3.10pm. No new alerts come after 3.10pm, but if there is a position/order, it will continue to exist unless you cancel manually.

      If you are writing this on a candle basis

      Buy expression: Close>REF(Close,1) AND Close>Open

      Buy exit: 0

      Sell expression: Close<REF(Close,1) AND Close<Open

      Sell exit: 0

      You can also have a preset stop loss % as explained in the blog.

      Hopefully this helps.

    Pradeeep TV asked:

    Basically i want to use heikin-ashi charts, so my close, open, low and
    high are specified below —

    HA-Close = (Open(0) + High(0) + Low(0) + Close(0)) / 4

    HA-Open = (HA-Open(-1) + HA-Close(-1)) / 2

    HA-High = Maximum of the High(0), HA-Open(0) or HA-Close(0)

    HA-Low = Minimum of the Low(0), HA-Open(0) or HA-Close(0)

    Buy —> If the close goes above highest close of last 4 candles then buy.

    Sell —> If the close goes below lowest close of last 4 candles then sell

    Answer:

    For all those who don’t know Heiken-Ashi is a type of candle stick chart with the difference being in the following parameters.

    Close = (Open+High+Low+Close)/4
    Open = [Open (previous bar) + Close (previous bar)]/2
    High = Max (High,Open,Close)
    Low = Min (Low,Open, Close)

    Your condition is the below to buy/sell, which is based only on the close, so you really don’t need to worry about open, high, low.
    Buy —> If the close goes above highest close of last 4 candles then buy.
    Sell —> If the close goes below lowest close of last 4 candles then sell

    The below should be self explanatory.

    Buy expression:

    SET HAC = (OPEN+HIGH+LOW+CLOSE)/4
    HAC>MAXOF(REF(HAC,1), REF(HAC,2), REF(HAC,3), REF(HAC,4))

    Buy exit: 0

    Sell expression:

    SET HAC = (OPEN+HIGH+LOW+CLOSE)/4
    HAC < MINOF(REF(HAC,1), REF(HAC,2), REF (HAC,3), REF (HAC,4))

    Sell exit: 0

    You can check out the example above where I have mentioned the use of REF function. REF basically takes reference of the candle, so REF(HAC,1) would mean HAC for 1 candle before, REF(HAC,2) 2 candles before and so on.

      Sorry for the delay Atul,

      Here is the code below and calculated on 14 candles. You can change it to any you want.

      Buy expression:

      SET R= RSI(Close,14)

      SET N=R – (MINOF(MIN(R,13), REF(R,14)))

      SET D= (MAXOF(MAX(R,13), REF(R,14))) – (MINOF(MIN(R,13), REF(R,14)))

      SET STOCHRSI= N/D

      WPR(14)>-50 AND STOCHRSI>0.50

      SELL EXPRESSION:

      SET R= RSI(Close,14)

      SET N=R – (MINOF(MIN(R,13), REF(R,14)))

      SET D= (MAXOF(MAX(R,13), REF(R,14))) – (MINOF(MIN(R,13), REF(R,14)))

      pls answer me

      I have one another question

      can I write a strategy to buy above a certain price,to sell below a certain price of a particular scrip
      for eg:
      TATA STEEL TO BUY N LONG ABOVE RATE 310 ,TO SELL N SHORT BELOW 310

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      HI,
      CAN WE WRITE A VALUE ABOVE BUY AND VALUE BELOW SELL FOR A SCRIP FOR A DAY

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Firstly Sasi, This particular blog is for helping you write codes/programs and we are doing it as a value add to our customers. We will be replying to all of this at our convenience, we don’t guarantee reply in any fixed duration.

      You can’t write a strategy to buy above and below a price, because that is not really technical analysis. If you have a particular condition, you can set to buy above it or sell below it, like the EMA example you have given.

      You can set a buy/sell based on any of the previous candles, but can’t write above and below as you have mentioned in both the queries.

      Cheers.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      The EMA example is already explained above, do have a look at that also.

      Here is your expression:

      Buy expression: EMA(Close,200)>SMA(Close,1300)
      But exit: 0

      Sell expression: EMA(Close,200)<SMA(Close,1300)
      Sell exit: 0

    My strategy is:
    When 14 period ADX is above 25
    MacD with 26,13,6 values shows a buy/sell crossover respectively, and then the move is confirmed by below criteria to open a buy/sell position respectively
    Stock retraces at least 3 days from up/down trend (It can be between 3 and 5 days retracement) and then to take buy/sell position respectively when the price goes above/below previous days High/low respectively

    I hope there will be a code for my above strategy

      Amar, yes you if you are not able to see the edit option as shown in this

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Your description for the quote is not very clear, so ensure you backtest and see if it is performing the way you want to :

      Buy Expression:
      CLOSE > REF(HIGH,1) AND ADX(14) > 25 AND REF(ADX(14),1) < 25 AND MACD(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL) > 0 AND CLOSE < REF(CLOSE,-1) AND REF(CLOSE,-1) < REF(CLOSE,-2) AND REF(CLOSE,-2) < REF(CLOSE,-3)

      Buy exit: 0

      Sell Expression:
      CLOSE < REF(LOW,1) AND ADX(14) > 25 AND REF(ADX(14),1) < 25 AND MACD(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL) < 0 AND CLOSE > REF(CLOSE,-1) AND REF(CLOSE,-1) > REF(CLOSE,-2) AND REF(CLOSE,-2) > REF(CLOSE,-3)

    I WANT TO CODE THE STRATEGY 3 EMA AND 15 EMA CROSSOVER.
    HOW CAN I WRITE THE CODE WHEN –

    EMA(CLOSE,3) CROSS EMA(CLOSE,15) THEN I WILL BUY
    AND WHEN

    EMA(CLOSE,15) CROSS EMA(CLOSE,3) I WILL SELL

    TIME INTERVAL – DAILY

    REGARDS
    GAUTAM

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      As explained to Jimmy above, a pretty simple code:

      Buy expression: EMA(Close,3)>EMA(Close,15)
      Buy exit: 0

      Sell Expression: EMA(Close,3)<EMA(Close,15)
      Sell exit: 0

      Gautam, after writing, when you are backtesting the strategy, first open the historical chart which will by default give daily candles. Click on backtest as shown in the simple example. It will now show you backtested result for the above as per daily candles.

      If it is daily candle that you are using, you can’t take the strategy live, in the sense the chart will show you a buy/sell at the end of the day and you will have to execute it manually the next day.

      Cheers.

        I WANT TO CODE THE STRATEGY 3 EMA AND 15 EMA CROSSOVER.
        HOW CAN I WRITE THE CODE


        BUY AT 15:25 HRS IF EMA(CLOSE,3) CROSS EMA(CLOSE,15) ON DAILY CANDLE.

        AND

        SELL AT 15:25 HRS IF EMA(CLOSE,15) CROSS EMA(CLOSE,3) ON DAILY CANDLE.

        • Buy: EMA(Close,3)>EMA(Close,15) Buy exit: 0

          Sell: EMA(Close,3)Managing your script, you can set an execution time period.

          The thing though is that you will not be able to go live on a daily candle as the candle will be complete only at the end of the day and not at 3.25pm, if I am understanding your strategy right. If you want the system to give you an indicator on its own, you will need to run the strategy on intraday chart. If you want to run this on a daily candle, you will have to do it after the market closing and place a trade the next day when market opens.

    What is the code for gann hi lo indicator, it gives similar results as given by super trend indicator used by marketcalls.in

  599. Sebu says:

    Thanks for the great idea!

    Generally I use MACD of Short Period 12 and Long Period 26 with RSI Period 10.
    I buy @ cross over + RSI~30 (Increase the value of RSI from a lover range)
    I sell@ cross over + RSI~70 (Decrease the value of RSI from a higher range)
    Please make strategy for the expression.

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Sebu,

      You are looking at MACD crossover, buy if MACD crossover, provided the RSI has moved from less than 30 to more than 30 and similarly sell if RSI has moved from above 70 to below 70.

      For those of you who don’t understand MACD crossover and RSI, you can google for it. The thing is we are combining 2 strategies and we have to take a buy or sell only if both the strategies meet the conditions set.

      @sebu, you have given me the MACD line which is 12 and 26, but you haven’t given me the signal line, so will take the default 9.

      Code:

      Buy Expression:

      MACD(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL)>MACDSIGNAL(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI(Close,10)>30 AND REF(RSI(Close,10), 1)<30

      Buy exit: 0

      Sell Expression:

      MACD(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL)<MACDSIGNAL(26,12,9,EXPONENTIAL) AND RSI (CLOSE,10) < 70 AND REF(RSI(CLOSE,10),1)>70

      Sell exit: 0

      The above is actually pretty simple if you look at it. The new thing which is used here is the ” AND” expression. You can use all boolean logic like AND, NOT, OR etc. In this case AND because you want a buy/sell indicator only if all the conditions are met.

      Have explained about REF in the previous example, in the case of buy, you want to buy only if RSI was below 30 the previous candle and it is above 30 at the close of this candle. Do check out the REF example above, should clarify .

      Cheers

    Can you give strategy for:

    Buy: EMA(close 7) crossover EMA(14) + trailing stoploss at 1.5%

    Sell: EMA(close 7) crossbelow EMA(14) + trailing stoploss at 1.5%

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Jimmy, there is no features of trailing stop loss presently. But in your alert preference you can preset Stop loss%.

      Crossover of exponential moving averages are probably what most technical analysts, start off with. With these crossovers, if markets are trending in a big way it makes you money but in flat markets can again chop you.

      Your code:

      Buy: EMA(Close,7)>EMA(Close,14) Sell: EMA(Close,7)<EMA(Close,14)

      Buy exit: 0 Sell exit: 0

      Again exit as 0 because for ex, if you bought nifty at 5800 on a crossover at 5850 if a sell crossover happens, you not only exit what you had both also short another.

      Cheers,

  601. ZTrader says:

    Hello Nitin,

    I am not a programmer, so I will explain my strategy in layman terms and you please let me know is it possible to code this strategy..

    it is kind of breakout strategy….i want to place Stop Loss Buy pending order above previous bar’s High and Stop Loss Sell pending order below the previous bar’s low and if any of the order gets executed, the corresponding against order should automatically be the Stop Loss value for the Executed order.

    I hope you understand this strategy…do reply me…

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      This one is actually pretty simple if I got your query right.

      The idea is to buy if the price goes higher than high of the previous candle and sell if it goes lower than the previous low.

      Good thing with this is that again you are going with the nearest trend. If you are using 1 minute candles there might be a lot of buy and sell signals, ensure you choose the right candle for a strategy like this.

      The code:

      Buy expression: CLOSE>REF(HIGH,1) Sell Expression: CLOSE<REF(LOW,1)
      Buy exit : 0 Sell exit: 0

      A REF function basically takes you to any previous candle, in this case(High,1) will give you a reference of highest 1 candle back(previous candle).

      If you mentioned REF(High,3), it will take reference of the highest point 3 candles back.

      Similarly for the Sell, REF(LOW,1) will give you a reference point of low of 1 candle back. So if the present candle closes below the previous candle low,you automatically get an indicator.

      exit expression is kept at 0 , because you want to exit and also reverse the trade if the opposite indicator initiates. So if you have bought 1 lot, when the sell indicator comes, you exit your 1 lot and take a fresh short of 1 lot.

      Hope this clarifies.

    • ZTrader says:

      Thank you very much for your prompt and swift reply.

      You got it right, but instead of previous candle like REF(HIGH,1) or REF(HIGH,3) or REF(HIGH,4)…is it possible to mention time…for example I want to place Stop Loss Buy pending order above the High of 11:15 Bar (15-Minute Timeframe chart and when the 11:15 bar closes I want to place Buy Stop above the 11:15 Bar’s High and Sell Stop below the 11:15 Bar’s Low)….can you please explain how to code this simple concept….Thanks in advance…

      You guys are really doing good job….I really appreciate it

    • ZTrader says:

      Also please do let me know, is it possible to place Stop Loss and Target Profit for the orders

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Check this http://www.zerodha.com/z-connect/blog/view/managing-your-script

      How to place Stop loss is shown above.

      Your sell expression is your exit order for your buying position and at sell expression you can take a fresh sell also or vice versa.

      Otherwise you can also mention a buy exit expression, which will be your exit for buy and sell exit for sell..

  602. Dip says:

    As given by you in the simple example, a 14 EMA crossover gives you a lot of unwanted signals. What if I want to sell on 14EMA crossover if RSI is above 60 and buy on 14EMA crossover, if RSI below 40?
    How do I code it and can you also share the backtest result.?

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      14 EMA crossover will give a lot of buy/sell and you might get chopped when markets are flat.

      RSI(Relative Strength Index) as investopedia explains is a technical momentum indicator that compare the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset. In simple words, RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and typically if the value is more than 70 it is said to be overbought and if lesser than 30 oversold. So according to RSI, it is not a good time to buy if above 70 or to short if below 30.

      So what Dip wants to do is, he wants to buy when 14 EMA is crossing over only if RSI is below 40, the RSI condition acts like a secondary condition to filter trades by taking on those crossovers where the contract is close to oversold, but definitely not overbought.

      Similarly he wants to sell on a crossover only if RSI above 60, close to being overbought but definitely not oversold.

      This additional logic is a good filter to have for someone starting off on technical analysis. The number 40 or 60, you have to decide based on backtesting.

      RSI again has a time period to it which Dip has forgot to mention, but since we are looking at 14 EMA, will assume he meant a 14 candle RSI.

      For the above example:

      Your buy expression would be: Close>EMA(Close,14) AND RSI(Close,14)<40

      Your sell expression would be : Close < EMA(Close,14) AND RSI(Close,14) > 60

      Your buy exit expression: 0

      Your sell exit expression: 0

      Basically when you mention a 0 on the buy/sell exit expression, your exit for the buy would be your sell expression and vice versa.

      So for example, if your preset order size is 1 lot, if your buy expression gives you a prompt, you buy 1 lot and when the sell expression comes, you sell the 1 lot you are holding and take a fresh selling 1 lot.

      You can follow the steps in this blog to save this expression, backtest and take live.

      Backtest result for the last 22 days intraday on 1 min candles:

      1st trade Short at 5610 , buy at 5509 profit of 101 points.

      2nd trade Short at 5629, if you had put a 50 point SL, loss of 50 points.

      Net profit of around 50 points, but do note that strategies like these which work on moving averages can be choppy in flat markets.

      Hope this helps,

      Cheers,

    Hello Nitin , I wanted to understand the following points :

    1. There was a plugin available from Ami broker to your Trading Terminal Software. Is it still available?
    If Yes , how does a user purchase Data , analyze it and back test it in this module?

    2. Can a code written in Ami Broker AFL Language be used in your Software Algoz? If not is there any way out possible to do so? Since we have so many codes written and they employ a lot of different charting tools and indicators how do we integrate the two systems?

    3. Are you planning on coming up with a Data Subscription for charting software real time as well as past historical data.

    Which Language is AlgoZ based on? It is a charting software with features like Amibroker/MT4 etc

    Thanks
    Dheeraj

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      DJ,

      1. For the AMI plugin, you will have to get in touch with our partners Global data feeds, subscribe to live data from them and analyze/backtest it on amibroker.

      2. AFL language would be different compared to what is available on algoZ. algoZ is simpler than AFL, but you will have to code this separately. We will be helping you understand how to write codes on algoZ in the tutorial section. These 2 are separate systems and can’t really be integrated for now.

      3. The charting/programming will be available on your trading platform and you will get data by default. In the present beta version, we are giving 22 days intraday data and 1 yr daily historical chart. In the next version you will have 10 months data of intraday and historical to backtest from commencement.

      Click here to know the details of the programming language .

        Hi Nithin,

        I want a buy signal to be generated if the price moves above 5 days high with heavy volume in five minute candles.
        And a sell signal if price moves below 5 days low with heavy selling.
