Thread : Tech Stack at our Company

1) Technology is at the core of how we approach trading & we consider ourselves as much a technology company as a trading firm.

The tech team has remained under the hood so let me introduce the team & the tech stack used.

#Technologies
2) Django :

We use the Django framework for most of our web apps (in house scanners) as it encourages rapid development & clean, pragmatic design.
3) Python

Python is extensively used for backtesting as various open-source modules like pandas, NumPy, Talib, Backtrader, FFN, Matplotlib, and many more data analytics & visualization tools are built on top of it.

Python helps us in analysing large datasets in a easy way
4) Postgres DataBase:

Postgres database nodes to store and retrieve a gigantic amount of data our market data API’s fetches from the exchange in real-time

Data across multiple instruments, across multiple expiries,across multiple strikes for last many years is stored
5)Machine Learning:

Bit of ML to optimise entry & exit conditions of specific systems

Decision Trees are employed to split data continuously according to a certain parameter.

Tools : Scikit-learn, TensorFLow & Keras
6)AWS Cloud Server & Digital Ocean

Used for storing all data that is generated & hosting virtual servers ( for websites & internal applications)
7a) Scheduling (Cron Job):

Under the hood of our various automated trading algos, alerts systems, risk management systems lie countless cron jobs which help schedule tasks.

Software interrupts are employed to manage synchronous events for our Algo trading bots.
7b ) Risk Management:

A master node collects all the events& logs them on a dashboard as a centralized knowledge hub for all open positions.

To keep check of an unsystematic risk event like exchange blackout etc the master dashboard provides endpoints to manually manage trades.
8) So I provided a quick & broad, overview of our stack.

In future posts, I’ll explain them in more detail & also introduce you to the tech team(not active much on twitter) & ask them to write detailed tech blog for tech geeks

A Brutal Day in the History of Sensex 0 DTE😳

Option selling is getting tougher by the day.

No matter where you set your stop loss, it feels like it's destined to get hit. And if you don’t set one? You could blow up your account in minutes.

Let’s dive into what happened on September 20, 2024 and ways to survive such days(Thread)Image
1) Sensex opened at 83,611 and dropped 400 points in just 20 minutes!

But that was just the beginning.
The market then staged an incredible rally, surging over 1,300 points from the day's low to hit a high of 84,515 and again fell 1200 points to 83300 and again rallied to 84600

Crazy Volatility🎢Image
2) During this upmove, 84,000 CE option exploded from 36 to around 700
A 20x move in a single day!

But this was just the beginning😱 Image

Thread : Days to Remember🧵

1) I saw few tweets saying that this is the most difficult market ever.

As a trader, we have signed up for these risks & All we can do is be prepared & manage them

Lets have a look at days when markets action was crazier than current times !
2) 18th may 2009

Markets opened at 9:55 AM as this was the market opening time at that time
Nifty immediately hit an 20 % upper circuit at 10.01 am and the markets froze.
So markets were open only for 6 minutes.

3) 24th Aug 2015 (Vega Risk)

On 24th August 2015, the Indian markets declined close to 5.92%.

Nifty around 490 points but something unusual happened on that day.

Far otm Call options shot up inspite of such a huge fall😲

Vix shot up 64%.

Thread : From +5% to -1% for April.. Mistakes made & lessons learnt🧵

1) I was up 5% on capital for April till 2nd week but in last week went from +5% to -1%

So what went wrong, what mistakes I did & the lesson learnt !

#trading
2) I was having a great month & that made me more complacement as I made around 24% returns in last 4 months

As Paul Tudor Jone says

“My biggest losses have always come after I have had a great period & I started to think that I knew something”
3) So what went wrong ?

Tuesday :
BNF crossed 37000 & I sold 36500 put as per my system

But BNF reversed in last 30 mins & my otm stop (36000) got triggered.

I exited hedge as I thought this is just a pullback but BnF kept tanking & lost around 2% on capital on Tue

Thread: What can we traders learn from Sachin

1) @sachin_rt is undoubtedly one of the greatest batsmen of all time & has played several amazing knocks. But one that stands out is his 241* at Sydney. He did not play a single cover drive in the entire innings

#SachinTendulkar
2) Look at his stance on the crease. Look at the balance. Perfect. Simply elegant. Looks so pleasing to the eye.

Even @bhogleharsha once said, “When Sachin hits a cover drive, the world seems all the more beautiful.”
3) But in the series against Australia. Sachin had been getting out by trying to drive the ball outside off.

He had scored just 88 runs in the previous three matches and had registered 2 ducks as well. So he decided that he needs to change something to score more runs
