Thread : Trading Applications that I use on a daily basis🧵

1) After putting a detailed post on hardware & multi-monitor setup. Few asked for softwares I use for trading.

So I am listing softwares/apps which I find the most useful for trading & investing

2) Trading View or Kite app

I use trading view for intraday charts.

As I trade intraday, I use the 5 min time frame.

My chart is simple with 20 sma plotted on it along with CPR(central pivot range)

Price > 20 sma & CPR indicates bullish trend for intraday & vice-versa

3) Icharts

As I majorly trade option premiums(short volatility or theta decay strategies)

I keep a track of combined premium of strangle using @iChartsIndia

Combined premium should be trending down & below VWAP to create a strangle

4) QuantsApp

As I need to provide analysis on TV channel.

I need to analyse overall market breadth, futures data & option chain activitiy.

@quantsapp provides

Futures Data : Long Builtup/Short Builtup
Options Data : Max Call OI/ Put OI
Market Breadth : For overall sentiment

5) Spider

I used @SpiderSoftIn to scan momentum stocks for intraday.

Spider helps in identfiying :

stocks hitting 52 week high/ low
Stocks making day high/low
Stocks with large buying single orders

6) Bloomberg

Helps in quick real time news.

Bloomberg is useful only if you trade mutliple markets & need access to various data quickly.

Bloomberg is an expensive software costing around 25 L per year.

One can skip bloomberg as cost is too high

7) GreekSoft

I use Greeksoft for multi leg order execution. It allows you to punch 1000+ lots of strangles/ straddles as a single order.

One can put SL on combined premium, do order slicing & many more such things.

Needed only if you trade big qty multi leg option trades

8) Ranking System (Proprietary)

Use an inhouse ranking system based on simple concepts of momentum,trend & derivatives data across time frames.

It is available only to IIFL members under our franchise(for free). To know more can check below :

9) Opstra by @Definedge

Opstra is useful in

-Creating option payoff

- Has historical result calendar with time

-Volatility Skew Analysis

10) Fundamental Data

a) @screener_in

Screener is useful in scanning stocks based on Fundamental parameters & also provides a quick overview of the company.

You can quickly find good companies based on fundamental parameters

10 b ) Stock Edge

@mystockedge is useful in

scanning bulk/ block deals
Checking top investor portfolios
Check company filings
IPO notes
Concall analysis

10 c) drvijaymalik.com

@drvijaymalik has built a great framework to analyse company in depth based on various fundamental parameters.

I personally use it to scan fundamental stocks.

11) I hope you found the above thread useful.

Goodluck on your Trading Journey !
