I wondered how I could get the pnl statement from my Finvasia account and plot those nice equity and drawdown curves without downloading the CSV files. So, I thought writing a tutorial on automating this would help others too. In this, we will use Selenium and requests and plot these curves.
Step 1: Import libraries and create a driver as shown here; you will need to install these libraries first. Use these links

There is always the uncertainty that your 8-10 years tested strategy won't work next year. In terms of data, what you had observed was the data points syncing in place to give you an equity curve.
If you want to see what may happen if you weren't so lucky, just change the... ... sequence of data points and generate new equity curve. If you sample these data points in a different way you will get different equity curve, different drawdown. A common way to achieve this is to use 'Monte Carlo Simulation.'

Note: this is very crude definition of

phoenix at 191% gross since March 1, 2021. While all my other systems struggled in the market, this system outperformed. Mind the 4-5 months of medium duration drawdown 😬. If I was unlucky, it could have extended for 300+days as the simulation tells me. High performance strategy can go in longer drawdown period

Module 3-B (Bonus)

In this Bonus Module, I will attempt to teach you how to write an algorithm to create a Stock Screener based on @markminervini 's Trend Template from his book Trade Like A Stock Market Wizard.

+ Some of the readers asked about how to create a stock screener. So, I thought before jumping to the cloud and deploying an algorithm on the cloud, I should address this. Whatever algorithm we develop in this module, we will deploy it on the cloud in Module number 4.

Python makes it very easy to analyze and visualize time series data when you’re a beginner. It's easier when you don't have to install python on your PC (that's why it's a nano course, you'll learn python... ... on the go). You will not be required to install python in your PC but you will be using an amazing python editor, Google Colab Visit colab.research.google.com

This course is for anyone out there who is confused, frustrated, and just wants this python/finance thing to work!

Zerodha backed Streak, an "strategic" trading platform, launches a new version in November 2021 and Upstox too announced partnership with Streak.

As per latest post by Nithin Kamath, they are keeping an option to disable Trading API access to retail clients... ... but as per SEBI's consultation paper in December, brokers can still provide platform, as they are a compliant entity. As much as I hate to say, but Zerodha takes the first step and an early mover and that's why they are the best.

This guy gets appreciation and possibly makes money only after he reaches from one point to another.

But if his entire focus is on :
1. Not falling down the rope.
2. Keeps on thinking to reach the other end
..contd ... of the rope as quickly as possible.
He could possibly mess up.

But if his entire focus is on maintaining the balance and saying present with the each-and-every move he takes his chances of succeeding increase.

Hedging a portfolio with put options:

You buy put options because you think they are cheap and you want downside protection.

In that case, you are looking to use the skewed payoff of the put option to protect your portfolio from a large downside move and not capping the upside. If you want it cheaper, than an understanding of option pricing is required to know when or where a put option tend to be cheap.
But, if we just want to protect the downside risk, we will assume that it's just a premium we have to pay to protect out capital.
