How does the system determine prices for Entry, Exit, Stop Loss, and Target Profit?

Lightbox image

Entry:

  • Time based entry – closing of last minute
  • Time based exit – closing of last minute
  • Re-entry – same as entry
  • On the days of Muhurat trading or illiquid scrips – the last tick of last close will be considered.
  • Since the entry time is 09:30, the system uses the 09:29 closing price (25,180) to determine the strike.
    • Spot considered: 25,180
    • ATM strike: 25,200
  • Final selected legs:
  • 25200 CE
  • 25200 PE

(b) Leg Entry: The entry price for each leg will be determined using the previous 1-minute candle’s closing value relative to the strategy's configured entry time.

Logic:

  • At the scheduled entry time (e.g., 09:30), the system fetches the closing price of the previous minute candle (e.g., 09:29).
  • This closing price becomes the entry reference price for the leg.
  • The order will be placed at the average price derived from this closing value.

Example:

  • Entry Time: 09:30
  • Entry Price Reference Time: 09:29
  • Closing Value of 09:29 Candle: 100

Result:

  • At 9:30 the entry for the leg will be executed at an average price of 100.

(c) Leg Exit:

  • Time: The exit price for each leg will be determined using the previous 1-minute candle’s closing value relative to the strategy's configured exit time.

Logic:

  • At the scheduled exit time (e.g., 02:30), the system fetches the closing price of the previous minute candle (e.g., 02:29).
  • This closing price becomes the exit reference price for the leg.
  • The order will be placed at the average price derived from this closing value.

Example:

  • Exit Time: 02:30
  • Exit Price Reference Time: 02:29
  • Closing Value of 02:29 Candle: 100

Result:

  • At 9:30 the entry for the leg will be executed at an average price of 100.
