Performance Summary

Imagine you're a roadside fruit vendor who wants to make a little extra money overnight. You notice that prices for mangoes and bananas tend to be stable, but might fluctuate slightly. So, instead of betting on one specific fruit going up or down, you decide to sell both mangoes *and* bananas at a slightly lower price, hoping they stay within a predictable range. As long as neither fruit price swings wildly up or down, you profit from the difference between your selling price and where you bought the fruit, like a small "premium" for bearing the risk. If mangoes soar in price or bananas become worthless, you might lose money, but you're counting on things staying calm overnight. This algorithm is designed to trade options on the stock market index, Nifty 50. Specifically, it executes what's called a "short strangle" strategy, which involves selling both a call option (the right to buy) and a put option (the right to sell) on the index, both outside of the current market price. This strategy typically works best when the market is expected to be relatively stable, with minimal price fluctuations. The goal is to collect a premium from the sale of these options, profiting if the index price stays within a certain range until the options expire.
