Performance Summary

The "Ratio-Fluxer Credit Spread Expiry" algorithm seeks to capitalize on short-term imbalances and inefficiencies in the options market by identifying specific conditions related to implied volatility (IV) and price action to generate potential trading opportunities in NIFTY options. The strategy uses a combination of factors derived from option implied volatility, price action, and statistical analysis to generate a normalized "alpha" signal. This signal is then combined with other technical indicators to identify potential entry points for trades. The algorithm takes a contrarian approach, seeking to fade unsustainable market conditions which are quantified using ratios of IV entropy, imbalances in curvature, and skewness. The algorithm aims to identify opportunities where implied volatility might revert to a more sustainable level. It does this by analysing the "alpha" signals. This algorithm trades a credit spread on NIFTY options, specifically looking for opportunities to profit from the time decay of options contracts with a focus on expiry. The trades are triggered based on the calculated "alpha" and skewness of the implied volatility in the options chain. A credit spread involves selling a near-the-money option and buying a further out-of-the-money option of the same type (either puts or calls) with the same expiration date. This strategy benefits when the price of the underlying asset remains relatively stable or moves in a direction that allows the sold option to expire worthless, while the bought option limits potential losses. A credit spread benefits if there is low volatility in the market and it trades in a range-bound manner.
