Direct your profits before they direct you!


Most derivatives traders use options strategies to trade in the market systematically where risking a Portfolio is never an option! So why not strategize them to cover the risk and maximize the profit? The Smart Strategies is a tool to level up your option strategies to help you minimize the risks involved in option positions and target the maximum profits. 

What are Smart Strategies?

Smart Strategies is a tool that allows users to create their strategies and automate their execution. With this, you can execute your options strategy with pre-defined entry and exit parameters. When we say pre-defined means that strategies can be tailored before their execution, where before entering into trades you get to put your desired premium and exit by placing Target/Stop Loss to make the most of your trade. 


Following are the parameters that you require to fill in to create your strategies- 

  1. Search for the name of your favourite script.
  2. Select from Pre-defined Strategies or create your own Strategy.
  3. Specify the desired premium that you want the strategy to execute for that particular strategy (if the said strategy does not meet the requirement, orders will not be placed).
  4. Specify exit parameters such as target price and trailing stop loss(the best feature to limit your loss)
  5. Then you can check your submitted strategy in the Strategy P&L section.

Note- Currently, we’re only operative on the web for Smart Strategies.
