Sending Option Orders and Exiting Option Orders in Algomojo Platform using Amibroker

8 min read

This tutorial helps you to understand the options trading module and the requirements to set up and send and exit option orders from Amibroker in a systematic way. This coding framework provides the basic foundation to entry and exit option order from Amibroker for Algomojo Trading Platform

Understanding PlaceFOOptionsOrder API

PlaceFOOptionsOrder api is used to send ATM, ITM, OTM Options Order. Currently PlaceFOOptionsOrder is supported by brokers like Aliceblue,Tradejini,Zebu & Enrich.

Here is the sample request and response for PlaceFOOptionsOrder

For detailed information on Algomojo API’s visit the API Documentation section

Request example :

{
    "api_key":"c1997d92a3bb556a67dca7d1446b70",
    "api_secret":"5306433329e81ba41203653417063c",
    "data":
      {
        "strg_name":"Test Strategy",
        "s_prdt_ali":"BO:BO||CNC:CNC||CO:CO||MIS:MIS||NRML:NRML",
        "Tsym":"NIFTY07JAN2114000CE",
        "exch":"NFO",
        "Ttranstype":"B",
        "Ret":"DAY",
        "prctyp":"MKT",
        "qty":"75",
        "discqty":"0",
        "MktPro":"NA",
        "Price":"0",
        "TrigPrice":"0",
        "Pcode":"NRML",
        "AMO":"NO"
      }
}

Response example :

{
    "NOrdNo": "200810000277991",
    "stat": "Ok"
}

Option Offset Control

one can use the offset to select the ATM, ITM,OTM Options.

In order to make the execution logic smoother and smarter following Execution Logic is preferred for Option Order Entry and Exit. One can modify the Execution Logic to their comfort. The below logic is just a prototype.

Execution Logic is coded only for

1) Long Call Option Entry,
2) Long Put Option Entry
3) Exit Long Call Option (Square off Based on the Qty from Position Book)
4) Exit Long Put Option (Square off Based on the Qty from Position Book)

Execution Logic for Placing Options Order

Execution Logic for Exiting Options Order

Setting up the Options Test Execution AFL File

1)Copy the AFL under the name Algomojo Options Test Module.afl and keep it under Amibroker\Formulas\Algomojo folder

_SECTION_END();

3)Apply the Algomojo Options Test Module.afl on the Charts

4)Now right click over the charts and set the Client ID, user_apikey, api_secretkey and set the required quantity

5)Ensure the Symbol File Path Exists. This is the path where the executed symbols CE and PE Options will get saved in a CSV file for later squareoff.

AlgomojoCE.csv and AlgomojoPE.csv will be saved separately only if the execution status is in complete mode. If the order is rejected then the file will not be saved with an executed symbol.

6)Enable the Algo Mode

Aliceblue Monthly Option Expiry Settings

And If in case you are using Aliceblue Weekly Options then you have to use YYMDD format

Now you can send Long Call and Long Put Orders from the press of the button from the properties box and also exit the positions by pressing the Exit Call and Exit Put Buttons which will eventually squareoff the positions based on current open positions.
