This tutorial provides instructions on how to utilize simple buy and sell trading signals in Spot/Future charts to place option orders (including ATM, ITM, and OTM options) on the Algomojo platform. Implementing this system can help traders mitigate risk, particularly in the event of unexpected market movements that may result in significant losses. Additionally, implementing ATM or ITM option buying strategies, as opposed to futures, may help to reduce the risk of extreme black swan events and significantly mitigate the potential for large gap up or gap down risks when carrying forward positions.
Features of the Options Execution Module
1)Simple Drag and Drop Module on top of any Amibroker trading strategy with the proper buy,sell,short,cover defined variables.
2)Place Smart Option Orders to intelligent send orders by manipulating the current existing positions.
3)Place Larger Option Orders by Splitting Larger Orders into multiple small orders.
4)Option Strike calculation at Amibroker end (Trades can configure the Underlying symbol as Spot./Futures) based on their trading requirement) accordingly, options strikes will be calculated.
Supported Brokers
All Algomojo Supported Brokers
Supported Amibroker Version: 6.0 or above
Amibroker Option Buying Settings for Placing Ordes in ATM Options (Long Only Options Strategy)
Trades can control the CE/PE Offset Parameters to place orders in various option strikes. To place orders in ATM options one has to set the Offset value as “0” as shown below

To Build this module we need 2 components
1)Trading System with Buy/Sell/Short/Cover Signals
2)Option Execution Module that needs to be drag and dropped over the Trading System
1)Building your Trading System
Apply the Trading System with your Buy/Sell/Short/Cover variables on the charts.
Here is the sample EMA Crossover Trading System with Buy,Sell,Short,Cover variables.
_SECTION_BEGIN("EMA Crossover Strategy");
// Param controls for EMA values
p1 = Param("EMA1", 10, 1, 200, 1);
p2 = Param("EMA2", 20, 1, 200, 1);
// Param controls for EMA line colors
col1 = ParamColor("EMA1 Color", colorRed);
col2 = ParamColor("EMA2 Color", colorBlue);
// Calculate EMAs
EMA1 = EMA(C, p1);
EMA2 = EMA(C, p2);
// Plot EMAs
Plot(EMA1, "EMA1", col1, styleThick);
Plot(EMA2, "EMA2", col2, styleThick);
// Set position size
SetPositionSize(100, spsShares);
// Generate buy/sell signals
Buy = Cross(EMA1, EMA2);
Sell = Cross(EMA2, EMA1);
// Generate short/cover signals
Short = Sell;
Cover = Buy;
//Generate Signals only on close of the candle
Buy = Ref(Buy,-1);
Sell = Ref(Sell,-1);
Short = Ref(Short,-1);
Cover = Ref(Cover,-1);
// Plot buy/sell signals
PlotShapes(IIf(Buy, shapeSquare, shapeNone),colorGreen, 0, L, Offset=-40);
PlotShapes(IIf(Buy, shapeSquare, shapeNone),colorLime, 0,L, Offset=-50);
PlotShapes(IIf(Buy, shapeUpArrow, shapeNone),colorWhite, 0,L, Offset=-45);
PlotShapes(IIf(Sell, shapeSquare, shapeNone),colorRed, 0, H, Offset=40);
PlotShapes(IIf(Sell, shapeSquare, shapeNone),colorOrange, 0,H, Offset=50);
PlotShapes(IIf(Sell, shapeDownArrow, shapeNone),colorWhite, 0,H, Offset=-45);
// Plot candlestick chart
Plot(C, "Price", colorWhite, styleCandle);
_SECTION_END();
Note: Buy/Sell/Short/Cover parameters are mandatory without that execution will not happen properly
If in case your trading system supports only Buy and Sell and you don’t want to use short and cover variables, in that case, use the below-mentioned logic where initialize short and cover variables to zero.
Buy = your buy trading logic ;
Sell = your sell trading logic ;
short =0;
cover =0;2)Main Option Execution Module
Copy the Main Execution Module to Amibroker\Formulas\Algomojo folder. Save the AFL under the name Algomojo Spot Or Future Signals to Option Orders.afl
Now Drag and Drop the Module on top of your Charting with Buy/Sell Trading System

4)Enter the Spot Symbol, Expiry Date, Strike Interval, Offset, and Trade Delay
Note : Ensure while entering the Option Expiry Format. Login to Algomojo Terminal and check out the weekly and monthly option format and enter the expiry date accordingly.
For Aliceblue account holders Monthly Option Symbol Format: NIFTY21JAN14500CE
Hence the Expiry Date needs to be entered as 21JAN
For Aliceblue Account holders weekly Option Symbol Format: NIFTY2111414500CE
Hence the Expiry Date needs to be entered as 21114
For Tradejini and Zebu Account Holders Monthly Option Symbol Format: NIFTY28JAN2114500CE
Hence the Expiry Date needs to be entered as 28JAN21
For Tradejini and Zebu Account Holders Monthly Option Symbol Format: NIFTY14JAN2114500CE
Hence the Expiry Date needs to be entered as 14JAN217)Bingo Now you can Send ATM Option Orders from Amibroker by connecting any of your Buy/Sell Trading System. To Send ITM/OTM Option Orders to adjust the offset parameters from the Properties section
…while ((GetPerformanceCounter()/1000 – tradetime) < timer)….
Error 13. Endless loop detected in WHILE loop
?
It is not an endless loop it runs the timer with 3 seconds delay to fetch the status of the order once the order is placed.
I extracted only timer:
RequestTimedRefresh(1, False);
timer = 3; //3 seconds for providing delay after placing order
tradetime=GetPerformanceCounter()/1000;
while ((GetPerformanceCounter()/1000 – tradetime) < timer)
{
_TRACE("\nTest");
//Error 13. Endless loop detected in WHILE loop
}
I don’t think it is an endless loop. In my case Im using Amibroker 6.38 version and it works just fine.
i am getting this error. it is not able to locate the formula/include folder. how to make it recognize. the moment i am dragging and dropping on my buy and sell affl it is giving the error. I have pasted the header execution in include folder
Include is the default folder you can find inside Amibroker/fomulas/include If you are not able to find it then create the folder.
If you don’t have the include folder then create one.
Hi Rajendra this code is working fine on intraday hoever positional carry dosent work..It dosent squareoff previous day order..pls help
HI Rajendran. Can I do Backtesting of my Strategy for the Options using above AFL
Above code is only for execution purposes only.
sir how to put offset to buy 3Strikes deep ITM in both Call and Put
Negative offset controls indicate ITM and Positive offset indicates OTM
For Example
Offset = +3 then it points to 3 strike wide OTM options
Offset = -3 then it points to 3 strike wide ITM options.
Hope this helps.
Sir, you are provide code for six type of signal like 1)Buy Call and Exit Long Put Options, 2)Buy Call Options, 3)Exit Long Call Options,4) Long Put Options and Exit Long Call Options,5)Buy Put Options and 6)Exit Long Put, but for trading trendwise , there are other two types of signal may comes like in uptrend 7) Buy Call and Exit Long Call Options and in downtrend 8)Long Put Options and Exit Long Put Options signal, we need these extra two types of signal when our strategy takes both trend signal in a singal strategy instead of switching to take only buy long calls and put long calls every time when trend change direction. Hoe you provide the other two tyes signal code. Thanks in advance sir.
