I like trading and long term investing too. I have recently deployed two algos from stratzy. One is skewhunter and another is E-Queue credit spread. But not a single trade was executed by the E-Queue credit spread algo. Is it okay or can I go for any other algo with least correlation to skew hunter?
Apologies for the delayed response, and welcome to the Stratzy Community!
Please note that Algos do not generate trades every day by default. A trade is executed only when the strategy’s predefined logic and entry conditions are met during live market conditions.
You can check whether a new trade signal has been generated for the day, or after you’ve deployed your Algo, by referring to the Historic Returns section on the respective Algo page.
I deployed Zen Credit Spread Overnight on Monday morning, 7 Sep, but it didn’t take a trade. However, I can now see in the Past Trades section that a trade was taken on Monday.
Can you please explain ?
In the Past Trades section, below the calendar view, you can see the positions taken by the algo along with their entry and exit dates.
As shown in the screenshot, the trade was entered on 4 Sep at 10:15 AM and exited on 7 Sep at 2:53 PM. So, the trade shown on 7 Sep was actually an existing position that was entered on 4 Sep, not a new entry taken on 7 Sep.
Since you deployed Zen Credit Spread Overnight on 7 Sep, after the entry had already been made on 4 Sep, the algo did not take the existing trade in your account. It will wait for the next valid entry.
In short:
Trades in the Past Trades section are displayed based on their exit date.
Your orders will execute for the next new entry generated after you have deployed the algo.
I want to start algo trading on my account, initially want to test with 1 lot using my python program, how to deploy the program in algo setup and where i can get the api data from iifl to deploy the program.
can you share all the initial steps for my customised algo implementation.
Just to clarify, Stratzy is a Blackbox Algo Provider, so the Algos available on the platform come with predefined strategy logic and criteria and are ready to be deployed as-is.
At the moment, customising or deploying your own Python-based strategy through Stratzy, including through marketplaces where Stratzy Algos are listed, is not supported.
You can, however, explore the pre-defined Stratzy Algos available on the platform and deploy them directly.
