Algorithmic Options Trading in the Indian Market (Udemy.com)

The much awaited and sought after Options Trading course for the Indian market is here!!

Implementing options trading strategy algorithmically is hard owing to the complexity associated with the derivative nature of option. Therefore most algorithmic trading courses focus on stock and forex asset classes while avoiding derivatives. However, this course will not only introduce you to trading options algorithmically on both Zerodha and Angel One platforms but also help you gain a thorough understanding of options trading tools to help implement complex strategies such as Bear Spread.

You can expect to gain the following skills from this course

• Basics of options trading and option valuation

• Implement option valuation using the Black Scholes model and Monte Carlo Simulation

• Calculate implied volatility using the Black Scholes model.

• Extracting option chain for any underlying

• Using parallel programming/multi threading to stream and store options market data

• Understanding and fetching order level margin requirements

• Advanced order types (Basket)

• End to end design and deployment of advanced strategies (Bear Spread)

I have created this course based on the strong and persistent demand for an options trading course from my existing students who trade in the Indian market. This course seeks to provide you with the required tools to deploy options trading strategy in the Indian market and gain an edge by leveraging both Zerodha and Angel One API's advanced functionalities. The emphasis throughout this course is to imbibe sound risk management techniques in your strategy to cap downside while maximizing potential upside.

The course covers and implements Bear Spread strategy which is reasonably difficult to implement as it requires a number of tasks to be performed in tandem (e.g. extracting options chain, streaming options market data, identifying option contracts of interest, generating signals and executing orders). The course explains how such strategies can be built step by step and how the various API tools can be used efficiently to ensure that the various parts of the strategy work harmoniously.
