1 Strategy
name your strategy and (optionally) start from a template
Name your strategy descriptively (shown in the Strategies page).
Symbol is the underlying — every Step-2 instrument inherits it; override per-row if you need to mix.
Template seeds Steps 2-6 with a recipe; tweak any field afterwards.
2 Instruments to watch
each becomes a referenceable symbol in conditions (e.g. NIFTY.EMA(10), STRADDLE.LTP)
3A Entry conditions
when should the strategy fire?
Combine
With AND, every row must fire. With OR, any one fires the entry.
3B Exit conditions
close the trade when the market says so (technical exits)
Combine
When ANY (OR) / ALL (AND) of these fire mid-trade, every open leg is squared off.
Leave empty and the strategy stays open until SL / Target / Trailing-SL / Square-off Time / contract expiry / manual close.
3C BTST / STBT
overnight hold — enter today, exit next trading morning
BTST = Buy Today Sell Tomorrow · STBT = Sell Today Buy Tomorrow.
With both times set, entry/exit conditions in 3A/3B are not needed — the legs execute at Start Time
today and square off at Exit Time the next trading day. If 3A/3B conditions ARE set, they still gate the
entry within the Start Time → Exit Time window. Leave both blank to skip overnight semantics entirely.

Strategy Risk Settings
Basket-level Wait-and-Trade. Per-leg Wait & Trade wins — if any leg has its own wait_trigger_px, this combined wait is skipped basket-wide.
SL
× ATR(
)
then
Combine
With OR, any one condition firing runs its action. With AND, the basket exits only when every condition is true together.
What this means
(set Combined SL above — preview rebuilds as you type)
TGT
× ATR(
)
then
Combine
With OR, any one condition firing books the basket. With AND, the basket books only when every condition is true together.
What this means
(set Combined Target above — preview rebuilds as you type)
favourable MTM ₹ before trailing starts
for every Step₹ of further favourable move…
…raise the trail floor by Lock₹
What this means
(enable trailing and fill Trigger / Step / Lock to arm it)

Order sequencing & failure policy
How entries are sequenced.
buy_first avoids the SPAN spike when selling naked options.Which price defines ATM.
Futures/Synthetic use the forward (premium/discount to spot) — e.g. spot 20000 but futures 20080 picks a higher ATM strike. Backtest: spot uses the cash series, futures/synthetic use the archived synthetic-future.Pause after BUY fills before placing SELLs (buy_first only).
0 = back-to-back.cancel_all unwinds the already-placed legs (safest). keep_placed trades a partial basket.Used only by
retry_failed. After this many attempts, the policy falls back to cancel_all.Risk + Timing
All four are 0-disabled. Spike ignores SL on freak ticks. Spread/Premium-Gap refuse entry in thin / mispriced markets. Slippage emits a warning when fills diverge.
