Thanks again for your clarification. But what would you do if the liquid stocks that you have now chosen are no longer so liquid and other scrips in future justify being classified as liquid? It would be easy for you ofcourse to make changes in your excel sheet. However, if some flexibility or guidance on deletion/addition of scrips/symbols was provided for users in your excel based software itself, that would be a further plus point.
Anyway, based on your experience, I take it as granted that there are only 19 scrips that are included in your program that are worth considering for options trading, besides Nifty and Bank Nifty. That itself reduces the complexities of trading to some degree.
Recently I asked a senior executive in a securities firm whether there actually are market makers in the stock market. I was surprised to hear his confirmation. I then went a step further and asked him how could that be possible in a market with such large volumes being traded. He replied that market makers are usually option writers and they have deep pockets besides expert knowledge of the market and corporate information that is public as well as researched (a softer word for inside information perhaps).
This thread and your software it seems is trying to read the moves of option writers to advantage. The leverage in options being so high, it is imperative to have strategies and plans for whipsaws and correct triggers for entry and exit. Needless to mention that a good charting software and real time charts for both cash and futures segments, perhaps also including option charts in real time, are a must. Could you please suggest a few good AmiBroker AFLs and possibly refer their download links?
Still going through your thread backwards with increasing appreciation as well as doubts.
