Yeah sure. So these are basically 6 Leg Option Strategies. It is completely automated. I have personally completed the Out – Sample and In – Sample Back Testing. For the last 2 years, the average return has been 2.5% on Invested Capital. I cannot share the exact details of my strategy because then I will be answerable to my clients.
But, it is an option selling strategy with a drawdown of less than 4% for the last two years. Last year in September, the options movement was really pathetic and that’s the reason behind the 4% drawdown. As far as this year goes, max Drawdown has been curtailed to 3%.
Minimum Capital Requirement is 5Lakhs. But this strategy is suitable for even bigger portfolios. Lets say you wan to invest 10 Lakhs in my Algo, I first invest that money into a Debt Fund which gives a 5-7% return annually. Then I pledge that units to get up to 80% ( 8 Lakhs ) of that fund as a trading capital. The strategy generates 25 – 28% return on this capital. So lets say I made 2 Lakh gain which is a 25% ROI, on the entire capital it is 20%. Adding the debt fund returns, it makes total ROI to 26-28%. Deducting the Brokerage and STT, etc ( 4% ) I am left with a gross return of 24%.
In this way I manage my capital. Now, the after tax profits from the Algo are invested into MF or Direct Equity depending on the Market Condition. One obvious question is, Ishaan if you can generate 25% ROI annually, why even invest in stock and MFs? Well, its an Algo and there will be times when it will Underperform. It has not till now but it might. So I have to safeguard my profits as much as possible. I have to be diversified. Although I haven’t faced huge drawdowns yet, it does not mean I won’t in the future. I have to be ready for the worst.
Hope this helps.
