Entry logic: ATM %


ATM% functionality allows the algo to select strikes which are certain percentage away from the ATM strike.


Logic/method:

1. First the ATM strike is derived after checking the spot price

2. The +/- % value set by the user is then calculated from the ATM strike to derive the strikes for entry.


User settings:

1. ATM +/- (% value) 


Examples:

1. Suppose current spot price is 42442.25. The ATM strike is 42400.

2. Supposed ATM % setting given by the users are as follows:

I. Example 1:  ATM + 0.5% CE

Formula: 

ATM + (ATM x % setting)

Strike selection calculation:

42400 + (42400 x 0.5%)

= 42400 + 212

= 42612

Closest strike to 42612 is 42600, so strike selected will be 42600 CE

II. Example 2: ATM + 1.5% PE

Formula: 

ATM + (ATM x % setting)

Strike selection calculation:

42400 + (42400 x 1.5%)

= 42400 + 636

= 43036

Closest strike to 43036 is 43000, so strike selected will be 43000 PE

III. Example 3: ATM - 0.5% CE

Formula: 

ATM - (ATM x % setting)

Strike selection calculation:

42400 - (42400 x 0.5%)

= 42400 - 212

=  42188

Closest strike to 42188 is 42200, so strike selected will be 42200 CE

IV. Example 4: ATM - 1.5% PE

Formula: 

ATM - (ATM x % setting)

Strike selection calculation:

42400 - (42400 x 1.5%)

= 42400 - 636

= 41764

Closest strike to 41764 is 41800, so strike selected will be 41800 PE
