EA’s for auto buy/sell signals – Pi

May 11, 2015

Traders,

EA’s or Expert Advisors as they are popularly known especially in the meta trader community are programs that allow automation of analytic processes. What this means is that you can convert your trading strategy into a code/program, backtest it to see if it had earned money in the past, and take profitable strategies live as expert advisors. You can have multiple expert advisors running at the same time, and the EA will do the job of spotting and alerting you with any buy or sell signal that is generated.

With Pi, we have introduced the concept of expert advisors for the first time on an Indian trading platform. The next time you trade or take someone else’s advise, make sure to first backtest them, it is one of the first steps to take towards trading success.

The programming language used on Pi is called TradeScript, intended for traders who want to code their own trading strategies but don’t know how to program in low-level languages like C, C++, and others. TradeScript is good for traders who don’t know programming, and for those who are looking at it as a stepping stone to get started with backtesting or having programs (EA’s) spot trading opportunities. But for professional traders out there who are adept at coding and run complex trading strategies, TradeScript will not fit the bill. For the professional programmers we have Pi bridge through which you can fire in orders from almost any source.

Backtesting

Initiating backtest window

The backtest option is available under the alerts menu on Pi. You can select the contract/scrip to backtest as shown in the image below.

back1

Selecting a contract for backtesting

Coding and Backtesting

back2

Coding & Backtesting

  1. Your buy code in TradeScript. The example above is for an exponential moving average strategy, so Close>EMA (close,50) which means buy when closing is above 50 candle exponential moving average.
  2. Similarly click on Sell and mention the code Close<EMA (close,50).
  3. Define the periodicity of the candle and how long you want to backtest it for using Bar history. In the example above it is a 50-minute EMA, so periodicity is Minute and Bar interval is 1. I am backtesting for the last 30,000 candles and hence mention the same in Bar history.
  4. Select if you also want to see a backtest chart with all the signals plotted. If you are backtesting more than 20,000 candles it is best to not plot the chart, depending on how powerful your system is, it can crash. Since I am backtesting 30,000 candles in my example, I have kept this unticked. (See the below image on how a backtest chart would look.)
  5. Click on Back Test. All the processing is happening at your machine, so the more powerful your machine is, the faster you will see the backtest results.
  6. All the results with individual trades will be mentioned in this box. In the example above, there have been 1920 trades with 1554 losing and 366 winning in the last 30,000 minutes. Even though there are more losing trades, the strategy is still net profitable (without considering costs) as it has made 8782.5 points in the last 1900 trades.

If you are backtesting smaller number of candles, you can also initiate the chart. Usually the indicators on a backtest chart are plotted separately, this can be dragged and dropped to the main candle panel as show below.

back3

Backtest Chart. left click on the blue EMA line, drag the white square box to the main candle panel.

back4

Backtest chart, same strategy with 3000 candles.

Expert Advisors or EA’s

Now that you are satisfied with the backtest results, you can create your EA.

Creating EA

back5

Creating Expert Advisor

  1. Click on “Create new Expert Advisor” under the main menu Artificial Intelligence.
  2. Give your EA a name, and if you want give it a description and/or message like I have done in the image above for the EA that I have named EMA Cross.
  3. Copy paste the same code from your backtest window for buy/sell respectively.
  4. Click on Save, this will create your EA – EMA Cross.

Taking the EA live

back6

Taking EA live

  1. Open the chart of whichever scrip you want to apply the EA to. I have opened a Nifty future 1-minute chart (the same contract that I had backtested).
  2. Clicking on Apply Expert Advisor under the Artificial Intelligence menu opens up the Expert Advisor box. From the entire list, tick on the EA that you want to take live. We have given a bunch of public EA’s to help you get started. If you want to take only the EMA Cross live, tick on the box next to it.
  3. You will be able to see the description that we had entered earlier. You can also see that you are the owner of this EA, and it is not a public EA.
  4. Click on Apply to take the EA live. You will now start getting buy/sell signals based on this EA.
  5. To disable EA’s, untick and apply.
  6. You should also see this EA icon as shown below once you apply. You can also have multiple EA’s run on single/multiple charts at the same time which is humanly not possible as shown below. I have taken 6 EA’s live on Nifty at the same time.
EA1

After taking EA live – the EA icon

Generated Alerts by the EA

EA2

Generated alerts

  1. Click on Generated Alerts under the Alerts menu to initiate the window as shown above.
  2. All the EA’s, whenever generating a buy/sell signal, they get logged on this window with their names clearly mentioned.
  3. If you wish to execute an order based on this signal, click on the Buy/Sell box.
  4. You can change the quantity/price on the buy/sell order form.
  5. You can enable/disable sound alerts for Expert Advisors as shown below.
  6. Generated alerts can only be executed manually by clicking on Buy/Sell on the Generated Alerts page.
EA3

Enable/Disable Sound alerts

TradeScript Help

You can find the TradeScript user manual under the Help menu on Pi. We have also given over 30 public EA’s to help you get started on Pi. If you have any queries on coding a new EA, you can visit this section on Tradingqna. We also have built our Expert Advisor page, where we will soon have over 100 public EA’s with code.

Consensus – multiple EA’s

Another really cool feature with EA’s is the Consensus Report. You can use multiple EA’s and get a consensus report using all of them on how bullish or bearish a particular scrip currently is. Click on Run Consensus Report, select either single or multiple EA’s, and click on apply to see a consensus report like the one shown below.

  7. Dipan Saikia says:

    Hello,

    When using a crossover strategy with Hull moving average, while back testing why does Pi post an error saying “undefined function: HMA”. I can see that Hull moving average is available in Pi, then why is it not available for back testing?

    Please let me know if any other name is used for hull moving average while coding.

    Regarding the pi script.

    I want to buy the stock if the stock is 1% higher than the opening range high
    & Sell when stock if 1% lower than the opening range low.

  24. Dinesh Tamse says:

    Hi Team

    PI is having a Buy and Sell scripting option in single window, so for eg. if my buy and sell signal is based on the crossover, assuming first crossover signal is for buy, than the another crossover happens and the Sell signal will trigger, after the Sell Crossover, will it wait for a new buy signal or it will Short at the same point.

    Simplifying my query with below given steps.
    1. Buy. (MACD Buy Signal)
    2. Sell. (MACD Sell Signal)
    Now the Sell Crossover is in trend……
    3. Sell / Buy (Which signal will trigger ? Will is wait for another Buy Crossover)

    Please help to understand this scenario.

    Additionally is there any other way to trigger Short trade.

    Thanks

  25. Ron Kalra says:

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    Just want to confirm with you that you don’t have Ichimoku Cloud in Zerodha Pi or is it that I don’t see the Ichimoku indicator in my application.
    Wondering how can I use the Expert Advisor for Ichimoku ( which is available on your site ) if I don’t see the indicator in the Pi software.
    I’ll really appreciate if you can add ichimoku indicator in Pi because all my trading decisions are based on Ichimoku.

    Thank you
    Regards
    Ron

  26. Ketan Khopkar says:

    Dear Sir,

    This is regarding Our Pi software.
    In back testing we have to select 1 by 1 stock, instead of that can we include the whole stock list as it is included while creating new scanner with three options as, add symbols, add MW symbols & add default symbols. and the results to be showed in horizontal manner for all the stocks added.
    Also same to be included in Scripted alert, so that we can give scripted alert for all the stocks we need at once
    or some alert popup with sound when alert generated in scanner, as, if we are working in some other window we cannot know the generated alerts in scanner until we again open the scanner window.
    This will be very useful and time saving for us.

    Plz revert if my suggestion is worth.

    Hope for your kind support.

    Thank You.

  40. kapil sharma says:

    Hi
    Can any one please let me know
    1) Using EA, which signal will be produced first, a buy or a sell ?
    2) Assuming the first signal is buy & I executed the order, what will be the the next signal, will it be sell ? or it can be any ?
    3) If answer is any then what is the maximum limit to produce back to back buy signals provided that all the signals are being executed, apart from the margins required.
    AND
    How the exit strategy can be automated in this case.
    4) If answer of the query # 1) is “any” then
    Writing an EA for buy & its exit condition AND a separate EA for sell & its exit condition, can there be a case where first signal is generated based upon the exit condition without having the actual trade in place. How that can be handled, do I have access to the last trade/order executed using the EA ?

    Hello,
    I have a question. How to generate buy and sell signal using expert adviser for all the NSE listed stocks, without opening the respective charts and generating advise. My intention is, when I click a generate expert adviser button, It should advise me to buy or sell any stock listed in NSE or BSE stocks without opening the chart.
    Whereas Zerodha has the pi scanner (executes only for only one condition) which generates only “buy or sell” type of signal. I need to Buy and sell signal in the same sort of a system.

    I had a doubt for the scanner ! how much scripts can be added to a scanner ? and cant we create our own list for the scanner? as in i want to scan all the fno scripts how can i do that ?

    • siva says:

      No limit as such,one can create their own list and yes can add all fno stocks but one has to add each scrip individually. For further queries on this you can write to [email protected].

        Adding indiviaully would be a very hectic task ! would request you to make one predefined space for the same ! even once we create the list we cant save the same right ?

    if I bought share for say 100 with autobuy and if price goes to 104 they it should sell and if it goes 98 it should exit position ie… maintaining 1:2 RR ration.

    It would be helpful if there is user manual containing all function to refer.

    Awaiting for your reply

    thanks…

    Jamuna Rani D

    • Akshay.A says:

      1) To change/update the Primary bank details, you’ll have to send the modification form with the cancelled cheque/bank statement and courier the copies to our Bangalore address. If you wish to add a secondary bank for fund transfer, then you’ll have to send a scanned cheque/bank statement to [email protected]

      2) F&O Contracts are for 3 months, So you wouldn’t get 52-week OHLC. There is a continuous futures chart where you could get the OHLC based on how the continuous futures chart is designed. The 52week high and low is not filter, but if any scrip added on marketwatch it will be highlighted if those values are breached

    I want to apply an EA on a 30 min chart. So, I open the chart, set it to 30 mins and then apply the EA. But the EA always seems to be running on the 1 min chart, generating alerts “-[1Minutely]”. Anything else I need to do in order to get this to work on 30 min interval?

    • Nida says:

      Another question related to the above. I keep getting ‘Your script generated an error’ on the scanner screen for my script and the same script runs absolutely fine on the Backtesting and EA screens. Is there any formatting required?

      • Venu says:

        I’m assuming you’re copy pasting the code from the Backtesting screen to the scanner screen. Have observed that by copy pasting, it loses the formatting. This may be the reason you’re getting the error.

    • Venu says:

      Can you send your code to [email protected] so that we could review and give you feedback?

      • Nida says:

        Thanks for the prompt reply, Venu. I have sent the code to [email protected]. I noticed that the scanner clears all the new line characters of the code. So, I gave a space between each line, but that did not work either. Also, what about the 30 min chart for EA? Why does Pi only consider 1 min chart when I run EA on a 30 min chart?

    Thank you for the scripts and the scripting feature.

Perhaps, copying a configuration file in Pi installation folder in my desktop and pasting it into Pi installation folder in my laptop must bring up my setup in desktop to laptop. Does the feature already exist? if the answer is no, would it be possible to add it in future? Thank you.

The buy and sell occurs only when conditions are fulfilled but I want to exit on day end or some exit conditions (even exit long and exit short conditions seems to be fishy) . Can someone please help me with this.It would be great if some example with buy & sell script is provided.

    Suppose, an EA gave my buy signal and I placed the trade according to it. After some time the same EA gave me sell signal on the same instrument and I placed the sell order, at this time will the long trade be automatically closed by pi/EA or do I have to manually close it (after entering sell order).

  128. Arjun Singh says:

    I have a query, consider I have also coded the Exit Long and Exit Short script with the buy and sell script, will pi generate the exit trade button(signal) in the generated alert window? Or will it only generate buy and sell signal?

    Hi Nithin & Siva,

    Being marketing partner of Zerodha , I would like to help my referrals for algo trading however as per my experience , other than a good platform for trading i see lots of missing points which should be at one place in proper procedure. AS of now please help me to get these queries resolved

    1.) Full step-by-step procedure to do fully automatic trading. ( it would be using Pi , kite or separate terminal ? As after reading many post on Zconnect and FAQs and tradingqna , all is messed up ……. Dealer terminal is required, Amibroker plugin, Kite data and APIs……. Algo approval , Exact fee ? any fee for data or software ? for AP need to register for NSE/BSE separately ? , Can you please consolidate all at one palce and explain using what a trader can do with different products …for fully automatic trading

    2.) In Pi while testing out some strategies for backtesting , there are lots of stocks to select then how we can select multiple stocks in one run for a strategy . it’s very time consuming to select one by one and testing it out as we need to fine tune the strategy as well so it’ll take much more time !!

    3.) For a single stock we backtest and change the parameters in strategy to get good result buy there are lots of factors in backtest result report that I know their meaning (Definition) but don’t know their affect on performance , so it would be good if your expert team can provide more detailed explanation with examples which strategy should be considered good or bad with risk,reward, sharpe ratio and so on.

    4.) I feel for backtesting there should be more data as it would include all type of mkt data (uptrend, downtrend and sideways). Generally 4-5 months mkt would be in same trend then backtesting results are very favorable . Is it possible to backtest any strategy with Kite API with full historic data?

    5.) Do you have any plan to share other strategy to traders same like OpenTrade ?

    Thanks

    • 1. If a client is declaring that he is automating trades, he needs to become an AP on the exchange, get approvals for the strategy. Either Kite connect API’s or Pi bridge will work. If strategy involves BSE, then yeah that as well.
      2. If you are trying to do this for automation, suggest you try backtesting on Amibroker. Pi is just a good starting point.
      3. All the details of this is available on google. Lots of information on these ratios.
      4. Yes, you can use Kite API to backtest.
      5. Hmm.. no plans as such.

    when am checking the graph after market back testing graph and live market graph not matching

    • siva says:

      Create scripted alerts refers with current running candle, as repainting of candle happens you may get some more/false signals, repainting happens in every charting platform, to avoid this you can refer to previous candle or trade on only after close of the candle.

  141. Pritish says:

    Trying backtesting and noticed on many results where it shows loss but percent profit is 0%. Is this an error or expected? Can post more examples if required.

    E.g. EMA – DI crossover applied on BANKNIFTY DEC FUT 3 minute 10 day, results in:

    Total number of trades: 2
    Number of losing trades: 2
    Total loss: -528.5000
    Percent profit: 0%

    • algogeek says:

      As per the above regarding profit / loss it is calculated with values given in the summary.Also,for last trade it is difference of the closing price of the chart data and last signal in summary section. you can check it in detail in back-testing summary section.

    Hi! I’m new to Zerodha “PI”.
    Does it possible to use PI “Scanner” (PI>Alerts>Scanner>New Scanner) to scan & short various Stocks based on their EOD Data (as EOD scanner)? Because, I’m getting only “Minute” & “Hour” options in “Periodicity” drop down menu! Is there any alternative option?
    If “Yes”, then requesting you to kindly let me know the procedure.
    If “No”, then requesting you to kindly incorporate the “EOD” scanning facility in to “PI”, which will be a great help to us & make the system near completed.
    Wish to have a prompt reply from your end as always.
    Thanks in advance.

    • algogeek says:

      In Pi, the scanner feature works only in the live market hours as it scan or check based on last traded price of the given conditions to the list of stocks, currently in scanner there is only minute and hour time frame and no end of the day candle time frame as scanner will not work after market hours.
      We Will pass on your feedback.

  145. Arjun Singh says:

    Sir, What’s the difference between creating scripted alerts and creating expert advisors? As I see, in creating scripted alerts there’s an extra option to write exit long and exit short strategy, but in creating EA, one can only write buy and Sell script. Does the scripted alerts generate buy, sell and exit trade(long/Short) signals?

    Hi zerodha team,

    One input for pi :
    Every trader has his liking for one or more EA’s which is used by him on daily basis for trading. So it will be of great help if EA’s are included in chart template so that can be used very easily.
    Pl. Include this in future releases if possible.

    Dear Nithin / Any Expert,
    Can you please provide details about the trend() function. I would like to know these details about this function: 1. How many previous candles does this function consider to decide about the trend? 2. Does it help in quickly getting the trend change? 3. Or is this useful only the determine the already prevailing trend?

    Thanks,

    Why cant zerodha add a windows to select the data from this date to this dat e.g 2/02/16 to 02/06/16.max. range of four month will not breach. software will work properly…….and backtesting can be done also on any range of date.

    OPEN = LOW AND CLOSE=HIGH

    How would I do it ?

    • algogeek says:

      Create scripted alerts , scanners or Expert Advisors only works in live markets on intraday charts with live ticks based on last traded price, it will not give any alerts on after market hours, if you want to check the signals on daily basis with day candles you can use backtest and check with historical data.

    Crossover of moving averages and MACD

    SMA 26 EMA13 WMA 9 AND MACD 26.13,9

  164. Arka says:

    Dear Team,

    Firstly, highly impressed with how far Zerodha has come and wish you luck for the future.
    Onto the query,

    I tried the Bollinger Bands EA code from the Zerodha site: https://zerodha.com/expert-advisors/code/bollinger-bands-trading-system

    I applied this to Spicejet stock with a periodicty of MINUTES , Bar Intervals 30 and Days 30. Following is the o/p without the ratios:

    Total number of trades: 1
    Average number of trades per month: 3
    Number of profitable trades: 1
    Number of losing trades: 0
    Total profit: 4.2000
    Total loss: -0.1500
    Percent profit: 96.429%
    Largest profit: 2.3500
    Largest loss: -0.1500
    18-07-2016 14:45:00,LONG,62.9500
    27-07-2016 11:15:00,SHORT,64.8000
    02-08-2016 14:45:00,LONG,62.4500

    I am unable to completely understand this data.
    1. It says total trades 1 but there are 3 trade points
    2. How is 96% profit calculated?
    3. Total number of losing trades is 0 yet there’s a loss amount
    4. Does the algo consider squaring off at the EOD for respective trade?

    Thanks and Regards,
    Arka

    P.S. Are there any online resources to learn TradeScript?

  165. sr says:

    pi is no doubt one of the best trading platforms i have seen so so far

    currently have to use tradingview alongside pi in multi-screen setup

    b) Parabolic SAR is below candle .
    c) stochastic ( 10,3,3) is above 50 .

    2) SELL SIGNAL:

    a) 13 EMA crossover 34 EMA from above moving below.
    b) Parabolic SAR is above candle .
    c) stochastic ( 10,3,3) is below 50 .

    Back testing strategy doesn’t works with ICHIMOKU indicator, whenever I backtest on one stock so it keep on back testing the same stock, it doesn’t allow me to change the stock for another backtest. And whenever I press stop backtesting it opens another graph of same previous script, and this keeps on going till I logout and again log in to the Pi.

    Please look in to the issue.

  171. Satya Prakash Chaudhary says:

    Regarding Back Test:
    It is seen that when I put a Script/EA for the back test, it generated orders at the CLOSE price of the CANDLES instead of actual moment the script conditions are met.

    Why it is like that?

    Whether the script generates alerts in same way when LIVE in Market?

    Kindly explain the logic of working of EA in LIVE market.

    Thanks

    • Siva says:

      It is because if the conditions are met same signal can be generated any number of times during the candle formation and it does not make any sense, also few times the conditions might get satisfied during the formation of candle but were not after the completion of the candle. The same in live markets.

    Is there any solution whenever i open chart my created expert advise will be continue.
    And also i want apply my created strategy to all stocks without open each stock charts.

  179. Srivida says:

    Hi Nithin
    Want to start with thanking you for all your and your team’s efforts on zer0dha. BIG FAN…
    I have written a few strategies on PI and have backtested them. The strategies involved EMA 10, EMA 30 and EMA 50 in one way or other. I have copied them to EA and have applied them on charts too. All went well. My question is this:
    If I open a 10 minute chart for a script at 915 am and apply a EA with EMA 50, will the EA wait for 50 10 minute candles to passby for the day before generating an alert or is the EA applied on running candles no matter the day? IOW, will my EA start generating alerts (if they are applicable) from the first candle of the day itself or will it wait for sometime for some kind of validation?
    A reply is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Srivida

    • It will depend on the chart you are looking at. It will be based on the data on the chart. If your chart has 50 10 min candles, it will start getting signals immediately, if not it will wait for the time period to complete.

      • Srivida says:

        Thanks for your reply Mr.Kamath. PI doesn’t allow me to see more candles than that is generated during the market hours. IOW, I can see only the candles that are pertinent to the trading day in PI when I open a chart. How I fix it? I need my alerts / EAs to be effective with the running candles.
        Thanks
        Srivida

    Two moving average
    Set A = WWS(CLOSE,5)
    set B = WWS(CLOSE,15)
    buy when
    crossover(A,B) and
    sell when
    crossover(B,A)

    now i want to introduce stochastic momentum index also in above formula , what i understant from manual is
    below formula

    Stochastic momemtum index
    SMID(14, 2, 3, 9, WMA, WMA) > 40 OR SMIK(14, 2, 3, 9, WMA, WMA) > 40

    but dont know how to combine this with above crossover

        Hi venu

        But is that generated alert buy/sell button really working ? I am facing problem for a week now that only first alert button works but rest of the alerts order being rejected with error message ” client order Id already exist ”
        Means if you enter long or short by an alert you will have to exit manually , even if there is an exit alert that button will not work !
        I had raised several tickets now and they are working on it , hope a solution soon
        Is that really a technical error ? Or it’s only with me ?
        Even after reinstalling Pi 3 times and tried it on an other PC
        Can you suggest something from your expertise ? As I am missing so many trading opportunities !

    • Shabeer says:

      Hi Ahsan

    Hi,
    1. While going through Tradescript strategies provided, I noticed that the candle stick pattern in Buy/Sell signal have been derived using the reference value of OHLC, which makes me wonder, does Pi’s expert advisors supports the candlestick pattern constant as given in Tradescript pdf for eg. can I use CP() = BULLISH_ENGULFING_LINE instead of those references in Pi’s EA?
    2. Suppose my strategy requires the following condition : (Morningstar OR Dozi) AND MACD Up Trend. How can I go about it?
    Thanks.

  199. pranjal rajput says:

    1)
    Can expert advisor code consider other scrips while generating the buy/sell ?

    2)
    Can we create custom EAs in other language (java,python) which have access to methods of TradeScript.
    Example java code – if( MACD(“INFY”,13, 26, 9, SIMPLE) < X && myJavaMethod()==true )
    This has 2 features, the value of "X" are not hardcoded and myJavaMethod can contain java code that can have custom made logic specific to my own trading strategies/methods.

  200. Sanjib says:

    Every time i use backtest there shows a alert “(‘Your script generated an error’) script generated no trades..make sure that atleast buy or sell script are typed in.”But i already copy and paste the script.

    • algogeek says:

      when we backtest a script for certain historical data, the buy and sell signals generates only when the condition meet, so, if no pattern matches it will show error script generated no trades, try with high liquid stocks/futures like hdfcbank, nifty with more historical data and check if signals are generating.

  201. jai says:

    Does the backtesting a script not consider MIS? If i run through a script for more that 2 days, sometime it shows open position on 1st day and the closing it out another day.

    Lets say currently LTP is 2500

    Condition:

    Entry:
    If price reaches 2520, my EA should execute a “Cover Order” with specified SL (I am also aware that the cover orders are market orders, hence exact 2520 may not be achieved, but that is fine, even if EA can execute a cover order automatically at/around 2520, it sufficient)

    Exit: EA should perform the closing of open “Cover Order” at a specified level

              ADX(14) > 20 and DIN(14) > 20 AND RSI(CLOSE, 14) REF(MACD(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE), 1) AND MACDSignal(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE) > MACD(13, 26, 9, SIMPLE)

              I had to post it multiple times as the entire script was not getting posted.

    Hi!

    This is a great software. However, I can see that the trades are to be entered manually by clicking buttons. Is there any option for automatic buy and sell orders?

    Hiii…

    I have one query that suppose If I have enabled one strategy on pi as well as I am not in front of my laptop and laptop is shut down…..Can i get those alerts on my registered mobile number so once i get alert i could place orders through mobile app or through kite….

  226. rohit D says:

    Hi Nithin,

    If i have 35 scrips in my watch list n if I have a strategy coded then is it possible that I get buy sell signal on all 35 scrips in real time n rather not just on a scrip whose chart is on my screen.
    please let me know about this.

    thank you

      बॅक टेस्टिंग से आप यह पता लगा पाओगे यदि आपका ट्रेडिंग स्ट्रॅटजी कामयाब रहा है की नही.

      अगर आपके पास कोई ट्रेडिंग स्ट्रॅटजी है तो उसको आप पिछले कई दिनों के चार्ट पे टेस्ट कर सकते है. आपको पहले के चार्ट पे बाइ सेल सिग्नल जेनरेट होगा. आप यह भी पता लगा पाओगे की आपकी स्ट्रॅटजी से कितने ट्रेड्स निकले,उसमे कितने लाभदायक थे और कितने नुक़सानदायक थे. इससे आप अंदाज़ा लगा पाओगे यदि आपको फ्यूचर में वो स्ट्रॅटजी का उपयोग करना है की नही

    HI Nitin,

    PI is good platform for zerodha trader , But I am not able to do simple scanning in PI . I want to scan those stock which are trading below there opening price , Please help me on this in PI

    Thanks
    Tejas Desai

    • Venu Madhav says:

      On Pi go to Alerts –> Scanner –>Click on New Scanner –> Give it a name –> Condition = LAST Select the periodicity, bar interval and days –> Click on Add Symbols to add the symbols on which you want to scan the given criteria. You can see the Added symbols in the ‘Added Symbols’ dropdown –> Click on Ok –> Click on Load. This will run the scanner and give you the list of scrips which meets your criteria.

  233. Anil says:

    Hi,

    I need some sort of setup as below

    A screener or alert kind of system which can scan over all the NSE stocks during live trading and when ever my strategy is fulfilled ( something like say EMA Crossover happened ), I need to get all the stocks for which the strategy is fulfilled.

    For example: For EMA Crossover of (20,60). I need to know the stocks in NSE for which EMA crossover happened during live trading in 1-minute time frame.

    It would be great if my above requirement can be fulfilled with Pi. Please let me know the possible solution if any.

    Looking forward to hear from you.

    Thanks.

    • Anil says:

      I just want the pop-up message or alert with the stock name?

      Also I would like to know how reliable is it to use multiple scanners during live trading in PI?

      When I write the EMA Crossover logic in scanner, will it alert or pop-up message when the crossover happens during live trading?

  234. RAJ says:

    Hi,
    Is it possible for me to apply an EA to a chart and get it stored in the system so that EA is active all the time and will show a signal moment i open pie ;if yes where can i see a list of all my active EAs or should i buy amibroker or other software . I am not very good at coding though.
    Thanks

  235. Ramesh says:

    The EA seems to be useful for only the intraday traders. I would like to use the scanner on all stocks (Closing price) so that I can identify buy and sell opportunities for short term trading. Is it already available? Am I missing something?

  236. Badri says:

    Can a single EA script be used to run on all F&O scripts for parallel scans and generate alerts for multiple matches in Pi?

  237. Ishwar M. says:

    Hi,

    One query regarding the Risk to Reward ratio shown in the Back Test report. Could you please tell me how this is calculated? As I can’t seem to arrive at that number. For example, I have the below data generated in the back test report:

    Total number of trades: 27
    Number of profitable trades: 12
    Number of losing trade: 15
    Total profit: 73.6
    Total loss: -39.2
    Percent profit: 46.739%
    Largest profit: 15.85
    Largest loss: -5.9
    Risk to reward ratio: 0.234

    So, how to arrive at this Risk to reward ratio of 0.234 from the above data? Or is any more data required for calculating this?

    Thanks,
    Ishwar.

    • You will need more data. You will need profit/loss on every single trade.

      • Ishwar M. says:

        Ah ok.

        Nithin, one feature request related to EAs in general. If I leave the EAs running on my computer, can the generated alerts be sent as notifications to Kite? This way we can execute the buy / sell at the right time with Kite on mobile even when we are not around the computer. Or do you already have some plans of being able to Apply EAs directly on the mobile through the android app that is coming up or in Kite itself?

        Net Profit= Rs.7.5

        Profit Percentage = 62.397%

        FURTHER, I HAVE CALCULATED & PASTED PROFIT & LOSS OF EACH TRANSACTIONS ABOVE FOR YOUR REFERENCE.

        In above case, Risk to Reward Ratio = 7.5 / (-4.55) = 1.648 OR 62.397% / (-4.55) = 0.137; Whereas back test gives -0.188

        I am very confused in UNDERSTANDING RISK TO REWARD RATIO GIVEN IN PI BACK TEST REPORT, PL guide me how it is being calculated step by step in detail.. I discussed with few traders, nobody has answer.. And How Negative values arrives.. My understanding if I keep 1 risk to 3 profit, i.e, 1:3 = 1/3= 0.333 OR 3 Profit to 1 Risk, i.e, 3:1 = 3/1 = 3 vice-versa.
        Which is correct? how zerodha pi calculates?

        Pl answer. Thanks

      • Amey says:

        Hi Nithin!

        Why is nobody answering the query about how actually risk-reward is calculated on Zerodha Pi Backtest? There are absolutely no resources anywhere and many people are asking this question.

        Is it RISK/REWARD or REWARD/RISK and if so, what constitutes RISK and REWARD?

  238. Ishwar M. says:

    Hi,

    The TREND function does not work in combination with the EMA. For example:
    TREND(EMA(CLOSE, 50), 2) = UP returns no trades.

    I have the latest patch of Pi. This issue happens only for TREND with EMA. TREND with MACD or RSI works fine.

    Could you please look into this?

    Thanks,
    Ishwar.

    was away from trading for sometime
    installed the updated pi today, it works really

    happy to see many improvements ,runs well, is fast and ezee to use as always

    ((i have traded with the costliest brokerage where they promise you the moon and charge you the solar system.they give you a dedicated adviser -whose job is to make sure you keep bringing in money . i was tired of buggy platform, clueless customer care and very very high charges .its like dealing with a government office :even with such high charges they refuse to provide you a proper charting -you can easily guess the name ))

    no one matches zerodha in terms of user friendliness , and the way u people take care of every query every request is great keep up the good work

  241. Arshad says:

    Hi Nithin,

    Current version of PI has set backtest limit to last 120 days only. Will this be increased in next version? 120 days is very restrictive limit for backtest , it should be minimum of 1-2 years.

    Thanks,
    Arshad

    • Arshad the limit of 120 days is on intraday candles only, that is like 50,000 candles of 1 min data. The daily candles can be backtested upto 5 years. But yes, we will increase the intraday data as well.

      • Arshad says:

        Hi Nithin,

        Agreed for intraday 1, 2, 5 mins candles of 1or 2 yr there will be easily 50,000 candles or more which will put load on server. But the number of 1hr, 2hr , 4 hr intraday candles will be much lesser for 1yr or 2yrs. So I think you could still provide 1hour or 2 hours charts for 1 to 2 years.

        The reason I say is because there are a lot of positional strategies which use 1hr, 2 hr charts but carry over the trade overnight. Backtesting these for 1 year will give more confidence as opposed to just 120 days.

        Thanks,
        Arshad

  242. Manu says:

    I don’t know why some of the code is removed when I post the message.
    In words the strategy for MACDHIST is
    For Buy:
    (MACDHIST should be greater than zero and previous days MACDHIST should be less than zero ) OR ( previous days MACDHIST should be greater than zero and 2 days back MACDHIST should be less than zero )
    FOR SELL:
    ( MACDHIST should be less than zero and previous days MACDHIST should be more than zero ) OR ( previous days MACDHIST should be less than zero and 2 days back MACDHIST should be more than zero )

  243. Manu says:

    In the above post the code is not complete, the correct code is
    “For Buy
    SET HAC = (OPEN+HIGH+LOW+CLOSE)/4
    SET MACDHIST = MACD(12,26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) – MACDSIGNAL(12, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL)
    HAC > MAXOF(REF(HAC,1), REF(HAC,2), REF(HAC,3), REF(HAC,4)) AND ((MACDHIST>0 AND REF(MACDHIST,1)0 AND REF(MACDHIST,2)<0))
    For SELL:
    SET HAC = (OPEN+HIGH+LOW+CLOSE)/4
    SET MACDHIST = MACD(12, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) – MACDSIGNAL(12, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL)
    HAC < MINOF(REF(HAC,1), REF(HAC,2), REF(HAC,3), REF(HAC,4)) AND ((MACDHIST0) OR (REF(MACDHIST,1)0))

  244. Manu says:

    Hi,
    I am trying to back test strategy , it gives the backtest result but the chart is blank and the backtesting screen also hangs. When I try to close the chart window it says “chart is in use”. Please correct my code if it has some mistakes. I am testing on 1 minute nifty futures for 1 day data.
    For Buy
    SET HAC = (OPEN+HIGH+LOW+CLOSE)/4
    SET MACDHIST = MACD(12,26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) – MACDSIGNAL(12, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL)
    HAC > MAXOF(REF(HAC,1), REF(HAC,2), REF(HAC,3), REF(HAC,4)) AND ((MACDHIST>0 AND REF(MACDHIST,1)0 AND REF(MACDHIST,2)<0))
    For SELL:
    SET HAC = (OPEN+HIGH+LOW+CLOSE)/4
    SET MACDHIST = MACD(12,26, 9, EXPONENTIAL) – MACDSIGNAL(12, 26, 9, EXPONENTIAL)
    HAC < MINOF(REF(HAC,1), REF(HAC,2), REF(HAC,3), REF(HAC,4)) AND ((MACDHIST0) OR (REF(MACDHIST,1)0))
    The problem seems to be with REF(MACDHIST,2) as when I remove this term it works fine but I require it for my signal generation.

    I have been asked to upgrade my Internet to Broadband when I last reported issues with signal not generating as per condition when I take it live.

  251. Robin says:

    Hi Nithin,
    Sorry, I am bugging u too much.
    I have a request. This request can be fulfilled by making a very small modification on Pi.
    On Pi, when an order is executed, there is an announcement which can be heard very well even from the next room….which is excellent.
    BUT, when an Expert Adviser is triggered, there is only a SINGLE beep and a pop up. If I am in front of the monitor at that time and not engaged in any thing else, then it serves the purpose. But, if I am even little away from the monitor or in the next room or even in front of the computer watching some business channel, it is easy to miss the alert.
    Hence, my request is to make the beep … 4 or 5 times continuously. (an option can be given to the client if he wants single beep or multiple beep)
    Hope this suggestion is useful and can be implemented.

    • peter says:

      I don’t know whether it is recommended. Locate C:\zerodha\pi\res. there is a wav file named “ExpertAdvisorSellAlert”. If you know how to edit wave file try it and make it multiple alert. Try to save the edited file in same name and preserve original file. It works.

  252. Robin says:

    Hi Nithin,
    For backtesting intraday charts (5,10,15,20,30 mins), the maximum duration allowed is only 120 days (4 months)….. which is toooo less to get an idea of the profitability of any strategy.
    Please increase it to at least 1 year (365 days)….preferred will be for 2 or 3 years.
    Pi is so power packed…… but without data it is weak.
    It is like having a Ferrari…but no fuel to drive it ! 🙂
    Pls, take it up on a priority basis.

    Hi Nithin,
    I am in love with Zerodha. I have traded with 2 other brokers earlier, but Zerodha is miles ahead of them…. in technology and also in service….I love the positive and helping attitude of ur team.
    I have a doubt regarding the accuracy of back testing results. I back tested a very simple EMA crossover strategy on NIFTY Futures for 60 days and CNX NIFTY for 120 days period. I tried with different candle stick period (10, 15, 20 min). I was surprised to see a profit of (after charges) Rs.12,000 for one lot . That was for 60 days. For 120 days on CNX NIFTY, I got a profit of (after charges) Rs.23,000. Ofcourse, there were differences for different candle stick periods…. but on an average, this was the result. Even if we take a 10% error/deviation, the profits are too good to be true.

    • Robin, last 4 months had two or three 500 point moves in one direction when EMA’s work very well. So possible, but do check if your code is right.

      • Robin says:

        Thanks for ur time and ur reply.
        1) For backtesting intraday charts (5,10,15,20,30 mins), the maximum duration allowed is only 120 days (4 months)….. which is toooo less to get an idea of the profitability of any strategy. Please increase it to at least 1 year (365 days)….preferred will be for 2 years.
        2) Also, please u[date data for CNX NIFTY for similar duration.

  254. peter says:

    Sir
    EA. When applying two EA script on a chart. I am getting signals as EA triggered. But quite confusing which EA strategy is triggered. for Eg.
    1. LRI and EMA Sometimes I get erroneous message when LRI triggered it says as EMA is triggered( in the source window of alerts).Any way I can adjust my mind , but I think You have to look into it.
    2. I reported a problem (send email to siva also) when a strategy is triggered we have to wait for the candle to close for generating another alert( buy or cell). If the alert sounded as a buy and the same candle goes below the price there is no alert. and a buy alert remains there , but virtually it is a sell. cannot really trust on EA.

    • Peter, you can name your EA by the strategy. So in the generated alerts window, it will show you which EA generated the alert.
      In technical analysis, trades are usually taken at the close of candle. But we are working on it to give the user an option to choose how he wants an alert, at the close or the way you want. Give it a few more days.

    Hi Zerodha team, I am facing to understand why backtesting in my pi software is behaving erratic. I used simple input such as below:
    Buy
    WPR(14)-20

    after applying this on 30 min infy chart, backtest gave entry at te start of each 30 min candle bar, how to back test this strategy. I have snap shot but not able to attach.

    Pls help, bye vishal

    • vishal@09 says:

      there was typo in above query, the used code in backtesting was:

      Buy
      WPR(14)-20

    • Vishal, can you click on check for latest updates on Pi under the help menu. Update the version of Pi and try again. Few cases where the last update hasn’t happened correctly some issues with backtesting.

  259. Dan says:

    Hello, i am going to open an account very soon.I just came across a site which offers Zerodha club membership in which we get different technical softwares and training like Amibroker and Metatrade etc. Any difference if i open account through that site?

    Hi Nithin,
    The comment I just posted is awaiting moderation. It must be because of the links I have given in the comment (links to tradingqna). Please have a look at the comment.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

  261. Robin says:

    Hi Nithin,
    I was back testing on NIFTY FUTURES (current month) and saw that the data is from 4 May 2015….I realised that the data will be available from the time the contract have started.
    Hence I back tested on CNX NIFTY….by selecting NSE and then INDICES….but saw that even this data is available from 2 Feb 2015. (Both EOD & intraday).
    Is there any other way I can back test data for NIFTY for a longer duration?

  262. Robin says:

    Hi Nithin,
    My strategy to trade in stocks in cash market is to buy on EMA (9,21) CROSSOVER and book a small profit or to exit on EMA (21,9) CROSSOVER.
    I have back tested it on pi on 15 min charts. I would like to Apply Expert Advisors everyday on all the NIFTY 50 stocks at the same time so as to utilise the opportunity as and when arises.
    1) Is this possible on pi?
    2) To Apply Expert Advisors, the chart of the security is to be opened. ……Can the chart be closed after applying EA ?….if the charts can be closed after applying EA, than EA can be applied to any number of securities…..Right?
    3) How many charts can be opened at a time ?

    • 1. You will have to open individual stock charts to apply the EA. Currently max of 10 charts can be opened.
      2. Yes currently the charts need to be open for applying EA. But we are looking at ways to take this limitation out.
      3. 10

  264. parvati says:

    Hello,

    When I code my strategy and backtest it on PI, it sometimes says that the script generates error, but when I take a closer look, there is no error at all. Also the tool does not say in which line the tool sees an error if any. This is very frustrating when debugging. Please let me know if there are better ways to tackle such situations.

    Thanks.

  265. Sandip says:

    Is it possible to have options in EA like in Back testing….. Buy….Exit Buy….Sell….Exit Sell?
    As currently we cannot use it for OPTIONS if we want to just Buy Options and then Sell.
    As it is just Buy and Sell, it generates Sell(Short) Signals which I doesn’t want to go for

  266. lakshman says:

    Sir kindly make some arrangements so that we can known which stocks, commodity going above/below 50/100/200/300 emas like on by default or acting as support/resistance on eod data so that we filter stocks n chose which is highly bullish/bearish stocks and some pattrens like doji hammers inverted hammers n on on on hope even you will do this soon

    Hi Nitin,

    In the scanner settings the periodicity cannot be set to ‘day’. So it is not possible to compare a current value to the previous day close. Can this ‘day’ periodicity setting allowed by pi.

    Thanks.

    • Will forward to the tech team.

      • champak says:

        thanks 🙂

      • champak says:

        Hi Nitin,

        I think that there has been no action from your technical team on my previous query in which I had pointed out that the scanner settings cannot be set to a day. I also find that in scanner settings, if “periodicity” is kept in “minutes” and the “bar interval” kept more than “10” the scanner gives a message about the “maximum number of bars possible” and does not allow the scanner to be set. I believe that if I want a few number of candles then the scanner should allow me to use the settings mentioned above.

      • champak says:

        I want to set the periodicity as ‘minutes’ and bar interval as ’30’ in the scanner and pi is not allowing this to be set.

  269. hello sir ]

    please tell me how to write long exit code

    let say when crude oil crosses its EMA either I sell/buy and as soon as it covers 2 points i want to exit

    Example crude oil CMP 3700 EMA 10 crosses above i initiated buy and when it reaches 3702 i want to exit my position wants to scalp it

    Hi Nithin,
    From Day 1 I entered Zerodha, I am not able to trade using any of your Desktop, Web, Z5 platforms. Only i am fighting with your Mobile Trader application an d it works fine now.But, i would love to use your Web, Z5, Pi platforms to trade.Please help me. No good answer from your support team.

  279. Ritesh says:

    Can Zerodha request for historical TICK data for NSE from day 1 of online trading (historical intraday bhavcopy) and integrate it within their system, including Pi? It will be great! Much better than all your customers chasing the much needed historical data out on the internet.

    • We are slowly increasing our database. Tick data is not possible, it will be 1 min OHLC data. Daily tick data will be between 20 to 30 GB just for NSE, and it is not practical to store historical data base of ticks and stream it via internet

  283. Ramkumar says:

    nitin,
    Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to plan for this feature in future? I think this is very essential feature for back testing. In this forum I need not stress enough the importance of stoploss.
    I have seen other software doing this. for example Ameritrade trading software. There is a simple check box for stop loss. if u enable it u can put stop either as % or absolute terms.

    Thanks

  284. Vishal says:

    Not sure if this a right place for this feature.
    It happens that that I’m +10000 in morning and -10000 by afternoon. Is it possible to square off all positions when the net profit moves down to +3000 from +10000.

  285. Ramkumar says:

    Nitin,
    The question raised by Sravan on (31/5) has not been answered. I also badly need to know how do it. I searched ref. doc and I couldn’t find way to do it. To refresh memory, the problem is “how to access entry price in exit long/short section?”. This will help us in doing things like putting a stop loss.

  286. mehtachandru says:

    Dear Nitin ,

    a) I liked your buy and sell in the same pop up it is easy to quickly to trade on zerodha .

    i have a two questions

    a) does your software support historical indicators of over 1 to 2 years . What i mean is resistance points or lines drawn by us / saved by us in the system which act as horizontal line indicator and are very useful to us to show that the stock is at a particular resistance zone that may move up or down.When i try doing this it does not save for the next day .

    b) is it possible to add the nse nifty as an overlay over a existing stock . This could be helpful instead of toggling around.

    I look forward to your response.

  287. Ashok Jain says:

    Dear Nithin,

    I am not expert in technicals viewing of charts , but i want your algorithmic based trading to help me in getting buy and sell signal time to time . This it seem your EA does. Is this correct what i have understood from your website.

  288. prabhakar says:

    hi
    i am using pi it is good but only one market watch is there can it be possible to make multiple watchlist

  289. Debajit says:

    Hi,
    I just start using PI from last month and found very helpful for new commerce who start writing script. I have two questions here:
    1) Is there any way in EA code I can add buy/sale exit also like in back test module.
    2) Once any buy or sale signal generate can draw stop loss & Target line automatic in chart based on
    trade price.

    • 1. Debajit, you can run two separate Expert advisors. So one to Buy and Buy exit (in sell, enter your buy exit code), and similarly a separate EA to Sell and Sell exit.
      2. No, not possible.

  290. prabhu says:

    Hi Nithin ji,

    I have an AFL indicator (purchased from some vendors) that shows arrows for buy and sell in amibroker chart, but i am not sure whether it will be able to connect with PI.

    can i connect the amiborker indicator arrow to place a order in PI, issue is that i don’t have the code of AFL.

    Regards
    Prabhu

    • Yes Prabhu, you can get the AFL to fire orders directly into Pi using Pi bridge. Check this. If you are subscribing data from neotrade analytics for amibroker, they will help you out in coding the AFL also. They have built a utility, if you drag and drop on a chart on Ami, it fires orders into Pi. Speak to them.

  291. fazlur rehman says:

    I am surprised buy the delay you are taking in adding super trend and pivot points. Since long you are promising to add in next release of pi but that next release didn’t come yet which is very irritating ………

    • Fazlur, we have received over a 100 new indicator requests. We will work on that, but first we are working on ensuring that everything else around the platform is optimized.

  292. Abhijeet says:

    As currently there are 30 EAs on website and as you said that Zwerodha is planning to launch about 100 EA’s in next few days.

    One suggestion here, Is it possible to suggest most popular or most used EA if user selects the particular stock for EA?

    For eg.
    Like if I select stock “tata steel” and for the same stock 100 people are using “Bearish Meeting Line (Short trades)” , 80 people are using “Three White Soldiers and Black Crows” and 50 people are using “Commodity Channel Index (CCI)” from past 7 days.

    So while creating new EA on users side is it possible to list those EA as per their popularity / use for that particular stock (in above case “tata steel” )?

    • hmmm.. we can’t track which user is using what EA. EA’s run locally on the client machine.

      • Abhijeet says:

        you can add facility to share individual EA’s to public if user is interested to help others! Also it will be helpful for all zerodha Pi users to know how other people are making profits, its win win situation for trader – Zerodha – other traders!

        Also with this facility more and more Zerodha users start getting interest in trading regularly

  293. Sravan says:

    Hi,
    1. How to reference the long price in back testing exit long script. If I want to test strategy where I exit long if some condition is satisfied or there is loss of 40 points from buy price, how do i code it in exit long script.i.e how to put stoploss in the backtesting script.
    2. While backtesting index futures, I can only select current futures and expired charts are not available. Backtesting against near month futures makes sense since volumes will be more in near month i,e if i want to test june future, it should use may future to test last month since volumes will be there and april future 2 months before instead of testing june future in may and april since trading activity happens there.
    To conclude availability of index data against near month futures across the months would be very helpful.

    • 1. In the backtest, you have buy, buy exit, sell, sell exit options. If you want to backtest with different conditions for profit booking of buy and sell entry, then you will need to run backtest twice, once for buy strategy and use Sell and sell exit for Profit and SL. Similarly backtest on your sell strategy separately.
      2. Yes best backtest on the underlying rather than the futures since there is no continuous futures data on Pi yet. If your strategy includes volume data, then yeah doing this on index spot will not be possible. We are working on giving continuous future charts in Pi, but this will take some time.

      • sravan says:

        Hi nitin,
        Thanks for the quick reply.

      Thank you for your response. I understand that 9,3,9,SIMPLE are the recommended parameters for Stochastic.
      However, I should be able to provide the custom setting for my strategy to work. The custom settings 40,1,1,SIMPLE have been working very well for me (which I use in my charts). I wanted to code the same for the system to generate the alerts. Please let me know if it is possible to use these settings in the code?

    Hi,
    My trading ID DS5660
    I have gone to your Pi video link and have queries as under:
    1) Is the coding language same for Z-platform and Pi platform ?
    2) Is coding in Pi platform is limited for average and not for professional.?
    3) Can you send me the video link or examples of strategies coding already done for AFL amibroker platform.
    4) What are the aproximate charges for coding, bridge connect and data per month.

    Thanking you for early reply.

    Yours trully,
    S.S.Pereira

    • 1. It is only on Pi.
      2. Tradescript the programming language on Pi is for traders who are not necessarily proficient at coding. SO yeah if you compare it to AFL, what it can do is limited.
      3. Check this post on using Pi bridge for Amibroker http://zerodha.com/z-connect/tradezerodha/pi-bridge/pi-bridge-for-amibroker
      4. We don’t charge anything for coding, and you have to buy data for amibroker from a data vendor (Data on Pi can’t be used for amibroker). Pi bridge for now is free, but it will cost around Rs 300 per month soon.

    as i tried to trade with help of EA in Pi. But it is very difficult to trade as a lot of buy/sell signals are generated after a minute. so it is hard to trade. if one strategy gives buy signal, next minute it gives sell signal. it is very confusing.
    plz help me out

    hi nitin,
    1st time saw a glimpse of pi; though seemed flashy and easy to use, I was unable to access several very basic components;
    1. is DEMA(double EMA), TEMA(triple EMA) provided in the backend? If no, is it possible for me to edit the library and compile it with my own extended set of formulas?
    2. When I ‘Apply exper advisor’ with ‘MACD histogram’ as the choice, no buy/sell indicators of any kind like arrow is present;(I am trying to see how things work at the end of day after market hours)
    please help

    does login to zconnet, tradingQ&A all different?so many logins and so many passwords…. sigh.. :((((

    • 1. You can add upto 10 indicators, so you can add multiple EMA’s individually. You can’t currently create your own indicators.
      2. When you apply expert advisors whenever an alert is generated it shows up on generated alerts window, you will also hear a beep.

    Hi Nitin,

    I am long term investor, though i would like try this automation thing.
    Why this restriction of active trader to get PI?

    Thanks,
    Vivek

    • Vivek, huge amount of resources required to run Pi.So every instance of person using Pi, we will be spending more on the resources. Even if you are not trading, and have atleast 10k in your account, it is considered active.

      • Vivek says:

        So i see this as if i am going to make profit i will become active automatically, else will not use and will free up resources. I do not want my money to sit ideal like minimum balance of bank a/c :), though i have reasonable holding of equity in demat.

        Should not holding be criteria too for PI?

  304. How to download Pi? Where to click for download?

    Nithin.

    I humbly request you that first you give a proper training your team (Those who are giving a demo on Pi). I am new customer of zerodha and I installed Pi. I thought clear some of my questions by arranging a demo. Unfortunately the person who gave a demo does not have a sufficient knowledge on Pi. I was really disappointed. Please setup a separate team only for demo. or else you create a video and publish in youtube. I know most my question were answered in z-connect blog page comments section. But I should go all the comments to find an answer. It is very time consuming. so please consolidate all the questions which is posted here and create a youtube video with answers.

    Thanks

    • Yes Jay, we are putting up videos and we will train the team on this as well.

      • Pyush says:

        Yes Nitin please, Because even i faced the same problem but slowly learning from Z-connect, most of the time even support team cant help on those……..

        I know the effort you are putting and making it investor friendly so the the profit can be earned for both but when these new things comes in market for first time, you just cant leave the investors and traders just like that, this is a great opportunity for you as today in india more new and new young investors and traders are coming make the use of it.

        Hope you will work on it and hope you are really doing good.

    Hai Nithin Sir,

    1) can we code in trade script about know the status of the order placed, and on order completion only place another order(placing orders with condition).?

    2) is their any database connection or file support in pi, to record order number, order status, and values if any for that order.?

    3) how amibroker know the order is completed or in pending.?

    4) is the trail version of amibroker software sufficient to do intraday.?

    5) is pi itself sufficient to fully automate the trading terminal of dealer.?

    6) is their enquiry about order status available in pi(TS) or need support of ami(AFL).?

    7) for pi based semi automation do i need to subscribe datafeeds.?

    8) pi is not installing on my system. my OS date expired, is it the reason?

    9) do you offering any API for pi based automation?

    10) is Trade Script will allow to code for BO, AMO, and Basket Orders?

    Please Answer my Queries here. Dont reply with contatc tsiva or any other?

    • Gopi, I can answer only those which are general queries, anything specific to your account you will still have to send an email to [email protected] 🙂
      1. No, you can’t fetch order status using Tradescript.
      2. Currently no, but we will soon have it for people using Pi bridge.
      3. As of now not possible, people who fire orders using Ami and Pi bridge are doing it as market orders.
      4. Yes
      5. Yes, but we are still not letting this happen.
      6. Using AFL you should be able to fetch order details using Pi bridge soon.
      7. Semi automation on Pi using tradescript – you don’t need datafeeds as it is already available on Pi. If you are semi-atuomating through AFL, you will need data feeds to run Amibroker.
      8. Possible, you need to send an email to [email protected]
      9. The bridge itself can be used for automation.
      10. No

  307. Gopi says:

    pi will fire the orders, then what is the use of amibroker?

    • The programming language on Pi called tradescript is not as advanced as AFL (amibroker formula language). So if it is any complex strategy, you will need to use AFL.

    Dear Nithin,
    Do you have any Mutual Fund Assistance with Zerodha?

  309. akhil says:

    please dont get into investment advisory services market is flooded with those , the only reason i and a lot of other people came here was because of your low cost if you expand into those areas i beleive you wont be able to sustain your low cost
    please a lot of indians only require the basics email statements optional mobile alerts i believe nse does that free of cost for trade confimations //and no hidden charges especially no hidden charges if you charge only what you advertise people will be loyal to you other wise if they see there money drained without prior notification they will instantly switch over

    • Yep, we haven’t done advisory for last 5 years, and don’t intend to get into doing that in the future as well.

      • Pritam says:

        Yes i agree , just concentrate on the scaling to large number of retail clients , no need for stock research etc , only need to get better in improving the technology part like adding more features to mobile app etc .

  310. Honest krishna says:

    Can you generate best trade signals out of using many of these proven strategies and send to the terminal of clients as buy or sell orders with defined risk ratios. You can provide a option to pre select risk (quantity) of different levels and upon selecting the same, quantity should auto appear in the order. It should generate by default bracket order. It should be for top 200 cash liquid stocks, liquid futures,highly traded options, Nifty and nifty options also.
    We believe any recommendation with certain degree of faith, and we have full faith in you systems. This will provide lot of comfort for the clients. You should build expert team to get best trades using all these. For clients who are not pro in technical this will be like heaven. And also no need for clients to invest in costly hardware.

    • Honest krishna says:

      Also if it can be done through call and trade then its awesome.

    • Yes Krishna, but if we give such signals we will be getting into that investment advisory side of business. We don’t want to get there atleast for now. Have replied to ur email.

    Hello Nithin,

    I am facing lot of problems while trading through current zerodha web portal, i am eagerly waiting for using KITE. So can you please let me know when we are planning to launch KITE.

    Thanks

  312. Kiran says:

    Hello Nithin,
    I opened my account at zerodha on nov last year. Since then I have been quite satisfied with the service. But off late I am having some tough experiences from the support team. I really feel I should bring it to your notice, so posting it here. If you could get back to me, I can clarify.

  313. charan says:

    Hi,

    My charts are not loading in PI it says unable to “connect to the data server should be soon” . I am not able trade because of this. whom should i contact for this???

    Thanks

    • Charan, we had sent an email/SMS asking to update Pi with the latest patch available on Q. Go to q.zerodha.com, download the latest patch that you see under Pi menu. Run this patch, it should start working.

  314. sohail says:

    Hello Sir,
    I am sending u these stregies. can these be coded by ur team.
    1. When 12 ema crosses above/ below 26 ema with increae in volume.
    2. When scrip breaks previous day high or previous day low with increase in volume
    3. When scrip is +5% or -5% with increase in volume.
    Does ur software indicates intraday new highs and lows made by the srips.
    Is ur brokerage is same for low volume traders or ocassional traders

  315. Piyush says:

    I want to know the code for ADX and MACD to back test please can anyone help me.

    Thank you

    i got sms regarding new version of Pi dated 11.5.15 but not able to find the link. Please help.

    Thanks

  317. harpreet singh says:

    is there an ea for floor pivots?? if not i request you to add this simple tool to pi …

  318. Samir says:

    Hi Nithin,
    I have 3 Questions.
    1. Why you don’t have Channel breakout indicator in Pi, it does not have to do any calculation at all.
    2. Do you have indicator for Swing trading in Pi,
    3. The Pi upgrade link is not working, every time I enter my user id and password its rejecting, also it blocks after 3 attempts.

  319. Rahul Shah says:

    I have apply EA of 14-26 EMA crossover but I am not able to see any alert in generated alert box why is so?
    and whenever I do anything in artificial intelligence section PI got stuck.

  320. vivek says:

    in the image above(http://zerodha.com/z-connect/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/back2.jpg) a backtest is being done using the 50 ema crossover. somehow i feel it cannot be so profitable as is being suggested by the backtest report(i know its not inclusive of costs. but even if costs are factored in, its still a very good outcome 8782 pts profit may reduce to maybe around 3000 pts).
    my question is: can i fully rely on the backtest report, when even such a simple strategy appears to be easily profitable?

    • Vivek, you can plot the backtest with the chart to see the buy/sell signals on the chart. You can also look at the trades that show up in the backtest report.

      • nipun says:

        I think back test report is not reliable if it computes profit using ltp.
        I have some questions about backtest report ,
        In backtest which price considered ,Is it LTP or Buy/Sell ?
        If Buy trade then it always gives seller price as displayed on live .

  321. Saket says:

    Couple of quick questions:

    (1)Can I automate the trade execution part as well? Meaning if certain conditions are met automatically execute buy/sell of a script(without any manual intervention).

    (2)If above setting is possible, please confirm that once done above setting can be switched ‘on’ until I manually deactivate same.

    I need to take the human emotions completely out of trading.

    Thanks
    Saket

    • The facility is there on the platform to automate trade execution, but we can’t offer as the exchanges in India don’t allow retail automation of trading strategies.

      • Prateek Jhunjhunwala says:

        So an individual trader in India cannot do automated trading, even if he puts more than Rs 2 lacs in his trading account? Any other options which he could explore?

        • Prateek, yes. Exchanges say that if the strategy is running on the brokerage’s server, and if it is approved, it should be okay. But again, regulations around this are very grey.

      • Nilesh says:

        Hi Nitin,
        I have created a strategy and applued it in EA. Now I want to execute the buy / sell orders automatically as per the signals.
        Could you please guide me how i can do it through Pi.

        Thanks

  322. R.K says:

    Hi Nithin,

    I recently opened a a/c with Zerodha, whats the historical data available in Pi, as i could see candle only from 1-Jan-2015 in Bank nifty , and if that is the limit right now, when can we get complete data. thank you

    • R.K, if you are opening futures historical data, you will be able to see it only from when the contract came into existence. So May futures, you can see only from Feb end. If you open spot/index charts, you can see intraday from last 7 to 8 months, historical upto 5 years for top 200 stocks, Nifty and Banknifty.

  323. Arun Kamath says:

    Hope you add ichimoku EA as well

  324. dvr says:

    Hi nitin,
    I want to do this backtest using spot prices, but data source is available for future prices. Is there any way to backtest our code with spot prices?

    • Yes dvr, while backtesting instead of choosing Futures, choose spot. Currently there is historical data for the top 200 stocks, and Nifty/Banknifty spot indices.

      • dvr says:

        Thanks nitin, I think i can’t see the spot option as my account is only enabled by FnO trading only.

        • ah right, so you have to either open a new demat, or send us a client master proof from any other demat that you hold. This can be mapped, after which you will start seeing spot prices as well.

  326. santana pereira says:

    hI nithin,
    I have three queries
    1) In Sharekhan or Geojit when any new updates are available, we have to click in their platform
    software itself. And your software is updated to latest.
    I phone to your support team to update my Pi latest v1.0.0.6, he says I have to write to
    your [email protected], Which delays the matter ?
    2) Also another doubt is the code language used in Zerodha platform and Pi platform is same ?
    Since your Pi is your latest, can I see the link or all codes done in Pi platform. Then only I can decide to go for BRIDGE connect to AMIBROKER.
    3) the alerts generated in Pi platform cannot be transfered to SMS or email, to avoid near the computer whole day.?
    Yours sincerely,
    S.S.Pereira

    • 1. The latest release of Pi has the option “Check for updates” in the help menu.
      2. You can see quite a few sample tradescript codes here. But this is different from AFL used on amibroker, so a little confused on what you are asking.
      3. Not possible for now.

  327. ST says:

    New version is crashing too much. If i open more than one chart it crashes,from morning till now it happened 6 times.

  328. Sushovan says:

    Why not put a option to convert this page as a printable format ? That way I can take a printout instead of opening the page everytime I need to refer.

    Awesome work zerodha for the 100 EAs list (https://zerodha.com/expert-advisors)…..am just lost for words

    “We have also given over 30 public EAs to help you get started on Pi.”
    where are those EAs?

  330. stock hunter says:

    Hi Nithin, I checked Edit expert advisor option but there is no “Apply”menu..Please check the screen shot for your reference

  331. manju says:

    Wud be great if you list all the Amibroker snippet equivalents for TradeScript. For example, the previous candle is defined as Ref( L , -1) whereas here its slightly different i think.

    • Yes Manju, we will introduce all of this here: https://zerodha.com/expert-advisors/. If you have any queries on this do ask on http://tradingqna.com/

      • Sudhir shenoy says:

        Hi Zerodha team. I would like to suggest a technical tip that the renkos is not time bound so the pi should go in 0 minute span immediately we select renko as charting pattern but 0 minute is not a option. Saw that the sensitivity of price is affected by this. The renko is reluctant to form till the minute is over . Please respond

        • Renko on Pi needs some fixes, we are working on it. Suggest you to use the charts on Kite if following Renko.

          • Vishal says:

            Hi Nithin….

            You guys created amazing product/company Zerodha.
            I wonder all strategies are Math calculations. I mean why would any retail investor learn technical analysis when softwares like Pi-bridge can automate strategies execution and make money.

            Do you have any software which can signal buy/sell based on All the indicators and Technical Graphs available. Why we retail investors need to cram/learn.

            Regards,
            Vishal

          • Latha George says:

            Dear Nitin,

            How to make an EA for the following logic

            Paramter Value
            Preferred Timeframe Intraday 1 minute
            Indicators Used RSI(17), ADX(14)
            Buy Condition RSI(17)>=75 AND ADX(14)>25
            Short Condition RSI(17)25
            Sell Condition Same as Short Condition OR Time>=03:15 PM
            Cover Condition Same as Cover Condition OR Time>=03:15 PM
            Stop Loss 0.5%
            Targets No fixed target, Stop and reverse when AFL gives opposite signal
            Position Size 150 (fixed) or 80% of equity (as per your risk appetite)
            Initial Equity 200000
            Brokerage 50 per order

          • Ashit Vora says:

            It should be possible using Kite API. Right?
            ie. Scanning all the stocks and sending a alert when a event is triggered.
