Identity and market#

|---|---|
| Name | Your label for finding this algorithm |
| Exchange | The market used for instrument selection |
| Instrument | The selected underlying or security |
| Timeframe | The candle interval used by the signal rules |

| Trade Direction | The directions allowed by the strategy configuration |

Available values come from the app's current capabilities. Do not assume every exchange supports every strategy or interval.
Contract and sizing#
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Expiry selection | How the derivative's expiry is chosen |
| Specific expiry | An explicitly selected contract date |
| Strike Offset | A relative option strike selection; use the selector's units and permitted values |
| Lots | Number of contract lots |
| Quantity | Units or shares; not necessarily the same as lots |
| Order Type | The order behavior exposed for the selected product |
See contracts and sizing before changing these values.
Risk fields#
| Field | Unit or interpretation |
|---|---|
| Target | Rupees or points, as selected by Target Unit |
| Stop Loss | Rupees or points, as selected by Stop Loss Unit |
| Trailing Stop | Separate enabled/disabled control |
| Trailing Distance | Rupees, points, or percentage according to Trailing Type |
| Maximum Daily Loss | Rupees in the shared indicator builder |
| Maximum Daily Profit | Rupees in the shared indicator builder |
For value-driven target, stop, and daily-limit inputs, a positive number enables the rule. Zero, blank, or an absent value does not enable it. Do not interpret zero as a zero-loss guarantee.
Schedule fields#
Entry Start Time controls the beginning of the entry window. Trading End Time stops new entries. Mandatory Square-Off Time is the separate control shown for eligible derivative positions.
Maximum Trades and waiting-period controls limit activity; they do not guarantee an order will occur. See scheduling.
Defaults and validation#
Always review the value actually shown in your form. Saved algorithms can retain older values, and defaults can change by strategy. Strategy pages describe observed form defaults where available, not universal recommended settings.
