Automating Indian Market F&O Trading Strategies in Python

Algorithmic trading removes emotion from market execution. By automating strategy entry and exit signals based on quantitative indicators, traders can achieve disciplined execution.

Strategy Logic: EMA & RSI Crossover

The bot calculates technical indicators on real-time and historical candlestick data:

• Exponential Moving Average (EMA 9 / EMA 21): Determines trend direction and bullish/bearish crossovers.
• Relative Strength Index (RSI 14): Filters momentum to avoid entering overbought or oversold traps.

import talib
import numpy as np

# Calculating Technical Indicators
ema_short = talib.EMA(close_prices, timeperiod=9)
ema_long = talib.EMA(close_prices, timeperiod=21)
rsi = talib.RSI(close_prices, timeperiod=14)

# Trigger Condition
if ema_short[-1] > ema_long[-1] and rsi[-1] > 55:
    execute_buy_signal()
