📊 OHL Strategy (Open=High/Low)

OHL Stock Picker Filters

OHL Stock Picker Logic:
│
├── Filter 1: Price Range (₹100 - ₹5000)
│   └── Ensures adequate liquidity and manageable position sizes
│
├── Filter 2: Gap Detection
│   ├── Gap Up: Today Open > Yesterday Close (bullish bias)
│   └── Gap Down: Today Open < Yesterday Close (bearish bias)
│
├── Filter 3: Volume Spike (Strict)
│   └── Pre-market volume > 2x average (confirms interest)
│
├── Filter 4: ATR Filter
│   └── ATR% between 1.5% - 4% (need volatility but not extreme)
│
└── Filter 5: Previous Day Trend Clarity
    └── Prev day range / Prev day close > 1% (trending day)

    │   ├── Track Nifty direction (current vs open)
    │   └── Discard stocks where OHL condition breaks
    │
    ▼
09:30-09:45 AM - Entry Window
    │   ├── Nifty Up + O=L stock → Valid BUY candidate
    │   ├── Nifty Down + O=H stock → Valid SHORT candidate
    │   ├── Confirm OHL still valid (high not breached for short)
    │   └── Wait for range breakout trigger
    │

    ├── Entry: Breakout price
    ├── SL: Day High (short) or Day Low (long) OR 10-min range
    └── Target: 1:1.5 to 1:2 Risk-Reward

OHL vs VWAP Strategy

Aspect	VWAP+RSI Strategy	OHL Strategy
Entry Time	Anytime 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM	9:30 AM - 9:45 AM only
Signal Type	VWAP crossover + momentum	Opening pattern + breakout
Trades/Day	4-8 per stock	1-2 per stock
Hold Duration	Minutes to hours	30 min to few hours
Best For	Trending markets	Gap days with momentum

Position Sizing

# ATR-based dynamic sizing
Risk per trade = Capital × (stop_loss_percent / 100)
Price difference = Entry - Stop Loss (from 2×ATR)
Quantity = Risk Amount / Price Difference

# Example:
Capital = ₹100,000
Risk = 0.5% = ₹500
Entry = ₹1000, Stop Loss = ₹990 (ATR-based)
Quantity = ₹500 / ₹10 = 50 shares

Validation Checklist

📚 Professional Techniques Implemented

This bot includes techniques used by professional algorithmic traders:

✅ Candle Close Confirmation - Eliminate tick noise
✅ Pivot Point S/R Levels - Context-aware entries
✅ Consolidation Detection - Avoid whipsaw zones
✅ Volume Surge Filtering - Breakout confirmation
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysis - Pre-market + real-time
✅ Transaction Cost Modeling - Realistic P&L

Rating: 6/6 professional techniques ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. No entry signals generated

Check if consolidation threshold is too strict (increase to 0.8%)
Lower volume threshold to 1.3x if market is quiet
Verify pivot points calculated in pre-market logs

2. Too many signals (still getting whipsaws)

Increase volume threshold to 1.8x
Enable require_pivot_confluence = True (strict mode)
Verify candle close detection working (check logs)

3. Dashboard shows wrong timezone

All timestamps now use IST (fixed)
Check src/utils/timezone.py imported correctly

4. API rate limits

Angel One: ~3 req/sec for historical data
Pre-market analysis caches pivot data
WebSocket for real-time (no rate limits)
