Strategy library
Rule-based options strategies you run yourself, as automations on your own broker. We only list what we've validated — each card says whether it is running live or still in paper trial. More are added as we back-test and agree. Test any in paper for free, then run it live. Rapfin automates; it does not give advice.

Build any multi-leg strategy — entries, exits, stop-loss, hedges — then back-test and paper it. No code.

About this strategy ▾
A buy-side momentum strategy for traders starting with modest capital.

You choose which of the intraday entry windows (09:20 to 14:00) to automate; each runs automatically every trading day.
