Your choice still goes through the full risk check. Trades already open keep being managed.
Autopilot starts by itself on market days at 9:14 and stops after 3:00 PM. It never places real orders.
Premiums are estimates from India VIX. Check the real price in Kite before acting.
Runs by itself every market evening at 6:30 PM. Delivery (CNC), no leverage.
Runs by itself every market evening at 7:30 PM (a few minutes). It replays what autopilot would have done on each of the last ~60 days and picks the best target size and filter. Autopilot then uses them.
Every evening at 3:40 PM it reviews the day: our pick, what the other top stocks would have done, and why. At 7:30 PM the backtest replays the last ~60 days for every stock, measures which signs really mattered, and switches on a rule only when the evidence is strong (40+ examples on each side). Real confidence needs about 30 paper trades.

In Google Authenticator: + > Enter a setup key, name "Solaris Trade", key:
Waiting for breakout: the stock has not yet closed a 5-minute candle above its first-15-minute high. Nothing to do.
Triggered: it did. Paper mode places a practice BUY at the entry price. Manual mode sends you an alert, and you decide in Kite.
Filled: the practice BUY happened, because the price came back to the entry within 15 minutes. You now hold the shares on paper.
Cancelled: the price ran away and never came back to the entry. Nothing was bought and nothing was lost.
Stop / Target / Flat: how the trade ended. Stop means the stop-loss was hit, Target means the target was hit, Flat means it was closed at 3:00 PM.
R: the result measured against what you risked. +2R means twice your planned risk; -1R means you lost exactly the planned loss.
10,000 replays: the rest of today replayed 10,000 times from this stock's own last 60 days. The top 5 stocks are all replayed, and the best positive one becomes the Stock of the Day. If none is positive, there is no trade.
Backtest: what the whole method would have done on each of the last ~60 days, after charges. It decides the target size and filters autopilot uses.
Kill switch: STOP blocks every new trade until you press Resume.
This app never places real orders. Real orders are always placed by you in Kite.
Intraday: buy and sell the same day. The broker lends extra money (up to 5x, "MIS"), so profits and losses are bigger. Everything is closed by about 3:15 PM. This is what autopilot does.
Opening-range breakout (our main method): note the high and low of the first 15 minutes. If the price breaks above that high with heavy volume, buyers are in control; buy, keep a stop in the middle of that range, and take profit at 1.5-3x the risk.
Swing: buy and hold for 2-10 days with your own money (delivery, "CNC"), riding a trend. Fewer, calmer trades; the Swing tab lists ideas every evening.
Positional / investing: hold for weeks to years. Not what this app is for.
Futures: a contract to buy or sell later at today's price. Big size (one Nifty lot = 65 units), every Nifty point is Rs 65 of profit or loss. Needs a lot more margin than Rs 45,000.
Options: CALL and PUT: a CALL gains when the market rises, a PUT when it falls. The buyer pays a small amount (the premium) and can lose at most that. But the premium melts every hour (time decay), so you need a fast move.
Straddle: buy (or sell) the CALL and PUT of the same strike together. Buying it wins only on a big move either way (results, budget, big news). Selling it wins when nothing happens, but losses can be unlimited and it needs Rs 1.5 lakh+ margin.
Strangle: like a straddle but with strikes further away: cheaper to buy, needs an even bigger move.
Iron condor / iron butterfly: selling a straddle or strangle but also buying protection further out, so the worst loss is fixed. Popular with option sellers on quiet, high-VIX days.
Arbitrage: buying in one place and selling the same thing in another for a tiny sure difference (for example shares vs their futures). It is legal and low-risk, but returns are small (similar to a fixed deposit) and it needs big money and fast systems. Not useful for us.
Scalping: many tiny trades for a few rupees each. Charges eat most of it; not recommended.
Stop-loss: the price where we accept we were wrong and exit, to keep the loss small. Target: the price where we take profit.
R: profit or loss measured in units of the planned risk. +2R = twice what we risked; -1R = the planned loss.
VWAP: the average price of the day weighted by volume. Above VWAP = buyers stronger today.
Higher highs, higher lows: each rise goes higher and each dip stops higher than the last one: an uptrend. Lower highs and lower lows: a downtrend. Autopilot prefers stocks in an uptrend.
Relative volume / "in play": today's early volume compared with normal. 1.5x+ means something is happening in that stock (news, results, big buyers).
Support / resistance: price areas where the stock stopped falling / rising before. Yesterday's high often acts as resistance.
Gap: today opened far from yesterday's close. Circuit: the exchange's daily limit for a stock's move.
India VIX: the market's fear meter. High VIX = expensive options and wide swings.
Expiry: the last day of an options contract. Nifty weekly options end every Tuesday.
Charges: brokerage, STT, exchange fee, GST and stamp duty. Every result in this app is shown after these charges.
Backtest: testing a rule on past data. Paper trading: practising with pretend money in real time.
No strategy wins every time. What does work over many trades is a small set of rules followed every day:
1. Trade with the trend (stock and Nifty going the same way) and only stocks that are in play today.
2. Fixed risk per trade (yours: Rs 450) and a stop on every trade. Winners bigger than losers (target 1.5-3x the risk), so even 40-50% winning trades can make money.
3. Stop for the day after the daily loss limit, and no revenge trades.
4. Skip days with no clean setup. A skipped bad trade is money saved.
5. Option selling wins often but loses big rarely; option buying loses often but wins big rarely. Both need strict size limits.
