Trading Strategy:

We were betting on high frequency trading. Hence we were looking for

small profits from large No. of trades every day.

Beginning with small positions and gradually taking very large positions by
averaging out the price expecting the prices to be within a range. This
strategy was adopted to make profits from the very short-time gains.

This strategy didnt allow us to keep strict stop losses, which resulted in
losses on days when the price movements were very high.

As the positions are large, risk exposure was also quite high, which may
lead to abnormal returns or huge losses for very small movements in the
prices of traded derivatives.

Based on our risk appetite, the Minimum proportion of winning days

among overall trading days is 74%.

We should have rather increased the time-gap between two large position
trades since favourable movements have occurred at least 3 times after
we have booked losses.
