How To Create A Naked Call Bot

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Naked Call Bot


This guide will walk you through the process of creating a Naked Call Auto Trader bot. You can expect to see steps for selecting symbols, setting expiration dates, choosing strike prices, and determining whether to buy or sell a call option. The guide also covers defining trade entry and exit conditions, managing your bot's buying power, and reviewing settings before finalizing your Auto Trader.

Step 1: Access the Dashboard

  • Start by clicking on the Dashboard page.

Step 2: Create an Auto Trader

  • Click on the Create an Auto Trader button.

Step 3: Select Naked Calls

  • From the options, select Naked Calls.

Step 4: Pick the Symbol

  • Choose the symbol you want to trade.

Step 5: Set Days Until Expiration

  • Choose the expiration time (e.g., 0 days to any desired expiration period).

Step 6: Choose Strike Price

  • Set the strike price based on options like Delta, out-of-the-money, dollar amount, percentage, or target option price.

Step 7: Set the Position (Buy or Sell)

  • Choose whether you want to sell or buy the call:

    • Negative Delta (e.g., -1) means selling the call (e.g., covered call strategy).

    • Positive Delta (e.g., +1) means buying the call to take advantage of upward movement.

Step 8: Define Trade Entry Frequency

  • Set how often you want to enter the trade:

    • Choose a specific day (e.g., once a week), session, or time.

    • Optionally, integrate TradingView indicators for more specific entry rules.

Step 9: Set Exit Conditions

  • Define when you want to exit the trade:

    • Set rules for take profit, stop loss, and early management (e.g., closing the trade early).

Step 10: Manage Advanced Settings (Optional)

  • Customize other advanced settings if necessary.

Step 11: Define Buying Power Allocation

  • Set how much money the bot is allowed to trade with:

    • For example, if each trade requires $500 and you plan to handle 5 trades, allocate at least $2,500 to the bot.

Step 12: Review Settings

  • Click Save and Continue to review all the settings and ensure they align with your preferences.

Step 13: Authorize and Save

  • If everything looks good, click Authorize to confirm the settings and then click Save to finalize the Auto Trader.
