Business Plan: Investment Tracking & Options Selling App
1. Overview
The app will provide an automated platform to track investments in well-known stocks with strong fundamentals and assist users in implementing a conservative options-selling strategy. The primary goal is to generate a consistent 1% monthly return on the invested amount through strategic Call (CE) and Put (PE) option selling, while minimizing risk through calculated adjustments.
2. Objectives
- Automate Option Calculations: Suggest optimal CE and PE strikes to ensure a 1% monthly return.
- Track Investments: Monitor lot-based stock investments and adjust strategies as needed.
- Risk Mitigation: Implement dual-option selling (CE and PE) if required to meet the 1% target.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Integrate fundamental and technical analysis for smarter trades.
- User Insights: Provide clear reporting and alerts on market movements and strategies.
3. Key Features
a) Investment Tracking
- Track investments by stock, lot size, and average price.
- Monitor price fluctuations and dynamically adjust strategy.
b) Automated Option Suggestions
- Calculate and suggest CE to sell for a 1% premium based on the total investment.
- If CE cannot generate 1%, suggest a PE to sell to complete the difference.
c) Dual-Leg Strategy (CE + PE)
- In case of a significant market decline, sell a PE to ensure a combined 1% premium.
- Adjust the average price when purchasing additional lots.
d) Data Integration
- Use Opstra or similar APIs to fetch live option chain data.
- Analyze technical and fundamental indicators to guide PE/CE decisions.
e) Dynamic Adjustments
- Automatically recalculate new average price on additional lot purchases.
- Suggest CE and PE strikes based on the new average price and investment size.
f) Reporting & Notifications
- Provide users with monthly summaries of gains, losses, and open positions.
- Send alerts if the market moves sharply or if adjustments are required.
4. User Workflow
- Stock Entry: User enters stock, lot size, and purchase price.
- Option Calculation: App suggests CE for 1% premium.
- Market Monitoring: If market drops, adjust by:
- Selling CE at or above buy price.
- If 1% premium is not achievable, suggest an additional PE.
- Reinvestment: If stock drops to a critical level, suggest a new purchase and update the average price.
- Continuous Optimization: Repeat the process to maintain 1% monthly returns.
5. Example Calculation Workflow
- Initial Purchase:
- Buy 75 SIEMENS shares @ 5000.
- Total Investment: 5000 * 75 = 375,000.
- Sell CE @ 5400 for a premium of 3750 (1%).
- Market Drop (Month 2):
- SIEMENS drops to 4600.
- Sell CE @ 5000 for a premium of 3750.
- Further Drop (Month 3):
- SIEMENS falls to 4300.
- Sell CE @ 5000, but only get 2500 in premium.
- App suggests selling a PE to reach the 3750 target (e.g., PE @ 3900).
- Major Drop (Month 4):
- SIEMENS falls to 3800.
- Buy a new lot @ 3900.
- New Investment: 5000 * 75 + 3900 * 75 = 667,500.
- New Average: 667,500 / 150 = 4450.
- Sell CE @ 4450 and additional PE to maintain 1% premium.
6. Technical Architecture

- Backend: Node.js (for calculations and API integrations)
