Long & Short Strategies

The AI engages both bullish and bearish setups. No manual switching between market regimes.

Going Long on NSE Equities

When the system detects trend alignment — momentum, volume confirmation, rising delivery volumes, and net FII buying — it opens long positions on NIFTY 50 constituents.

Positions are held until momentum weakens or the trailing stop is hit. Shares sit in your demat account throughout.

Signal: Momentum aligned, FII net buyers
Action: Open long on NIFTY 50 leader
Stop loss: ATR-based, placed at broker
Exit: Trailing stop or reversal signal

Short Exposure via F&O

On confirmed bearish regimes — bearish divergences, rising India VIX, net FII selling — the system opens short exposure via Nifty and Bank Nifty futures and options.

Short capability lets the system seek returns even in declining markets — a structural advantage over long-only approaches.

Signal: Nifty below key moving average, VIX rising
Action: Open short on index futures
Stop loss: ATR-based, placed at broker
Exit: Trailing stop or reversal signal

How the AI Detects Market Direction

The system does not rely on any single indicator. It combines trend structure, momentum (RSI, MACD), volatility (Bollinger Bands, ATR), volume confirmation (delivery percentage, volume ratio), institutional flow (FII/DII), and derivatives positioning (open interest). All inputs feed a confidence model — a long trade requires bullish alignment across the majority of signals, a short trade requires bearish alignment, and mixed signals result in no trade.

Real-Time Market Intelligence

Every data source that matters for Indian markets, processed in seconds.

Data Sources for Indian Markets

  • NSE real-time price feeds (equity and F&O)
  • BSE price data for dual-listed securities
  • FII and DII daily activity reports
  • NSE delivery volume data
  • Open interest and change in OI for F&O contracts
  • India VIX (volatility index)
  • RBI monetary policy announcements
  • CPI and WPI inflation data releases
  • Corporate earnings results and guidance
  • Live financial news from Indian business outlets
  • Global cues: US futures, crude oil, USD/INR

FII/DII Flow — Why It Matters

Foreign and domestic institutional investors collectively drive the majority of NSE volume. Sustained FII buying tends to support rallies; aggressive FII selling tends to precede corrections.

The AI tracks daily FII/DII net activity and feeds it as a directional signal alongside technical and derivatives data.

Delivery Volume — Why It Matters

On the NSE, a large share of traded volume is intraday speculation squared off before close. Delivery volume represents shares actually transferred to demat accounts — real conviction. A breakout with high delivery volume is more reliable than one driven purely by intraday flow.

News Processing

The AI monitors major Indian financial news continuously during market hours. When a significant event is detected — an earnings surprise, a regulatory change, an RBI announcement — the system evaluates its likely impact on relevant open positions and signals. Positive news may widen trailing stops; negative news may trigger an earlier exit.

Speed Advantage

A human trader might take minutes to read news, check FII data, evaluate open interest, and decide. The AI processes these inputs simultaneously and reaches a decision in seconds — most valuable during volatile sessions like budget day, RBI policy, or earnings season.

Advanced Risk Management

Capital preservation is the foundation, not a feature.

Position Sizing

The system determines position size using three inputs: total account capital, confidence score of the trade, and current ATR (volatility).

Inputs: capital, confidence, ATR
Higher confidence → larger allocation
Higher volatility → smaller allocation
Per-trade cap enforced regardless of confidence

Per-trade caps scale with plan and risk settings. Higher-confidence trades receive larger allocations within the cap; lower-confidence trades receive smaller allocations.

ATR-Based Stop Losses

Fixed percentage stops ignore volatility differences across instruments. A 3% stop on a volatile mid-cap might trigger daily; the same stop on a stable large-cap might be too wide.

ATR-based stops adapt: the stop is placed at a multiple of the instrument's ATR below entry, sitting at your broker so it executes even if our system is offline.

Trailing Stops

As a position moves into profit, the stop follows at the ATR-calculated distance below the highest price reached. This progressively locks in gains and reduces the chance of giving back profits, though it cannot guarantee any outcome.

Daily Drawdown Pause

If the portfolio drops beyond the daily drawdown limit, all trading activity pauses until the next session. This circuit breaker is designed to limit losses on abnormal days — gap downs, flash crashes, cascading sell-offs.

Extreme Market Events

In sharp declines, stop losses fire automatically and the drawdown pause halts further activity. The system will not attempt to "buy the dip" during a crash. It waits for volatility to stabilise and confidence to recover before re-entering.

Adaptive AI Engine

The system continuously evaluates its own trades and adapts within a risk envelope.

Performance Review Cycle

The AI runs automated reviews across completed trades. The review examines:

  • Which signals contributed most to winning trades
  • Which signals were present in losing trades
  • Whether stop losses were too tight or too wide
  • Whether position sizing was appropriate for the volatility
  • Entry timing — too early, too late, or aligned with the move

Pattern Recognition

Over time, the AI identifies recurring patterns specific to Indian markets, such as:

  • Sectors that respond predictably to FII flows
  • Behaviour of index constituents around earnings
  • Nifty and Bank Nifty behaviour in expiry weeks
  • Budget-day volatility patterns

These patterns inform future decisions, but the system does not promise they will repeat.

Confidence Model Recalibration

As the system processes more trade history, it refines its confidence scoring. Signals that consistently predict winners are upweighted; signals that generate false positives are downweighted. This calibration happens within a fixed risk envelope — the model cannot override the per-trade and daily drawdown limits.

Regime Detection

Markets shift between trending, range-bound, and high-volatility regimes. The AI detects these transitions and adjusts its strategy — for example, shifting from momentum-based entries to mean-reversion entries when the market goes range-bound. Adaptation is automatic, but no adaptation guarantees future results.

Multi-Asset Coverage

NIFTY 50 equities and Nifty/Bank Nifty options via your broker. Crypto markets monitored for correlation signals.

NSE Equities & F&O

The system trades NSE-listed equities and Nifty/Bank Nifty F&O contracts during standard market hours: 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST, Monday–Friday (excluding NSE holidays).

Pre-market analysis begins at 9:00 AM. The AI evaluates overnight global cues (US close, Asian opens, crude oil, USD/INR), SGX Nifty futures, and pre-open auction data before placing any orders.

Crypto — Correlation Signals

Crypto markets are monitored continuously for correlation signals that inform positioning on Indian assets. Crypto is not treated as a standalone speculative add-on.

All execution happens in your regulated Indian broker account. Your plan determines which F&O segments are active — see pricing for details.

Full Custody & Security

Your money stays in your account. We never touch it.

Trade-Only API — Deep Dive

The API credentials you provide grant a strictly limited set of permissions. Your broker (Zerodha, Upstox, Angel One, 5Paisa, or Fyers) enforces these permissions at their server level. Even if our system were compromised, the API credentials cannot be used to withdraw funds or access personal information.

This is fundamentally different from giving someone power of attorney or sharing login credentials. The API is scoped — it can only do what the broker permits, and brokers do not permit fund withdrawals via API.

SEBI Regulation Through Your Broker

Your broker is SEBI-registered and subject to its regulations on client fund segregation, margin requirements, and investor protection.

Your funds are held in your broker's client account, segregated from the broker's own capital, as mandated by SEBI. You benefit from the same regulatory protections as any other retail investor.

How to Disconnect

You can revoke API access at any time from your broker's settings page:

  1. Log in to your brokerage account
  2. Navigate to the API or connected apps section
  3. Find Sleeping Trade and click "Revoke" or "Delete"
  4. API access is terminated immediately

Once revoked, our system cannot place any further trades. Any open positions remain in your account under your control. Subscription commitment terms still apply — see Terms of Service.

Data Encryption & Storage

API credentials are encrypted at rest and transmitted exclusively over TLS 1.3 encrypted connections. Credentials live in isolated, access-controlled environments.

What We Store

  • Your encrypted API key and secret
  • Trade history and performance data
  • Your email address and chosen plan

What We Never See

  • Your broker login password
  • Your PAN number or Aadhaar
  • Your bank account details
  • Your demat holding statement
  • Your personal financial information beyond trading activity
