Harinath Jagannatha Rao

Independent derivatives trader and sole developer of a full-stack NSE options trading suite, built from the ground up over two years. I trade NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, MIDCPNIFTY options and MCX commodities through Fyers, Zerodha, and Angel One.

My approach combines a 110-point composite scoring engine with a multi-AI consensus debate system — where Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open-source models argue bull, bear, and risk cases before a trade is taken. Every signal passes through volatility gates, institutional flow analysis, and risk governance before reaching execution.

Based in Bengaluru. Building systematic edge, one module at a time.

Purpose-built infrastructure

Every component developed in-house — from data ingestion and scoring to multi-AI debate, risk governance, and execution gateways.

110-Point Composite Scoring Engine

Every trade candidate is scored across seven weighted dimensions — risk-reward, implied volatility, put-call ratio, delta, market profile, option walls, and skew. Scores are computed from live option chain data and fed into downstream decision layers.

RR / 25Risk-Reward score (25 pts). Evaluates max profit vs max loss, breakeven distance, and probability of profit on the trade structure. IV / 20Implied Volatility score (20 pts). Measures IV rank, IV percentile, and whether current premiums are rich or cheap relative to history. PCR / 15Put-Call Ratio score (15 pts). Analyzes OI-based and volume-based PCR to gauge market sentiment and crowding at key strikes. Delta / 15Delta score (15 pts). Assesses directional exposure, delta-to-theta ratio, and probability of the option expiring in-the-money. MP / 10Market Profile score (10 pts). Uses volume-at-price distribution to identify value areas, POC, and whether price is in balance or imbalance. Wall / 10Option Wall score (10 pts). Detects large OI concentrations at strikes that act as support/resistance — key levels where writers are positioned. Skew / 5Skew score (5 pts). Measures the tilt in IV across strikes — detects hedging activity and directional bets embedded in the options chain.

Multi-AI Consensus Engine

An adversarial debate system where multiple AI models argue bull, bear, and risk cases for each trade. A 5-layer pipeline processes OFS data through specialist debate, score parsing, trade history, and an auto-tweaker that proposes alternatives when the judge says avoid.

ClaudeAnthropic's Claude (Sonnet) — serves as the bull specialist and primary judge in the adversarial debate pipeline. GPTOpenAI GPT-5.1 — used as an alternate specialist. Currently disabled (credits exhausted); role redistributed to other models. GeminiGoogle Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite — serves as the risk auditor, evaluating worst-case scenarios and tail risks for each trade. GroqGroq-hosted Qwen 3.6-27B — ultra-fast inference for the bear specialist role, arguing against every trade proposal. 5-Layer PipelineOFS data → Specialist debate (Bull/Bear/Risk) → Score parsing → Trade history check → Trade Tweaker (auto-proposes alternatives on AVOID).

OFS Research Agent

A FastAPI-based AI research system with 45 registered tools, ChromaDB RAG backend, and a hash-linked audit chain. Provides live trade advisories with option chain data, ATM strikes, premiums, net credit, and multi-point rationale.

FastAPIHigh-performance Python web framework powering the research agent's REST API on port 8530, handling tool routing and query processing. 45 Tools45 registered tools including OI snapshots, IV rank, regime classification, coil compression scanning, IPO tracking, and live trade advisories. ChromaDB RAG481-chunk vector knowledge base for retrieval-augmented generation — stores trading playbooks, strategy docs, and market research for contextual answers. Audit ChainHash-linked audit trail recording every query, tool invocation, and AI response — ensuring full traceability of all research and trade recommendations.

Volatility Framework & Risk Governance

A Sinclair 5-layer volatility framework gates every trade — when realized volatility exceeds implied, the system blocks premium-selling entries automatically. Institutional FII/DII flow signals and a portfolio risk governor add additional layers of protection.

Sinclair VP GateBased on Euan Sinclair's volatility framework — blocks premium-selling trades when realized volatility exceeds implied volatility (no edge in selling). GARCHGeneralized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity — computes realized volatility from 192 OHLC candles for the VP gate comparison. FII/DII FlowsInstitutional flow signals from NSE — tracks Foreign and Domestic Institutional Investor cash market activity to detect large-money directional bias. Risk GovernorPortfolio-level risk management layer — enforces position limits, margin utilization caps, and exposure rules before any trade reaches execution.

AmiBroker Integration & Signal Bus

Custom AFL strategies feed into a confluence scoring engine. TrueData Velocity provides the real-time data feed. Strategy Ensemble V7 with blink signals, walk-forward optimization, and a signal bus connecting AFL output to the Python trading pipeline.

AFLAmiBroker Formula Language — custom strategies including Strategy Ensemble V7 with Supertrend, VWAP, and blink signal generation. TrueDataTrueData Velocity 2.0 — real-time market data feed piping live tick data into AmiBroker for strategy computation and signal generation. Confluence EngineAggregates signals from multiple AFL strategies, OFS verdicts, and options data into a single confluence score for higher-conviction entries. Walk-ForwardWalk-forward optimization methodology — out-of-sample testing to validate strategy parameters and avoid curve-fitting on historical data.
