Backtest SENSEX weekly options
SENSEX options trade on BSE with their own weekly expiry, and many traders now sell them alongside NIFTY. Candleback backtests SENSEX option legs on minute candles, with BSE's own charges and lot sizes.
Same builder, BSE rules
Choose SENSEX as the instrument and every leg, exit and re-entry works the same way as on NIFTY. Charges follow BSE's fee schedule, and the strike gap and lot size follow the exchange's contract details.
Compare it with NIFTY
Run the same rule on NIFTY and SENSEX and put the two side by side on the Compare page: equity curves, drawdown, win rate and charges. It shows quickly whether an edge holds on both or depends on one index.
Questions
