👣 ALGO-BigFootprints 2025: A Strategic Initiative

One instrument, unparalleled in size, cannot be moved or influenced unilaterally, even by the largest institutions or hedge funds. While the Federal Reserve (FED) is not directly involved, its policies and statements carry significant weight. This reinforces the well-known adage, 'Never Fight the Fed.

"Indeed, it is the S&P 500 Index ($SPX), a dominant force in the market."

The S&P 500® is widely recognized as the benchmark for large-cap U.S. equities. It includes 500 leading companies and represents approximately 80% of the total market capitalization.

Options are complex derivatives influenced by various factors, including the underlying asset price, strike price, time to expiration, and interest rates. In addition, traders must navigate 'the Greeks,' which include Delta, Theta, Gamma, and Vega, each representing a distinct aspect of options pricing and risk."

Additionally, there are numerous technical indicators that play a significant role in market analysis. For a comprehensive list, please refer to the following link: https://lnkd.in/gAvAZPnN.

While these terms may sound intriguing for casual conversation during the holidays, I personally find them a bit challenging to fully grasp—despite my background as an IIT graduate

$SPX options are significantly more expensive due to the notional value of the underlying instrument. However, these options are cash-settled, which is a considerable advantage.

PROJECT #ALGO-BIGfootprints 2025:
It is certain, much like taxes and death, that this market moves. And as it does, it leaves traces that we will refer to as BIGfootprints.


The chart below has been optimized for volatility (whatever that entails) and is not based on a time axis. Any replications or similar charts are welcome to join me in Mexico soon. BYOT (Bring Your Own Tools) :)

This project will exclude all option parameters and Greeks mentioned earlier. Our primary focus will be on one specific factor: directional big footprints.

Is it unconventional? Perhaps. Crazy? Maybe. 💀

Your ideas, comments, and suggestions are most welcome!

Regardless, let’s embrace the journey. Whether it's time for caution or risk—the choice is always yours.

👣 ALGOMETATRENDS using BIGfootprints

Institutional investors and major market participants are the true drivers of market movements. These entities are not "random" players, they operate based on highly sophisticated strategies and proprietary setups that remain confidential - closely guarded business secret. However, these institutions leave behind identifiable "footprints" in the market. By identifying and interpreting these footprints, it becomes easier to understand and follow trending market moves. Over years of collaboration with in-house Chartered Market Technician (CMT), we have developed "ALGOMETATRENDS", a system designed to identify these unique institutional footprints, or "BIGfootprints". This algorithm not only generates actionable signals but also includes predefined risk management through stop-loss levels ("STOPS"). BIGfootprints enable a structured, rules-based approach to identifying and following trends. Join us for valuable insights into the process an...

LIFE before BIGfootprints :)

Managed a proprietary trading office for three years prior to the pandemic, concluding operations in 2015. Key Takeaways : This experience underscored the immense value of learning from both failed ventures and traders. Over the course of managing the office, we engaged with over 55 traders—each highly ambitious but often carrying unrealistic expectations. Many aspired to achieve significant financial success within just 3–4 months, yet lacked the financial resilience to sustain themselves during the early stages without steady income. Challenges and Learnings : Burnout occurred rapidly for many traders, especially during the early stages, when they were repeatedly stopped out on a daily basis. The system in place incorporated built-in daily stop losses, and some traders found themselves hitting these limits by 10:30 AM, forcing them to either leave for the day or remain and trade with "dummy money." The majority chose to exit. Key Insight : Through this experience, I develop...
