Portfolio Framework

A strategy can be created by creating a portfolio first. Thus, a strategy will always be created under a portfolio and cannot be deployed separately. You can choose to save the strategy you’ve just created either as a separate portfolio or save it under any existing portfolio.

Three level description

  • Leg Level: A single order instruction such as: Buy a call option, sell a put option, and so on.
  • Strategy level: a group of legs – including strategy templates
  • Portfolio level: a group of Strategies – including custom if any

Let’s get into the process and flow of creating a portfolio.
