Hi there,
has anyone succesfully implemented Put Credit Preads with QuantConnect?
My Goal:
1. When VXX RSI is over 50 SELL a PUT credit spread on the SPY with a delta of -10 to -20.
2. Liquidate the Option trade when max profit of 70% is reached in IBKR.
any good ways to make that happen? If anyone can help me here I can share my algo with you. It generates around 120-200% a year NOT BACK TESTED. Really ran this for 2 years.

I have not done a Put Credit Spread specifically, but I have built option algos that sell puts based on the nearest delta. I could probably adjust it quickly to a put credit spread. I'm Cole S in QC slack.

VXX RSI stays over 50 for a variable amount of time, do you always go for the next month options on this?

Goldie Yalamanchi it depends. if you look at the VIX RSI thats not true. Its quite variable. Its also important to look at the VIX channels, channel highs is also an entry criteria.

I am still trying to implement this --- I first had to do a little research, I have other put buying code but I had to research how to check the delta. Once finished I can share the algo.
Quick question -- what is the VIX channel, channels high? Is that like an indicator like a Bollinger Band or something?
I know that even with VIX RSI >= 60, you get about 6-7 high probablity entries on the vertical put spread for SPY -- going out about 7 days to option expiration from the day that VIX RSI got to 60 and making new high compared to 2 days prior RSI. Only scenario that didn't work well was like the March COVID crash which the RSI stayed above 60 for a while and the 7-day out put spread wasn't profitable.

Rajats179 are you willing to share this code? I was going to make something similar but using IV for the underlying instead. Easier to work from something than try to create it from scratch
