Every fresh analyst is taught this blueprint:
• Introduction & context on one slide
• Always lead with the conclusion
• Pyramid argument structure
• Title storyline & slide flow
Let's break it down, so you can apply it too:
Situation: what's the current state?
Complication: what needs to change?
Question: how can you solve the complication?
Answer: this one deserves it's own slide, up next.
This tells your audience WHY they should read on.
Example:
Put your conclusion out there, and let people digest it.
Explain WHY this is the answer later on.
Example:
• Back your conclusion with 3-5 key arguments
• Support your arguments with findings & data
• 1 argument per slide, drive your point home
• Nothing overlaps, nothing is missing
• "Nice to haves" go in the appendix
Example:
A busy executive only scans the titles.
Will they get your point?
A great slide title:
• Presents the slides' takeaway
• Clearly makes the main argument
• Answers why the audience should care - "So what?"
Example:
You've made your point in the title, now support it:
• Explain how your data leads to the takeaway
• Show supporting data & findings
• Give context to the argument
Example:
• Set the stage
• Provide context
• Lead with the answer
• Let the titles tell the story
• Break your arguments down
• Create slides that support the title
Let's put this thread's core ideas to the test:
• Started with context & the answer
• The first line of each Tweet tells the overall story
• The rest of each Tweet explains & supports the title

A THREAD ON @SarangSood
Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.
Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen
1. Keeps following volatility super closely.
Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.
Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.
2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.
3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result
He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.
4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.

Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.

This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.

There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.
