How to make 1% consistently via Option Selling?

• Analyzing the trend
• Selling OTM's
• Making adjustments
• Capturing trending move
• Without big drawdowns
• Right Position Sizing
• Risk Management

Here are the 11 aspects to focus on:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1. Analyze the trend:

To begin with, determine whether Bank Nifty is trending, consolidating, or stuck in a range.

Why?

Cause we can predict what it will do then.
2. How many points to capture?

The margin required for selling one lot is around Rs. 1.5 lakh for a strangle.

If we earn around Rs. 1500 on one lot, we would make 1% return on our capital.

1500/25 = 60 points

Either sell directional 60 and make it zero.

Or 30-30 both sides.
3. How do we begin in the weekly expiry?

Can tend to skip Friday's as there are two days holiday.

In those 2 days market has ample time to come out with news, react to SGX and so forth.

So from a R:R perspective it is not great to carry from Friday.
Even the decay isn't huge if you see unless there's a big gap and you are on the correct size of it.

The Weekly candle also is from Monday to Friday.

So at Friday EOD we know how the weekly candle looks as well.
4. What was the recent trend?

If the market was consolidating recently then we are going to wait for a proper breakout or breakdown.

If it is taking too much time we can sell far otms.

But with the intention of exiting the strangle when a breakout/breakout happens.
5. Post-significant movement:

Post a big movement in the weekly candle, we are looking for an inside candle in the current week.

Thereby we would look for selling strangles as they would be most rewarding.

Usually can target around 30-40 rs premiums.
6. Adjustments:

Adjustments can generate more returns than you had originally planned.

Basic rolling up and down can be done to extract higher premiums.

Can't adjust every move though, so should know when to exit.

Here is where levels come into play.
7. Capturing trending move:

There are levels after which Bank Nifty is going to make a big move.

In my Youtube channel as well as my twitter, I always share my bias.
I mark S1, S2, S3 and R1, R2 and R3.

Sometimes I don't mark one side at all.

That's when I am expecting a trending move.

8. Without big drawdowns:

Don't take more than a 3% hit.

I have seen traders usually lose their minds when they lose more than this. The cycle of bad trading originates after this.

So we have to ensure to not let it happen in the first place.

Psychology needs to be intact.
9. Right Position Sizing:

On Rs. 10 Lakh maximum you can sell is 6 lots.

Beginner should avoid any leverage unless they are profitable for 6 months consistently.

Don't enter all your qty at once.

Stagger the qty as and when you make profits.
10. Risk Management:

Do respect your SL.

Never change it based on Hope or your bias as you always go wrong as the market is supreme. Your SL should be the one which you had planned before taking an entry in the trade.
11. Pro Tip: Go and backtest:

Can go and backtest your trading and look for areas for improvement.

Forward testing is also essential to see if you can do it in the live markets and keep a check on your emotions when trend is not in favour but your SL is also not hit.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
