A THREAD on . . . .
How @ITRADE191 selects strikes to trade in and how he follows risk management.
Short thread explained via pictures with the help of @niki_poojary.
i.e. on Friday and Monday, DJ Sir prefers to sell OTM options of 50 rs premium in Nifty.
- ATM options won't decay a lot at the beginning
- With this premium reward is good
- Since these strikes are 4-5 strikes away they are relatively safer
He prefers to trade in ATM or near OTM options.
- ATM options have the highest theta decay
- Since there are only 2-3 days to expiry options sellers by default have a higher probability of winning
- Huge reward if market stays flat
- Capture huge profit via ATM option selling
- Futures only where he has good conviction
- Even if doesn't trend much decay will be huge
- Only on days Tuesday to Thursday
- INTRADAY trades option selling is ONLY in weekly expiry
- Option buying for hedging is done MAJORLY in next week/monthly expiry
- This way we have time to adjust
- Theta decay slower than weekly
- Collects huge premiums in monthly options
- Lesser adjustments compared to weekly
- Better focus on Intraday trades in weekly
- Lot of time to be proved right/wrong in our trad
- If the target is fulfilled and he doesn't want to cut the position
- He books 70-80% of his profits and
- Keeps the remaining 20% or
- Just books all and sells safer options
- For higher probability on his side
- Always should be a very high accuracy trade
- Resulting in a cushion in terms of profit
- Better psychology to take risk in other trades
- Books whatever profit/loss
- Wants to take a fresh position the next day
- No wasting time firefighting
- Divides risk per day into 4 parts/trades
- When first trade in profit put sl at cost
- Again 4 lifelines restored
- Keep repeating with further trades
His primary focus is on his capital protection & secondary focus is on profit protection
- Beginning risk appetite is of 20k loss
- When in 20k profit then sl is at cost
- For every 10k profit increase raise your sl by 10k
For eg, when in 30k profit stop loss is shifted to 20k (our target). When 40k then sl is 30k and so on. . .

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Few are selling 20-25 Rs positional option selling course.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.
