The best spreads trader on Twitter: @Ronak_Unadkat

He trades in Nifty & Bank Nifty via spreads majorly.

In the Jainam Broking Speech, he shared how he trades debit and credit spreads:

Here's a breakdown of his 10 step method: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

 1. Why trade via spreads?

Overnight risk will be always capped
Limited Risk will keep you cool
Hedge our position

Strictly not to do for margin, as that will lead to overleveraging.

Traders Sell option for 100 and buy 10 rs option.

That is for margin reduction, not a spread.
2. Circuit:

If the market opens at the lower circuit or upper circuit, then our loss should be limited.

Eg - Expiry Trading on the 24th Feb Expiry

The market gapped down & traders lost huge sums of money.

Some lost 15% or 20% of their capital in a 4% index move.
If in 4% people are losing so huge then imagine if Modi says black money is back, we will open at an upper circuit.

If India-Pakistan tension news comes again we will open at a lower circuit.

In a 4% index move, people lost 10%, so in the case of a circuit, they will lose 50%.
To recover a 50% loss on capital, you need to make 100% returns with the leftover capital to break even.

In these cases, spreads cover your risk.

Even he lost 3-4% of capital on 24th but it is easy to recover in 1-2 months.
3. Rules:

Shouldn't lose more than 15% of your capital in case of a lower circuit. (Worst scenario)

Adjustments become easy if the risk is capped.

Doesn't care for greeks but you should know if delta or gamma impacts you, what is our risk we should always be aware of it.
4. Adjustments:

If the market goes against you in a debit spread, you can adjust by selling more options to make it a ratio spread.

Debit Spreads adjustments he does by converting it to a ratio.
Credit spreads no adjustments only stop loss.
5. Holding power:

If you trade in debit spreads, your 100 comes down to 60 but the 40 rs sold one will come down to 25.

If you bought naked options, then your 100 rs when it comes to 50, you will get out due to 50% capital loss.

After some time it goes back to cost. (regret)
In the case of selling options:

Selling naked options at 100, you will get out when it becomes 200.

Imagine you've sold the 100 rs option and bought a 40rs one for 60 rs credit.

If the 100 becomes 200 then 40 will become 80 so you can hold.

The worst-case loss is fixed.
6. SL hitting without index level move

If you have an index level stop loss, you will get out in naked option s if it doubles without it even touching your level.

They will double and then come back to the price you sold it at.

Whereas in spreads, you can wait out the moves.
7. Overnight Risk:

In credit spreads, you will sell high premiums and buy lower premiums.

To counter this some people think to sell naked options whatever the credit you received in the credit spread.

But the overnight risk is huge in that case.
8. Risk Reward:

Risk reward is not in your favor in such trades.

But the probability is always there. So you will win 8/10 times.

This win rate ensures we make money.
9. When to use which strategy?

During Breakout/Breakdowns go for debit spreads.
You'll get quick money in such trades.

For reversal trades, use credit spreads.
Premiums vanish very quickly in this case.
10. Setup for debit spreads

When PDH breaks trade a call debit spread, keep the current day low as stop loss and trail via swing lows.

When PDL breaks trade a put debit spread, then keep the current day high as stop loss and trail via swing highs.
During Reversals:

Sell Credit spreads during reversals as they help you in case of IV spike

You are protected from IV spikes if you play reversals.

Debit Spreads won't make sense in reversals due to IV crush.
This is the only thread you'll need on spreads trading.

2. Long Unwinding (Price down and OI down)
3. Short Buildup (Price down and OI up)
4. Short Covering (Price up and OI down)

(2/5)


1. 15 mins Built up can check in any stock
2. Easy to find Intraday Bullish and bearish trend
3. Eg of Bajaj Auto who was up 9% on Friday. Long Built up had started in the morning itself.
4. Shows the quantities also which are being traded in those intervals.

(3/5)


5. There are 25 time intervals available everyday.
6. If a stock has to go up or down a lot it will be heavily dominated in these time intervals.
7. Bajaj Auto had 14 times long built up on Friday.
8. IndusInd Bank had 13 short built ups on Friday. IndusInd fell 3.5%.

(4/5)


Some people5 check the last 45 mins data of the day too to predict the gap opening for the next day.
Data gives them additional conviction, especially if huge contracts addition is taking place.

Short Straddle is the highest payoff strategy in Option Selling.

However, it comes with huge risks as well.

You become good at managing Straddles with adjustments.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown on them:

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

🧵

1/ Longer-term short straddle:

If you're a fan of very big ranges for your trades, you'll get the biggest one in long-term options.

Long Term can be 3 months, 6 months, or a year away as well.

The only drawback with longer-term straddles is the slippage.

Example:


In the above example, in the March expiry, we have collected 1500 points in the 18000 Nifty Straddle.

This is actually low risk compared to the monthly or weekly Straddles.

Beginners:

Can try their hands at long-term options.

You'll get sufficient time to adjust and learn.

2/ Weekly expiries will have a very short range:

Higher risk.

Frequent adjustments.

Below is an example of a weekly Straddle in Bank Nifty.

Premium Collected: 700 points

Bank Nifty at times, moves more than this in a day.


Due to these small ranges, people prefer to do weekly Iron Fly instead of Straddles.

This takes care of the undefined risk in a small range in Straddles.

Also requires very slow and easier adjustments.

Technical Analysis and 3 Strategies to deploy for Aggressive, Moderate, and Conservative Traders.

🧵 Weekly Bank Nifty Analysis for 8th December Expiry:


To form a view, let's have a look at:

1. Multi-timeframe Technical Analysis
2. Option Chain Data

Also, 3 strategies to deploy for:

1. Aggressive Traders (2.6%)
2. Moderate Risk Traders (1.3%)
3. Low-Risk Traders (0.8%)


1. Technicals

Let's start by doing some basic technical analysis.

We'll look at:

• Weekly charts.
• Daily charts.
• Hourly / 60 min charts.
• 15 min charts.

1. Weekly-

• The market has given 4 continuous green closes, so not expecting a big momentum on upside.

• This week my view is that it can take a pause.

• Longer term trend is super bullish.

• Any dip will towards 41800 will be a retest, and should be used to go long.


2. Daily:

• Candlestick pattern—Hanging Man

• Chart Pattern—Breakout Failure

• A pin bar candle is very powerful but only after a downmove.

• Here it forms near the top of upmove.

• Means some sellers are present. Below 43000 can sell calls above 43600 for the week.

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.

10 mistakes in my 14 years of trading as an option seller 🧵

1. Staying neutral all the time. Majority of the years i have been a neutral option seller. I now realise that having a little sense of direction would have given me an added advantage with better utilisation of capital & also leverage (till the time it was available).

2. Too much importance on adjustments. Initially like most of the new option sellers, i had this notion that i can perfect my adjustment skills for any market conditions. Ofcourse i was wrong. Market is supreme & we need to respect it at times.

3. Not giving importance to greeks. For initial 6 years i didn't even know the existence of greeks. Since i started using them, option selling has become rather less complicated on the contrary of what most people believe.

4. Having too much confidence on the certainty of theta decay. Enough is said about it already. Theta decay is not an edge.

Marvels of Medical Science in Ancient India

ACHARYA SUSHRUTA and SUSHRUTA SAMHITA

Ancient Indians were pioneers in diverse fields of study and their genius was centuries ahead of their times. Feel the glory, basking in pride of their unparalleled achievements.

(Thread)


Sushruta (circa 7th or 6th century BC) was a surgeon who in present times is known as the “father of Indian medicine” and “father of plastic surgery” for inventing and developing surgical procedures. He lived in Kashi on the banks of river Ganga.(1)

His work documented in the Sushruta Samhita (compendium) is one of the oldest texts in the world on plastic surgery and regarded as one of the trilogies of Ayurveda. The other 2 being the Charaka Samhita and Astanga Hridaya.(2)

Sushruta compiled the Sushruta Samhita as an instruction manual for physicians to treat patients.(3)

The Story of how Mary Slessor Stopped the killing of Twins but sadly died of Fever.

All you need to know

Retweet to educate someone


Killing new-born twins was common practice in the 19th century among the Ibibio people of Nigeria, but one Scotswoman went to great lengths to put an end to this.

Aberdeen-born Mary Slessor was one of the few missionaries in Africa who learnt the local language, adapted to the native customs and environment and gained the trust of the locals in order to make a truly positive impact.

Her father, a shoe-maker from Buchan, became incapacitated by alcoholism and Mary more or less became the breadwinner for the family.

From the age of 11, she worked as a ‘half-timer’ mill girl in the Baxter Brothers and Co Ltd, spending half the day at a school provided by the mill owners and the other half working for the company

Yantrodharaka Anjaneya Temple, Hampi, Karnataka.

This temple dedicated to pawanputra Hanuman, near the banks of Tungabhadra river was built by dwaita philosopher and rajguru of the Vijayanagar empire, Sri Vyasaraja around +500 years ago.


:It is only in this temple that Hanuman appears in a prayer position. In this image, Bhagwan Hanuman’s crown has been formed by his tail.12 monkeys have been carved around this amulet.


:They represent the 12 days Sri Vyasaraja prayed to Hanuman ji. Each monkey holds the tail of the monkey in front of him but is facing backward. Seed syllables have also been carved around the amulet.


:It is believed that Sri Vyasaraja used to draw a picture of lord Hanuman here on the rocks before offering prayers using charcoal and the sketch disappeared after prayers.This incidence happened for 12 days in a row until he pleaded to bhagwan to appear in front of him.


On the 12th day, Hanuman ji appeared in front of Sri Vyasaraja and blessed him. Hanuman asked Sri Vyasaraja to constrain him in a hexagonal amulet & install him in that place.

Here is a special thread introducing our series on “The Making of the Islamic World.” It offers 10 episodes about the transformation of Islamicate societies between the 7th and 17th centuries. You can find the series page here: https://t.co/7mL9eWmMmz


This is Chris Gratien posting. I created this series during Fall 2020 for my students as asynchronous material supported by readings and discussion. This is going to be a long thread, but it will be a great shortcut for those looking to make similar use of these materials.

There are two items worth pointing out: 1. This is an overview of the political, social, and cultural history of Islamicate societies. It does not deal with the origins of Islam or many theological questions. It does discuss Islam’s spread and the transformation of Islamic law.

2. This is the first part of a two-part sequence that takes the history of the Islamic world into the present. It emphasizes developments and themes that have particular relevance for later periods.

This is really a multivocal narrative of Islamic history. We feature over 20 scholars from almost as many institutions. Many of those who worked on it, myself included, study the early modern and modern era but have teaching obligations that take us further back in history.
