Lessons on how to trade in such difficult times from the Indian Options Conclave 3.0 by Jainam Broking Ltd

Time for a🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

 How to trade in options during high volatility i.e. India vix>22-23 ?

In the current scenario, option sellers who are deploying strangles are unable to make money
E.g.: If a trader is selling a strangle of Rs. 100 each leg then during a fast momentum on either side, one leg becomes 80 & the other one Rs. 200
So overall, the strangle seller is at a loss

Strangles & Straddles are easy to manage in low vix

During high vix, find reversals
Mitesh Sir follows 3min TF in Bank nifty futures chart

Specimen:
In a down trending market people are tempted to sell CE & avoid selling PE's, however it would be disastrous to hold those CE's till expiry

Trailing is the answer during high VIX, as the momentum is faster on both sides

Check past few days charts on 3min TF for more clarity
How to find reversals?

Whenever market breaks a support, check the volumes in the downfall

If you intend to catch a trend, then volume is the best indicator for trading, rest all indicators like RSI, MA's etc. are lagging indicators as they indicate post the movement in price
Hence, volume can be used as a leading indicator

Whenever volumes are declining when prices are making fresh lows, it indicates that the participants are not interested in fresh/further selling for the current period (in intra)
For reversal you just need to take the decision basis one candle which has the highest volume

However all the pre-conditions needs to be met, Lets recap all the conditions to capture reversal from the bottom:
1⃣ The ongoing trend was downwards i.e. making fresh lows in intra for the day

2⃣ However, the volumes were shrinking whenever prices were making a fresh low, indicating no more interest by the sellers to push the prices to fresh low

3⃣ LL2 was not breached for the day
4⃣ Now wait for reversal

5⃣The moment you get a significant volume, on the upside, play for reversal

6⃣In this case, all you need to do is, if you sold CE’s just exit them
Mitesh Sir’s trades on March 4, 2022:

Post gap down, he had sold 35800 which was a PDH and also acted as a high for the past two days, the moment he spotted a reversal from the bottom, he exited from CE’s at 12.35 hours
Reason: In current scenario, trading is based on news, so if in case there is a cease-fire, market might reverse entirely, so always have to have a SL
How to spot a reversal from the top?

Basis the below chart, he sold 35800 CE at 14.45 again
Worst case scenario:

Post selling a CE for the 2nd time, lets assume if the prices again start to move up, then you will have a surety of atleast 80% that market is taking support of that level so in this case, the 2nd time after selling a CE, you can sell a PE to adjust it
In the first reversal, we wont sell PE’s as we are not sure when it will reverse from the upside, especially when the overall market is in downtrend, however in the 2nd attempt one can take that risk after observing multiple supports
Another set-up: Rejection Candle:

🖊️Ongoing trend: upwards

🖊️After a small consolidation there is a BO

🖊️The very next candle rejected the entire upmove

🖊️Action: CE sell
One can utilize the same set-up for PE sell as well

🖍️Ongoing trend: downwards

🖍️After a small consolidation there is a BD

🖍️The very next candle rejected the entire down move

🖍️Action: PE sell

The key in finding rejections is to spot large sized candles
For intra-day all you need to focus is on huge candles

Spot the big candles, you need to act basis the break of the High or Low of that huge candle

Example 1: Here SL got hit
Example 2: Trade worked here
Rejection Set-up: You might get stopped out once twice or thrice , lets say each time it takes 10 points, but then whenever it turns in your favour, you'll be able to fetch 70-80 points

However for this you need to sell high premium options only then it will work
How to play Breakouts (BO)?
How to spot fake moves?
Another set up to sell CE’s with a small SL and a better R/R set up:
Strangles are not favorable on Friday, Monday & Tuesday in current environment i.e. high VIX

Better to play with reversal set ups on these days, with small SL

Overall profit/loss ratio would triumph the lower win ratio
Mitesh Sir trades only in weeklies & avoids monthly options, as it is difficult to predict the trend beyond 3 days

Trade set up: He uses one indicator i.e. VWAP, if prices trade > VWAP indicates buyers are strong & vice-versa

Thereafter, he relies only on big volume candles
How to initiate option selling during normal market conditions?

In times of normal market conditions when there are no gap ups & gap downs, then you just need to spot weekly S/R
During normal market conditions, spot the weekly Support & resistance

Scenario 1: if the prices are between both, one has to simply sell 1% above & below the resistance & support respectively to make consistent returns via options selling
Scenario 2: If price is hovering near support, only Sell CE’s

Scenario 3: If price is hovering near resistance, only Sell PE’s

Greedy traders think that they can eat prem on both sides while keeping their margin low as strangle attracts lower margin than directional
However during Scenario 2& 3 such greedy positions traders would be badly screwed

Lets take the example of current weekly S/R i.e 34k & 36800, assuming VIX is normal & there are no news. In that case, as a positional trader one is supposed to sell only CE’s
Lets understand the worst case scenario: if the market takes support of 34k and bounces back and starts to trade above 1.5% above the lows i.e. 34500-34550, then one can have an outlook to sell PE’s as well as some kind of immediate bottom for the week has been made
So the idea is to then convert your directional only CE sell to strangle by selling a PE after it taking some support

However remember you don’t have to exit the CE’s unless the resistance of 36800 is taken out
Traders fear that the CE that they have sold at Rs. 50 has doubled i.e. 80-100-120 and they exit

However these are intermediary spikes, the moment prices hit the resistance and stays there, time decay will come into play
If the index really is trying to break the resistance, we can get the indication of the same by looking at volumes

If the market is trying to move up from lows, then buyers would wipe out all the sellers, in such case they need to absorb all the selling i.e. volumes will⬆️
So, if the volumes are going up along with the prices for 30min to 60mins then it is a clear indication that buyers are dominating

In such scenario, exit CE’s and short only PE's

However if the price upmove is not backed by the surge in volume then stay in CE sell position
If the buyers really want to take the market up, they will buy as much as possible thereby witnessing a surge in volume & that too back to back candles will have huge volume

Big money/operators 👣 can be tracked from volumes
So in case the CE option of Rs. 50 that you have sold has doubled, however there is no surge in volumes then you can stay in that CE and try to adjust it by selling a PE

The last adjustment is to convert the strangle into straddle.
Lets say the combined prem of that straddle is Rs. 600 then one can keep a SL of 600 on each side, now if the market still keeps trending on the upside the SL on the CE leg will get hit however the PE leg would give you some gains
And if one still has balance capital & if the trend is clear one can sell more PE's

Another scenario, even if one end up making a loss in the current week, the upcoming week one can sell a PE of higher prem as a strong base and support is made in the previous week
In option selling, one has to spot strikes which has high probability of going to 0

In case the market moves up strongly after taking a support of 34k (in normal market conditions) Mitesh Sir would sell 34k PE’s

If the prices keep going up then he’ll keep moving up his PE's
Eg: Spot = 34550 backed by higher b2b volumes, he will sell 34k PE, now if the index further moves to 34800-35k he would roll up his PE’s to 34200

He would maintain a distance of 1.5% at all times as that will give him the time/cushion for adjustments in case of any reversal
Mitesh Sir has made huge fortune in option selling since 2017 using the above method
Example:

Feb 25th buyers rejected the heavy selling made on Feb 24th

On the third day (Feb 28th), if the buyers were really strong they would have further taken up BNF, however notice that on the third day BNF fails to cross event he 2nd day high that itself is a confirmation
Further confirmation was on the following day i.e. Mar 1 post the gap down opening itself one can sell CE of swing high i.e. 36800CE

However for a safe trader, he can still wait for a confirmation i.e. when BNF reaches the low made on Feb 24, at that time he can sell the CE
Always make decisions based on huge candles the way we saw in intra day same applies in higher TF as well

Example 1: On huge candles and trade logic
Example 2: On huge candles and trade logic
Example 3: On huge candles and trade logic
Example 4: On huge candles, when BNF hit fresh ATH and trade logic
Example 5: On huge candles (strangle) and trade logic

One can practice these 5 examples in single lot to gain confidence
Mitesh Sir doesn’t believe in Credit/Debit spreads

E.g.: Sell OTM strike X at Rs. 90
Buy far OTM strike X+500 points at Rs. 45

If the index goes down then:
Strike X = Rs. 70
Strike X + 500 = Rs. 35

Net reward: Rs. 10 only

Despite capturing the move, making only Rs. 10 ☹
Lets say close to the expiry
Strike X = Rs. 10
Strike X+500 = Rs. 2
Now if you still holding this and in case there is a reversal
Strike X = 90
Strike X +500 = 0

Mitesh Sir, sells only those strikes which has 90% probability of going to 0
If you are using leverage by buying far OTMs to sell more qty

Leverage is a double edged sword, it will have a multiplier effect when you make money & similarly when you lose

So each individual needs to check the risk capacity and accordingly stick to their position sizing
The current SEBI norms of margins will ensure you won't lose more than 5% of your capital (if you are trading using only your capital w/o leverage)

One can make consistent 3% monthly return and if compounded works out to 38-40% p.a. which very few other business can generate
Traders are unsatisfied due to absolute returns instead of focusing on RoC

If your capital is low ~Rs. 10lacs & you are making 3-4lacs p.a. instead of being☹️by the absolute amt, be disciplined to make it consistently as compounding magic will play out in the longer term
@Mitesh_Engr Sir himself targets only 1% a week via option selling

anything>1% is bonus

SL is always based on the levels and not on points or %

Needless to say @Mitesh_Engr Sir has shared everything in detail & it is nothing less than a workshop in itself

Short Straddle is the highest payoff strategy.

However it comes with undefined risk.

Most traders don't know when & how to adjust the short straddle when it goes wrong.

Here are 16 adjustments to lower risk & increase profitability:🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ Longer-term short straddle:

• Helps in getting a big range: trade in biweekly, monthly, or far months.

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

• Also go for round levels both in NF and BNF as they have better liquidity.

2/ Weekly expiries will have short range:

• Leading to higher risk.

• Would require frequent adjustments.

3/ When to sit tight?

• As long as the underlying is between the breakeven point of the Short straddle, we do nothing.

• Don't adjust till breakeven comes, simply sit tight.

• Adjusting a short straddle typically brings in more credit, which increases the profit potential.

4/ When does a short straddle come into loss:

• The moment the underlying price moves towards one end of the breakeven point, your short straddle will be in loss.

• Adjustments would require additional funds, so don't go all in with your capital for shorting straddles.

Sep 1, 2021, fresh month starts with a challenge i.e. introduction of Peak Margin rules by SEBI

Time for a 🧵

Lets demystify the Peak Margin rules and try to find solutions for the option sellers!

Peak Margin by SEBI:
• 100% upfront margin for intraday trades in the derivative segment
• Effectively MIS orders = NRML orders, as both will attract same margin in the derivative segment
• Minimum margin for equity intraday trades will be 20% of trade value i.e. 5X leverage

How things used to operate erstwhile?
• Until last year there were no standardization of leverage
• Brokerage firms used to offer their clients intraday leverage of 5x, 10, 15x, 20x etc. as margin reporting was done on EoD basis

• Brokerage firms were allowing customers to take intraday positions with margins far lesser than required via products like MIS, BO, CO, etc. as the positions used to get squared off before the trading hours

• Eg: If 1 lot of Nifty futures require (SPAN + exposure of) Rs. 1.1L, brokerage houses would allow to trade with just 20-30% of this amount i.e Rs. 33k

Do you want to know how to create a Trading Plan using only Price Action?

Here's a breakdown of 11 simple yet powerful steps to create one: 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ Know your type:

First and foremost, understand whether you are a Scalper or Intraday trader or Swing trader or Positional Trader.

Create an account in @tradingview

2/ Set the Time Frame (TF) of the Charts:

• Scalper: the TF you would use would be in the range of 1- 5min
• Intraday Trader: 5-15min TF
• Swing Trader: Hourly to Daily
• Positional Trader: Weekly


3/ Be aware of the trend at higher TF.

No matter which type of trader you are, its important to know the trend at higher TF.

Crucial to know whether its a buy on dip market or sell on rise market.

In my outlook for the week for #BANKNIFTY & #NIFTY I cover multi TF analysis.

4/ Identify the major Demand & Supply Zone:

• A supply zone is the price area where traders have the highest selling interest or potential.

• A demand zone is the price area where the traders have the highest buying interest or potential.

90% of the traders lose money in the market despite following the best systems.

They either fix the entries, exits or replace the whole system with a new one.

The only thing you need to fix is the MINDSET!

🧵 with Subashish videos.

The secret to getting from where you are to where you want to be:

1. Define clear goals.

2. Action plan to achieve the goal.

3. Act on the action plan.

4. Eliminate self doubt due to failure.

5. You 'll get the same output if you use the same input.


Motivation is what gets you started, commitment is what gets you going.

6. WHY: is the driving force towards your goal.

• Commitment is the determination of a person to achieve the said goals, no matter the obstacles.


You don't trade the markets, you trade your beliefs about the markets!

7. Limiting beliefs are false beliefs that prevent us from pursuing our goals and desires.

To understand more about belief systems read the book Super Trader https://t.co/AQNE7uhu2K


Discipline to follow rules is a mark of a top trader:

8. Check whether you have followed your set of rules.

9. Analyse the reasons for your profits/losses.

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

There are many strategies in market 📉and it's possible to get monthly 4% return consistently if you master 💪in one strategy .
One of those strategies which I like is Iron Fly✈️

Few important points on Iron fly stategy

This is fixed loss🔴 defined stategy ,so you are aware of your losses . You know your risk ⚠️and breakeven points to exit the positions.
Risk is defined , so at psychological🧠 level you are at peace🙋‍♀️

How to implement
1. Should be done on Tuesday or Wednesday for next week expiry after 1-2 pm
2. Take view of the market ,looking at daily chart
3. Then do weekly iron fly.
4. No need to hold this till expiry day .

5.Exit it one day before expiry or when you see more than 2% within the week.
5. High vix is preferred for iron fly
6. Can be executed with less capital of 3-5 lakhs .
https://t.co/MYDgWkjYo8 have R:2R so over all it should be good.

8. If you are able to get 6% return monthly ,it means close to 100% return on your capital per annum.

🧵*Weekly Bank Nifty Analysis for 7th Oct Expiry* 🧵

To form a view, let's have a look at both:
1. Technicals
2. Data

Also, 3 strategies to deploy for:
1. Aggressive Traders
2. Moderate Risk Traders
3. Low-Risk Traders


1. Technicals

Let's start with technicals. We'll look at -
1. Daily charts.
2. Hourly / 60 min charts.
3. 15 min charts.

Formed an indecisive candle on the daily timeframe right at support. Unless we sustain below 36900 for 15 mins, the probability of a bounce is high.


2. 15 min charts.

Above Friday's High on 15 min charts, if we sustain that level for 15 mins can sell strangles.

If we gap down on Monday, only selling calls would be a good idea as the probability of the market going below 36900 would increase.


3. Hourly / 60 min charts.

On hourly charts, wait for a 1 hour close above 37900 levels to again look for Future buy opportunities.

The structure of Lower high and lower low will change to a higher high here.


Option chain data.

Shows a stiff resistance at 38000 levels. There was an addition in put writing at 37000 levels, expecting them to run for cover if 36900 breaks.

Positions haven't been built a lot so best is to wait for a day or two.

Kumbalgarh Fort is one of most spectacular sites of India,atop a hill abt 3600ft above sea lvl in the https://t.co/LkjmzzBhE2's second largest wall is surrounding it.A fort wall second only to Great wall of China,still not so famous.


This longest wall of India stretches to almost 36Km and encompasses a few hills, many step wells and over 360 temples and palaces. Birth place of the Great Maharana Pratap, this fort is named after another Great Maharana of Mewar, who is not given his due in the History.


Builder of many architectural marvels like the Kumbhalgarh Fort, an erudite scholar, a patron of arts, music, culture & a great warrior was the Great Maharana Kumbha. Yet we don't know much about him. Let's get to know him a little.


Maharana Kumbha was the undefeated King of Mewar from 1433-1468CE.He never lost any battles &kept Mewar out of the reach of Islamic Invaders till the time he was alive. Born on Makar Sakranti to Maharana Mokal & Saubhagya Devi, Rana Kumbha was only 13 when he ascended the throne.


His father was killed by his own relatives in a political conspiracy. He was a powerful King about 8ft tall &charismatic personality,a hardcore Hindu Rajput who could shed his life for Hindu honour without thinking twice.He was an ardent skillful warrior who never lost a battle.

How to trade on Expiry day with Nifty straddle?
(System trading on Expiry)

Triple straddle is one of the best and accurate methods for expiry day

If nifty trading at 15720 then will sell three straddles above 50 points from ATM, below 50 points and ATM.

Ex.
Sell straddle 15700(ATM), 15650(ATM-50), 15750 (ATM+50)

Stoploss of 80% on every leg and run your trade till 3 PM

Once SL hit in any Leg just keep holding other leg till expiry with SL (Never or less chance to hit both SL on expiry day)

Trading timing at 9:20 the Morning
