How to manage straddles :

1) As bnf open was within yesterday range created a 29000 straddle at around 9:30 am

29000 PE sold at 528 and
29000 CE sold at 453

#trading #OptionsTrading

2) Instead of keeping SL on sold legs. I keep SL on otm options in the system

SL was on 28000 PE at 220 (day high)
SL was on 30000 CE at 165 (day high)

3) At 10:15 am, Bnf started to trend down and 28000 PE was bought at 220 and I immediately bought 30000 CE at 110

4) If you look at the straddle chart, there were lot of intraday spikes and your SL would have been hit if you had kept SL on atm sold legs

5) But after lot of intraday spikes the straddle from 980 closed at 880. A 100 point decay intraday.

But even if both your buy option got triggered you would have made around 15-20 points inspite of such violent moves on both sides.

Thread 🧵:
A Day in the Life of a Trader (A day in my Life)

1) I absolutely love my work❤️! In fact, I grew up dreaming to be a trader. So trading, to me, doesn’t feel like working (except when I lose😂).
It’s fascinating because it’s different every day.

2)7:30 AM : Alarm Rings

A typical week day for me begins at 7:30 AM.
I spend the next 30 minutes on my daily chores — get ready for office, grab a quick breakfast & have a hot cuppa coffee.

3) 8:00 AM : Leave for office

On my way to office, I check what happened at the Wallstreet overnight & how are Asian markets performing.
I then look for any macro news that may affect overnight positions

P.S: We are moving to a new bigger office & will share pics of that soon

4) 9 AM - Connect with Trade Room members

I connect with trade room members on zoom & share my plan for the day, stocks to keep in radar & how to play the index & which option strategies to execute

For more details about Online Trade Room you can check

5) 9:07 - Pre Opening session

I keenly observe the pre-opening to get a general sense of where the market is it likely to open. At 9:07 AM, the pre-opening prices are out. I make a note of stocks opening with a big gap up or gap down and keep them on my watchlist.

Options Thread

How options allows to change and adjust view dynamically.
Let’s understand with a live example.

Example : Nifty is at 11921 and you are bullish on Nifty.

1) Buy Naked 11900 CE(call) at 167

Breakeven : 12068
Max Loss : Rs 12555
Max Profit : Unlimited

2) Now your view changes from bullish to slightly bullish so you can convert naked call into a bull call spread by selling 12100 CE at 72

Breakeven : 11996
Max Loss : Rs 7100
Max Profit : Rs 7800

#OptionsTrading #trading

3) Now your changes from slightly bullish to slightly bearish. You can convert the bull call spread into a ratio spread by selling more 2 calls of 12100 CE

Breakeven : 12224
Max Loss : Unlimited above 12224
Max Profit : Rs 18550

#OptionsTrading

4) Now if your view changes to sideways then you can buy 2 lots of 12200 CE to convert the ratio spread in a butterfly spread.

Breakeven : 11936 to 12182
Max Loss : Rs 2600
Max Profit : Rs 12300

Trading Mistakes & Lessons Learnt 🧵

1) I always keep my mistakes & lessons learnt in front of my screen while trading.
Bcz we as traders tend to commit the same mistakes everytime.

So seeing your learnt lessons everyday ensures that you avoid them.

#trading #mistakes

2) In 2017, I analysed all my trades and saw that I have majorly lost in stock futures and profits came only via index trading.

I accepted that I am not great at stock trading & been trading index only majorly since then & have never missed a day trading BankNifty

3) I decided to adjust all of my past losses to 1 % of capital to see the effect of capping the downside.

I would have had a gain of more than 230 % if I had capped losses at 1% of cap.

Lesson: Keep losses per trade less than 1% of capital no matter what !

4) While trading index options, I lost sometimes due to IV rise,flash crash, and option freezes.

Lesson: Never take markets lightly & Always keep protective stops in the system (and not in your mind) to keep loss in control in case of blackswan.

5) Being an option seller, I have a tendency to manage my position by rolling up/converting to calendar etc.

So many times I have wasted 1 or 2 weeks just to close a loss making trade at cost😢

Lesson: I do manage now but exit as soon sold options become ITM or 2 x in value.

Thread : Trading Applications that I use on a daily basis🧵

1) After putting a detailed post on hardware & multi-monitor setup. Few asked for softwares I use for trading.

So I am listing softwares/apps which I find the most useful for trading & investing

2) Trading View or Kite app

I use trading view for intraday charts.

As I trade intraday, I use the 5 min time frame.

My chart is simple with 20 sma plotted on it along with CPR(central pivot range)

Price > 20 sma & CPR indicates bullish trend for intraday & vice-versa

3) Icharts

As I majorly trade option premiums(short volatility or theta decay strategies)

I keep a track of combined premium of strangle using @iChartsIndia

Combined premium should be trending down & below VWAP to create a strangle

4) QuantsApp

As I need to provide analysis on TV channel.

I need to analyse overall market breadth, futures data & option chain activitiy.

@quantsapp provides

Futures Data : Long Builtup/Short Builtup
Options Data : Max Call OI/ Put OI
Market Breadth : For overall sentiment

5) Spider

I used @SpiderSoftIn to scan momentum stocks for intraday.

Spider helps in identfiying :

stocks hitting 52 week high/ low
Stocks making day high/low
Stocks with large buying single orders

@Trendmyfriends

Though you may have lot of indicators on selecting stock for intraday.

Just add below for selection

1- stock is moving n sectors also moving. Buy stock which is leading sector

2- stock which you are buying intraday also breaking 2/50 days high give preference first.

3- whole market is down and if stock making life high must buy first

4- Try To have watch list of high beta stock which usually after signal have capacity to move 2% or more.

5- Stock which is outperforming index i.e when index fall it going up or when index up it move faster.

Early and Strong Summers in North India are a boon to stabiliser and transformer maker #Vguard. No AC comes without a voltage stabiliser. Therefore, strong traction seen in this counter. Chances are it will make a fresh high

Imagine for a moment the most obscurantist, jargon-filled, po-mo article the politically correct academy might produce. Pure SJW nonsense. Got it? Chances are you're imagining something like the infamous "Feminist Glaciology" article from a few years back.https://t.co/NRaWNREBvR pic.twitter.com/qtSFBYY80S
— Jeffrey Sachs (@JeffreyASachs) October 13, 2018

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?
