Topic: HOW TO TRADE IN RISING PREMIUMS SCENARIO
Option sellers specially Straddle sellers feel that rising premiums give them excellent opportunity to make easy money. So what they are seeing is the theta aspect of options & ignoring the delta/gamma/vega forces.

There will also be very few instances when premiums don't fall till expiry day. So with each delta move the cost of holding a straddle gets accumulated & pressure keeps mounting for the stubborn option sellers.
5/
Compulsive straddle sellers can keep a close SL & do quick scalping. But such profits don't give you much satisfaction, as speculation element is high in such trades.
6/
There are many option strategies like Ratios, Ladder, even far OTM naked/spread selling which can give good opportunity to take advantage.

9/
If one can find a way to forsee how volatility or direction is going to play out, then it's a different ball game altogether.
10/
Patience is the key & being ready to let go of some premium decay. Don't get caught up in FOMO.
11/
In this scenario, we could have sold inflated OTM calls, which were not falling.
12/
When market bounced back calls also fell at first. If market starts rising, we can start neutralizing our position.
13/
• If IVs are falling then sell otm puts
• If IVs are increasing then buy higher delta calls to make Call ratios
The above example is when we want to trade directional & take advantage of rising premiums.

FINDING EDGE IN OPTIONS
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) January 9, 2021
24/08/15: Nifty gap down 250 points & another 250 after that. Previous few months return gone, but since I'm quick to take my losses, was saved from ruin. Before that my only edge in option selling was adjustments & my forever edge of following PA. (1/n)

THREAD ON DELTA (The most important GREEK)
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) January 2, 2021
Many traders don't indulge in understanding GREEKS because they think they are very complicated.
There are 4 primary greeks:
Delta
Gamma
Theta
Vega
In my experience, understanding DELTA is enough to take benefit of greeks.(1/n)

My trading journey started at the age of 17. Coming from a family of professional traders it was easy to get a headstart & i quickly got accustomed to it. But at that time i didn't have a clue of what I'm getting into. I very well knew how money is made & lost in the markets(1/5)

For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.

This is my finished product: https://t.co/otcM1uuUDk
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
