The most valuable hedging strategy you aren't using:

The IRON FLY STRATEGY.

Knowing how to use it will protect you from gaps and intraday spikes and 10x your hedging experience.

Here's the step-by-step guide:

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

Here's what you'll learn in this thread:

1. What is an iron fly
2. Perks and Drawbacks
3. What to do when in profit?
4. How to adjust when in loss?
5. Thread on How to keep shifting an iron fly for max credit?
6. Risk-free trades benefits

Let's dive in ↓

1/ What is an iron fly?

Sell ATM CE and PE (Short straddle)
Buy OTM CE and PE (Hedge it by buying on both sides)

Look at the picture below for an example of an iron fly in current weekly options.

2/ Why do traders like iron fly?

Many traders want to receive maximum theta or max credit.

This is why they sell straddles.

But straddles have unlimited risk in them, and can't handle gaps or intraday spikes.

This is why traders like knowing the maximum loss in their trades.

3/ Perks of Iron Fly

Low capital required—Possible to buy first, sell later

Limit losses—Know your maximum loss upfront

Adjustments—Can reduce losses to zero or almost nothing

Weekly earnings—Possible on a weekly basis

Jackpot—Potential for a jackpot if it expires in middle

PER ORDER Vs PER LOT brokerage

Which one is better?

Read the thread to know why one is clearly better than the other.

A THREAD ...

Too many people are getting scammed into per lot broking. There are offers anywhere between 6 rs per lot to 25 rs per lot. It's financial suicide to opt for this kind of broker compared to the per order ones.

Let's have a look at why PER ORDER is OBVIOUSLY the better choice.

1. How many lots do you sell at a time?

The majority of the people must be at least selling 2-3 lots in one go. (Assumption)

Per lot brokerage (10 rs per lot) you'll be charged 30 rs buy-side and 30 rs sell-side (as we sold 3 lots), overall 60 rs plus other charges.

Under per order, you'll only be charged 20 +20 = 40 rs overall. (This can be further reduced to 20 rs, check the 5th point to know how)

2. What's your capital?

If your capital is 10 lakh and above it mathematically makes no sense to opt for per lot unless you are selling 1 lot at a time or punching many orders a day.

(Constantly adjusting)

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.

More than a million traders learn from Youtube videos.

But most of them don’t know how to use Youtube effectively.

Here are 8 ways to double Youtube productivity today:🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1. Avoid ads

Constant ads are the biggest irritation when it comes to Youtube.

Just download Adblock Plus to avoid ads on your computer/desktop.

Save up on time.

Here is the link to download it.

2. Block Ads on Youtube Mobile - (Youtube Vanced)

Most people aren't aware that they can block ads on youtube mobile too. Don't need to purchase Youtube premium.

How? well, just download Youtube Vanced.

Here is the link to download Vanced

3. Make another account

Make a new account and follow channels related to trading and keep that youtube account only for trading videos.

This way you don't miss out on any trading videos and have them clubbed together.

My main Youtube account I keep for other entertainment.

4. Subscribe to your favorite channels

Go to your subscriptions tab.

Here you'll see the videos released that day of the accounts you follow.

Add to queue all the videos you want to watch which have been released that day. Consume those together.

The best traders have a trading plan.

But 98.8% of the new traders, don't know how to make one.

I analyzed @niki_poojary's account, to learn how we can create a plan on our own.

Here's the simple 8-step process:🧵

Step 1: Multi-time frame analysis

This is done to:
- Find the structure (HH-HL means bullish, LH-LL means bearish)
- Align trades with the trend on the longer timeframe
- Find important Support/Resistance levels
- Trendlines

She does this to find the direction and levels.

Step 2: Identify Patterns

There are two kinds of patterns:
1. Patterns on the chart. (Eg, symmetrical)
2. Candlestick patterns. (Eg, Bearish Engulfing)

She keeps a track of all these patterns and updates them on @niki_poojary daily.

Trades all these patterns without fail.

Step 3: Option Chain analysis

In isolation, OI data won't work. It depends on the way you analyze it.

If you have a bullish view look for high Change in OI added on the put side. Vice versa for a bearish view.

This is just a confirming tool for the view that you've taken.

Simply knowing the direction doesn't mean that you'll make money.

After these, we need to figure out which options we will sell by managing our risk.

This depends on:
1. Individual's Risk-taking capacity
2. Conviction
3. Desired Return
4. A lot of practice

@Ronak_Unadkat Sir has more than 100 videos on his Youtube channel.

He mainly focuses on the same few concepts to take a trade.

I can teach you those in the next 5 minutes:🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1/— OI unwinding for Aggressive trades

Okay, so you must begin your search for these type of trades "ANYDAY AFTER 1 PM".

For eg:

If the market is going up and you spot some large unwinding on the call side.

Sell the immediate puts from where the market reversed to go up.

Where option sellers are trapped no need to check the support resistance as a big directional move is going to happen.

Just aggressively sell puts straight up, pocket the higher premiums and make high returns.

Explaining the logic in the next tweet.

Logic:

Simple, option sellers are tapped. In this case on the call side.

When a seller is trapped he will buy his option back.

Option buyer will not be in a hurry to square off as he is in profit.

This will result in a huge spike in calls.

A call option seller cutting his position means he is not confident that the market will go down or sideways.

We take a hint from him and sell puts to make a profit.
