If you use it right, Iron Fly is the most solid risk-defined strategy in trading.

But most people don't know how to adjust the strategy when it goes wrong.

Here are 7 adjustments you can do to lower risk and increase profitability: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

0/ Who is this for?

This will greatly benefit people who freeze when it comes to managing their trades and keep booking losses.

Some trade with too much fear as well when things go wrong.

Knowing these adjustments will give you the confidence to try to manage your trades.

Most of them are to lower risk on the side the market is going in.

Some adjustments even increase the profit potential and probabilities of the trade being in profit on expiry.

Let's begin by having a look at the adjustments.

Here is the adjustment number 1 below.

1/ Don't do anything till your breakeven arrives

One reason these strategies go wrong far too quickly is due to adjusting them too frequently.

You can escape most adjustments if you simply wait for the market to arrive at your breakeven.

This will work well in monthly options.

2/ Remove Risk from Untested Side

If you've taken an iron fly and the market has gone up you can shift your put buy upwards and lock the downside risk to potentially zero.

This way you've secured one side and just need to manage the bleeding side.

Important Concepts from Power of Stocks— Subhasish Pani

7+ years of trading experience in 14 tweets🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1/— Inside Candles

Inside Candle, breakout strategy has very good accuracy.

There are two candles in the inside candle, the mother candle, and the baby candle.

He trades the breakout of the high/low of the baby candle with the opposite level as a stop loss.

When to pyramid the trade if it goes right?

The next level to add more quantity is the mother candle's high or low, depending on a breakout or breakdown.

The stop loss will remain the baby candle low during a breakout and vice versa during a breakdown.

2/— Big Gap up

If the market is bullish, next day if it opens a big gap up then the buyers are already in profit.

Most traders don't want to see their MTM reduced in such times.

Wait for the first red candle and short the first 5 min red candle with a day high stop.

The R:R is too good in such setups.

There are multiple videos of him catching the day high with this setup.

Everyone's looking for selling puts and he makes money selling calls.

How to save tax when income is above 50 lakhs?

Here are 9 benefits of trading in a corporate account: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1. Make a Pvt Ltd Company.

Form a company with family members and trade under it. The family members should be directors of the company. Will explain why later.

Why form a company?
You will only need to pay 25% flat tax. Individuals have to pay 30% tax above 10 lakh profits.

2. Surcharge Benefits:

You will be charged a lower surcharge in a corporate account.

Check the picture below:


Total Tax Outlay:

The total tax outlay for individuals is 30% plus surcharge. If you really earn a lot (10 cr +) then you will be paying 42% tax.

Whereas in a company you'll be paying a maximum of 28% tax.

This is how rich people save a lot of their money by paying low taxes.

3. Expenses can be deducted.

All expenses can be deducted from a company account.

Companies:
1. First make a profit.
2. then deduct the expenses
3. & Pay tax on the remaining income

Individuals:
1. First Profit
2. Then Pay tax
3. Expenses with whatever is left.

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

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.

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)

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

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.

Directional Traders are good at spotting patterns.

But 98.8% of the new traders, don't know how to spot patterns.

I analyzed @niki_poojary 's account, to learn the most important patterns to master.

Here are the 8 of the most important patterns: 🧵

1/ Cup and handle Pattern

Happens during an uptrend.

The cup portion has a U-shaped appearance.

The bears are getting weaker as they are unable to drive the prices below the last low.

Subhasish Pani uses this a lot in stocks to spot bullish trades.


2/ Inverse Cup and Handle Pattern

Happens during a downtrend.

The cup portion has a reverse U-shaped appearance.

The bulls are getting weaker as they are unable to drive the prices above the last high.

Subhasish Pani uses this a lot in stocks to spot bearish trades.


3/ Double Bottom Pattern

It is a bullish pattern that has the shape of a "W".

The market tries twice to break the lows but is unsuccessful.

This is a reversal pattern to observe during a downtrend for a bullish trade.


4/ Double Top Pattern

It is a bearish pattern that has the shape of an "M".

The market tries twice to break the highs but is unsuccessful.

This is a reversal pattern to observe during an uptrend for a bearish trade.
