In NSE, 99.6% of the trading is done in derivatives.

But most of those traders don't know how to lower costs and increase returns.

Here's a breakdown on Options Synthetics: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

To become a very good trader, we need a strong understanding of options and Futures with their payoff graphs.

Most people have no clarity regarding synthetics & are just too confused.

Let's begin understanding synthetics & how they can help us trade with a clear understanding!

Synthetics are formed by the mixture/combinations of any two of the following three.

1. Calls
2. Puts
3. Futures/Stocks

You don't even need to touch futures/stocks. Whatever kind of payoff graph you want, you can get via options only.

Fut buy + Put buy= Call buy
Ft buy + Call sell = Put sell
Ft sell + Call buy = Put Buy
Ft sell + Put sell = Call sell

Ft buy = Call Buy + Put Sell
Fut sell = Put Buy + Call Sell

Know this very well as this is a must to know.

There are four advantages to trade via synthetics.

Also, we'll look at 3 problems and 4 myths about strategies.

Let's begin, by looking at the advantages:

The best traders are all directional traders.

We should be investing our time into learning what the best traders are doing.

I have traded with @niki_poojary for the past year, who is an aggressive directional trader.

Here are my 10 learnings trading with her: 🧵

1. Learn directional trading

If you want to be the best, you have to be very good at gauging the direction of the market and then betting aggressively.

Practicing this style over a lot of years will give you an edge which will help you compound your account quicker.

2. Levels based trading

Premium-based sellers put an SL of double or triple in the system which has a very high probability of taking your SL.

Irrespective of premium price, just stick to the charts.

A simple understanding of S&R enables you to take trades on levels.

3. Patterns

Chart patterns are necessary to understand market trends and to predict further movements, which helps us in deploying our trades accordingly.

Eg: A symmetrical pattern means prices have squeezed a lot and an expansion is soon on the cards.

Cont. 👇🏻

Likewise, after a strong momentum, some consolidation can be expected.

Entry/Exit triggers can also be determined on the basis few patterns.

She focuses on:
1. Symmetrical Triangles
2. Rectangle breakouts
3. Flag breakouts
4. M or W breakouts
5. Range breakouts

Subhasish Pani earned +1,41,25,022 profit in Option Buying on Expiry day yesterday.

He captured the down move in both futures and options.

Here's a breakdown of how he earned this profit: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1/ Breakout Failure

Above 42700, all traders were expecting a breakout.

But do you know failed breakouts are more powerful than breakouts?

Sharp selling will happen if a failed breakdown occurs and he was fully prepared for it.

2/ Hints

He was giving hints from 1-2 months for Option Buyers regarding when they should buy options at a low IV.

The current market scenario was one where the premiums were too low.

According to him, one should plan for a buying trade during such scenarios and target big.

3/ Gap down sharp selling

Prefers 12 o clock momentum usually whenever there is a gap-down scenario.

Already the market above 42700 buyers weren't strong enough. So on Thursday in a gap-down scenario, he was expecting a big downfall.

4/ What trade he took?

He bought 36,000 qty of puts of 42500 strike at 92 and exited them at 391.

(43200 qty is an error by him, correct qty should be 36,000)

I listened to @Ronak_Unadkat Sir's recent interview with @iarjuntandon on Groww so you don't have to.

He went from 4Lakh to 4,00,00,000 Rs. (4 Crore)

Let's learn how he 100x his capital

Takeaways from the interview: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1/ How did he begin his journey?

Started stock market journey in 2012. Went into full-time in 2021.

Colleagues used to invest in mutual funds and that's how he started in the stock markets.

Started to make 8-10% return per year initially.

2/ Initial Profits

After that he attended a seminar due to his friend where he understood that there's a term called Futures and Options as well.

He had 4 lakh rupees, so he started with that amount.

3/ Lost 60% of his capital

In the next 5 days, his capital grew to 5 lakh rupees followed by another increase of 1 lakh profit in the next 5 days.

In the coming 10 days post his profits, his capital reduced to 2 lakh from 6 lakh.

4/ Instrument traded?

Which instrument was he trading during that initial period?

He was trading full quantities in futures and options buying during that time, without any hedging.

Most of the traders on Twitter are non-directional traders.

Only a few trade on one side according to direction.

Here are 9 benefits of directional trading you cannot miss:🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1/ Higher Returns

Playing as per the trend usually gets you more conviction in your trades.

Which then leads to higher returns as you trade with the increased confidence.

Rather than selling 30-30 on each side, for eg, can just sell 90-100 on one side and make more.

2/ Easy management

It is easier to manage directional trades according to stop loss or targets based on patterns.

Don't need additional factors to think of for eg, premiums, distance from the spot, greeks, etc.

3. Avoid adjustments constantly

Non-directional option sellers have to constantly do adjustments to their trades.

Many times their original view is right but then the adjustments go wrong.

To combat these adjustments, they make more adjustments that unnecessarily use margins.

4. Improves price action analysis

You cannot be a good directional trader without having a very good grip on price action analysis.

Constantly using the price to make trades rather than playing for theta leads you to better understand price action.

Most members of the trading community are not proficient Twitter users.

Here are 8 effective methods to use Twitter:🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1. Use lists

The most powerful technique to completely transform your Twitter experience is using Lists since:

1) it eliminates irrelevant tweets and
2) concentrates more on what you are actually looking for.

Let me demonstrate.

Segregate people you follow into different lists.

I have a list of "Regular Trade Updates," for instance.

In order for me to study them later, this concentrates on handles that share trades.

Some traders I have on this list include-
@niki_poojary
@RijhwaniSheetal
@YMehta_

2. Mute trolls

• Some handles genuinely spew hate over their timelines.

• Completely pointless in terms of improving you.

• Muting these handles and a few more that don't provide value is the wisest course of action.

• I block and mute people without mercy.

Can also mute "specific words".

To improve his Twitter experience, @Atulsingh_asan Sir muted these words, as you can see.

How to manage risk in Option Selling?

10 frameworks to improve your risk management in 1 month:

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

In this thread you'll how to manage risk with:

1. Directional markets
2. Range-bound markets
3. Mtm stop loss
4. Booking profits
5. Overnight hedging
6. Event Risk
7. Position Sizing
8. No leverage
9. Reducing positions when wrong
10. Calculating risk upfront

Let's go ↓

Directional markets:

There is no point in the market being directional and you adjusting a non-directional trade.

As a general rule, you should only adjust once or maximum twice and then give up on firefighting.

Then you should side with a directional move.

Mistake of a non-directional trader:

Non-directional traders face heavy losses in directional markets.

If you are able to limit your losses in such scenarios, your risk management will improve.

The "I can adjust any move" mindset has to vanish for this to improve.

Big Range:

Moves in a big range are usually violent, and this is where non-directional traders lose money despite the fact that they are correct in assuming that the market is range bound.

Level-based stops work best in such an environment with reduced quantities.

How do I save taxes above 50,00,000 income?

• Not hiding income
• Not spending too much time
• Not trading in multiple accounts simultaneously

It's the same process that the top traders & fund managers use to save taxes. It works.

The Ultimate Guide for Traders who want to understand how they can use:

1) Unsecured Loans
2) Claim Expenses
3) Pvt Company

To drastically lower their taxes.

Have spoken to a lot of CA's and have got this information from them.

Follow these steps to pay lower taxes: ↓

Step 1:

The first thing traders do is loan their money to their family members to trade in their accounts so that they can make a profit in the family members' name.

This way the tax is divided by different names.

So you don't have to pay taxes on one name only.

How do they do this?

They use "Unsecured Loans".

It is completely legal to give a loan to your family.

Once they get the loan in their account, they can use that money to start trading.

30% tax is charged above 15 lakhs income.

Until 15 lakhs, you can trade in their names.

Assuming a family of 4 (most common) until 60 lakh profit you can do this.

This would be much better than making 60 lakh income on one name only.

Not only are you charged a lower tax rate by doing this, but you also make use of the no-tax slabs.

Technical Analysis and 3 Strategies to deploy for Aggressive, Moderate, and Conservative Traders.

🧵Weekly Bank Nifty Analysis for 7th July Expiry:

You'll learn multi-timeframe technical analysis for the current week from this thread.

Also, there are 3 strategies one may deploy according to their risk appetite:

1. Aggressive Traders (1.6%)
2. Moderate Risk Traders (0.93%)
3. Low-Risk Traders (0.6%)

1. Technicals

Let's start with the technicals. We'll look at:

• Weekly charts
• Daily charts
• Hourly/60 min charts
• 15 min charts

1. Weekly-

• The past 2 weeks indicate buyers have entered and are trying to lift the market up.

• These buyers would be under stress if the last week's low of 33080 breaks on the downside.

• Till that low doesn't break, those buyers are going to be in control.

2. Daily:

• If we get a daily close above the 34150 level, a higher high (HH) will be formed, and I would be very bullish on the markets.

• Friday's candle is a big green candle, and if it's low breaks then I would be bearish.

• There is no clear and obvious pattern yet.

Here are the 6 steps for you to do great in trading:

Hope it's helpful to someone.

[🧵 thread]

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1/ Learn Price Action

First of all, you need to focus on learning about price action.

If you do so, you'll be able to understand the big player's footprints better which is critical to know as we can side with them to make profit.

Better to be with them than against them.

2/ Journal your trades

Journaling will change your trading forever.

Why? Because you will precisely know where you are going wrong and whether you keep repeating the same mistakes.

You'll also know in which market you perform the best and in which type of markets you don't.

3/ Avoid losing more than 2% on a trade

I have seen many traders including the really good ones as well, where one big loss will spoil a month or two of their trading year.

The loss becomes so big to overcome that more mistakes are made.

So don't go in a big loss itself.

4/ Think only from a buyer vs seller point of view

You should know who is in control, a buyer or a seller not in options but in futures.

Also understand, at which points do these traders usually tend to give up.

Can take trades confidently and aggressively then.
