7 effective trading journal tools that you can use to make better decisions (instead of just maintaining a trading journal):🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

Lets start with the harsh truth.

80% of traders just maintain a trading journal and never evaluate.

Recording your trades on day-to-day basis is just maintaining a trade book which your broker can furnish anytime.

Hence this exercise of recording trades is simply futile.

Things to record in the Trading Journal:

1.Long/ Short
2. Symbol
3. Qty
4. Buy Date
5. Buy price
6. Sell Date
7. Sell price
8. Profit/Loss
9. SL
10. % of cap risked
11.RoI %
12.RoCE %
13.Days held
14.R/R
15.Set up used

Once all the records are in place you need to build an analytics tool.

Trade records on its own is just the raw data which needs to be processed to derive info out of it.

Record your 50 or 100 trades.

Thereafter, analyse the following:

1. No. of wins
2. No. of Losses
3. % of winning trades ( No. of wins/Total trades)
4. Avg gain %
5. Avg loss %
6. Gain to Loss ratio ( 4./5.)
7. Reward to Risk ratio
8. Open Risk

90% of the traders lose money in the market despite following the best systems.

They either fix the entries, exits or replace the whole system with a new one.

The only thing you need to fix is the MINDSET!

The secret to getting from where you are to where you want to be:

1. Define clear goals.

2. Action plan to achieve the goal.

3. Act on the action plan.

4. Eliminate self doubt due to failure.

5. You 'll get the same output if you use the same input.

Motivation is what gets you started, commitment is what gets you going.

6. WHY: is the driving force towards your goal.

• Commitment is the determination of a person to achieve the said goals, no matter the obstacles.

You don't trade the markets, you trade your beliefs about the markets!

7. Limiting beliefs are false beliefs that prevent us from pursuing our goals and desires.

To understand more about belief systems read the book Super Trader https://t.co/AQNE7uhu2K

Discipline to follow rules is a mark of a top trader:

8. Check whether you have followed your set of rules.

9. Analyse the reasons for your profits/losses.

Mr. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala (RJ) is the richest trader & investor in India.

He's earned $6,000M or ₹45,600CRS from his best bets.

THREAD: Jhunjhunwala's 6 best trades.

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1. TATA TEA

In 1986, he bought 5,000 shares at Rs 43, which rose to Rs. 143 in a span of 3 months.

Made a neat Rs. 5lacs.

2. SESA GOA (now VEDANTA)

Initially bought at Rs 28, thereafter pyramiding at Rs 35.

The stock rallied to Rs 65 in a span of 4months.

By now he had made Rs. 25lacs.

3. TATA POWER

Using the Rs. 25lacs,he bought TATA POWER at Rs. 150 and it rallied to Rs. 1000 thereby making a neat Rs. 2.5-3crs.

4. 1989's budget was a game changer for RJ.

Prior to the budget the stocks had been hammered.

RJ's hunch was the upcoming budget wont be a disappointment & hence he staked Rs. 3crs. & made Rs. 20 crs. by the end of the budget.

• In a nutshell: Options are instruments used to express your view on the market

• The view could be same but the instruments played by the buyers and sellers could be different

• For Option buyers:

• Its imp to set a price target

• and to set a time target as well

• Time is an important factor to be considered

• Movement should outweigh the time decay

#BANKNIFTY

Bears were roasted in the past weeks short squeeze!

In a weeks time BNF is up by 2k points and gave a comfortable closing >35k

Bulls are back in the game!

Outlook for the week Jul 11 -Jul 15, 2022.

THREAD: Deconstructing BANKNIFTY on 4 different TF's.

#BANKNIFTY

1. Monthly TF:

• LH-LL structure & moving within the falling channel.

• No follow through selling post the June month.

• The sharp up move in BNF depicts resilience.

• Bulls are pretty much active near 32200-32800 zone & are strongly defending this level.

#BANKNIFTY

2. Weekly TF:

• Despite a LL-LH structure BNF failed to make a fresh Lower low post LL1.

• The zig zag moves in the index as it is trapped inside the channel is responsible for volatility and SL hits.

• Weekly close >35k is a sign of strength.

#BANKNIFTY

3. Daily TF:

•Witnessed gap up opening in the past 3 days and BNF has successfully managed to stay at higher levels, specifically > 35k level.

• 35300:immediate resistance.

• 36k:strong resistance.

• Already rallied 2182 points from July 1, 2022.

#BANKNIFTY

5. Hourly TF:

• Sharp one way rally means some sideways action is required for the next leg of upmove.

• S/R mentioned on the charts.

• A cash stock wizard, who doesn't trade the stereotype triangle, rectangle, H&S etc.

• Creative enough to look beyond the obvious

• Covering another unique set up: Rating Houses Contra Trades or as he calls it "Moody-no-so-Moody indicator"

🧵 to learn from @iManasArora

• Usually international rating agencies come with a downgrade only after a massive correction in the stock

• Similarly these rating agencies come with an upgrade report post a sharp rise in the stock

• Don't take them on face value and DYOR!

• How Ultra Bullish articles from rating/broker houses is used to dump the stock to retail

• New traders provide liquidity for BIG players to offload their stocks

#HEG

• Example 1: BofAML sees 100% rise

• Read this thread to know in detail

Next 2-4 weeks are crucial for #HEG. If it does not hold up the current level plus minus 5%, there will be an 80% chance of a 20% drop which could extend to up to 50% drop.

An option buyer made Rs. 58 lacs from Rs. 2 lac capital in a span of just one month (March 2020 COVID crash).

He is none other than Mr. Subasish Pani.

THREAD: 11 things you must know to become an option buyer.

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

•Don't get carried away with the kind of return that Mr. Pani made in such a short period of time.

•This requires a high level of skill, and discipline in terms of which strike to choose, which time to trade, and which days to trade.

•It also comes with higher drawdown.

1/ Screen Time:

• Indian markets function from 9:15-15:30.

• Dividing this time zone into 3 sub parts:
- 9:15 to 10:30: trending market
- 10:30 to 13:30: for retracement
- 13:30 to 3:30: trending

2/ Focus on momentum:

• Option buyers make money when the momentum is quick.

• However if the market remain sideways for few days then the option starts to lose its value.

• This is because theta decay works against option buyers.

3/ Option buyers need momentum to make money:

• Hence focus on the 1st & 2nd time zone where the markets are trending.

• Avoid taking trades between 10:30am till 13:30.

• Special focus on Wednesday & Thursday as premiums are low and if you can catch momentum then good R/R.

Option Selling 101 course worth 50k for FREE 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1. Know where the market won't go:

Our minds are usually wired to be curious about where a stock or an index will move. ,

However, when it comes to option selling, we need to know where the market certainly won't go.

2: Theta/ Time Decay:

Option is a wasting asset, hence theta/time decay is a friend of option sellers.

Option sellers have a natural edge because the value of the option decreases as time goes by.

3. Benefit of premium eating of OTM options:

OTMs usually have a higher probability of going to zero, option sellers try to gobble up these strikes, and adjust their positions or exit with an SL if need be.

4. When to play non - directional:

When an index is trading within a range.

Let's say, BNF is trading within a range of 44000-42500 then one can look to sell CE options of 44k and above and PE strikes of 42500 and below.
