I receive quite a few requests on my trading style and my philosophy as a trader, though I have covered this in my tweets at different points of time, but I think let me summarise all of them in single thread.
Let’s begin

I am a directional option seller. Mostly trading in weekly bank nifty options. I do intraday trades as well but my psychology and trading style is better suited for positional trades. I am an investment banker in full time job which is very demanding (10-12 hrs)on a workday
I generally trade based on few methods/indicators as outlined below
Time frame - 30 min for trend, use 15 min for entry
Support, resistance- I like to mark daily support, resistance as well as weekly and monthly levels and observe price behaviour near these levels
Use RSI for momentum, ADX to see whether market is trending or trading, use Parabolic SAR, market profile and anchor Vwap for directional view.
My approach is simple, trade in line with bigger trend, if main trend ( daily or weekly) is bullish, I will use every dip to sell puts
I will not be selling calls against the main trend. I will sit out when market is falling. Example, when Bank nifty gap down on Wednesday, i was selling next week’s far away puts than selling calls as main trend was still bullish.
My main focus these days is on risk management as I plan to increase my capital almost 2-3 times from current level so I have started trading keeping that in mind. I also look at risk from option premium perspective like today’s premium was not worth taking overnight risk
When do I go long -
RSI - above 60 or reversed from 40 levels
ADX - rising
Market profile- value area rising
Price action- strong BO via bullish candle
Parabolic SAR- bullish
I will sell puts , strike will be below week’s low.
Quantity- add in 3 phases 1/3 each time
I prefer to add to winning trades by increasing quantity as well as shifting strike up.
I become very aggressive trader when I m in good profits and very conservative when in loss, most of amateurs, do reverse .
I also do lot of mental preparation before market opens
My favourite mental preparation is imagining worst outcome of my trade( gap of 5 %) and how will I deal with that situation. Luckily, I have not been in 5 percent gap against my position situation. However, I am always ready to deal with me if it happens any time
I do not follow much on market news, SGX nifty as it has always interfered with my trading methods than helped in any way. One tip if you have 5 lakh as capital, imagine how will u trade if this was 5 crore instead of 5 lakh. Use same risk model for 5 lakh as u use for 5 cr
This will ensure u never blow ur account and u r thinking about risk first. Also , please note I earn very little from market. Only 12-15 percent a quarter,unlike twitter folks who makes this in one day. Please be associated with me if u can live with this small return
I m here to shorten learning curve of as many as possible. That’s my only objective of sharing tweets. Due to nature of my job, I cannot share much through free webinar, you tube videos etc. so will only be restricted to twitter. Do reach out if u need help in ur journey. Cheers

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
