strategies, tried explaining in simple language🧵🧵👇

Like / Retweet for max reach😊

If we want to trade in F&O, we have to create a view

If our view is bearish, then following strategies can be deployed.
1⃣ Buy Put

👉If our view is to bearish, we can simply buy ATM put and ride the downward momentum.

👉Risk would be limited to the premium we have paid
Reward would be unlimited, as long as it goes below (strike price- premium paid).
Example :

You bought 17200 put option at 135.9

Max loss is nifty lot size = 50 * premium paid

50*135.9 = 6795

In order to be in profit on expiry it should close below 17200 - 135.9 = 17064

Called as breakeven shown in chart👇
✅Bear Spreads

👉Spread strategies are used when our view is neutral to bearish

👉These strategy's are limited risk and limited reward strategies.
2⃣Bear Put Spread (Debit Spread)

👉We use only put to trade our bearish view

👉In this spread we buy a put option at ATM strike and sell a put option below that strike

👉Risk is limited to the premium which got debited
👉Reward would be limited when it goes below the sold strike.

Example : We bought 17200 put at 135.9

Now, we sell below strike 17050 at 75.85

In order to be in profit Nifty at expiry should be below 135.9 - 75.85 = 60.05

So, 17200 - 60.05 = Rounding off to 61 so 17139 👇
3⃣Bear Call Spread (Credit Spread)

👉We use only call option to trade our bearish view

👉In this spread we sell a call option at ATM strike of and buy a call option above that strike

👉Risk is limited and when it goes above sold call option strike price.
👉Reward is also limited as long as it trades below sold strike price.

Example : Sold 17200 at 109.6

And bought 17350 at 51.3

So, in order to be in profit it has to trade above
109.6 - 51.3 = 58.3

Now, breakeven is at 17200 + 58.3 = 17258 as shown in below chart👇
Here, you can compare the chart of 3 views which we shared above 👇

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

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.
