How to make 1% consistently via Option Selling?

• Analyzing the trend
• Selling OTM's
• Making adjustments
• Capturing trending move
• Without big drawdowns
• Right Position Sizing
• Risk Management

Here are the 11 aspects to focus on:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

 1. Analyze the trend:

To begin with, determine whether Bank Nifty is trending, consolidating, or stuck in a range.

Why?

Cause we can predict what it will do then.
2. How many points to capture?

The margin required for selling one lot is around Rs. 1.5 lakh for a strangle.

If we earn around Rs. 1500 on one lot, we would make 1% return on our capital.

1500/25 = 60 points

Either sell directional 60 and make it zero.

Or 30-30 both sides.
3. How do we begin in the weekly expiry?

Can tend to skip Friday's as there are two days holiday.

In those 2 days market has ample time to come out with news, react to SGX and so forth.

So from a R:R perspective it is not great to carry from Friday.
Even the decay isn't huge if you see unless there's a big gap and you are on the correct size of it.

The Weekly candle also is from Monday to Friday.

So at Friday EOD we know how the weekly candle looks as well.
4. What was the recent trend?

If the market was consolidating recently then we are going to wait for a proper breakout or breakdown.

If it is taking too much time we can sell far otms.

But with the intention of exiting the strangle when a breakout/breakout happens.
5. Post-significant movement:

Post a big movement in the weekly candle, we are looking for an inside candle in the current week.

Thereby we would look for selling strangles as they would be most rewarding.

Usually can target around 30-40 rs premiums.
6. Adjustments:

Adjustments can generate more returns than you had originally planned.

Basic rolling up and down can be done to extract higher premiums.

Can't adjust every move though, so should know when to exit.

Here is where levels come into play.
7. Capturing trending move:

There are levels after which Bank Nifty is going to make a big move.

In my Youtube channel as well as my twitter, I always share my bias.
I mark S1, S2, S3 and R1, R2 and R3.

Sometimes I don't mark one side at all.

That's when I am expecting a trending move.

You may refer to my weekly multi timeframe analysis threads and videos if you want to learn and observe more of the same.

8. Without big drawdowns:

Don't take more than a 3% hit.

I have seen traders usually lose their minds when they lose more than this. The cycle of bad trading originates after this.

So we have to ensure to not let it happen in the first place.

Psychology needs to be intact.
9. Right Position Sizing:

On Rs. 10 Lakh maximum you can sell is 6 lots.

Beginner should avoid any leverage unless they are profitable for 6 months consistently.

Don't enter all your qty at once.

Stagger the qty as and when you make profits.
10. Risk Management:

Do respect your SL.

Never change it based on Hope or your bias as you always go wrong as the market is supreme. Your SL should be the one which you had planned before taking an entry in the trade.
11. Pro Tip: Go and backtest:

Can go and backtest your trading and look for areas for improvement.

Forward testing is also essential to see if you can do it in the live markets and keep a check on your emotions when trend is not in favour but your SL is also not hit.

Subasish Pani revealed the most simple, yet successful strategy: 5EMA set up!

Here is a thread of 23 video clips on the 5EMA set-up that will save you hundreds of hours and available to you for no cost!

5EMA set-up: 🧵!

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/Don't hate on any style:

• Admire the fact that money can be made from intraday, scalping, positional, option buying, selling, futures, etc

• Try to understand which one fits you the most and apply that, then ignore the rest!


2/ System with a R/R of minimum 1:3:

• Here is a system that works for investing, scaping, positional, options buying and selling, futures etc.

• The R/R of this set up in intraday is 1:3 & for investing can go beyond.


3/ Why EMA over SMA? :

• Exponential moving average is used, as it places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.


4/ 5EMA moves very close to the prices:

• Mean reversion theory: Asset prices usually tend to go back to normal or average levels after an extreme price move.

• Prices routinely oscillate around the mean but tend to return to that same average price over and over.

The most valuable aspect in trading you aren't using:

POSITION SIZING

Sizing is the key, you'll make big money only if you own a significant size without compromising on risk.

Here are 10 of them, and they are for free: 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ For a faster growth, one needs to have a bigger size:

• What difference would it make if a stock moves by 300%?

• But then, what if you had only 1% capital allocation?

• Despite the stock performing spectacularly, your account won't reflect the same, due to small sizing.

2/ Three types of position sizing:

1. Fixed absolute Rupee amount that one is willing to risk.
2. % risk of the total capital.
3. Basis the edge.

Risk tolerance should be taken into consideration while determining appropriate position sizing.

3/ Fixed absolute Rupee Amount:

• Eg: Total capital is Rs. 10 lacs and the max risk per trade is Rs. 7500

• Lets say a stock is trading at 1200 and your SL is 1120 (i.e. your risk per unit us Rs. 1200-1120 =Rs. 80)

• Optimum qty: 7500/80 = 94 units

4/ Percentage risk of total capital:

• Lets say you want to risk 1% of the total capital on each trade.

• Considering the total capital of Rs. 10 lacs, you shall risk Rs. 10,000 i.e. 1% of 10lacs on each trade.

• Quantity to be traded/invested calculation remains the same.

How to save taxes on the trading profits for an individual

4 Legit ways to retain most of the trading income: 🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1. Divide your capital amongst your family members:

• Ensure they are not salaried employees as they might not be allowed to trade as per their employer's policy.

• Your family is your strength, not just emotionally, but financially too.

• E.g. your net taxable income works out to Rs. 50 lacs, as per the new tax regime, you are in the 30% tax bracket.

However, if you divide the capital amongst your family members in such a way that the net taxable income works out to Rs. 12.5 lacs per member (assuming 4).

This way the tax bracket gets shifted from 30% to 20%, clear saving of 10%

2. Expenses a trader can claim:

All the expenses directly related to the trading business can be claimed.

i) Rent Expense: If one has an office on rented premises, rent paid is a valid expense. However, you should have the rent receipts & rent agreement as valid proof.

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.

97% of retailers buy options and lose money.

But, you can buy options:

• At the right time
• For BTST
• When premiums are too low

The difference? Understanding how they work.

Here's how you can buy options if you're a beginner:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ Basic knowledge of Technicals:

Option buying is about capturing the momentum, hence sound knowledge of technical analysis is required.

Without any knowledge, if one is buying an option purely because he/she feels market will rise/fall is equivalent to buying lottery tickets.

2/ Technical Analysis knowledge:

The analysis could involve usage of pure price action or indicators or a mix of both to capture momentum.

Getting the direction right is very crucial, however along with the direction the timing is equally important.

3/ Basics of CE & PE:

Option holders can buy or sell a security at a predetermined price using contingent financial derivatives called options.

In return for such access, option purchasers charge a small amount referred to as a premium to such sellers.

4/ Why CE & PE options are purchased:

CE is an abbrevation for Call Option and PE for Put option.

The CE buyer benefits every time the price of the underlying goes up.

Polar opposite is the PE option, as a PE option buyer benefits every time the price of the underlying falls.

A thread about STBT options selling,

The purpose is simple to capture overnight theta decay,

Generally, ppl sell ATM straddle with hedge or sell naked options,

But I am using Today’s price action for selling options in STBT,

(1/n)

Its work on both index (Nifty, BNF) as well some standard stock but i used only for Index on every day and Last 10 days monthly expiry i do in stocks only specific,

It’s purely STBT type’s trade sell today and buy tomorrow kind,

(2/n)

Let’s start the strategy,

Every day at 3:15 PM, Open Nifty or BNF chart in daily TF.

See the last candle formation only; we take trade always based on the last candle formation

(3/n)


Case 1:
If Red Bearish candle formation, Mark the high and low of that candle

High 35979, Low 35667. (16th July)

Based on this candle we simply sell credit call spared (Sell 36000 CE and Buy 36300CE) you can make the difference between two calls 300 or 400 as per your risk,


Case 2:
Bullish strong candle

High 35238 and low 34922 (5th July) (Refer the image)

Based on this candle we sell credit put spread (Sell 34900 Put and buy 34600 put)

Simple and effective way 2 make Money


Idea 1:- Use pivot level like 14800 in case of nifty and sell 14800straddle monthly expiry (365+335) exit if nifty closes on daily basis below S1 or above R1

After closing below S1 if it closes above S1 next day or any day enter the same position again vice versa for R1

Idea2:- Use R1 and S1 corresponding strikes multiple
Incase of R1 15337 take 15300ce
N in case of S1 14221 use 14200pe
Sell both and hold till expiry or exit if nifty closes below S1 or above R1 around closing
If the same bounces above S1 and falls below R1 re-enfer same strikes

Use same criteria for nifty, usdinr and banknifty

(This is must)Use this margin rule for 1lot banknifty pair keep 4Lax margin
For nifty one lot keep 3Lax
For usdinr 100lots keep 4Lax

I bet you if you do this on consistent basis your ROI will be more than 70% on yearly basis.

Couldn't explain easier than this

On popular demand, here’s a thread on our key takeaways from F&O Pe Charcha with @Mitesh_Engr

Start with a low capital and master all 3 phases of the market – upward, downward and consolidation. If your winning trades are >60-70%, then increase your capital.

Treat trading as a business and target similar gains. An annual profit of 25% is reasonable and achievable.

Does a restaurant change recipes every day? No.

Similarly, stick to strategies if there is a 70% success rate. If it doesn’t work for 2 months, don’t worry, it might work for the rest of the 10 months

Option buyers need more skill than sellers as they need to catch the direction at the right time.

Ever wonder how traders get in stocks before they explode? 🧐

Or find options that move 1,000% in a single day/week?🤯

I made a thread going over exactly how I find these stocks BEFORE they take off 🚀
👇👇👇

So, let's start with the software I use…

Finviz!! Finviz is a free website that I use to scan for stocks.

They have a lot of other cool features as well, but I only use their scanner.
👇

Head on over to finviz and go to the screener

Click on the “All” tab on the top and put in the criteria in the next tweet
👇

This is the first scan that I use for bullish swing setups
✅Quarter +10%
✅Week Down
✅Vol over 400k
✅Optionable
✅Price > $20
👇


The next scan I use is the opposite of the first one.

Simply change:
✅Quarter +10% to -10%
✅Week Down to Week up

This is my bearish scan for swing setups. 👇

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed

Pyramiding 2.0

A thread-


What is pyramiding?

It is simply adding to your winners.

Why use pyramiding?

1. It makes your winners bigger than your losers.

• Because you are adding positions when your trades are going your way, you are increasing your gains but your losers will be small comparatively.

2. You lose less during Draw-down time ( it saves you from losing big during whipsaws )

• Many times when the market is in sideways mode, Entering a trade with full risk might not be the best idea.

• So, you test the waters with a small position first, it could be ⅓ or ¼ of your total risk.

• So if the Breakout fails or whipsaws come, then you will only lose a small part of your overall risk.

• Then when position starts to go in your favor you can add to it.

3. It helps you to concentrate on a few trades,

They say that don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but don’t put them in too many either.

• See, Everyone can see charts and find breakouts, pullbacks etc.
