Breakout > 630

#HDFCAMC

Symmetrical triangle breakout in weekly chart.. next resistance is 3240-50, once this level is taken out might trigger 3780 and 5000 levels.

While trading in stocks, how do you survive in a choppy market and make profits? Here's how I do it 🧵

Choppy markets are difficult to trade. When there's an uptrend like it was in mid-2020 and 2021, it's easy to find out stocks in different ways. (1/18)

And when it is in a clear downtrend, we can simply avoid trading in cash scrips and can take the benefit of selling in F&O.
We don't know for how long the market will be choppy - could be a few days, 2 months, 6 months or a year. (2/18)

You just can't sit with 100% cash for trading in stocks that long. A way to trade needs to be figured out.
After a clear uptrend, market changes the trend and sometimes goes sideways/consolidate for the time being. (3/18)

When it falls after an uptrend, there will be so many supports midway - sometimes it doesn't fall freely. The question is... how can we take trades at this time in cash scrips?
Method One:
When Nifty and small-cap/midcap Index comes at major support keep a watchlist ready. (4/18)

This watchlist is of stocks which are at major support too or at 20, 50 EMA (generally stocks bounces from here if the market supports). Try to find stocks from a strong sector/theme. The next day, if we get a bounce, trade Intraday in that stocks. (5/18)

How to find out the expected targets and what should be the exit criteria when you enter a trade - 🧵

Possible ways to find out the target:

Check if any patterns forming - it gets quite easy to figure out the targets that way. (1/15)

Let's say cup and handle. Our first target in this case will be the height of the handle and final target will be height of the whole cup. It's the same with H&S. First target will be the height of the shoulder and final will be the height of the head. (2/15)

In triangles, the targets will be height of the whole triangle.

Sometimes, after hitting the first target.. stock starts consolidating or take a retest of the breakout. On some occasions, stock gives one sided move non-stop.. without any pullback. (3/15)

A lot depends on the stock behaviour too. If a particular Index gave a breakout, then too stock gives final target without pullback.

Also, if stock gives weekly breakout and market is trending during that time.. even then it gives a one sided move. (4/15)

Recently, we've seen many such stocks -- Kotak Bank, TataMotors, TataPower.

Other helpful thing I learned from @Traderknight007 about exit criteria is using volume expansion and DMA/EMA. I began using it and benefitted. This is recently observed in TCS, DLF & many others. (5/15)

Short Strangle

Net credit with a sideways stance

A thread 🧵

#options #trading

1/ Short Strangles

As the name suggests, you need to sell options in this strategy

It involves 2 legs:

Short OTM CE

Short OTM PE

2/ Stance

You expect the market to trade within a narrow range. A narrow range means low volatility and hence lowering option premium due to theta decay

3/ Net Credit Strategy

Shorting options means that you will receive premium

Ex Nifty spot 16200

To create Short Strangle

Short 16300CE @92

Short 16100PE @132

Total premium received = 92 + 132 = 224

4/ Maximum Profit

The max profit is the premium received at entering the strategy, possible when the market expires within or at the selected strikes

In the Ex, expiry at or between 16100 or 16300, means options go worthless due to theta decay and you receive 224 points per lot

How to avoid blowing up your account trading OPTIONS
(A thread)

1. Becoming consistently profitable trading OPTIONS takes practice and discipline.

2. Trading Options is similar to trading stock, YOU are in control of your profits per movement (up or down) in the underlying.

3. Buying a CALL- You pay a Premium price based on the STRIKE price you choose. With a call you get paid when the stock moves up

4. Buying a PUT- You pay a premium price based on the STRIKE price you chose. With PUTS you get paid when the underlying stock price goes down

5. Premium price goes up when the trade moves in your favor (call betting upside, put betting downside movement)
6. The goal is to buy a premium and resell it for a higher premium when the trade works
7. Like basic stock trading, you want to scale in and out of your position

9. People see cheap premium and tend to pick those, not knowing in reality they are risking more!
10. Don’t let the premium price dictate which strike you chose.. the higher the premium, the less risk/ volatility that trade will see!

11. When day trading options, you are essentially trading DELTA
12. Delta is what your premium will pay per dollar movement in underlying.
Ex. Delta .5 pays 50c per dollar movement in underlying
So if original cost =50$ premium,
1$ move up in underlying pays .50 or 100% trade
