Breakout > 630

I have earlier shared some setups/strategies for Intraday. One of them was ORB (opening range breakout) setup.. but I still get DM about this. So here's a thread about how to find ORB stocks: (1/12)

Stocks that are in consolidation or on the verge of a breakout and has already given a breakout from consolidation - both category stocks should be in your watchlist.

Now the question is.. with so many stocks around, how one must filter and check? (2/12)

I mostly trade in F&O stocks in Intraday - it has 188 stocks after new addition and can be filtered as per sector rotation.
Find the sector or theme with good recent performance and keep its stocks in watchlist. I keep an alert for breakout price when I see a good chart. (3/12)

Another way to filter stocks is to keep an eye on the new additions in the F&O and the stocks that are in news.

Not every stock gives a move of 7-8%. Look for stock that move 7-8% in one go when they give a breakout (Stocks unlike ITC that moves once in a year). (4/12)

There are a few stocks that are tailor made for ORB. And those stocks should be in your watchlist.
IRCTC, Mindtree, Bajaj Twins, IEX, TataElxsi, Naukri, Coforge are some great examples. Rest you can observe and add.

How you can filter stocks for Intraday trades - 🧵

As a kid, we would do homework before school the next day - you have to do homework here too. A specific sector performs on a particular day and studying things a day before will help you spot that particular sector. (1/11)

To prepare for the next trading day, you got to check the Index charts of all sectors. You got to keep an eye on a specific Index if you see a few factors:

- If any Index closed exactly at the resistance, you can get a trade on either side on the next day. (2/11)

- If it gave a rejection candle at resistance.

- If any Index closed exactly at support, you can get a trade on either side the following day.

- If there was a bullish signal at the support.

- If any Index gave a breakout or breakdown and then gave a good closing. (3/11)

- If any Index has taken support at 50 or 200 EMA.

Once you spot the Index, look at all the stocks in that particular Index. Pick at least 3-4 stocks from that Index and add them to your watchlist for the next day. It's ideal to check both higher and lower timeframes. (4/11)

What you should do next day? (When I am unable to check Indices and stocks a day before, I sometimes directly start with this process.)

- Start with checking the top gainers/losers list. I observe market from 9:15 to 9:45am to check the sectors performing well on that day.(5/11)

Option trading is tough but here’s what can make it easier for you

8 option strategies that you can use in any market (sold as a ₹ 50,000 course !)

1/ Bullish: Put Spread (Vertical Spread)

This means shorting a near OTM Put Options and buying far OTM Put Options to hedge.

Let's consider, I am bullish on Nifty (Spot: 17900).

So I will short 17800 PE and buy 17600 PE as hedge.

Payoff and other details is attached below.

2/ Bullish: Put Spread (Cross Calendar Spread)

It means shorting a near ATM put of current expiry and buying OTM put option of next expiry to reduce margin.

Let's consider, I am bullish on Nifty (Spot: 17900).

So I will short 17800 PE (22/09) and buy 17600 PE (29/09).

If you are unsure of the view then cross calendar spread can be used as profit is good in between the range.

Decay in the far OTM option for next expiry will be less than current expiry options so that will be again a benefit.

3/ Bearish: Call Spread (Vertical Spread)

This means shorting a near OTM Call Options and buying far OTM Call Options to hedge.

Let's consider, I am Bearish on Nifty (Spot: 17900).

So I will short 18000 CE and buy 18200 CE as hedge.

Payoff and other details is attached below.

**Options Strategies Broaden Your Range of Trades**

1/n

Going Long Calls/Puts are the plays most retail traders use (equity trader strategies, higher leverage/lower margin)

The beauty of options is there are many more ways to profit, beyond pure directional bias.

#MomoTwit

2/n *Quick Review of Options*

Options are a derivative contract which allows the holder to buy/sell the underlying at a determined price by a certain expiration date.

Options Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta) affect contract P/L based on changes in volatility, time, & price.

3/n -Covered Calls-

If you have 100 shares of XYZ stock, you could short a call contract, w/ your shares as collateral. Strategy allows you to collect premium.

Either your call expires worthless or it closes ITM. If ITM you sell the shares at the strike price of ur short call

4/n Generally, you employ a covered call strategy when you have a near/short term neutral/bearish view on your position. Thus this allows you to collect money/premium or hedge when the stock is not rallying.

5/n -Straddle-

This is where the trader buys a call & put at the same strike price and expiration date. You would do this when u expect a large move outside the expected range in *either* direction

You will lose on this trade if the stock does not move/stays within a range.

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.

The best spreads trader on Twitter: @Ronak_Unadkat

He trades in Nifty & Bank Nifty via spreads majorly.

In the Jainam Broking Speech, he shared how he trades debit and credit spreads:

Here's a breakdown of his 10 step method: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1. Why trade via spreads?

Overnight risk will be always capped
Limited Risk will keep you cool
Hedge our position

Strictly not to do for margin, as that will lead to overleveraging.

Traders Sell option for 100 and buy 10 rs option.

That is for margin reduction, not a spread.

2. Circuit:

If the market opens at the lower circuit or upper circuit, then our loss should be limited.

Eg - Expiry Trading on the 24th Feb Expiry

The market gapped down & traders lost huge sums of money.

Some lost 15% or 20% of their capital in a 4% index move.

If in 4% people are losing so huge then imagine if Modi says black money is back, we will open at an upper circuit.

If India-Pakistan tension news comes again we will open at a lower circuit.

In a 4% index move, people lost 10%, so in the case of a circuit, they will lose 50%.

To recover a 50% loss on capital, you need to make 100% returns with the leftover capital to break even.

In these cases, spreads cover your risk.

Even he lost 3-4% of capital on 24th but it is easy to recover in 1-2 months.
