Four Powerful Techniques to Trail Stop-Loss and Maximize Gains.

Are you still suffering from the problem of taking profits too early or getting stopped out too early?

Then this thread is for you.

This writeup will introduce you to some powerful techniques of trailing stop-loss which will help to stay in a trending stock for more time and hence maximize your gains.

Let's dive right in! 🧵

I have spiced up these techniques with some tweaks to make them more effective in riding the juiciest part of the trend.

Trailing is a technique that works well in a strong trending phase of the market.

The market is said to move in four phases – accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown.

The markup and markdown are the trending phases so, trailing would work best during these phases.

The four techniques that I am going to discuss are:

1. Moving Averages Stops

2. Super Trend Stops

3. Swing Lows Stops

4. Percentage Stops

What! Do you already know about them?

I bet after going through the text below you will learn some new tweaks.

Almost every trader uses moving averages, but most of them do not know how to use them properly.

In below article, we will be covering some important ways in which you can use moving averages to enhance your trading.

1. 52-week high scan 💥

In this scan, you can find stocks that are within the 30% range of the 52-week high and are trading above the 30 and 50 EMA, making them a perfect candidate for breakout

2. ATH scan 🌟

1/ Big Brother of Short Strangle (SS)

I am sure you read our previous thread on SS where you sell slightly OTM options in a sideways market.

To create an IC

Create an SS first

Buy the next OTM CE

Buy the next OTM PE

Let’s clear with an example

Ex.

If Nifty is trading at 16300 and you expect it to trade in a narrow range of 200 points till expiry then

Sell 16400CE

Sell 16200PE

This is SS, right?

Now Buy 16500CE

Buy 16100 PE

That is IC

All strikes should belong to the same underlying, have the same number of lots, and same expiration

2/ The Credit Part – Max Profit

Topic: HOW TO TRADE IN RISING PREMIUMS SCENARIO

Option sellers specially Straddle sellers feel that rising premiums give them excellent opportunity to make easy money. So what they are seeing is the theta aspect of options & ignoring the delta/gamma/vega forces.

1/

With rising premiums come high delta moves. There is a reason why premiums are all increasing up in the first place. High uncertainty & fear is what's controlling the markets during such times. So a volatile 200 point move in nifty is always on the cards.

2/

Adjusting during such delta moves involves high slippages. Such costs go in our system & are irrecoverable. So if the ATM straddle is around 400 & after 200 point downmove, the next straddle is at 450 & the loss is not just 50points but compounded much more.

3/

Also there are chances that there is no decay throughout the day. So a straddle seller has to take that heavy risk of carrying it forward & chances of gap openings are high during such times. If converted into Ironfly, then the cost of the wings is too expensive.

4/

Thus cutting down the initial credit significantly.

There will also be very few instances when premiums don't fall till expiry day. So with each delta move the cost of holding a straddle gets accumulated & pressure keeps mounting for the stubborn option sellers.
