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
@132 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
@132 5/ Maximum Loss

The risk is open ended.If the market expires outside the selected strikes,there will be a loss

The extent of the loss depends upon the magnitude of the rally away from your strikes

In that case, volatility and option premium would increase which means more loss
@132 6/ Advantages over Short Straddles

Short Strangles: are

More sensitivity towards theta decay due to OTM options

Have wider breakeven points, good for option selling

Narrow price move and less volatility means more decay, compared to straddles, for same time-wise correction
@132 7/ Limitations over Short Straddles

While creating a Short Strangle you receive a lesser premium compared to Short Straddles.

This is due to OTM options used in strangles, which have a lesser premium compared to ATM option used in short straddles
@132 8/ Payoff Diagram

Short Strangle Stance – Sideways

Involves selling OTM CE and OTM PE

Max Profit – Limited to the premium received (on expiry within strikes)

Risk – Unlimited (on expiry outside breakevens)

Breakevens – Wider

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.

IRON CONDOR (IC)

If Short Strangle’s margin and unlimited loss potential is too much for you then the Iron Condor option strategy could be a perfect fit for you. It's not as complex as it sounds

A thread 🧵

#options #trading


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

THREAD: SAVE YOUR TAX ON TRADING INCOME

Investors and traders want to make big money in the stock market. But what about paying taxes. All of them would like to save some chips.

In this thread, you will learn a few smart ways to save on your taxes


1. Set-Off Your Losses

Losses from speculative trading can be set off against speculative gains made during a year.

You can carry forward these losses for 4 years.

These losses can’t be set off against non-speculative trading income.

Losses from Short Term Non-Speculative trading can be set off against STCG as well as LTCG for the same year.

However, losses from Long Term trading can be set off against LTCG only.

An investor can carry forward such losses for a period of 8 years.


2. Plough Back Your Profits

Exemption on LTCG of up to 1 lac. So, you can plough back these gains to increase your capital.

Example ~

Investment = 5 lacs
Time period = 1 year
Profit = 1 lac

Book this profit after one year and re-invest after a few days.

No tax liability for this 1 lac but this time your new capital invested will be 6 lacs.

A THREAD

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.

Hello, my name is Gal,
I am an Israeli citizen, and I want to convey this urgent message to the world: Contrary to what you are told, Israel has not "returned to normal" in any way >>

2/ Moreover, despite the desire to create a setting as if there was a full and normal routine here - the Israeli Ministry of Health JUST RECOMMENDED TODAY TO EXTENT THE DECLARATION OF A “STATE OF EMERGENCY” in Israel >>

3/ to which is the foundation for coercion, violation of basic rights, severe discrimination under a "green mark (pass)", prolonged closure (Of about 5 months overall) and a lot of undemocratic and not “routine" restrictions. >

4/ If the situation in Israel had "returned to routine thanks to the astounding success of vaccines" then the "state of emergency" would not have continued.

5/ In fact, since the beginning of the "vaccination project" there has been only more intimidation and in many ways - even though the closure has been lifted, much more coercion.

Did you know?

When Saudi Arabia's King visited India in 1955, PM Nehru ordered all the Hindu Temples and Idols of Hindu Deities that came in Saudi King's way to be covered up.
Our temples are the architectural marvels in their own league.


Each of our temples tells the story of our rich history and cultural heritage. Was Nehru that ashamed of his own nation's heritage that he had to cover them up or there was some other reason? The answer would be best known to him only.

PM Nehru invited the then Saudi King Saud bin Abdul Aziz to India who accepted the invitation and planned a 17 day long official visit to India in 1955. Saudi King had brought a large delegation with him and he had to visit various Indian cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Agra,


Aligarh, Shimla, Mysore and Varanasi. However, when Saudi King reached Varanasi, Nehru ordered to cover all the temples and Idols with curtains that came in the way of the Royal Convoy. During his stay in Varanasi, Govt buildings were painted with the words "Kalma Tayyiba".


'Kalma Tayyiba' means 'There is not God but only Allah and Mohammed is his messenger'. In addition to it, Pooja and Aartis were also stopped at temples. I can call it the appeasement politics of the highest order and Nehru was indeed the greatest appeaser of all times.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.
