In NSE, 99.6% of the trading is done in derivatives.

But most of those traders don't know how to lower costs and increase returns.

Here's a breakdown on Options Synthetics: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

 To become a very good trader, we need a strong understanding of options and Futures with their payoff graphs.

Most people have no clarity regarding synthetics & are just too confused.

Let's begin understanding synthetics & how they can help us trade with a clear understanding!
Synthetics are formed by the mixture/combinations of any two of the following three.

1. Calls
2. Puts
3. Futures/Stocks

You don't even need to touch futures/stocks. Whatever kind of payoff graph you want, you can get via options only.
Fut buy + Put buy= Call buy
Ft buy + Call sell = Put sell
Ft sell + Call buy = Put Buy
Ft sell + Put sell = Call sell

Ft buy = Call Buy + Put Sell
Fut sell = Put Buy + Call Sell

Know this very well as this is a must to know.
There are four advantages to trade via synthetics.

Also, we'll look at 3 problems and 4 myths about strategies.

Let's begin, by looking at the advantages:
1) Increased Leverage

Synthetics increases your leverage due to lower margins.

For eg, you want to buy a stock you have to pay a huge margin.

Instead of that you can buy an ATM call and sell an ATM put.

Vice versa for selling.

Margins are drastically lower via options.
2) Charges are drastically lower

There is a cost to trade in futures in the form of huge STT charges, brokerage etc.

Options charges are way lower, so from a charged viewpoint synthetics make more sense.
3) Trade-in far month expiries for eg December

If you want to go long in July series now, can you go long in futures? No.

But you can sell puts and go long in July series now in options.
4) Mtm loss isn't settled through cash

We cannot short stocks in India, we need to trade via futures. Some traders don't like to trade in futures as they trade via collateral and mtm loss needs to be paid daily.

Synthetics takes care of that as u only have to pay when booked.
Problems:

1. Liquidity Issue - In stocks, there are liquidity issues when you try to use synthetics in ITM options.

2. Indian markets have low liquidity in contracts beyond the current month.
Eg: Reliance CMP is 2400

Covered call = Fut buy + 2600 call sell
Put sell via synthetics = 2600 Put Sell

Low liquidity here in the Put sold.
3. Mtm Loss needs to be paid in cash daily:

Options mtm losses can be adjusted against collateral till you don't "book" the loss.

Futures irrespective of if you book or don't book the loss, you still need to pay by cash daily.
Myths

1. Tripple Straddle has a huge advantage.

2. Inverted strangle has an advantage over strangles.

I couldn't have explained better than @SarangSood Sir this concept in his thread.

Read how he shows you how there is no advantage to both.

https://t.co/Gn6hjqIEzm
3. Futures "hedged" with puts

If you buy a call profit is unlimited, but if no movement occurs then the option will deteriorate in value.

If you buy fut and buy put, and if the stock doesn't move, the put goes to zero and fut doesn't give profit.

Both are the same.
Some people avoid option buying due to:

1. Low probability of success
2. Constant theta decay.

These same traders when they trade futures are buying puts as "hedges" too which is the same as buying options.

This is totally illogical.
4. Covered Calls

Can achieve the same via only selling puts.

When we buy fut and sell call to "hedge" we pay two margin requirements.

Selling a put requires only one margin.

Vice-versa for covered puts.
We hope we helped you clear some misconceptions/doubts regarding synthetics.

#FreeTip
Finding Strike Prices to sell Options based on #Vix
Eg:
As on 15/06/21,
#Nifty 15869
#Vix 14.61
Days to expiry = 2
Exp Range = 15869 X (1-(14.61% / sqrt(365/2))) to 15869 X (1+(14.61% / sqrt(365/2)))
ie, 15697 to 16040;
Hence pe strike 15700, ce strike 16050;

There are many strategies in market 📉and it's possible to get monthly 4% return consistently if you master 💪in one strategy .
One of those strategies which I like is Iron Fly✈️

Few important points on Iron fly stategy

This is fixed loss🔴 defined stategy ,so you are aware of your losses . You know your risk ⚠️and breakeven points to exit the positions.
Risk is defined , so at psychological🧠 level you are at peace🙋‍♀️

How to implement
1. Should be done on Tuesday or Wednesday for next week expiry after 1-2 pm
2. Take view of the market ,looking at daily chart
3. Then do weekly iron fly.
4. No need to hold this till expiry day .

5.Exit it one day before expiry or when you see more than 2% within the week.
5. High vix is preferred for iron fly
6. Can be executed with less capital of 3-5 lakhs .
https://t.co/MYDgWkjYo8 have R:2R so over all it should be good.

8. If you are able to get 6% return monthly ,it means close to 100% return on your capital per annum.

MEENAKSHI AMMAN, MADURAI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

A paadal Petra sthalam where Shiva took the form of Sundareswarar (the handsome one) and married Devi Parvati (Meenakshi).
Devi is also known by the name Angayarkanni (mother with the beautiful fish eyes).
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi Meenakshi emerged from yagna fire as a 3 year old girl when Pandyan King Malayadwaja and Kanchanamalai were praying for a child.
It is said that Devi was born with three breasts and there was a prophesy that her superfluous breast would melt away when she met her husband.


Devi ruled over Madurai and captured Indralok. She went on to capture Kailasha. When she saw Shiva, her 3rd breast disappeared and she realised that Shiva would be her consort.
The divine marriage was attended by all Devas and Sri Vishnu (as her brother) gave her hand to Shiva.


It is said that Indra found a swayambhu lingam at Kadamba Vanam. He placed it in Madurai where the kshetram stands. Here, Shiva is seen on the vehicle of Indra.
The Golden Lotus Tank is said to be the place where a golden lotus blossomed for the puja performed by Indra.


The Meenakshi Thirukalyanam festival is celebrated in the Chithirai month to mark the divine marriage of Meenakshi Amman. The festival includes a procession where Meenakshi and Sundareshwara travel in a chariot and Sri Vishnu gives away his sister in marriage to Shiva.

Hinduism is a minority religion in Punjab.

During the Khalistan movement, the minority Hindus and Jains were subjected to several attacks. Hindu and Jain temples were frequently vandalized and desecrated. This thread documents a few instances.

Thread

Durgiana Mandir is one of the oldest temples of Amritsar. According to the regional Hindu tradition, the temple was built on the spot where Lava and Kusha bound Hanuman. The temple annually attracts millions of Hindus from all over the country.


Amristsar has a very ancient Hindu history.

According to the regional Hindu tradition recorded in the "Survey of Amritsar", Amritsar got its name from Amrit immersed by Lava and Kusha in a pond.


Durgiana Mandir was rebuilt in 1921.

It was used to house the Murtis of Vishnu and Durga which were thrown out from the Parikrama of Harmandir Sahib in 1905.

Because of its presence in Amritsar, it became a frequent target of radicals during the Khalistan movement.


In 1982, in what was a completely unprovoked attack, the Dal Khalsa "activists" threw a severed cow head inside Durgiana temple.

राम-रावण युद्ध समाप्त हो चुका था। जगत को त्रास देने वाला रावण अपने कुटुम्ब सहित नष्ट हो चुका था।श्रीराम का राज्याभिषेक हुआ और अयोध्या नरेश श्री राम के नेतृत्व में चारों दिशाओं में शन्ति थी।
अंगद को विदा करते समय राम रो पड़े थे ।हनुमान को विदा करने की शक्ति तो राम में थी ही नहीं ।


माता सीता भी हनुमान को पुत्रवत मानती थी। अत: हनुमान अयोध्या में ही रह गए ।राम दिनभर दरबार में, शासन व्यवस्था में व्यस्त रहते थे। संध्या को जब शासकीय कार्यों में छूट मिलती तो गुरु और माताओं का कुशल-मंगल पूछ अपने कक्ष में जाते थे। परंतु हनुमान जी हमेशा उनके पीछे-पीछे ही रहते थे ।


उनकी उपस्थिति में ही सारा परिवार बहुत देर तक जी भर बातें करता ।फिर भरत को ध्यान आया कि भैया-भाभी को भी एकांत मिलना चाहिए ।उर्मिला को देख भी उनके मन में हूक उठती थी कि इस पतिव्रता को भी अपने पति का सानिध्य चाहिए ।

एक दिन भरत ने हनुमान जी से कहा,"हे पवनपुत्र! सीता भाभी को राम भैया के साथ एकांत में रहने का भी अधिकार प्राप्त है ।क्या आपको उनके माथे पर सिन्दूर नहीं दिखता?इसलिए संध्या पश्चात आप राम भैया को कृप्या अकेला छोड़ दिया करें "।
ये सुनकर हनुमान आश्चर्यचकित रह गए और सीता माता के पास गए ।


माता से हनुमान ने पूछा,"माता आप अपने माथे पर सिन्दूर क्यों लगाती हैं।" यह सुनकर सीता माता बोलीं,"स्त्री अपने माथे पर सिन्दूर लगाती है तो उसके पति की आयु में वृद्धि होती है और वह स्वस्थ रहते हैं "। फिर हनुमान जी प्रभु राम के पास गए ।

RISHI BHRINGI AND ARDHA-NAREESHWAR SHIVA

Rishi Bhringi was a devoted bhakt of Mahadev. However, in his devotion to Shiva, he ignored Mata Parvati.

Once, he visited Kailasha along with other Rishis. All the Rishis did parikrama of Shiva and Parvati both except Rishi Bhringi.


The same situation continued whenever Rishi Bhringi visited Kailasha. Mata Parvati decided to teach him that Shiva and Parvati are one and inseparable.
So on one such visit, Mata Parvati sat on the left lap of Mahadev when Rishi Bhringi came.


Seeing this, Rishi Bhringi took the form of a bee(some say bird) and did pradakshina/ parikrama only around Shiva’s head and ignored Ma Parvati.
Angered Mata took away the Shakti from his body. Rishi lost his blood and flesh and was left with a bare skeletal form.


Seeing him in such a situation where he was unable to support himself, Shiva granted a third leg to him.
Shiva then fused one half of his body with that of Ma Parvati and appeared as Ardha Nareeshwar.
Rishi Bhringi finally realised that Shiv and Shakti are one and the same.

Yantrodharaka Anjaneya Temple, Hampi, Karnataka.

This temple dedicated to pawanputra Hanuman, near the banks of Tungabhadra river was built by dwaita philosopher and rajguru of the Vijayanagar empire, Sri Vyasaraja around +500 years ago.


:It is only in this temple that Hanuman appears in a prayer position. In this image, Bhagwan Hanuman’s crown has been formed by his tail.12 monkeys have been carved around this amulet.


:They represent the 12 days Sri Vyasaraja prayed to Hanuman ji. Each monkey holds the tail of the monkey in front of him but is facing backward. Seed syllables have also been carved around the amulet.


:It is believed that Sri Vyasaraja used to draw a picture of lord Hanuman here on the rocks before offering prayers using charcoal and the sketch disappeared after prayers.This incidence happened for 12 days in a row until he pleaded to bhagwan to appear in front of him.


On the 12th day, Hanuman ji appeared in front of Sri Vyasaraja and blessed him. Hanuman asked Sri Vyasaraja to constrain him in a hexagonal amulet & install him in that place.
