You should know technical Analysis basics like:
- Support/Resistance
- Chart Patterns
- Candle Patterns
- Dow Theory (HH, LL)
This will help you start taking high probability trades.
If you don't learn to manage your risk, making money in trading is going to be an extremely difficult endeavor
Have some rules:
1. Risk no more than 0.25% per trade as a beginner
2. Risk no more than 2% in a day for the first year
Whatever the amount, divide it by 3. Just risk that amount in 3 trades in a day. Stop trading if you lose 3 times.
This prevents us from overtrading and losing more.
Beginners can learn and practice option selling with 5L capital.
You'll be able to trade 5 lots with this. If you're doing well can take leverage by buying options and selling more quantities.
(Only if you're doing well)
Target options that have over 90% probability of going to zero.
As a beginner target only 0.5% per week.
If you've been profitable for 6 months, try for targets like 0.75% to 1% a week.
If the market is in a range, can sell options on both sides outside the range and make a profit. (strangle)
If the market has given a breakout or breakdown then avoid non-directional trading
I started selecting strikes initially which were very low premiums. But had a higher probability of going to zero.
In order to become a really good trader, you need to have "profit cushion".
- Support/Resistance
- Premium Based Strike Price
Get a sense of when and how to do adjustments.
I personally found trading in stocks is totally useless. Not worth the effort you put in.
Unlike an index, stocks can move > 10% and beyond in the F&O segment
Not worth the stress they cause
Find your comfort whether it's Nifty or Bank Nifty. Personally, I have seen the switch from Nifty to Bank Nifty being quite difficult for some traders.
Might as well start practicing Bank Nifty from the get-go.
- Not building a portfolio when the market corrects 30%
- Venturing in stock options due to their luring premiums
- Intend to recover all losses from the same stock thereby ending up marrying a stock
Beginners would be doing great if they just manage to even break even after their first year.
Most people are wiped out in the initial years.
Later on, one can gradually move from 2-4% per month returns.
This is an area which we want to learn the most and focus upon in the next 2 years.
However, a simple rule to follow, if you're making 4% a month, don't lose more than 2% in any single week.
Big no! We are aware of greeks and have spent time learning them, but they have not helped us in a single trade.
If you know your support & resistance and when to exit, then no need to know Greeks.
Although we don't give much importance to option data as it doesn't work nowadays.
Opstra & NSE websites are enough, additionally, our friends really like Icharts and trading tick.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood
Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.
Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen
1. Keeps following volatility super closely.
Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.
Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.
2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.
3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result
He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.
4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.

2. Theta falls when market moves.

Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.

This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.

4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.
