FINDING EDGE IN OPTIONS
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) January 9, 2021
24/08/15: Nifty gap down 250 points & another 250 after that. Previous few months return gone, but since I'm quick to take my losses, was saved from ruin. Before that my only edge in option selling was adjustments & my forever edge of following PA. (1/n)

THREAD ON DELTA (The most important GREEK)
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) January 2, 2021
Many traders don't indulge in understanding GREEKS because they think they are very complicated.
There are 4 primary greeks:
Delta
Gamma
Theta
Vega
In my experience, understanding DELTA is enough to take benefit of greeks.(1/n)

My trading journey started at the age of 17. Coming from a family of professional traders it was easy to get a headstart & i quickly got accustomed to it. But at that time i didn't have a clue of what I'm getting into. I very well knew how money is made & lost in the markets(1/5)

Next week I will prefer to sell put in between strike 30500-31000 as shown in pic. Will manage upto 31000.
If breaks 31000 as first down support then will exit put nearby 31000 strike and will sell
31500 call ( will act as resistance again )

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.

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.
“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”
“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”
4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:
“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”
“What’s end-game here?”
“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”
5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:
“What would the best version of yourself do”?
