What is the Inside Bar Pattern?
The inside bar pattern is a one candlestick pattern where price forms completely within the previous candlestick.
For an IB to be considered valid both the high and the low of the
candlestick or need to be completely inside the previous candle
2/n

There is often confusion around the wicks or shadows of the candlesticks
NOTE : the inside bar takes into account the candlestick wicks.
This means that the high and low, including the wicks of the candle must be within the high and low of the previous candlestick.
3/n

Is the Inside Bar Bullish or Bearish?

The inside bar is an indecision candlestick pattern.
The inside bar is formed because price was not able to break either the high or the
low of the previous session. .
4/n

A trend continuation pattern

1. If an inside bar forms in a strong trend, for example a trend higher, then it could be signalling a quick pause before price continues on with the trend.

2. It simply means some Volatilty contraction and hence price moving in small range .

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.

A thread about STBT options selling,

The purpose is simple to capture overnight theta decay,

Generally, ppl sell ATM straddle with hedge or sell naked options,

But I am using Today’s price action for selling options in STBT,

(1/n)

Its work on both index (Nifty, BNF) as well some standard stock but i used only for Index on every day and Last 10 days monthly expiry i do in stocks only specific,

It’s purely STBT type’s trade sell today and buy tomorrow kind,

(2/n)

Let’s start the strategy,

Every day at 3:15 PM, Open Nifty or BNF chart in daily TF.

See the last candle formation only; we take trade always based on the last candle formation

(3/n)

Case 1:
If Red Bearish candle formation, Mark the high and low of that candle

High 35979, Low 35667. (16th July)

Based on this candle we simply sell credit call spared (Sell 36000 CE and Buy 36300CE) you can make the difference between two calls 300 or 400 as per your risk,

Case 2:
Bullish strong candle

High 35238 and low 34922 (5th July) (Refer the image)

Based on this candle we sell credit put spread (Sell 34900 Put and buy 34600 put)

1/— OI unwinding for Aggressive trades

Okay, so you must begin your search for these type of trades "ANYDAY AFTER 1 PM".

For eg:

If the market is going up and you spot some large unwinding on the call side.

Sell the immediate puts from where the market reversed to go up.

Where option sellers are trapped no need to check the support resistance as a big directional move is going to happen.

Just aggressively sell puts straight up, pocket the higher premiums and make high returns.

Explaining the logic in the next tweet.

Logic:

Simple, option sellers are tapped. In this case on the call side.

When a seller is trapped he will buy his option back.

Option buyer will not be in a hurry to square off as he is in profit.

This will result in a huge spike in calls.

A call option seller cutting his position means he is not confident that the market will go down or sideways.

We take a hint from him and sell puts to make a profit.
