Playing as per the trend usually gets you more conviction in your trades.
Which then leads to higher returns as you trade with the increased confidence.
Rather than selling 30-30 on each side, for eg, can just sell 90-100 on one side and make more.
Most of the traders on Twitter are non-directional traders.
Only a few trade on one side according to direction.
Here are 9 benefits of directional trading you cannot miss:🧵

Playing as per the trend usually gets you more conviction in your trades.
Which then leads to higher returns as you trade with the increased confidence.
Rather than selling 30-30 on each side, for eg, can just sell 90-100 on one side and make more.
It is easier to manage directional trades according to stop loss or targets based on patterns.
Don't need additional factors to think of for eg, premiums, distance from the spot, greeks, etc.
Non-directional option sellers have to constantly do adjustments to their trades.
Many times their original view is right but then the adjustments go wrong.
To combat these adjustments, they make more adjustments that unnecessarily use margins.
You cannot be a good directional trader without having a very good grip on price action analysis.
Constantly using the price to make trades rather than playing for theta leads you to better understand price action.
Most of the option sellers get trapped due to greed of selling on both sides due to lower margins for the second leg.
So to make more returns they sell both sides(strangles).
That's why every week they get trapped unnecessarily.
Two traders come to mind when it comes to directional trading.
1. Mitesh Patel Sir
2. Subhasish Pani
Look at the growth of their trading accounts, both have increased their accounts by doing directional option selling.
If the market is really one side, there are some occasions where you can make windfall profits just by rolling your trades.
Think of the bull market rise where every day was a gap up and upside.
The money people made during that time was huge.
Directional trading can be applied to any instrument once learned how to do it.
For eg, if you can gauge the direction, you can trade in stocks, cryptos, commodities, etc.
The logic is the same everywhere.
Non-directional traders, usually wait for Tuesdays to start the week as that's where theta decay is the highest.
When you play for delta rather than theta, any day is good for you as movement takes place daily, so you can sell options and make a profit.

Do I trade only BNF ?
— Sourabh Sisodiya, CFA (@sourabhsiso19) March 4, 2020
Other than BNF intraday , I run few other systems too.
1) Intraday Momentum
2) Positional systems
3) Vol Crush Trade etc
Goal of system trading is to run few non-correlated strategies together so that system drawdown is at the minimum.#trading #systems pic.twitter.com/mS8jFEaLUW

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.
