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

Many people were asking us in the comments, how we managed.
Explained transparently what we did.
Hope you get something to learn from this. 😀👍

Today morning I was bullish looking at SGX Nifty. The first put I sold was 14000 PE.

After that market took resistance at R2, then I changed my view. Sold 14650 CE and then even uptill 14300 CE. pic.twitter.com/Bo4La6kJRe

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02
📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)
I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.
🤷♂️
I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌
omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
