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:🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

@niki_poojary 1/ Higher Returns

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.
@niki_poojary 2/ Easy management

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.
@niki_poojary 3. Avoid adjustments constantly

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.
@niki_poojary 4. Improves price action analysis

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.
@niki_poojary 5. Avoid strangle trap

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.
@niki_poojary 6. Best traders are directional Traders

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.
@niki_poojary 7. Can potentially make jackpots

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.
@niki_poojary 8. Can apply to any instrument

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.
@niki_poojary 9. Applicable on any day

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.

இது சூரிய குலத்தில் உதித்த இராமபிரானுக்கு தமிழ் முனிவர் அகத்தியர் உபதேசித்ததாக வால்மீகி இராமாயணத்தில் வருகிறது. ஆதித்ய ஹ்ருதயத்தைத் தினமும் ஓதினால் பெரும் பயன் பெறலாம் என மகான்களும் ஞானிகளும் காலம் காலமாகக் கூறி வருகின்றனர். ராம-ராவண யுத்தத்தை


தேவர்களுடன் சேர்ந்து பார்க்க வந்திருந்த அகத்தியர், அப்போது போரினால் களைத்து, கவலையுடன் காணப்பட்ட ராமபிரானை அணுகி, மனிதர்களிலேயே சிறந்தவனான ராமா போரில் எந்த மந்திரத்தைப் பாராயணம் செய்தால் எல்லா பகைவர்களையும் வெல்ல முடியுமோ அந்த ரகசிய மந்திரத்தை, வேதத்தில் சொல்லப்பட்டுள்ளதை உனக்கு

நான் உபதேசிக்கிறேன், கேள் என்று கூறி உபதேசித்தார். முதல் இரு சுலோகங்கள் சூழ்நிலையை விவரிக்கின்றன. மூன்றாவது சுலோகம் அகத்தியர் இராமபிரானை விளித்துக் கூறுவதாக அமைந்திருக்கிறது. நான்காவது சுலோகம் முதல் முப்பதாம் சுலோகம் வரை ஆதித்ய ஹ்ருதயம் என்னும் நூல். முப்பத்தி ஒன்றாம் சுலோகம்

இந்தத் துதியால் மகிழ்ந்த சூரியன் இராமனை வாழ்த்துவதைக் கூறுவதாக அமைந்திருக்கிறது.
ஐந்தாவது ஸ்லோகம்:
ஸர்வ மங்கள் மாங்கல்யம் ஸர்வ பாப ப்ரநாசனம்
சிந்தா சோக ப்ரசமனம் ஆயுர் வர்த்தனம் உத்தமம்
பொருள்: இந்த அதித்ய ஹ்ருதயம் என்ற துதி மங்களங்களில் சிறந்தது, பாவங்களையும் கவலைகளையும்


குழப்பங்களையும் நீக்குவது, வாழ்நாளை நீட்டிப்பது, மிகவும் சிறந்தது. இதயத்தில் வசிக்கும் பகவானுடைய அனுக்ரகத்தை அளிப்பதாகும்.
