Here's the step-by-step guide:

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

 @niki_poojary Here's what you'll learn in this thread:

1. What is an iron fly
2. Perks and Drawbacks
3. What to do when in profit?
4. How to adjust when in loss?
5. Thread on How to keep shifting an iron fly for max credit?
6. Risk-free trades benefits

Let's dive in ↓
@niki_poojary 1/ What is an iron fly?

Sell ATM CE and PE (Short straddle)
Buy OTM CE and PE (Hedge it by buying on both sides)

Look at the picture below for an example of an iron fly in current weekly options.
@niki_poojary 2/ Why do traders like iron fly?

Many traders want to receive maximum theta or max credit.

This is why they sell straddles.

But straddles have unlimited risk in them, and can't handle gaps or intraday spikes.

This is why traders like knowing the maximum loss in their trades.
@niki_poojary 3/ Perks of Iron Fly

Low capital required—Possible to buy first, sell later

Limit losses—Know your maximum loss upfront

Adjustments—Can reduce losses to zero or almost nothing

Weekly earnings—Possible on a weekly basis

Jackpot—Potential for a jackpot if it expires in middle
@niki_poojary 4/ Drawbacks of Iron fly

Low Probability—If you want a low max loss, the probability is less than 30%

Higher Brokerage costs—Since there are 4 legs and then you will add 3-4 more to adjust costs will be higher

Slippages—Want to free margin from itm strikes, slippages are high
@niki_poojary 5/ Price action

Apply price action and combine your strategy along with your view and technical analysis.

If good in technicals, then can increase the odds of success.

This will fetch you more money than blindly selling iron flies every week.

Technicals increase ROI.
@niki_poojary 6/ What to do when in profit?

When in profit usually, traders square off their buy legs and buy 1-2 strikes closer.

The aim is to—make the maximum losses even lower than when you started the trade.

Once this is very low, can even stay in the trade for a jackpot.
@niki_poojary 7/ What to do when in loss?

Since the initial range is small, when in loss, traders want to extend the range of the fly.

They pump in more capital and open another iron fly or a broken wing fly (buy just one side and not two like iron fly).

This way the payoff becomes better.
@niki_poojary This is not the only way to adjust an iron fly.

There are multiple ways for different scenarios.

Very good content on Youtube regarding this.

I will have to do another thread on just the adjustments.
@niki_poojary 8/ Directional Iron fly

I already mentioned that if you are good at technicals you can use iron fly to have a very good risk-reward trade on your hands.

For eg, in the current week, if your view was bullish instead of selling ATM straddles, you sold 4-5 few strikes above ATM.
@niki_poojary Let's have a look at a few threads and articles on iron fly.

I found good content about them on @kapildhama Bhai & @SarangSood Sir's handles.

Both have been extensively doing iron flies for a few years.

Also attached Nitin Kamath's article on trading via strategies.

Intuitively understand what you are doing.

@niki_poojary @kapildhama @SarangSood 10/ Benefits of risk-free trade

Can wait for a jackpot

Avoid getting out early with small profits, he believes if you book the strategy out fully in small profits

over the long run hard to make money

as we take full losses when wrong.

@niki_poojary @kapildhama @SarangSood 11/ Discussion on Iron Fly

I asked @SarangSood Sir a question, he used to sell an iron fly before expiry day every week.

Good pointers from him and @kapildhama Bhai.

Can read this thread for their answers.

@niki_poojary @kapildhama @SarangSood 12/ How to make use of an iron fly on Wednesday before expiry day?

Sell next week straddles as they will have huge premiums.

Buy current week options to hedge them as they will be very cheap.

If anywhere near the center can make good money.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

Read this thread...

12 Rules for Professional Positional Traders:

THREAD: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

Rule 1:

"Trade with a stop loss of 2% on your capital for the week."

If you're losing more than 2%, chances are your reading of the market is wrong. The best would be to call it quits for that week.

(1/N)

Rule 2:

" Don't trade in the first 10 mins of any day"

Every day, there is far too much noise in the first few minutes. Positional traders should avoid some time in order to avoid being butchered right away.

(2/N)

Rule 3:

" Wait for candle closings in your timeframe"

Beware of wicks. They are buyer/seller traps. Rather wait for a good candle to close above your support/resistance to open/close a trade.

(3/N)

Rule 4:

" Don't lose more than 10% of your capital in a big gap"

The day I experienced the greatest Mtm loss to my capital was February 24. The figure was -47 lakhs. It was around 10% of my capital. Losing much more would set me back several months.

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.

If you are new to F&O, you can start with Vertical Spreads (Debit and Credit spreads) instead of buying options in Stocks and Indices.
Here are some ways how you can do it, when you can do it and the right position sizing for doing it... 🧵 (1/25)

Traders who are trading in cash and want to explore options generally start with options buying without much knowledge. They buy OTM strikes and trade with wrong position sizing. With no idea about the perfect entry, they end up feeling that F&O is risky. (2/25)

After losses in F&O buying, this is how I approached it and it rewarded me pretty well in initial phase. I find this strategy easy to start things off. And then, you can explore other strategies too and find what works for you. (3/25)

Vertical spread is a directional, defined risk options trading strategy:
1. Bull call spread (Debit spread)
2. Bull put spread (Credit spread)
3. Bear call spread (Credit spread)
4. Bear put spread (Debit spread)

Read about these strategies in the below articles. (4/25)

https://t.co/KQvYOsu9kv

While going through these strategies, you must have thought you have to wait till expiry for profits/loss. (5/25)

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।

So here is a secret: Not everything I write goes anywhere. I have at least 4 books completely written and edited that never went on submission. I have books that stalled out at 20k. I have docs on my computer with opening paragraphs I don't remember writing. But! 1/

Every now and then an idea sticks with me like that corner of tortilla chip that just won't go down your throat. It happened with SPARROWHAWK, which began as 40k of a YA story, died, and was reborn as a comic, thanks to @christopher_j_r and @boomstudios. And now... 2/

It's happening with THE WILLOWS, a short story that you'll see in @UncannyMagazine next year. This Southern Gothic horror story began as an attempt to sell my next Romance to @AbZurdity after the Blud books in 2014 or so. And she didn't buy it. Guess why? 3/

Turns out, it wasn't a Romance! It was Southern Gothic Horror. Even the bones of it screamed strangeness, not sexiness. I loved the taste of the world, but I hadn't found the right story yet. Tried to write it 2 more times and failed. Until I finally understood what it was. 4/

So I took the 50 pages I'd written and cut half of them, twisting the story around from a gothy Romance inspired by the band the Civil Wars and turned it into a spooky descent into madness. And it looked back at me from the abyss as if to say, DUH. Sometimes... 5/

WEAPONS OF MAHADEV

Sarvaripati Shiva is one of the most fearsome manifestations of Mahadev. Assigned with destroying all of the universes at the end of time, Shiva is one of the most fearsome warriors. He is the Mrityunjaya.
Here are some weapons associated with him:


TRISHULA: the 3 pointed blades denote creation, maintenance, and destruction or the 3 Kalas – Past, Present and Future. They also represent 3 Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas).
Shiva’s trishul can only be stopped by Shiva himself.
@onlyonenetra @DetheEsha


Trishul is also said to represent Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These are the three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – in the pranamaya kosha, or the energy body of the human system.
@iamkamyabuch @unever_followme


PARASHU: axe with 4 cutting edges which Shiva gave to Parashurama. In his anger, Parashurama used the parashu to get rid of the all the Earth’s tyrannical kshatriya caste twenty-one times over.
@harshasherni


CHANDRAHASA SWORD: The divine sword Chandrahasa literally means ‘the laughter of the moon’. Ravana gave this sword to Indrajit on different occasions especially to fight against Devas.
GIRISH: A special sword of Shiva with unique characteristics.

How to trade on Expiry day with Nifty straddle?
(System trading on Expiry)

Triple straddle is one of the best and accurate methods for expiry day

If nifty trading at 15720 then will sell three straddles above 50 points from ATM, below 50 points and ATM.

Ex.
Sell straddle 15700(ATM), 15650(ATM-50), 15750 (ATM+50)

Stoploss of 80% on every leg and run your trade till 3 PM

Once SL hit in any Leg just keep holding other leg till expiry with SL (Never or less chance to hit both SL on expiry day)
