The most valuable hedging strategy you aren't using:

The IRON FLY STRATEGY.

Knowing how to use it will protect you from gaps and intraday spikes and 10x your hedging experience.

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.
@niki_poojary @kapildhama @SarangSood 9/ How to manage an iron fly with the aim of receiving the max credit always?

Shows you how to adjust an iron fly.

Intuitively understand what you are doing.

(@SarangSood)

https://t.co/S6r5IXy3dP
@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.

https://t.co/p28hU5LgIS
@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 . . . .

How @ITRADE191 selects strikes to trade in and how he follows risk management.

Short thread explained via pictures with the help of @niki_poojary.

1. At the start of the week

i.e. on Friday and Monday, DJ Sir prefers to sell OTM options of 50 rs premium in Nifty.

- ATM options won't decay a lot at the beginning
- With this premium reward is good
- Since these strikes are 4-5 strikes away they are relatively safer


2. On Tue/Wed/Fri

He prefers to trade in ATM or near OTM options.

- ATM options have the highest theta decay
- Since there are only 2-3 days to expiry options sellers by default have a higher probability of winning
- Huge reward if market stays flat


3. Directional/Trending days

- Capture huge profit via ATM option selling
- Futures only where he has good conviction
- Even if doesn't trend much decay will be huge
- Only on days Tuesday to Thursday


4. Which series to trade options in?

- INTRADAY trades option selling is ONLY in weekly expiry
- Option buying for hedging is done MAJORLY in next week/monthly expiry
- This way we have time to adjust
- Theta decay slower than weekly

How do I save taxes above 50,00,000 income?

• Not hiding income
• Not spending too much time
• Not trading in multiple accounts simultaneously

It's the same process that the top traders & fund managers use to save taxes. It works.

THREAD: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

The Ultimate Guide for Traders who want to understand how they can use:

1) Unsecured Loans
2) Claim Expenses
3) Pvt Company

To drastically lower their taxes.

Have spoken to a lot of CA's and have got this information from them.

Follow these steps to pay lower taxes: ↓

Step 1:

The first thing traders do is loan their money to their family members to trade in their accounts so that they can make a profit in the family members' name.

This way the tax is divided by different names.

So you don't have to pay taxes on one name only.

How do they do this?

They use "Unsecured Loans".

It is completely legal to give a loan to your family.

Once they get the loan in their account, they can use that money to start trading.

30% tax is charged above 15 lakhs income.

Until 15 lakhs, you can trade in their names.


Assuming a family of 4 (most common) until 60 lakh profit you can do this.

This would be much better than making 60 lakh income on one name only.

Not only are you charged a lower tax rate by doing this, but you also make use of the no-tax slabs.

Do you know?

Multiverse is mentioned in several of Hindu Scriptures.

In 1927 came a theory named 'Big Bang' which was a scientific effort to provide some explanation about how our Universe came into existence. It suggested that Universe started as a tiny, hot and dense...


...something that expanded rapidly from the singularity with a big explosion or Big Bang from which formed the galaxies, stars and the rest of the Universe.
However, the science in our Vedas explained these concepts since millennia. Rig Veda mentions Hiranyagarbha and Brahmanda..

...Visphotak which talks about a similar theory.
The concept of Parallel universes may be novel to the modern scientists but it rests very comfortably in ancient Hindu Cosmology. The Puranas are replete with descriptions of many worlds whose inhabitants are ruled by kings in...


...the human plane and Gods in a higher plane. The many Gods in turn belong to many different worlds and planes of existence. At the highest level of hierarchy are the trinity namely Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesha, ruling the divine Kingdoms. Brahma is the creator who dreams...


...the Universe into being, which is maintained by Vishnu. What Humans perceive as reality is in fact the dream of Brahma, misled by matter. Brahman( not to be confused with Brahma) is the ground of all reality & existence. Brahman is uncreated,external, infinite & all-embracing.

#ज्योतिष_विज्ञान #मंत्र_विज्ञान

ज्योतिषाचार्य अक्सर ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव के समाधान के लिए मंत्र जप, अनुष्ठान इत्यादि बताते हैं।

व्यक्ति के जन्म के समय ग्रहों की स्थिति ही उसकी कुंडली बन जाती है जैसे कि फ़ोटो खींच लिया हो और एडिट करना सम्भव नही है। इसे ही "लग्न" कुंडली कहते हैं।


लग्न के समय ग्रहों की इस स्थिति से ही जीवन भर आपको किस ग्रह की ऊर्जा कैसे प्रभावित करेगी का निर्धारिण होता है। साथ साथ दशाएँ, गोचर इत्यादि चलते हैं पर लग्न कुंडली का रोल सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है।


पृथ्वी से अरबों खरबों दूर ये ग्रह अपनी ऊर्जा से पृथ्वी/व्यक्ति को प्रभावित करते हैं जैसे हमारे सबसे निकट ग्रह चंद्रमा जोकि जल का कारक है पृथ्वी और शरीर के जलतत्व पर पूर्ण प्रभाव रखता है।
पूर्णिमा में उछाल मारता समुद्र का जल इसकी ऊर्जा के प्रभाव को दिखाता है।


अमावस्या में ऊर्जा का स्तर कम होने पर वही समुद्र शांत होकर पीछे चला जाता है। जिसे ज्वार-भाटा कहते हैं। इसी तरह अन्य ग्रहों की ऊर्जा के प्रभाव होते हैं जिन्हें यहां समझाना संभव नहीं।
चंद्रमा की ये ऊर्जा शरीर को (अगर खराब है) water retention, बैचेनी, नींद न आना आदि लक्षण दिखाती है


मंत्र क्या हैं-
मंत्र इन ऊर्जाओं के सटीक प्रयोग करने के पासवर्ड हैं। जिनके जप से संबंधित ग्रह की ऊर्जा को जातक की ऊर्जा से कनेक्ट करके उन ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव को कम किया और शुभ प्रभाव को बढ़ाया जाता है।

1/Politics thread time.

To me, the most important aspect of the 2018 midterms wasn't even about partisan control, but about democracy and voting rights. That's the real battle.

3/More good news: Florida's proposition to give felons voting rights won. But it didn't just win - it won with substantial support from Republican voters.

That suggests there is still SOME grassroots support for democracy that transcends
