https://t.co/honvUA9lmx

Advantages:
1. Quantitative Analysis in one place
2. Easy to find stocks where action taking place
3. Find the exact price levels at which OI is being added.

(1/5)

For example, Nifty Heatmap Can easily scan for

1. Long Build up (Price up and OI up)
2. Long Unwinding (Price down and OI down)
3. Short Buildup (Price down and OI up)
4. Short Covering (Price up and OI down)

(2/5)

1. 15 mins Built up can check in any stock
2. Easy to find Intraday Bullish and bearish trend
3. Eg of Bajaj Auto who was up 9% on Friday. Long Built up had started in the morning itself.
4. Shows the quantities also which are being traded in those intervals.

(3/5)

5. There are 25 time intervals available everyday.
6. If a stock has to go up or down a lot it will be heavily dominated in these time intervals.
7. Bajaj Auto had 14 times long built up on Friday.
8. IndusInd Bank had 13 short built ups on Friday. IndusInd fell 3.5%.

(4/5)

Some people5 check the last 45 mins data of the day too to predict the gap opening for the next day.
Data gives them additional conviction, especially if huge contracts addition is taking place.

How to manage risk in Option Selling?

10 frameworks to improve your risk management in 1 month:

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

In this thread you'll how to manage risk with:

1. Directional markets
2. Range-bound markets
3. Mtm stop loss
4. Booking profits
5. Overnight hedging
6. Event Risk
7. Position Sizing
8. No leverage
9. Reducing positions when wrong
10. Calculating risk upfront

Let's go ↓

Directional markets:

There is no point in the market being directional and you adjusting a non-directional trade.

As a general rule, you should only adjust once or maximum twice and then give up on firefighting.

Then you should side with a directional move.

Mistake of a non-directional trader:

Non-directional traders face heavy losses in directional markets.

If you are able to limit your losses in such scenarios, your risk management will improve.

The "I can adjust any move" mindset has to vanish for this to improve.

Big Range:

Moves in a big range are usually violent, and this is where non-directional traders lose money despite the fact that they are correct in assuming that the market is range bound.

Level-based stops work best in such an environment with reduced quantities.

This is the reason I just follow my RS for #peacefultrading

Price > 20 sma & CPR indicates bullish trend for intraday & vice-versa

3) Icharts

As I majorly trade option premiums(short volatility or theta decay strategies)

I keep a track of combined premium of strangle using @iChartsIndia

Combined premium should be trending down & below VWAP to create a strangle

As I need to provide analysis on TV channel.

I need to analyse overall market breadth, futures data & option chain activitiy.

@quantsapp provides

Futures Data : Long Builtup/Short Builtup
Options Data : Max Call OI/ Put OI
Market Breadth : For overall sentiment

5) Spider
