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

Short Straddle is the highest payoff strategy in Option Selling.

However, it comes with huge risks as well.

You become good at managing Straddles with adjustments.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown on them:

🧵

1/ Longer-term short straddle:

If you're a fan of very big ranges for your trades, you'll get the biggest one in long-term options.

Long Term can be 3 months, 6 months, or a year away as well.

The only drawback with longer-term straddles is the slippage.

Example:

In the above example, in the March expiry, we have collected 1500 points in the 18000 Nifty Straddle.

This is actually low risk compared to the monthly or weekly Straddles.

Beginners:

Can try their hands at long-term options.

You'll get sufficient time to adjust and learn.

2/ Weekly expiries will have a very short range:

Higher risk.

Frequent adjustments.

Below is an example of a weekly Straddle in Bank Nifty.

Premium Collected: 700 points

Bank Nifty at times, moves more than this in a day.

Due to these small ranges, people prefer to do weekly Iron Fly instead of Straddles.

This takes care of the undefined risk in a small range in Straddles.

Also requires very slow and easier adjustments.

This year, my trading income crossed ₹3CR in profits.

It took 300 days, no big drawdowns & operated at a 86% win rate percentage in weekly.

Here are the 6 steps for you to do great in trading:

Hope it's helpful to someone.

1/ Learn Price Action

First of all, you need to focus on learning about price action.

If you do so, you'll be able to understand the big player's footprints better which is critical to know as we can side with them to make profit.

Better to be with them than against them.

2/ Journal your trades

Journaling will change your trading forever.

Why? Because you will precisely know where you are going wrong and whether you keep repeating the same mistakes.

You'll also know in which market you perform the best and in which type of markets you don't.

3/ Avoid losing more than 2% on a trade

I have seen many traders including the really good ones as well, where one big loss will spoil a month or two of their trading year.

The loss becomes so big to overcome that more mistakes are made.

So don't go in a big loss itself.

4/ Think only from a buyer vs seller point of view

You should know who is in control, a buyer or a seller not in options but in futures.

Also understand, at which points do these traders usually tend to give up.

Can take trades confidently and aggressively then.

Top 4 set up I love to follow.

Buy all time high
Sell all time low

Buy 52 week high
Sell 52 week low

Buy 50 days high
Sell 50 days low

Buy above ST 10.2 (MR trade where DC 50 low & high is 10 ATR or more)
Sell below ST 10.2( MR trade for long unwind or shock therapy apply)

This weekend scanner results! Do you know how simple this scanner is?

Just CCI(34) crossing 100 on weekly TF, marketcap>500, volume greater than 50,000, and price>10.

What else do you need?

RARE SIGHT for Technical Analysts:
A breakout above the Rising Wedge pattern(rather than a breakdown).

Now we could be in a TOO FAST and FURIOUS zone.
