Took me 5 years to get the best Chartink scanners for Stock Market, but you’ll get it in 5 mminutes here ⏰

Option trading is tough but here’s what can make it easier for you

8 option strategies that you can use in any market (sold as a ₹ 50,000 course !)

1/ Bullish: Put Spread (Vertical Spread)

This means shorting a near OTM Put Options and buying far OTM Put Options to hedge.

Let's consider, I am bullish on Nifty (Spot: 17900).

So I will short 17800 PE and buy 17600 PE as hedge.

Payoff and other details is attached below.

2/ Bullish: Put Spread (Cross Calendar Spread)

It means shorting a near ATM put of current expiry and buying OTM put option of next expiry to reduce margin.

Let's consider, I am bullish on Nifty (Spot: 17900).

So I will short 17800 PE (22/09) and buy 17600 PE (29/09).

If you are unsure of the view then cross calendar spread can be used as profit is good in between the range.

Decay in the far OTM option for next expiry will be less than current expiry options so that will be again a benefit.

3/ Bearish: Call Spread (Vertical Spread)

This means shorting a near OTM Call Options and buying far OTM Call Options to hedge.

Let's consider, I am Bearish on Nifty (Spot: 17900).

So I will short 18000 CE and buy 18200 CE as hedge.

Payoff and other details is attached below.

Darvas Box is named after Nicolas Darvas, who was a dancer and self-taught investor.

He discovered "Box Theory" after gaining experience from the market and he believed that the shares which move up and down the chart move in a specific box pattern.

2/11

There are some condition to use Darvas Box and we will discuss only buy strategy:

1. Stock should be trading near all time high levels
2. Fundamentals of the company should be good
3. Volumes play a crucial role

Prefer to use it daily time frame and above.

3/11

When the price is near all time high levels, if price consolidates then there is a range or box formed having a upside ceiling and downside floor. Price consolidates in this range before breakout.

Volumes during breakout is very important and it should be high.

4/11

Let's see some example now.

Dmart was trading in a range of 1955-2438 for six months.
After breaking this range upside, DMart price rallied from 2500 to 3200+ (Rally of 28% in 3 months).

During breakout volumes should rise and it should spike up.

A 17 point summary on my 2000+ days as a trader:

Wont take more than 10 minutes ! 🧵

1. Market cycles
Market Always moves in a cyclical way, supply and demand is basic principle for any cycle that involves money. Crack it you’ll be way ahead of the curve.

2. History rhymes
Always remember that history wont repeat but will surely rhyme - go and see all major falls and all major rises. Core principles are same, triggers are variable.

3. Time > Timing
Many people say that timing the mkt is very essential but according to me the more time you spend the more you get to know about mkt that jo course will teach you.

4. Survival
If you manage to survive for the next 3650 days in the market - trust me for the fact that you will definitely be a part of one commodity one bull and bear mkt. Its more valuable than any 1L INR course.

I’ve went from knowing nothing about Trading to currently mentoring 400+ people!

30,000+ hours of experience summed up in 30 lessons.

A thread🧵

1/
The amount of time you spend in the market trading/investing will always give you more insights than reading 100s of books

2/
If you treat markets as a sole income generator, your chances of underperformance due to compulsion of income generation will always be higher !

3/
4-5% a month is always better than chasing unlimited downside risk strategies that promise you 40-50%

4/
Your chances of making money in a stock sitting near 52wk high will always be more than a stock sitting at 52wk low

What all do I read to keep myself informed about new opportunities and to keep updating myself with the new happenings in the world?

Time for a thread about all tools I use to research,Find information and update myself about different subjects

Moving average envelop using #mycomboscans of @mystockedge

A rising wedge when broken decisively on the upside turns into a channel and stretches a little on the top of channel after a non stop move. Expecting this trajectory as of now.
