7 effective trading journal tools that you can use to make better decisions (instead of just maintaining a trading journal):🧵

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

 @AdityaTodmal Lets start with the harsh truth.

80% of traders just maintain a trading journal and never evaluate.

Recording your trades on day-to-day basis is just maintaining a trade book which your broker can furnish anytime.

Hence this exercise of recording trades is simply futile.
@AdityaTodmal Things to record in the Trading Journal:

1.Long/ Short
2. Symbol
3. Qty
4. Buy Date
5. Buy price
6. Sell Date
7. Sell price
8. Profit/Loss
9. SL
10. % of cap risked
11.RoI %
12.RoCE %
13.Days held
14.R/R
15.Set up used
@AdityaTodmal Once all the records are in place you need to build an analytics tool.

Trade records on its own is just the raw data which needs to be processed to derive info out of it.

Record your 50 or 100 trades.
@AdityaTodmal Thereafter, analyse the following:

1. No. of wins
2. No. of Losses
3. % of winning trades ( No. of wins/Total trades)
4. Avg gain %
5. Avg loss %
6. Gain to Loss ratio ( 4./5.)
7. Reward to Risk ratio
8. Open Risk
@AdityaTodmal 1. No. of wins:

If you have taken 50 trades in total of which let say 20 were in your favour then the no. of wins is 20 trades on 50.
@AdityaTodmal 2. No. of losses:

Considering the above example the no. of losses = 50-20 =30 trades.
@AdityaTodmal 3. % of winning trades:

Simply divide the no. of winning trades divided by total trades.
i.e. 20/50 = 40%.

This is also known as the batting average (Reference drawn from @markminervini books).
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini 4. Avg gain %:

If your capital is 10lacs, you make 20k out of it from one trade the % gain is 20k/10lacs i.e. 2% gain

Now take average of all the % gains out of your 50 trades
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini 5. Avg Loss %:

If your capital is 10lacs, you lost 10k out of it from one trade the % loss is 10k/10lacs i.e. 1% loss

Now take average of all the % losses out of your 50 trades
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini 6. Gain to Loss ratio:

Simply divide Avg gain % to Avg loss %

Lets say you average gain works out to 15% and average loss works out to 5% then the Gain to Loss ratio is : 15/5 = 3:1

But it doesn't take into consideration the batting average
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini 7. Reward to Risk ratio:

Lets say you have a 40% winning ratio, and you avg gain % is 15% and avg loss % is 5%

Then the Reward/ Risk ratio = 40*15/ 60*5 =2:1

Reference: Think and Trade Like a Champion book by @markminervini (A must read)
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini Now using the above logic, first find your winning ratio and then determine what should be the ideal gain/loss ratio which will help you to have a better Reward to Risk ratio.
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini 8. Open Risk:

Check all the open positions with reference to SL.

However there's an overnight risk in case the stock/index opens with a gap.

Reduce your positions or use hedge mechanisms such that your open risk is at your comfortable levels i.e. usually between 2-5%.
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini And that's it!

The next time you record your trades on the trading journal try to analyse on the above 8 points.

Be creative and you can compute the winning %, gain to loss ratio and Reward to risk ratio for specific systems as well.
@AdityaTodmal @markminervini Ultimately you can use these analytics to see where you failed and why you failed and try to rectify or eliminate those issues.

Bet more on the system that works for you.

Subasish Pani revealed the most simple, yet successful strategy: 5EMA set up!

Here is a thread of 23 video clips on the 5EMA set-up that will save you hundreds of hours and available to you for no cost!

5EMA set-up: 🧵!

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/Don't hate on any style:

• Admire the fact that money can be made from intraday, scalping, positional, option buying, selling, futures, etc

• Try to understand which one fits you the most and apply that, then ignore the rest!


2/ System with a R/R of minimum 1:3:

• Here is a system that works for investing, scaping, positional, options buying and selling, futures etc.

• The R/R of this set up in intraday is 1:3 & for investing can go beyond.


3/ Why EMA over SMA? :

• Exponential moving average is used, as it places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.


4/ 5EMA moves very close to the prices:

• Mean reversion theory: Asset prices usually tend to go back to normal or average levels after an extreme price move.

• Prices routinely oscillate around the mean but tend to return to that same average price over and over.

I have recd a lot of queries on exactly which video did Subasish Pani taught this set up..
Folks you can check his y'days video

Although, I have learnt this extended move set up from @iManasArora 🙌

Do follow him & check his timeline for such set ups!


I shorted the ATM CE's which Subasish Pani does, and hence I mentioned strike selection inspired by Mr. Pani!

Sep 1, 2021, fresh month starts with a challenge i.e. introduction of Peak Margin rules by SEBI

Time for a 🧵

Lets demystify the Peak Margin rules and try to find solutions for the option sellers!

Peak Margin by SEBI:
• 100% upfront margin for intraday trades in the derivative segment
• Effectively MIS orders = NRML orders, as both will attract same margin in the derivative segment
• Minimum margin for equity intraday trades will be 20% of trade value i.e. 5X leverage

How things used to operate erstwhile?
• Until last year there were no standardization of leverage
• Brokerage firms used to offer their clients intraday leverage of 5x, 10, 15x, 20x etc. as margin reporting was done on EoD basis

• Brokerage firms were allowing customers to take intraday positions with margins far lesser than required via products like MIS, BO, CO, etc. as the positions used to get squared off before the trading hours

• Eg: If 1 lot of Nifty futures require (SPAN + exposure of) Rs. 1.1L, brokerage houses would allow to trade with just 20-30% of this amount i.e Rs. 33k

97% of retailers buy options and lose money.

But, you can buy options:

• At the right time
• For BTST
• When premiums are too low

The difference? Understanding how they work.

Here's how you can buy options if you're a beginner:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ Basic knowledge of Technicals:

Option buying is about capturing the momentum, hence sound knowledge of technical analysis is required.

Without any knowledge, if one is buying an option purely because he/she feels market will rise/fall is equivalent to buying lottery tickets.

2/ Technical Analysis knowledge:

The analysis could involve usage of pure price action or indicators or a mix of both to capture momentum.

Getting the direction right is very crucial, however along with the direction the timing is equally important.

3/ Basics of CE & PE:

Option holders can buy or sell a security at a predetermined price using contingent financial derivatives called options.

In return for such access, option purchasers charge a small amount referred to as a premium to such sellers.

4/ Why CE & PE options are purchased:

CE is an abbrevation for Call Option and PE for Put option.

The CE buyer benefits every time the price of the underlying goes up.

Polar opposite is the PE option, as a PE option buyer benefits every time the price of the underlying falls.

Options trading is luring a lot of inexperienced traders who are looking for supernormal gains.

However, most of them end up losing money as they aren't familiar with the basics yet.

8 basics you must know before placing your next trade 🧵:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal

1/ Option Premium consists of two things:

i) Intrinsic value which represents how much money the option would be worth if it were to expire right now.

ii) Time value represents the premium you pay since the option does not expire right now.

2/ Intrinsic value:

•It is the difference between the strike price and the asset's current market price when the difference is positive.

•Intrinsic value for ITM calls> 0.

•Positive payoff for the buyer.


3/ Example of identifying ITM options:


4/ Time value aka Theta:

• Theta represents the time value decline of an options contract.

•Time value is the additional amount over & above Intrinsic value.

•Time value on an option with 20 days to expiry > Time value on an option with 2 days to expiry.

TREND TEMPLATE CRITERIA by the Legend @markminervini

A stock must meet all eight criteria to be deemed in a confirmed stage 2 uptrend.

1. Stock price is above both the 150-day (30-week) and the 200-day (40week) moving average price lines.

A Thread🧵

2. The 150-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average

3. The 200-day moving average line is trending up for at least 1-month (preferably 4 to 5 months or longer).

4. The 50-day (10-week moving average) is above both the 150-day and the 200-day moving averages.

5. The current stock price is at least 25 percent above its 52-week low. (Many of the best selections will be 100 percent, 300 percent, or more above their 52-week low before they emerge from a healthy consolidation period and mount a large-scale advance).

6. The current stock price is within at least 25 percent of its 52-week high
(the closer to a new high the better).

7. The relative strength (RS) ranking (as reported in Investor's Business
Daily) is no less than 70, but preferably in the 90s, which will generally be the case with the better selections.

Detailed thread as I promised to RIDE THE TREND with super ease✅

Do read fully as it starts from basic to end & can be long one...

Do retweet & like as this is yrs of my hardwork in few tweets (1/n)

1) For riding trends, first you have to understand trends - Here is how a complete cycle of stock looks like..Stock has 4 stages...We need to be in 2nd one to make money.
Now here we go deeper into stage 2 (2/n)


2) Any stage 2 has phases as this is not a linear journey but the stock will set up multiple bases in between...Below is the example of Balaji amines that highlights how the stage 2 in reality looks now.....


3) So a Stage 2 has periods of bases in between which are the typical resting period for digesting earlier gains. Theoretically looks like this..Stage 2 then a base within stage 2 and stage 2 resumes....


4) The real question is how to ride trend between the bases peacefully so that we don't have to wait in consolidation.

An interesting set of games that I've been vaguely interested in since I was a kid, after seeing one at a friend's house and never being able to find it again, was the BATTLES IN A DISTANT DESERT/BATTLES ON DISTANT PLANETS series.


These are turn-based wargames for windows 3.x, sharing the same engine.
Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)


and Battles on Distant Planets is from 1991, and takes place in SPACE!
I'm pretty sure this is the one I played as a kid.


They've got 3 options to play with:
* Player vs. Player
* Player vs. Computer
* Computer vs. Computer

So it's a 0-2 player game!


They also did a DOS strategy game called "STARDATE 2140.2: GALACTIC CONQUEST" in 1990, but it seems to be lost.
All the games share an experimental AI system based on neural networks.

NARHARI AND BHAGWAN PANDURANG/VITTHAL

Once a goldsmith by the name of Narhari lived in Pandharpur. He excelled in his craft. He had vowed not to look at Pandurang or visit his mandir ever, as he was a Shiva Bhakt.
One day, a wealthy merchant visited him.


He wanted a gold girdle studded with precious gems, to be made for Prabhu Vitthal. Narhari refused to make it as it was for Vitthal.
After many requests, he agreed to make the girdle but asked the merchant to bring the measurement from the mandir as he himself would not go there


The measurement was given n he made the girdle. When the girdle was put on Vitthal, it was loose. Narhari had to shorten it. Now the girdle became tight. So Narhari was forced to take measurement on his own. He had to go to the mandir but went blindfolded to avoid seeing Vitthal


In the Mandir, when blindfolded Narhari touched Vitthal, he felt as if he was touching Shiva with matted hair, the moon, snake in His neck and Trishul in His hand. Ecstatic with joy, he removed the blindfold to see Shiva but he found the murti of Vitthal with Rukmini there.


He realised the truth that there was no difference between Vitthal and Shiva. Narhari at once fell at the feet of Panduranga. He then took the measurement of the waist of Vitthal and this time the ornament fit the Murti perfectly.

Narayan Hari🙏🏻

Secrets of Ganapati (Author - Keshav Sitaram Thackeray)

This article is taken from Keshav Sitaram Thackeray's book 'Dharmachi Devale and Devalcha Dharma'. In it, Bal Thackeray's father is claiming how the Hindu deity of Ganesha is imaginary.
(1/20)

Buddha is Ashtavinayak and "Ganapati Bappa Morya" is "Chandragupta Morya".

In the era of democracy, the head of state is the President. But in ancient India, there was a Gana culture in the monarchy and the head of that Gana was called Ganapati
(2/20)

In ancient India, a prince named Siddharth Gautam was born in royalty. He later became the king of Shakya Gana in this Gana culture. In time, Siddhartha attained enlightenment.

Let us now understand the difference between a real Ganapati and an imaginary Ganapati.
(3/20)

Some clever Brahmin manuvadis made the real Ganapati the imaginary Ganapati.

Buddha was the king of the Shakya Gana, so people called him Ganaraja. He founded Buddhism and became the head of the Shakyas. As the head of Gana, people used to call Buddha as Ganapati.
(4/20)

But the Brahmins Brahmanized Ganapati and created a false Ganapati. When Buddha used to give the message of Dharma to the people, two words would come out of his message. Chitta and Malla.

Chitta is the body.
Malla means waste
