IRON CONDOR (IC)

If Short Strangle’s margin and unlimited loss potential is too much for you then the Iron Condor option strategy could be a perfect fit for you. It's not as complex as it sounds

A thread 🧵

#options #trading

 1/ Big Brother of Short Strangle (SS)

I am sure you read our previous thread on SS where you sell slightly OTM options in a sideways market.

To create an IC

Create an SS first

Buy the next OTM CE

Buy the next OTM PE

Let’s clear with an example
Ex.

If Nifty is trading at 16300 and you expect it to trade in a narrow range of 200 points till expiry then

Sell 16400CE

Sell 16200PE

This is SS, right?

Now Buy 16500CE

Buy 16100 PE

That is IC
All strikes should belong to the same underlying, have the same number of lots, and same expiration
2/ The Credit Part – Max Profit
In the above Ex

Sell 16400CE @117

Sell 16200PE @157

Premium received = 274

Buy 16500CE @ 80

Buy 16100PE @ 117

Premium paid = 197

Net premium received = Received – Paid = 274 – 197 = 77

This net credit is the max profit potential in an IC
@117 @157 3/ Safety Comes at a Cost

Max profit potential in case of IC (77) is much less than SS (274), but consider this as cost for capping the risk

We know that there is unlimited risk in SS, in case market makes sharp move. This risk is capped with two long options in case of IC
@117 @157 4/ Max Loss Potential

Our sold strike = 16400

Our bought (protective) strike = 16500

Spread = 16500 – 16400 = 100

Max Loss = Spread – Net premium received

Spread = 100 – 77 = 23

Thereby our maximum loss reduces (from unlimited in SS) to 23 points
@117 @157 5/ IC Risk-Reward Ratio

From the above Ex

Max profit = 77

Max Loss = 23

Risk/Reward potential = 1:3 which is good

In most cases RR will be favorable, that is more than the risk involved
@117 @157 6/ IC Margin Requirements

I have put the above figures in Zerodha margin calculator and came up with following results:

a/ For the following Short Strangle
@117 @157 Margin Required = Rs1,19,237

This seems high for a strategy that is open-ended so it has to be covered as follows
@117 @157 b/ For Iron Condor

We added 100 points spread to the SS (long 16500CE & 16100PE)

Now Margin required = Rs37,693

We need significantly less margin in this 4legged IC than a 2-legged SS. This is because our short options have been funding our long options
@117 @157 7/ Breakeven Points (BE)

There are two breakeven points in IC

Upper BE = Short CE strike + Net premium received

Lower BE = Short PE Strike – Net Premium received

In the above Example

Upper BE = 16400 + 77 = 16477

Lower BE = 16200 – 77 = 16133
@117 @157 8/ Payoff Diagram

From the diagram you can see that you will have max profit if market expires within the short CE and PE strikes

The profit reduces as market expires between the short strikes and BE points

Outside the BE points, there is limited loss
@117 @157 9/ Five-point Summary

IC is an improvisation over SS

It makes money when market expires in the expected range

Has Narrower BE points

Has lesser margin requirements than SS

Got limited risk at the cost of less profit potential than SS

Short Strangle

Net credit with a sideways stance

A thread 🧵

#options #trading


1/ Short Strangles

As the name suggests, you need to sell options in this strategy

It involves 2 legs:

Short OTM CE

Short OTM PE

2/ Stance

You expect the market to trade within a narrow range. A narrow range means low volatility and hence lowering option premium due to theta decay

3/ Net Credit Strategy

Shorting options means that you will receive premium

Ex Nifty spot 16200

To create Short Strangle

Short 16300CE @92

Short 16100PE @132

Total premium received = 92 + 132 = 224


4/ Maximum Profit

The max profit is the premium received at entering the strategy, possible when the market expires within or at the selected strikes

In the Ex, expiry at or between 16100 or 16300, means options go worthless due to theta decay and you receive 224 points per lot

Four Powerful Techniques to Trail Stop-Loss and Maximize Gains.

Are you still suffering from the problem of taking profits too early or getting stopped out too early?

Then this thread is for you.


This writeup will introduce you to some powerful techniques of trailing stop-loss which will help to stay in a trending stock for more time and hence maximize your gains.

Let's dive right in! 🧵

I have spiced up these techniques with some tweaks to make them more effective in riding the juiciest part of the trend.

Trailing is a technique that works well in a strong trending phase of the market.

The market is said to move in four phases – accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown.

The markup and markdown are the trending phases so, trailing would work best during these phases.


The four techniques that I am going to discuss are:

1. Moving Averages Stops

2. Super Trend Stops

3. Swing Lows Stops

4. Percentage Stops

What! Do you already know about them?

I bet after going through the text below you will learn some new tweaks.

There are 1000s of indicators in Technical Analysis...

But you need to MASTER ONLY ONE🎯to win in markets...

I selected 'Commodity channel index' (CCI) as my PRIMARY INDICATOR & all my scanners are a variation of this...

MULTI TIMEFRAME POSITIONAL STRATEGY using CCI...🧵


1⃣ CCI Basics

• CCI > 100 = Bullish and overbought
• CCI < -100 = Bearish and oversold

2⃣Entry criteria

• CCI(34) on Weekly crossed above 100
• CCI(34) on Daily >100
• Entry: above weekly swing high
• Stoploss: Recent swing low on daily chart

3⃣Exit criteria

• CCI(34) on Daily < -100
• Holding period: Few days to many months

Pyramiding your winners should be considered to make your winners big.

Separate post on this to follow.

4⃣ Why trade on a multi-timeframe?

• This is a top-down approach where we observe the larger trend of the stock before we take entries on the smaller or medium trend of the stock. This concept can be compared to tides in the sea.

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.

Singing the Blues:
Taking Down an Insider Threat

"I had all of the advantages. I was already inside the network. No one suspected me. But they found my hack, kicked me off the network...

...and physically hunted me down."


Many pentests start from the outside, wanting to see how the perimeter might be breached.

This pentest started from the inside. My client wanted to assume they had already been breached, and, if breached, how far could an attacker go.

Could they stop me once I was inside?

So they snuck me in. Disguised me as a new employee. Gave me a work computer, an ID badge, an account in their system... hell, I even had a cubicle w/my assumed name on it.

The only person who knew who I really was was their CISO. Everyone else thought I was Jeremy in Marketing.

During most of the first morning, I completed onboarding, made introductions, and completed menial tasks.

But I had to act quick. I only had a week onsite. I had to hack their network while not raising suspicion.

So I set about it.

You have to understand... most "Internal Pentests" are straight forward. The hard part is breaching the network, but once you're inside, it's a target rich environment. End of Life computers, default passwords, everyone a Local Administrator...

Do you know?

The Golden Shine on the artificial jewellery of modern times is a gift by Nagarjuna.

Now,u might be wondering,who is Nagarjuna?

Nagarjuna was the name of an ancient Indian scholar&scientist whose name is associated with the fields of Alchemy,Chemistry& Metallurgy.


He conducted a number of alchemic and Metallurgical experiments directed towards transforming base elements into Gold.
According to Eduard Sachau's Alberuni's India, Nagarjuna was termed as a Metallurgist who was born 100 yrs before Alberuni's time, who was born in 973 CE.


According to some records Nagarjuna was born in 9th century CE near Somnath,Gujarat and according to some Tibetan & Chinese sources he was born in Vidarbha,Maharashtra from where he later migrated to Deccan region.


Edward Schau quotes in his book,'They have a science similar to Alchemy and Nagarjuna is famous for this science which they call as 'Rasayana'.

Nagarjuna's book 'Rasaratnakara' is one of the earliest documented texts on Alchemy,Chemistry & Metallurgy in Sanskrit.Nagarjuna successfully discovered through his experiments the alchemy of transmutation of base metals into Gold.This was not real gold but a gold like substance.

THE NOTICEABLE SIGNS OBSERVED ON IMPENDING DEATH(मृत्यु के संकेत या चिन्ह)

As per Skanda Puran, Kartikeya had narrated to Muni Agastya about the signs of the coming death. This is as per this ancient scripture.


If one experiences the air coming out of right nostril continuously then it is observed that the person dies within three years. If the breathing is continuous towards upper side from both the nostrils, then the person can die within two three days.

If the breathing is through the mouth instead of the nostrils then the person may live only for two days. The person should take into coignance these signs of the occurance of any sudden death.

As per astrology when the Surya is in the 7th house and Chandrama is in its own house and the breathing is only through the right nostril then the danger exists. If you see a yellow black coloured figure who becomes invisible immediately then the life span is limited to 2 years.

If any person sneezes, passes urine, stool and semen all together he has only a year more to live. If a person sees blue coloured snakes flying in the sky then he has only six more months to live. If a person sees any thing opposite to its real self like colours
