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

THREAD: SAVE YOUR TAX ON TRADING INCOME

Investors and traders want to make big money in the stock market. But what about paying taxes. All of them would like to save some chips.

In this thread, you will learn a few smart ways to save on your taxes


1. Set-Off Your Losses

Losses from speculative trading can be set off against speculative gains made during a year.

You can carry forward these losses for 4 years.

These losses can’t be set off against non-speculative trading income.

Losses from Short Term Non-Speculative trading can be set off against STCG as well as LTCG for the same year.

However, losses from Long Term trading can be set off against LTCG only.

An investor can carry forward such losses for a period of 8 years.


2. Plough Back Your Profits

Exemption on LTCG of up to 1 lac. So, you can plough back these gains to increase your capital.

Example ~

Investment = 5 lacs
Time period = 1 year
Profit = 1 lac

Book this profit after one year and re-invest after a few days.

No tax liability for this 1 lac but this time your new capital invested will be 6 lacs.

3 Ways to ride a stock 🐎
(a thread) 🧵
>Do retweet if it adds value as this took a long time for me to make

1) 10/20 Day EMA -
Enter the stock as it comes up back to the 10/20 day EMA and ride it till it drops below or SL hits as explained below

Eg -Nitin Spinners as below


2) Weekly Super trend (Setting 2,7): Whenever trend changes , volatility increases & supertrend measures volatility..That's the logic behind it

Eg - Deepak Nitrite


3) 10 Week MA : Trend following can be done using 10 w MA

Eg - Saregama


Fundamental analysis has to be done for best results as these are to be applied on a growing co + sector movt together ..Eg If you will apply to random co with low RS or low growth..This might be very choppy

Do retweet if make sense so as I can make more of such thread

I try to look for exhaustion of supply, drying down of volumes, & narrowing of daily/weekly ranges. Enter after an upmove, on the lowest volume & the smallest daily range, as the stock forms a low volume doji/inside bar while in pullback/retest at/in/near the zone of 10MA & 20MA.

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.


Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.


But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

THE BATTLE OF PRATAPGARH (10 Nov, 1659)

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's impeccable military genius and matchless courage humbled the Adil Shahi Sultanate.

The beginning of what was to come later for the M0ghuls from one of the most indefatigable defenders of Dharma!

(Thread)


Shivaji’s growing influence in Maval region, made him a threat to the Adil Shahi ruler of Bijapur who sought to restrain him. The man who was given the responsibility of this mission, was their commander, Afzal Khan. Afzal was a formidable warrior known for his ruthlessness.(1)

His strategy was to bring Shivaji out into the plains, where he held an advantage, compared to the rocky Deccan terrain. Afzal attacked the holy town of Pandharpur, and later demolished the temple of Bhavani at Tuljapur to instigate Shivaji in a bid to bring him out.(2)

Shivaji was angry but remained patient. Knowing that he could not defeat Bijapuri Sultanate in an open battle, Shivaji moved to Pratapgarh fort, located on rocky heights, surrounded by thick forests of Jawali.(3)

This set the pattern for future Maratha attacks, using guerrilla warfare against larger invading armies rendering them ineffective in unfavorable terrain.(4)

The temple is located on the 27,870 square metre second floor with a 120 kg statue of Ramanuja, representing the years he lived, meant for daily worship. The 1,365 square metre third floor including a Vedic digital library and research center.
