One up on wall street by Peter Lynch.

1) Know what you own, and know why you own it.

2) Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds.

3) Owning stocks is like having children - don't get involved with more than you handle.

4) In dieting and in stocks, it is the gut and not the head that determines the results.

5) Remember, things are never clear until it's too late.

6) Big companies have small moves, small companies have big moves.

7) When you sell in desperation, you always sell cheap.

Common stocks uncommon profits by Philip Fisher.

1) If the job has been correctly done when a common stock is purchased, the time to sell it is - almost never.

2) Usually a very long list of securities is not a sign of the brilliant investor, but of one who is unsure of himself

3) Take extreme care to own not the most, but the best.

4) Don’t be Influenced by What Doesn’t Matter.

5) In the field of common stocks, a little bit of a great many can never be more than a poor substitute for a few of the outstanding.

Underrated but recommended.

THREAD ON DELTA (The most important GREEK)

Many traders don't indulge in understanding GREEKS because they think they are very complicated.

There are 4 primary greeks:

Delta
Gamma
Theta
Vega

In my experience, understanding DELTA is enough to take benefit of greeks.(1/n)

Delta measures the rate of change of options price based on the directional movement of the underlying.

So this means we can know in advance (theoretically) how much an option will move with the underlying & so we can prepare our strategies accordingly. (2/n)

Value of delta varies between 0 & 1 for calls and -1 & 0 for puts. This figure tells how much an option price will change, when the underlying moves 1 point. So example a delta of .2 of call indicates that for every 1 point change in the underlying, the price will move .2 (3/n)

For option writers who want to trade in neutral strategies like straddle, strangle, ratios, calendar etc, delta can be very helpful. So be it any complex strategy, knowing the NET DELTA can give you an idea of how your strategy will perform in different scenarios. (4/n)

Net delta is just the sum of the deltas of all the bull options (call+ & put-) minus the bear options (call- & put+).

So if we can track this, we will always be in the know of how much exposed our position is. It makes it easier then to adjust our position. (5/n)

CHEAT-SHEET

Multiple Confirmation short.

A Short Entry that we shared in 2020.

Study it point wise.

1. Bearish Candle type and lowering of volume on Price rise.

2. OBV divergence.

3. Accumulation with Bearish candles and Volume increase on Price decrease.

STUDY IT!

Explanation

1. When price increases with a decreasing volume, it's bearish.

2. OBV, On Balance Volume should be correlated with price.
If price increases without similar increase in OBV, it's bearish.

3. During consolidation, if the volume increases during dumps, it's bearish
