You should know technical Analysis basics like:
- Support/Resistance
- Chart Patterns
- Candle Patterns
- Dow Theory (HH, LL)
This will help you start taking high-probability trades.
If you don't learn to manage your risk, making money in trading is going to be an extremely difficult endeavor
Have some rules:
1. Risk no more than 0.25% per trade as a beginner
2. Risk no more than 2% in a day for the first year
You have to decide how much you're willing to lose in a day.
Whatever the amount, divide it by 3. Just risk that amount in 3 trades in a day. Stop trading if you lose 3 times.
This prevents us from overtrading and losing more.
Beginners can learn and practice option selling with 5L capital.
You'll be able to trade 5 lots with this. If you're doing well can take leverage by buying options and selling more quantities.
(Only if you're doing well)
Target options that have over 90% probability of going to zero.
As a beginner target only 0.5% per week.
If you've been profitable for 6 months, try for targets like 0.75% to 1% a week.
If the market is in a range, can sell options on both sides outside the range and make a profit. (strangle)
If the market has given a breakout or breakdown then avoid non-directional trading
I started selecting strikes initially which were very low premiums. But had a higher probability of going to zero.
In order to become a really good trader, you need to have "profit cushion".
Once you get the profit can sell strikes based on:
- Support/Resistance
- Premium Based Strike Price
Get a sense of when and how to do adjustments.
I personally found trading in stocks is totally useless. Not worth the effort you put in.
Unlike an index, stocks can move > 10% and beyond in the F&O segment
Not worth the stress they cause
Find your comfort whether it's Nifty or Bank Nifty.
Personally, I have seen the switch from Nifty to Bank Nifty being quite difficult for some traders.
Might as well start practicing Bank Nifty from the get-go.
- Not building a portfolio when the market corrects 30%
- Venturing in stock options due to their luring premiums
- Intend to recover all losses from the same stock thereby ending up marrying a stock
Beginners would be doing great if they just manage to even break even after their first year.
Most people are wiped out in the initial years.
Later on, one can gradually move from 2-4% per month returns.
This is an area which we want to learn the most and focus upon in the next 2 years.
However, a simple rule to follow, if you're making 4% a month, don't lose more than 2% in any single week.
Big no! We are aware of greeks and have spent time learning them, but they have not helped us in a single trade.
If you know your support & resistance and when to exit, then no need to know Greeks.
Although we don't give much importance to option data as it doesn't work nowadays.
Opstra & NSE websites are enough, additionally, our friends really like Icharts and trading tick.
We've started to use Icharts properly now.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.

Many of you have seen the famous Westrum Organizational Typology model, so prominently featured in State of DevOps Research, Accelerate, DevOps Handbook, etc.
This model was created Dr. Ron Westrum, a widely-cited sociologist who studied the impact of culture on safety
Thanks to Dr. @nicolefv, I was able to interview him for an upcoming episode of the Idealcast! 🤯
It was a very heady experience, and while preparing to interview him, I was startled to discover how much work he's done in healthcare, aviation, spaceflight, but also innovation.
I've read 4+ of his papers, so I thought I was familiar with his work. (Here's one paper: https://t.co/7X00O67VgS)
I was startled to learn he has also studied in depth what enables innovation. He wrote a wonderful book "Sidewinder: Creative Missile Development at China Lake"
Dr. Westrum writes about China Lake Research Labs: "its design and structure had one purpose: to foster technical creativity. It did; China Lake operated far outside the normal envelope... Sidewinder & others were "impossible" accomplishments,
I love this book because it describes traits of organizations that routinely create and maintain greatness: US space program (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo), US Naval Reactors, Toyota, Team of Teams, Tesla, the tech giants (Amazon, Google, Netflix, Google)

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
