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.
