This is the most important concept which made me great money in 2022.

This is the skill which is GUARANTEED to make you a better trader

 Banknifty moves in 2 phases.

1: Consolidation
2: Trends

An understanding of both of these phases will take your trading to the next level.
Let's start with consolidation phase

It looks like this when Banknifty is stuck inside a range.
This is phase when you shouldn't be taking directional trades.

As market is mostly choppy and is good for mean reversion scalpers.

An option seller can initiate neutral strategies under such an environment.
Trending phase will look something like this

The price action is quick and furious at this time.

As you can see after a consolidation there is a strong breakdown.
This is not the time to go for neutral strategies, rather use directional strategies.
So how these learnings helps you?

It's helps you in maximizing your gains
If you know the market is trending then you can stay away from neutral strategies and only play directional and vice versa.
Knowing when to use which strategy is extremely important for becoming a successful trader.

JESSE LIVERMORE is considered the greatest trader of all time.

He was the richest person in the world during his time.

I've read majority of his books and picked out learnings which are relevant even today with examples of the current scenario.


1: Remember that stocks are never too high for you to begin buying or too low to begin selling.

This principle still holds true today in trading, especially trend following.

Most people think if a stock has run up too much, then it's price is high and it will reverse.

But a trader should always be on the right side of a trend.

For eg: Asianpaints has been making new highs constantly, the major money would've been by the people who were on the right side of the trend i.e long.


Never buy it just because it has fallen too much. Instead short it and make money.

2: “Being a little late in a trade is insurance that your opinion is correct.”

It's okay to enter in a trade after you have received confirmation from the market.

Trading after confirmation will make your sacrifice your profits but it will also protect you against the loss

HOW TO DO SHORT STRANGLES TO MAKE 1% WEEKLY INCOME CONSISTENTLY?

I've made majority of my money by short strangles and I'll explain one very easy short strangle strategy which you guys can follow.

I'll also explain the adjustments and risk management.

1: What days it should be done?

It has to be done on Monday to thursday.

You can skip Fridays as there's negligible decay and big delta moves.

2: Preferred Instrument:

Banknifty will be the preferred instrument, since it's high risk and high reward.

Moreover it has good premiums.

3: Criteria:

It has to be done when Banknifty is inside a range on the 15 min chart.

As we can see here, it was June 6th Monday and Banknifty was in a perfect range, which makes it ideal for short strangles.


4: Positon sizing:

Although we'll hedge our positions but you strictly don't have to use the margin benefit which you will receive.

Ideal qty which be 6 lots on each side on a 10L rs capital and 3 lots on 5L capital

MY TOP 10 POINTS TO BECOME A BETTER TRADER

A Thread🧵

Listing down some of my top learnings which has helped me improve my trading to a great extent and will help you too.

1: Always stay on the right side on trend.

The biggest money is made by being with the trend, not against it.

Traders who made it big were always trend followers.

2: Don't ever underestimate risk.

Big losses usually happens when a trader ignores risk management when he's on a winning streak.

Overconfidence usually leads to poor risk management which ultimately causes destruction.

3: Taking Risk on Profits made:

A trader should always take high risk trades on the profit which he has already made and not on his principal.

It's much easier to take risks on the profits than taking risk on principal capital and losing it.

4: Patience

Success in trading comes with patience. One should be willing to wait atleast 2 years before giving up trading.

You drastically improve your odds of success even if you just survive for a couple of years without losing much money.

"A trend once established, is more likely to continue than it is to reverse"

A thread on Trend (Market structure)-


A trend is a path of least resistance, basically the side where the smart money is betting upon.

And our work is to be on their side, to make some money.

Why do we use trend?

In an uptrend, the sum of the rallies will always be greater than the sum of the declines.

In a downtrend, the sum of the declines will always be greater than the sum of the rallies.

How to Find the trend?

There are 3 methods which one can use-

1. Swing points method.
2. Moving averages.
3. Trend lines, channels.

1. Trend identification by using swing points-

• UPTREND in simple words - Higher highs, higher lows

• DOWNTREND in simple words - lower lows, lower highs.


• Flat trend - The price stays in a range

So what will be the aftermath of this GME event?

These are simply my guesses, I don't actually know.

Wallstreet will likely push for licenses being necessary to trade, or put more limits on how many trades you can make, or some other way to screw the average person trading. 1/

FYI, you can only make 4 trades in a day, but if you have more than $25,000 in your account you can make as many as you want.

The system is rigged against the poor, and weighted heavily in favour of the rich. 2/

Will the government shut down the market?

It's possible, but I doubt it.
It would open up new precedents and the optics would be terrible- i.e. shutting down the market because greedy hedgefunds fucked up, and normal people are taking them to the cleaners. 3/

If the government gives in to Wallstreet, they lose all credibility, because this story is basically David vs Goliath, where the Reddit guys are the good guys, and the hedgefunds are the bad guys.

4/

Likely they will implement similar rules to Europe, that stops naked short selling.

Anything more than that, I'm not sure.
I think the media will push the threat of the government shutting down trading, in order to scare people into selling, to give short sellers a way out. 5/

Introduction to imbalance charts (orderflow trading):

A 🧵

(1/n)

Orderflow charts essentially show the real time buying and selling happening in the markets.

In below chart, you can see how market sell orders are shown to the bid side and market buy orders are shown to the ask side.

(2/n)


Using this, one can identify big buying and selling happening at various prices.

Imbalance charts takes this one step forward. How so? Read on to find out.

(3/n)

Imbalance charts shows buying and selling imbalances at various price points. How does it matter?

Imbalance here implies to what extent is buying more than selling and vice versa.

(4/n)

Why is that important? As a trader, if we know that buying at a particular level is x times more than selling or vice versa, it would help us understand the strength of supply or demand coming into the market.

THE BATTLE OF TALIKOTA and the destruction of Vijaynagar (Hampi)
26 January 1565

A tale of valor, deception and decimation.

A grim reminder that if we fail to protect our heritage, it will eventually crumble under the onslaught of "forces of anarchy".
(Elaborate thread)


This decisive battle was fought between the Vijayanagara empire and the Deccan sultanates resulting in a rout of Vijayanagara and ending the last major medieval era Hindu kingdom in south India.(1)

The seeds of 1565 encounter were sown more than 250 years earlier when the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, during the time of Alauddin Khilji and later Md Bin Tughlaq swept through southern India in an expansion spree.(2)

By middle of the 14th century, facing rebellions, Tughlaq withdrew to Delhi, leaving behind 2 empires, Bahmani, which ruled the Deccan from Kalaburagi, and Vijayanagara, which ruled most south India with its capital at Vijayanagar.(3)

The Raichur Doab, between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, existed as a natural boundary between these two kingdoms, with wars often breaking out over control of this territory.(4)

We should stop confusing what someone was doing when we became aware of them with all they are capable of, interested in, or ever hope to be

Let folks have their many talents, interests and gifts. Life is far more fun with variety, loves.

A lot of folks have come to know me as an activist & I’m grateful that folks care to know me at all.

But I wasn’t born in 2014. I was a whole teacher, executive, policy person, speaker, arts and culture lover, reader, writer, woman of faith, fashion and more before 4 yrs ago 🤷🏾‍♀️

We rightfully complain that marginalized people are not allowed to be fully human.

But we internalize and transfer our oppression daily. It’s a smog. We all breathe it in & act it out.

And then tell WoC “girl ain’t you supposed to be a _______? Why you doing ____?”

Can I live?

And don’t go reading anything personal into this-this isn’t about me necessarily and it’s no subtweet (I try hard not to do that.)

I’ve just been observing that behavior more and more lately. Especially when it comes to marginalized folks.

Evolution should be our aspiration.

“Can’t knock the hustle” should be our anthem.

As long as someone isn’t bringing active and continual harm, why can’t they explore their many sides?

So here is a secret: Not everything I write goes anywhere. I have at least 4 books completely written and edited that never went on submission. I have books that stalled out at 20k. I have docs on my computer with opening paragraphs I don't remember writing. But! 1/

Every now and then an idea sticks with me like that corner of tortilla chip that just won't go down your throat. It happened with SPARROWHAWK, which began as 40k of a YA story, died, and was reborn as a comic, thanks to @christopher_j_r and @boomstudios. And now... 2/

It's happening with THE WILLOWS, a short story that you'll see in @UncannyMagazine next year. This Southern Gothic horror story began as an attempt to sell my next Romance to @AbZurdity after the Blud books in 2014 or so. And she didn't buy it. Guess why? 3/

Turns out, it wasn't a Romance! It was Southern Gothic Horror. Even the bones of it screamed strangeness, not sexiness. I loved the taste of the world, but I hadn't found the right story yet. Tried to write it 2 more times and failed. Until I finally understood what it was. 4/

So I took the 50 pages I'd written and cut half of them, twisting the story around from a gothy Romance inspired by the band the Civil Wars and turned it into a spooky descent into madness. And it looked back at me from the abyss as if to say, DUH. Sometimes... 5/

THREAD: 15 of the most useful razors and rules I've found.

Rules of thumb that simplify decisions.

Bezos' Razors:

• If unsure what action to take, let your 80-year-old self make it.

• If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

Skinner's Law:

• If procrastinating on an item, you only have 2 options:

1. Make the pain of not doing it greater than the pain of doing it.

2. Make the pleasure of doing it greater than the pleasure of not doing it.

Luck Razor:

• If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix.

In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

Bragging Razor:

• If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim.

• If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim.

The map is not the terrain.
