Thread on Short straddle with adjustments:

Short straddle is non-directional strategy

Selling same strike price CALL/PUT option same underlying with same expiry.

Nifty Spot at 14353, So you can sell 14350 CE as well 14350 PE of 14 Jan. Expiry.

*RETWEET for max response

Bullish short straddle: Selling 14400 CE and 14400 PE of same expiry.

Bearish short straddle: Selling 14250 CE and 14250 PE of same expiry.

You can sell straddle as per your market view.

If you are natural view sell CE and PE at ATM strike.

Short straddle has limited profit potential (only premium) and unlimited risk without adjustment.

In Example, Short straddle of 14350, Breakeven is (14131.0-14569.0), need 1.7Lac Margin to sell straddle.
Maximum profit: 16k and Loss: Unlimited, Winning probability: 50%

(3/n)
If market staying near at 14350 then win. Probability increase slowly. Rewards also increase slowly.

Volatility(IV) is also play important role in selling straddle, Like If IV increase so straddle premium increase and IV cool off so premium casually comes down.

Short straddle adjustment:
https://t.co/59Lr64kEtK way to limit the overnight risk.
Convert short straddle in Ironfly, its nothing we have to add long strangle in short straddle it become Ironfly. It gives the good Risk Rewards.

(5/n)
Reduce winning probability and reduce the margin approximately (1/3 of straddle)

See the Pay-off. The iron has a less profit than naked short straddle but limited the Risk is good in trading.

2.Rather than buying both leg, you can buy only one leg (directional side).

Its called partially or broken iron-fly. Ex. Friday you do 14350 short straddle and Monday market looks bullish so you can buy only 14550 CE only .

(7/n)
3.Adjust straddle with Delta or premium based, if market moving in one direction so you can adjust the delta of strike. Eg. If your straddle of 14350, Underlying moving at 14440 on Monday so CE delta increase and PUT delta decrease but after some time market move in
(8/n)
uptrend CE delta increase in same speed but PE has vey less delta so you have to adjust the position. Roll up PE at 14450, So your new position delta is comes down, Mostly I recommend the adjustment if any premium loss 50% then you have to adjust that side.
(9/n)
You can adjust your position with delta as well same time you can create debit spread. Ex. Your straddle at 14350 and market reach at 14450. So first you adjust with delta and after open debit CE spread like buy 14500 CE and sell 14600 CE, (it’s not full proof adjustment)
(10/n)
but you get enough time to adjust your trade.

5.Convert straddle into Inverted strangle, it’s only recommended near to expiry. In our weekly we can covert only Wednesday and Thursday.

6. Adjust straddle with straddle but its need very high skill (never recom.)

Guys,
Today I am sharing how I will filter out the stock for intraday trade,

This strategy is called "NR21-VWAP" trading,

For filtering the stock I will use NR21 + Inside bar theory (its a very old but popular theory),

Filtering stock used below screener end of the day
(1/n)

Screener
https://t.co/SSPkYEoFMP

You have to do homework at the end of the day, Run the screener and List out the stock in this screener, hardly 3-4 stock in the list,

Next day trading, Just open chart 15 min TF,
Add VWAP and Volume indicator in Chart,

(2/n)

Buy setup:
If stock price move above VWAP and with high volume then trade activated above VWAP,

SL is trade trigger candle Low,
Sell Setup:
price move below VWAP with volume than trade activated.
SL is high of that candle
(3/n)

Volume indicator,

Open the chart and see the volume of last ten to fifteen 15 Min TF candle volume compare with a current candle if the volume is more than triple then our trade is right,

(4/n)

Eg. Yesterday filtered stock attached,

See the example of BERGEPAINT,

Trade activated at 532.27 and SL 527, Closing price 555

Profit booking criteria, I believe in 1:2 RR, if 5 point SL then I will book 10 point profit,

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
