Traders often overlook the SHORT STRADDLE due to its simplicity.

It remains the TOP strategy to make money when the market is not trending.

Here's how you can make money using only the short straddle
in various market conditions

⬇️ A comprehensive thread🧵

A short straddle is the most basic neutral options strategy.

Where a call option and a put option are sold at the same strike price.

Max profit = Total premium received ( call leg + put leg )

Max risk = Unlimited

(using SLs would be wise)

Upper breakeven = Strike price + Total Premium received

Lower breakeven = Strike price - Total Premium received

Essentially short straddles are initiated when the trader is confident about the market staying in a certain range (between the breakevens of the straddle)

Long-term short straddles usually require fewer adjustments since the range is wide.

Since unlimited loss is a component of the strategy, the trader has to adjust the strategy to increase profit/ mitigating risk

Technical Analysis and 3 Strategies to deploy for Aggressive, Moderate, and Conservative Traders.

🧵 Weekly Bank Nifty Analysis for 8th December Expiry:

To form a view, let's have a look at:

1. Multi-timeframe Technical Analysis
2. Option Chain Data

Also, 3 strategies to deploy for:

1. Aggressive Traders (2.6%)
2. Moderate Risk Traders (1.3%)
3. Low-Risk Traders (0.8%)

1. Technicals

Let's start by doing some basic technical analysis.

We'll look at:

• Weekly charts.
• Daily charts.
• Hourly / 60 min charts.
• 15 min charts.

1. Weekly-

• The market has given 4 continuous green closes, so not expecting a big momentum on upside.

• This week my view is that it can take a pause.

• Longer term trend is super bullish.

• Any dip will towards 41800 will be a retest, and should be used to go long.

2. Daily:

• Candlestick pattern—Hanging Man

• Chart Pattern—Breakout Failure

• A pin bar candle is very powerful but only after a downmove.

• Here it forms near the top of upmove.

• Means some sellers are present. Below 43000 can sell calls above 43600 for the week.

Most of the successful traders here are option sellers.

Ever wondered why?

Why we have chosen option selling?

Find our below

1: Being wrong and still making money.

We as option sellers can be wrong with our market view and still end up making money because of the power of theta decay and adjustments to some extent.

Adjustments work better as get closer to expiry since decay is the highest.

2: Theta decay

The biggest reason and one of the prime reasons is the theta decay.

Option sellers always have an advantage because the as time passes, the option premium falls even if the underlying instrument doesn't move.

3:Playing directional view

Option selling also enables us to take a directional view. In fact, directional view along with theta decay makes it a solid combination.

Debit spreads and credit spreads works great for a directional view.

4: Playing Neutral view

We can make money in option selling even if the market doesn't move as the otm options will go to 0 with the help of theta decay. It's the most fascinating thing.

This is what attracted many into option selling.

Over the last 18 months, I have scaled my income to around ₹10,00,000 or 10 lakhs per week with drawdowns below 10%.

How?

@niki_poojary taught me how to form a weekly trading plan.

I'm going to share what I've learned in this thread.

Here's the simple 10 step process: 🧵

1. Check on the daily chart if Bank Nifty is in a higher high or lower low:

A higher-high (HH) is a bullish pattern, it signifies that it is difficult for the market to go down.

If that has formed on the daily chart, the market will give all the surprises on the upside.

If the market is in a higher high mode, look for good opportunities to sell puts.

Usually, at a higher high, traders buy on breakouts and also buy the dips.

If you want a good Risk-Reward, you can sell puts on a dip. (Only if it's showing some reversal)

2. Take High Probability Trades

Simply knowing a higher high or lower low does not make money. It gives you a bias for the week.

Still, you should try to take higher probability trades that align with your view of the market.

This will get you consistency and a good mindset.

3. Support & Resistance

I would say Support Resistance is the most important and favorite thing for @niki_poojary.

She keeps updating these levels with charts on her Twitter handle during live markets daily.

Attaching some examples will do a detailed thread on this later.

Price + Open Interest (OI) + Volume = Deadly Combo

There are many tools for Open Interest. Options Decoder from @TrueData2 is one of the simple yet powerful tools on options and OI.

Below are the 10 Powerful Features of Options Decoder

Thread 🧵🧵

(1/N)

#1 - PE CE Difference

This feature combines the OI of call options and put options and plots against each other.

At one glance, we can know what big players are doing!

(If they are selling more CE means, they are bearish on the underlying instrument)

(2/N)

#2 - Advance/Decline

This feature displays all the F&O stocks in one place.

In one click, we can see the stocks in any order (like an increase in price, increase in OI, or decrease in volume, etc).

A highly useful feature for options traders!

(3/N)

#3 - Open High

This feature displays all the strike prices that have an open high (or open low) for the selected instrument.

If many CE strikes show "Open Low", then the market is bullish!

(4/N)

#4 - IV Price-OI Chart

This feature plots CE and PE vs. Open Interest (OI) for the ATM strike price.

Always Remember:

CE Long Build Up + PE Short Build Up = BULLISH

PE Long Build Up + CE Short Build Up = BEARISH

CE Short Build Up + PE Short Build Up = SIDEWAYS

Learn these 12 rules in your 20s to become a millionaire in your 30s:

1. Grow wealth, not social status

Being wealthy isn't about how much you spend.

It means owning assets that generate passive income.

Forget about "keeping up with the Joneses" if you want to become a millionaire.

2. Allocate income consistently

50/30/20 is the commonly recommended ratio for splitting your income:

▪ 50% - needs
▪ 30% - wants
▪ 20% - investments

To become a millionaire sooner, adjust the ratio: allocate more to “investments” and spend less on “wants.”

3. Avoid credit card debt (and other debt traps)

Interest charges and fees from buying on credit inflate costs, using up money you could invest instead.

If you use a credit card, keep a zero monthly balance.

4. Pay Yourself First

Sometimes we lose focus, overspend, and have nothing left for saving or investing.

“Pay yourself first” means deducting savings and investments from your income first, and only spending the remaining amount.

Discipline is crucial.

I became a millionaire at 48...

If I had to start again, I would read these 10 books, in this order, to get there 10 years sooner:

1. The Millionaire Next Door, by Stanley & Danko

What you'll learn:

• >80% of millionaires are self-made
• Focus on building wealth, not social status

2. The Psychology of Money, by Morgan Housel

What you'll learn:

• The way you think about money determines your wealth
• Doing well with money results from your behavior

3. The Laws of Human Nature, by Robert Greene

What you'll learn:

• People are superficial and react emotionally
• How to become a calmer, more strategic observer of people

4. Personality Isn't Permanent, by Benjamin Hardy

What you'll learn:

• Personality isn’t something you’re born with
• You can change how you behave and, therefore, your personality

Ray Dalio understands the macro environment as well as anyone.

While most investment managers were down big during the Great Financial Crisis, Dalio’s fund was up 8.7% in 2008.

Here is how Dalio views our global economy today:

In order to prepare for the future, it’s important to study history and see how things have played out in the past.

In his book, Big Debt Crises, Dalio studied more than 48 debt crises that have occurred throughout history.

Our global economy from a high level is driven by three things:

• Productivity Growth
• The Short-Term Debt Cycle
• The Long-Term Debt Cycle

In the long run, the economy is primarily driven by productivity

In the short run, the economy is primarily driven by credit and debt

According to Dalio, credit is the most important part of the economy and the least understood.

Dalio defines credit as the giving of buying power.

The buying power is given to the borrower in exchange for a promise to pay it back, which is debt.

Credit can be a good thing because we can purchase something today that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

It’s especially good when credit is used by individuals and businesses to expand the production of the overall economy.

I scaled my last SaaS startup to $2M/yr in <18 months with 0 paid ads.

Steal the 6 step blueprint I used:

Many startups over-rely on paid advertising.

I can tell you 1st hand, this is risky.

• Platform policies change
• Costs increase overnight
• Your audience gets ad fatigue

Which is why, you should consider organic marketing…

Organic marketing attracts customers...

But in a different way.

Paid ads = lead generation
Organic marketing = lead nurturing

You nurture people from social media followers,

Into community leaders, brand ambassadors, and loyal customers.

These 6 steps will show you how:

1) Create consistently

Organic marketing starts with consistency.

• Post daily
• Test ideas

Do your best to provide content your audience finds valuable.

And make sure it feels native to each platform.

At this point, your focus is daily action, not performance.

2) Leverage analytics

Leverage analytics to see what’s working.

Recommended metrics to measure:

• Likes
• Shares
• Profile visits
• Followers/ subs

Here’s what each will tell you…

A lot of Machine Learning (ML) I learned during my Ph.D. was from youtube. I didn't have a guide to do this effectively and thus here it is:

A complete guide to studying ML from youtube: 13 best and most recent ML courses available on YouTube. 👩‍🏫🧵⤵️

We will start with "Stanford CS229: Machine Learning" by Andrew Ng to start and learn the following ML concepts:

Linear & Logistic Regression,
Naive Bayes, SVMs, Kernels
Decision Trees, Introduction to Neural Networks
Debugging ML

A series of mini-lectures (~5 mins) covering various introductory topics in ML by Cassie Kozyrkov, covering:

Explainability in AI, Precession vs. Recall, Statistical Significance, Clustering and K-means, and finally, Ensemble models.

Beyond an AI genius, Andrej Karpathy is a brilliant teacher. His creative teaching methods make this intro to Neural Networks (NN): Zero to Hero makes one of the best ways to get introduced to NN.

"MIT: Deep Learning for Art, Aesthetics, and Creativity " covers the application of deep learning for art, aesthetics, and creativity, including Neural Abstractions, Efficient GANs, and explorations in AI for Creativity.

Today, my little one-person business crossed $3M in revenue.

It took 1,187 days, I ran zero ads & operate at a 94% margin.

Here are the 20 steps of my wild & strange journey:

Hope it's helpful to someone.

[🧵 thread]

1/ Created lots of noise

When I was just getting started, I looked at attention as my friend.

I wrote content every day before I even had a business, just to find my voice.

I started on LinkedIn.

I shared my thoughts & observations about building a SaaS unicorn as the CRO.

2/ Honed in on signals

Inside all of that noise was some signals.

Sometimes I bombed, and sometimes I struck a chord.

The more I looked at what resonated, the more I doubled down.

This allowed me to understand what people cared about.

So, I kept writing & talking about it.

3/ Built a service business

My experience building SaaS was resonating. So I began creating more and more content about that.

Founders sent me DMs asking questions.

I responded to every single one.

Once I had prospects in my funnel, I started consulting.

4/ Found my ideal customers

Inside your customer base is more signals.

What are the commonalities between the customers you love & those who love you?

Mine were early-stage SMB SaaS in the healthcare space. A space I was experienced in & loved.

That became my ideal customer.

We've been told having a job is safer than entrepreneurship.

But that's a lie.

10 reasons to bet on yourself:

More value capture:

As an employee or an owner, income is a function of value creation.

The only difference?

Some (or most) of an employee's value flows upstream to ownership.

Owners capture ALL of the value they create, and even more from their team's output.

Income diversification:

Entrepreneurs spread income across several accounts/business units, acting as insurance against total income loss.

Employees have a single income source AND are exposed to factors out of their control:

- economy
- corporate pivots
- budgets

Low downside:

In the past you needed an investment or debt to start a business.

In 2022 you need an internet connection, creativity, and consistent effort.

EX: you can start a 7-figure agency business (65%+ margins) for a few hundred dollars per month in software fees.

Time freedom:

Successful entrepreneurs use leverage (labor, capital, technology, audience) to disassociate their time with income.

Employees are required to be present in-person or on calls/video, making it hard to use leverage to get more done with less time.
