#Quora Question - What is the best “I QUIT” moment you have ever witnessed an employee do?
I along with my assistant resigned in the best way I remember. It is no secret that I lost heavily in #Nifty#BankNifty and futures in whole during 2009. I decided to do MBA in finance 1/n
Like that would have helped. By the time I completed MBA, I was broke. In the hopes of a good job and having faced life realities, I did my MBA with utmost sincerity. Up for marketing jobs. Best in communication skills. Ready to relocate and learn new things. I was placed at 2/n
A package of 18 lakh per annum in a Singapore based company. It was huge for me. Suddenly dreams coming true. Turned out, this was a period of fake placements in Punjab. It turned out to be a fake placement. College management realized their mistake and tried to placate me. 3/n
They offered me a meagre package of 3.6 lpa in marketing. I had to take it as it was best available. Being placed at 18 lpa, I was not allowed to take part in interview of other companies. I tried working smart and hard, but when you work for companies run by lala's 4/n
And no professionalism, you get fake promises. I kept slogging at 30k per month which was 3 months delayed and also kept #BackTesting in #OptionsTrading. For 4+ years I kept asking for promotions but always the fake promises. In Feb 2017, me and my assistant were sitting 5/n
And casually talking with one of our colleague.
He said - Sir, Lets Resign.
I said - Okay
We wrote our resignation with 3 month notice period and immediately sent it. Our colleague thought it was a PJ for next hour or so when finally our immediate boss gave us a call. 6/n
After that we strolled in campus, worry free for the day. We were finally free from god forsaken job.
Next day my wife also resigned as a teacher from the college. I took a leave next day and started visiting banks for a loan to raise money for trading. 7/n
It took me 15 to 20 days to arrange money. Another 25 days when my college itself released me from service. I never looked back to that place ever since. Rest is history. Now #OptionsTrading is my sole bread and butter.
When I look back, this was the best resignation ever.

Going forward, I am extremely cautious on BANKNIFTY.
I really was rooting for BANKNFITY to be bullish in coming days. Break of 39700 will take BANKNIFTY towards 37500 levels.
This is 1 Month Chart of BANKNIFTY. Break of 39700 (Support) will push prices further down.
On Daily Charts, we are standing at a support and gave a dead cat bounce. COI did not recede from this point but as you can see there has been continuous selling. At support, either this gives a bounce or indicative of incoming sell off.
MACD and ADX on Hourly Chart at support are getting sideways. Not bullish but just sideways.
Below 0 Line, MACD bullish is still a sideways market. ADX receding from 40-50 level below its EMA again a sideways sign.
At support, I will create positions will slight caution!
And yes, I am rightly worried. Its a neighbouring state.
This has been happening for past few months now. My immediate question was, what is the central government doing? I have no expectations from AAP. Or uprising of people of Punjab against such elements, as people themselves chose AAP. Many I talked with are regretting it now.
Today AAP might be the biggest threat to National Security. With Jammu and Kashmir stabilized, AAP might open a new frontier for Indian Government.
But no news media is showing this. Or Algorithms are not even picking it up. Why? Vested interest? But again back to question 1...
William's Alligator is probably the most underrated indicator in moving average category.
Alligator follows the premise that market is sideways for 70% of the time and trending only 30% of the time.
This is where William's Alligator can be a great tool for traders.
Why William's Alligator can be a great tool for traders?
It can identify Bullish, Bearish and Sideways market pretty easily. Problem is, traders don't know how to use it effectively. Alligator has three lines:
1. Lips - Fastest Line 2. Teeth 3. Jaws - Slowest Line
Book Interpretation is when Lips Crosses above Jaws, it's a buying opportunity and when below its a shorting opportunity. And when three lines are crisscrossing, instrument is sideways.
BUT this does not make it a tradeable indicator in practice. Here is what should be done.
I have no sympathies for #Scammers who were duping people with lakhs and crores of screenshots.
At first, I along with friends of mine were in awe of how they were generating this much return. For almost, 2 years I worked a lot and tried to break the code.
Do read and retweet.
A lot of ideas were worked upon on Amibroker may it be ITM Selling of Option, Option Doublers in 2 - 3 days, Intraday Option Buying, Future Holygrail and what not. In the process we were able to make Option Chain on Amibroker, calculate option greeks on Amibroker and what not.
But no definite system was built.
If we cracked up Option Buying or burst moves, it was difficult to ascertain position-sizing. For eg. position sizing average size, doesn't make the profit so lucrative. And if the position-size is big, loss could be 70% in 3 trades.
To understand options, three concepts are required: 1. Intrinsic / Extrinsic value 2. Time / Theta Decay 3. Implied Volatility
Option Value = Intrinsic + Extrinsic (Value)
Intrinsic Value - Value of Option if it were exercised today at CMP.
Extrinsic Value - Total Value of time in the option.
ATM and OTM options are 100% extrinsic value. ITM options have more intrinsic and less extrinsic value.
ITM Options: Intrinsic Value = Price of Underlying Asset -
Strike Price
For eg.
Nifty is at 11,416. 11400 CE of 29 Oct 2020 is at 224.40/-.
Intrinsic Value is = 11416-11400 = 16
Extrinsic Value is = 224.40-16 = 208.40.
