What is the best #PaperTrading app for Indian Stock Market including OptionsTrading?
Stop Looking for an app for everything. There is stuff that you need to do in a simple way. All you need is a Microsoft Excel & Trading Account.
#Nifty #BankNifty
1/n...
@rohit_katwal ...The fact that you are looking for an app shows you are looking for a quick fix. Paper trading is not a 3 or 4 days work. It takes years to develop profitable attitude to markets.

I started paper trading in 2012 before I blew my account several times. 2/n...
@rohit_katwal ...This is a glimpse of my paper trading back in 2012. You can see that I did it at end of the day after job. Let me assure you that this went on till 2017 March. Day in Day out until I developed an attitude for trading. 3/n...
@rohit_katwal ...Did you notice that I did it every day? I had to record every stoploss. Every target. And if my strategy was not working then why it wasn't working and I had to start from a scratch on some new theory. Analysing data for what is working and what is not. 4/n...
@rohit_katwal ...Am I hitting too many stop losses, or my targets are low? Is it right sticking to a loss or sticking to profit? Should I exit mid-way or not? What kind of trading suits my needs? All of this after 5 years of paper trading & doing job side by side. 5/n...
@rohit_katwal ...And then I finally understood what was required.

Now I am not saying that you will have to do the same or devote same time. There are many intelligent people who have achieved their paper trading goals in lesser time frame. 6/n...
@rohit_katwal ...But it needs patience. To see theories, fail and evolve. By asking that there is some app for it, you are going in all wrong. There are tools available these days to back test your strategies. 7/n...
...But it cannot train your mind to survive the psychological grind that is associated with trading. So all you need is microsoft excel, trading account, theory and commitment to work on it everyday tilly you find your holy grail of trading. 8/n...
...PS - For me it is: 1. Risk Management, & 2. Position Sizing Happy Trading. End of Thread.

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!

Attack on Police Station by mob has me worried since last few day. Morning I read the news of attack on #Punjab Police by extremists.
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigar…

Do watch.

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.

When price is at all-time-high, retailers want to sell. When price is at all-time -ow, retailers want to buy.

This is where they fall into a trap.

"Upar chala gaya hai aur kitna upar jayega"
"Niche gir gaya hai aur kitna girega"

Do yourself a favour and follow these steps...+ Image
Put an Alligator on at least 1HR time Frame. If

1. Low of Candle is above Alligator Lips, price is bullish
2. High of Candle is below Alligator Highs, price is bearish

Check example of HUL and BANDHANBNK...+ ImageImage
Understand a little price action. If
3. Price is in upper right corner, it is bullish.
4. Price is in bottom right corner, it is bearish.

Consider example of TATAMOTORS and BATAINDIA. So if you are new to the market, follow market and not what you think "mujhe lagta hai"...+ ImageImage

Thread on #OptionBasics for #Nifty #BankNifty or #Stocks for beginners

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.

208.40 is time value.
