As far as charts are considered, I do not look for Volume Interpretation when we are in a sideways channel. But once we are out of channel, I do give it importance.
Reason: Any symbol follows general rule of market. Trend>Accumulation/Distribution>Trend.
1/n
Now, this may vary from time frame to time frame and may have different interpretation when combining lower and bigger time frames. Once I spot a channel, volume and its interpretation inside it is irrelevant. Only the breakout.
2/n
Over period I have observed that a good sideways channel is with 50 to 60 plus bars with support and resistance break test of at least 3 times. Between that multiple tests will be done for a shakeout to either side. In rare cases we have V shaped or n-down movements.
3/n
For that extra ordinary case, we have stop-loss or adjustment methods. But this is the rule I follow. This may not be relevant to all. Open for discussion and improvements.

#Nifty volumes were pretty low on current futures but COI buildup is 3 lakh contracts. Consolidation underway. 78 Lakh contracts added on calls vs 44 lakh on put side. Still level 4 bullish on option chain. Given monthly expiry, one needs to be cautious. 1/n
@rohit_katwal I am holding 12000 Iron Fly. Will hold it if we are sideways and by end of day will square it off. If no direction then will take directional view on Tuesday.
If we go below below spot 11908, I will exit Iron Fly and hold Bear Call Spread.
2/n
@rohit_katwal If worst case scenario of opening at 11850 or below, will square off the losing put side which by virtue of theta decay will not give adverse loss as bear call spread is also there. Looking at SGX closing, it might not happen.

Why do only small traders lose money in the stock market instead of big traders?
Because of following reasons: 1. Under Capitalized 2. Compounding Returns 3. Seeking Paid Tips 4. Search for a Holy Grail 5. Not Understanding Reward:Risk and Probabilities #TradingQNA#Nifty

@rohit_katwal A good friend of mine wanted to trade in the markets for extra income. I am not against the idea. I tried putting him on the right track. I gave some basic trading books. I warned against leverage. I warned against paid advisory tips.

@rohit_katwal I warned against trading with little capital. I tried to make him understand that it is a game of probability & risk management.
He started with Rs. 20,000/-. His idea was to make Rs. 500+ per day to call it a day. After 1 month, he had lost complete sum.

In Part 1 we understood Intrinsic/Extrinsic Value, Theta Decay and IV.
Now we need to understand another aspect of IV. Volatility is mean reverting. It means if Volatility is high, it tends..

@rohit_katwal to decline and if Volatility is low, it tends to rise. So when deciding on Option Strategy we should consider IV. If it is low, we should buy debit spreads so that we benefit from rise in IV. If IV is high, we should sell credit spreads so that we benefit from...2/n
@rohit_katwal fall in volatility. Lets look at IV or Nifty and Bank Nifty in the given image it is: 18 and 29 respectively. Now how do we decide which IV is low or which is high? I prefer to use IV Rank method for it.

Q. What are some basic points that we must know before going for options trading?
Here are few pointers before you start option trading: - 1. Option Trading is a game of probabilities and money management.
...1/n
@rohit_katwal 2. There is no such thing as unlimited profit and unlimited risk in option trading. Unlimited profit is same as hitting a lottery and we all know what happens to lottery buyers. There is no unlimited risk if you know what you are doing.
...2/n
@rohit_katwal 3. Buy Calls when bullish. Sell Calls when bearish. 4. Buy Puts when bearish. Sell puts when bullish. 5. Either put a SL to your trade or do a 100% hedge for risk-management. 6. Hedging is used to save your self from potential losses. Learn it.

On 25 Sep we had first short covering on #Nifty and since then its long buildup everyday. Till now approx 34 lakh in COI Buildup. During selloff, we had long unwinding till the lowest point. Its starting to buildup again and rally can lead to 12000+ the way it is going. 1/n
On Option Chain, we are Level 4 Bullish on weekly and monthly options with bullish PCR's. if 11700 breaks we MAY get into a base formation before a next leg up till 11500 levels. Close action at previous top of 11793 is needed. 2/n
#BankNifty is still sideways and 23000 is a crucial watch point on weekly and monthly options. Below 22500 I will trade with sideways bias for some time. Lets c how tomorrow pans out. 3/3
