Initial buy SL was on 28700 PE above Vwap (95) and sl on 30300 CE around 30 (day high)
Put buy SL above vwap or day high(on otm strikes based on net credit recieved)
Make sure you have net credit even after buy sl is triggered
(2)
3) So in non-directional trading create positions as per view and always keep buy stops in otm wings to protect yourself from any big move.
Otm stops also helps in saving slippages.
4) That’s how I trade the index everyday.
-Create skewed positions as per view
-Keep buy otm stops to protect from any big moves
-Stay in the trade until sl is hit or mtm loss increase(>1% of capital)
Will keep sharing more insights on how to trade non-directional.
Goodluck !

How to manage strangles dynamically incase of a violent move or IV spike ?
1) Yesterday and infact entire last week if you had created strangles you would have experienced that during upmove only call side were increasing but puts weren’t decaying.
2)In morning I had created a short strangle
200 lots 25000 PE sell at 102
200 lots 27000 CE sell at 161
You can sell from below image that if I had waited in this strangle till day end I would have lost around -4.5 L
So lets see what all adjustments did I do logically.
3)After creating strangles the premiums strarted increasing as puts were not decaying and calls were increasing.
So I had kept 100 lots buy on 26500 CE at 400(day high)
My buy got executed at 400 around 12:15 pm & I exited 25000 PE at 75
Importance of Risk Management
(Real Life Examples)
1) On 21st Sept 2018, I had sold 330 PE overnight and YesBank opened 10% lower and closed the day at -33%. But I survived as I bought 320 put as protection.
If I had not bought 320 PE then would have lost 10 L
Thread on system trading and conviction to follow them.
1) On Aug 2016, I had my highest ever loss of 18 L due to illiquidty risk. I had shorted JustDial 500 CE and was in profit at 3.19 pm but at 3.20 pm lost -18 L due to a risk I wasn’t aware at that time.
2) I had huge qty in Just Dial CE but as my position was huge and Just Dial being an illiquid script. My position got squared from 0 to 10 Rs. I was in 1.3 L profit at 3.19 & 3:20 -18 L.
Lost almost 20 L in a min
Check my email to Zerodha and their reply to understand more.
3) I was totally upset as I never thought that I could lose so much due to illiquidity.
There was nothing wrong with system or risk management but this was a risk which I was never aware.
This made me believe in risk management ever then before.
