In Paytm Spaces, following points came up for discussion. Here are my two cents on questions for budding traders.
Basic questions asked were about the trading journey. Most of my followers know how I started. Blew up, did a job, resigned, started and now surviving 1/n
Do's for Beginners 1. Start with small capital and try to constantly increase it organically. Like start with 10% of what you can afford to lose. If you are consistently profitable then increase slowly. 2. Start thinking in % gain / loss terms from start.
2/n
3. Think about Risk first then Reward. 4. Define your circle of competence.
Don't 1. If you have less money & want to trade options, it's better to trade in monthly nifty or liquid stock options. As a beginner do not go for Bank Nifty. 2. Never trade naked. Always put a SL. 3/n
How do you tackle trading during such highs? 1. Trading at highs is good. All you must do is find the right stock which is moving with good Risk: Reward and let the probabilities play out. 2. Problem people are facing is due to low Vix and low premiums. 4/n
3. Unless we get a direction, do risk defined strategies where RR is incredibly good. 4. Iron Butterfly 5. Short Call/Put Butterflies 6. Ratio Calendars 7. Avoid naked shorts unless we get a clear direction.
5/n
8. Clearly define what is trending, what is consolidation and then act accordingly.
What should beginners focus on during an all-time high market? 1. All time high or not good stocks are always moving up. Just don’t do a forced trade.
6/n
2. As a thumb rule buy stocks price of which on daily charts are on the top right side of the chart. Avoid stocks which are on lower right side of the chart. @InvesysCapital

How do you handle the drawdown phase or the psychological part during losses? 1. You must be your own psychologist at such times. 2. Bad temperament in market can attract disaster. 3. You must define a point where you pull in the plug 4. I get aggressive when I am in profit.
8/n
When losses, I remain conservative till the time things are not back to normal. 5. Never do revenge trading.
Advise to traders 1. Your Technical System is just 20% of your Trading System. Rest of it is Risk Management & Position Sizing.
9/n
2. Risk : Reward – how much you lose or how much you win 3. Winning Probability – 50%+ 4. Diversification – Having eggs in different baskets. Like different strategies. If one does not perform, other will.

DCMP (Double Confirmed Minimum Profit) is an Intraday Scalping Technique which can be applied on Equites/Future/Commodities.
Like any strategy, the most important part of this strategy lies in Risk Management. This cannot be emphasized more. Thread coming.
1/n
Requirement of the strategy: 1. Capital Required:- ₹50,000+ 2. Risk:Reward:- 1:2/3 3. Method:- Scalping 4. Charts: Tick by Tick Line Charts 5. Discount Broker 6. Preferred Desktop App for order execution.
2/n As a day trader, you need to understand what is trend. In simple analogy, a series of Higher High, Higher Low is an uptrend. A series of Lower Low, Lower High is a downtrend. This is how it looks.
Can #Fractals be used to find the probable reversal on charts? Can it be used to find probable top and bottoms on #Stock Charts. Alone they might not. But lets dig into this possibility. I promised few days back of another model to find top and bottom. +
@rohit_katwal Fractals refer to a recurring pattern that occurs amid larger more chaotic price movements. Fractals are composed of Three or more bars. The rules for identifying fractals are as follows:
+
@rohit_katwal A bearish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the highest high in the middle and two lower highs on each side.
A bullish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the lowest low in the middle and two higher lows on each side.

Part 4: Understanding #OptionsBasic for #Nifty#BankNifty
In previous threads, we understood Intrinsic/Extrinsic value of options, how to achieve greek neutrality, risk management and how to define cheap or expensive options. Now
What Is Historical Volatility (HV)?
...1/n
@rohit_katwal Historical Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or index over a given period of time. This measure is calculated by determining the average deviation from the average price instrument in the given time period.
2/n
@rohit_katwal Using standard deviation is the most common, but not the only, way to calculate HV. The higher the historical volatility value, the riskier the security. However, that is not necessarily a bad result as risk works both ways - bullish and bearish.
3/n
#INDIAVIX is a measure of market’s expectation of volatility over the near term. VIX is computed using the order book of the underlying index options i.e #NIFTY.
...1/n
@rohit_katwal VIX is denoted as an annualized percentage. Higher the VIX, higher the expected volatility.
When Nifty goes up, VIX reduces. When Nifty goes down, VIX increases. Its an inverse relationship. Why?
In my past tweets, I mentioned IV is demand and supply.
...2/n
@rohit_katwal Puts are bought as hedge. When fear is less in the market, demand of puts is less and hence prices are low and hence low IV which results in Low Vix. When fear sets in, market dips and demand for put increases with increase in IV, VIX increases.
