#BANKNIFTY Strategy: Aggressive risk seekers:
Can sell a strangle unless 38115 is taken out the upside, once that is taken out, exit CE's and sell only PE's.

Sep 23, 2021 - Weekly expiry, preceded by the FOMC meet and not to mention the gap up which then turned out to be a trending day
Here’s how the strangles were converted into straddles & how the positions were managed!
Time for a Thread 🧵
• Wednesday night (IST) there was an event, FOMC meet
• Markets were jittery, as they say, when US sneezes the world catches cold
• Both Dow & Nifty were weak
• All eyes were fixed on the Fed Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s take on interest rate and the pace of asset purchases
• So didn’t wanted to get caught on the wrong side, hence on Wednesday noon Shorted a strangle
• ~700-800 points away from where the BNF was about to close i.e. 37k levels
• 37800 CE @ 43 & 37700 CE @ 34 & 36200 PE 28 & 36300 PE at 34
In the past few weeks, many screenshots of the FREAK TRADES are doing rounds on the social media.
Lets understand what causes freak trades and how to dodge them!
What is a Freak Trade: 👹
• Freak trade is a trade where the price of the underlying is being traded at a significantly abnormal price for a brief period usually micro seconds & thereafter the underlying again starts trading back to its normal levels
Example of freak trades:
• On Sep 7, 2021, BNF 36000 PE Sep 9, shot up suddenly to ₹750
• The option finally closed at ₹53.65.The option’s day low was 35.25.
• The underlying Bank Nifty Index opened at 36,559, hit a high of 36,686 and low of 36,152 before closing at 36,469
Sep 1, 2021, fresh month starts with a challenge i.e. introduction of Peak Margin rules by SEBI
Time for a 🧵
Lets demystify the Peak Margin rules and try to find solutions for the option sellers!
Peak Margin by SEBI:
• 100% upfront margin for intraday trades in the derivative segment
• Effectively MIS orders = NRML orders, as both will attract same margin in the derivative segment
• Minimum margin for equity intraday trades will be 20% of trade value i.e. 5X leverage
How things used to operate erstwhile?
• Until last year there were no standardization of leverage
• Brokerage firms used to offer their clients intraday leverage of 5x, 10, 15x, 20x etc. as margin reporting was done on EoD basis
Time for a Thread🧵On yesterday’s “F&O Pe Charcha - Diary Of An Option Seller” with @Mitesh_Engr by @Paytm Money
Why Gain/loss ratio is important that the batting average
• More than the Win Loss ratio check the total Gain /loss ratio
• If your avg loss is 1% and avg gain is +5% then even if you are losing in 7 positions and winning in 3 out of 10 still you will be net profitable
Treat Trading as a business:
• Stick to a single strategy. Eg: A restaurateur usually wouldn’t be changing his recipe on a daily basis
• Mitesh Sir only works on BO or BD strategy, as he is a versatile trader
