Zero position is also a strategy.

A positional option seller can't avoid unknown risks.

Traders can save capital & mental peace by avoiding overnight positions on few occasions.

1. US Inflation Data:

Lately, US inflation data has started hurting a lot. As it creates a huge move in DOW. Indian markets can only react to it the next day.

Usually, because of such favorable or unfavorable data, there are usually big gaps.
Example 1: Check the charts on 10th June.

These are surprise gaps that may or may not open in your favor.

The following day, there was a 760-point gap down.

Stranglers would have been killed and sitting with 2-3% losses for sure. Image

I went from selling just 3 lots to trading in 200 lots of BankNifty options within 2 years.

After meeting @AdityaTodmal in 2021, I was able to grow my trading account real quick.

10 key things I learnt from him that accelerated my trading career:
1) 3-step process to success:

a. List the top 5 traders and figure out what they do
b. Simply ape their trading style
c. Don't try to re-invent the wheel
Aditya has a very curious mind that makes him want to learn from anyone who has consistency.

According to him, one should always invest in learning, as it shortens the curve.

Either they teach you what to do or they teach you what to avoid.
