β€’ The lame textbook def of right but not the obligation etc is simply confusing

β€’ This is how you can remember, by understanding the logic of the instruments with your view on the market
β€’ In a nutshell: Options are instruments used to express your view on the market

β€’ The view could be same but the instruments played by the buyers and sellers could be different
β€’ For Option buyers:

β€’ Its imp to set a price target

β€’ and to set a time target as well
β€’ Time is an important factor to be considered

β€’ Movement should outweigh the time decay
β€’ Remember option is a wasting asset

β€’ Time decay always works against option buyers

β€’ Time decay is the highest when the option nears its expiry
β€’ Stock moved up but my CE dint move up 😭😭😭

β€’ Buying too early in the series means paying higher prem for an OTM option

β€’ Remember, OTM option only has time value
β€’ Exit conditions are very crucial

β€’ Evaluate your position everyday whether the theta decay is eroding your option premium faster than the movement you are waiting for

β€’ If yes have a SL
β€’ Option selling :betting where the market wont go

β€’ Need a broader view over a precise view
β€’ Draw a mental probability distribution chart

β€’ Theta decay is a friend of option sellersπŸ€πŸ‘¬
β€’ Exit conditions for option sellers

β€’ Time to expiry is less: theta decay will bail you out, ceteris paribus

β€’ If its breaking a major support or resistance: exit

β€’ Meanwhile: adjustment is the name of the game, to protect from huge MTM swings

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.

When to avoid carrying overnight positions for Option Sellers? 🧡

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

1. Think outside the box.

Everyone sees the patterns and support - resistance.

But as a beginner it is challenging to know the exact resistance and support, or chart and candlestick patterns.

However one can still make money by trading this simple set-up.

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.
