Thread : Trading Applications that I use on a daily basis🧵

1) After putting a detailed post on hardware & multi-monitor setup. Few asked for softwares I use for trading.

So I am listing softwares/apps which I find the most useful for trading & investing Image
2) Trading View or Kite app

I use trading view for intraday charts.

As I trade intraday, I use the 5 min time frame.

My chart is simple with 20 sma plotted on it along with CPR(central pivot range)

Price > 20 sma & CPR indicates bullish trend for intraday & vice-versa Image
3) Icharts

As I majorly trade option premiums(short volatility or theta decay strategies)

I keep a track of combined premium of strangle using @iChartsIndia

Combined premium should be trending down & below VWAP to create a strangle Image
4) QuantsApp

As I need to provide analysis on TV channel.

I need to analyse overall market breadth, futures data & option chain activitiy.

@quantsapp provides

Futures Data : Long Builtup/Short Builtup
Options Data : Max Call OI/ Put OI
Market Breadth : For overall sentiment Image
5) Spider

I used @SpiderSoftIn to scan momentum stocks for intraday.

Spider helps in identfiying :

stocks hitting 52 week high/ low
Stocks making day high/low
Stocks with large buying single orders Image
6) Bloomberg

Helps in quick real time news.

Bloomberg is useful only if you trade mutliple markets & need access to various data quickly.

Bloomberg is an expensive software costing around 25 L per year.

One can skip bloomberg as cost is too high Image
7) GreekSoft

I use Greeksoft for multi leg order execution. It allows you to punch 1000+ lots of strangles/ straddles as a single order.

One can put SL on combined premium, do order slicing & many more such things.

Needed only if you trade big qty multi leg option trades Image
8) Ranking System (Proprietary)

Use an inhouse ranking system based on simple concepts of momentum,trend & derivatives data across time frames.

It is available only to IIFL members under our franchise(for free). To know more can check below :

9) Opstra by @Definedge

Opstra is useful in

-Creating option payoff

- Has historical result calendar with time

-Volatility Skew Analysis Image
10) Fundamental Data

a) @screener_in

Screener is useful in scanning stocks based on Fundamental parameters & also provides a quick overview of the company.

You can quickly find good companies based on fundamental parameters Image
10 b ) Stock Edge

@mystockedge is useful in

scanning bulk/ block deals
Checking top investor portfolios
Check company filings
IPO notes
Concall analysis Image
10 c) drvijaymalik.com

@drvijaymalik has built a great framework to analyse company in depth based on various fundamental parameters.

I personally use it to scan fundamental stocks.
11) I hope you found the above thread useful.

Goodluck on your Trading Journey !

This is Mark Douglas.
He wrote “Trading in the Zone” — one of the greatest trading books of all time.
But his live lectures go even deeper.
Here are 11 priceless insights that will instantly make you a better trader 🧵 Image
1. “Anything can happen.”
The market doesn’t owe you anything.
There are no guarantees.
Accept uncertainty — or get eaten by it. Image
2. “You don’t need to know what’s going to happen next to make money.”
Prediction is a myth.
You only need a repeatable edge and the discipline to follow it. Image

10 years in the markets.
Lots of trades.
Tons of mistakes.

10 major mistakes & lessons in last 10 years of Trading

A thread🧵 Image
1) I was able to enter and ride uptrend but unable to exit when trend changes.

This is similar to Abhimanyu Chakravyuh from Mahabharat where one knows how to enter but doesn’t know how to exit.

So a good trader is one who can do well in both bull & bear markets Image
2) Justifying a wrong trade taken in smaller time frame

I used to enter on smaller time frame but kept changing my stoploss

For eg
20 sma broken
But 50 sma hold karge
200 sma toh pakka hi hold karega

Always respect your stoploss. No matter what

What happened in sensex expiry today be explained logically ?

Thread: Image
2) While
Sensex was going up⬆️
Call premiums weee increasing ⬆️
& also
Put premiums increasing⬆️

And then till 2 pm IV keeps on rising with no decay on the straddle & then followed a sharp directional move

IV’s again preceding the move which is unusual! Image
3) If you observe closely

On expiry days when IV’s start to increase since morning, on that day a directional move comes in the 2nd half..

This is happening too frequently.

Ideally move should first and that IV’s should increase but Image

Thread: How Drawdowns Make You a Better Trader 🧵 Image
1) “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.”

Just like a calm sea never makes a skilled sailor, easy and steady markets won’t make you a great trader! Image
2) Reason for this thread:

No one talks about drawdowns, but they are part of every trader's journey. Always manage risk, follow your systems, and don't fear losses. No system is profitable all the time. Image
