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 !

Thread: How drawdowns make you a better trader ?🧵

1) As they say :

“A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.”

Similarily,

Easy and calm markets will never make you a great trader ! Image
2)
-Experiencing volatile markets,
-Handling large directional moves, -Going through a drawdown &
-Bouncing back to hit a new equity high.

All of the above are important to build your psychology & character as a trader & help you scaleup ! Image
3) It was August 2016,

I was heavily short on JustDial.

Just Dial dropped by 40 percent in a couple of months & I made a whopping 300 %, thanks to leverage, on my capital in just 2 months.

The profit amassed was 72 Lakhs.

I was ecstatic and on cloud nine😬 Image

Thread:Why most traders lose money ?

1) @Nithin0dha of @zerodhaonline said that 99% of traders don’t even beat FD returns.

So what is the main reason that most traders don’t make money via trading consistently ?
2) The major reasons most traders don’t make money :

- Following tips
-No strategy
- Letting losses run
- No emotional control

But the major reason which is common in struggling traders is CONTRA THINKING.. Let me explain in detail
3) An avg trader's mind is possessed more with fear than greed. In a downtrend always eager to square shorts at the 1st instance of a fall.

In an uptrend always impatient to exit longs at the slightest resistance.

Always obsessed with supposed CONTRA probability

1) Idea( Eg. Theta Eating Strategy)

Options decay with passage of time.
I look at the theta decay curve & wonder that some decay is intraday and some is overnight.
Can I capture the intraday theta decay by creating delta neutral positions ?

#idea #theta Image
2) Entry, Exit, SL & position size

Can we create intraday straddle to capture theta decay ?

Initial Logic :

Entry : Create straddle at 9:20 am
Exit : Close the straddle at 3:15 pm
SL : 10% of combined option premium
Position Size : 1 lot (CE & PE) per 2 lakh Image
