MY TOP 10 POINTS TO BECOME A BETTER TRADER

A Thread🧵

Listing down some of my top learnings which has helped me improve my trading to a great extent and will help you too.
1: Always stay on the right side on trend.

The biggest money is made by being with the trend, not against it.

Traders who made it big were always trend followers.
2: Don't ever underestimate risk.

Big losses usually happens when a trader ignores risk management when he's on a winning streak.

Overconfidence usually leads to poor risk management which ultimately causes destruction.
3: Taking Risk on Profits made:

A trader should always take high risk trades on the profit which he has already made and not on his principal.

It's much easier to take risks on the profits than taking risk on principal capital and losing it.
4: Patience

Success in trading comes with patience. One should be willing to wait atleast 2 years before giving up trading.

You drastically improve your odds of success even if you just survive for a couple of years without losing much money.
5: Focus on scalability

There are many ways to make money but one has to make sure that it's scalable.

Without scalability a trading strategy doesn't make sense.
6: Focus only on one strategy

In the beginning, instead of jumping onto different strategies, only focus on mastering a single strategy.

That will put you much ahead and will drastically shorten your learning curve.
7: 90% of trading is psychology

Psychology and emotions play a big role in trading. Psychology matters more than strategy itself.

A right trading psychology can drastically increase your performance.
8: Focus on compounding

In the early years, try not to withdraw your trading profits.

You should try to withdraw as little as possible and let your capital compound.

Compounding is the fastest way to grow your account.
9: Simple things work.

Simple strategies will always outperform complicated strategies.

Simple doesn't mean easy.

The best traders I know have made their money using simple things and not complicated strategies.
10: Consistency

One should always strive to achieve consistency no matter what.

Consistency indirectly improves psychology and improves a traders overall performance in the long term.

Short straddle is the most basic strategy but many people are unaware about various types of adjustments that can be used to adjust a straddle when it goes wrong and come out with profits.

When you initiate a short straddle and the market starts to go in one direction you can easily make it risk free by simply buying Slightly Otm option of the tested side.

HOW TO SAVE TAXES IN TRADING AS AN INDIVIDUAL?

A THREAD🧵

In this thread I'll list down all the legal ways in which you can save taxes on the profits you earned from the stock market.
1: Split your money between family members.

If you are trading with a good capital size, to lower taxes, you can always split your money in you family member's account. This greatly reduces your taxes.
It gets even better if they are not earning any money from other sources as there's no tax upto a certain income slab.

HOW TO ADJUST A SHORT STRANGLE?

Gone are those days where a short strangle used to expire worthless without any adjustments.

Adjustments are a must when your initial view goes wrong which it will.

Listing down all the ways to adjust a short strangle WITH EXAMPLES below.
1: Rolling up/down:

If you've sold a short strangle and one side premium spikes, you can book the profitable side and roll it up to match the premium of the other side.
eg: If you've sold a 60rs call and a 60rs put. If the 60rs call goes to 100. Then book profits in put and sell a 100 pt put.

This is the most basic way of adjustment.

JESSE LIVERMORE is considered the greatest trader of all time.

He was the richest person in the world during his time.

I've read majority of his books and picked out learnings which are relevant even today with examples of the current scenario.
1: Remember that stocks are never too high for you to begin buying or too low to begin selling.

This principle still holds true today in trading, especially trend following.

Most people think if a stock has run up too much, then it's price is high and it will reverse.
But a trader should always be on the right side of a trend.

For eg: Asianpaints has been making new highs constantly, the major money would've been by the people who were on the right side of the trend i.e long.

WHY DO PEOPLE LOSE MONEY IN OPTION BUYING?

I've gotten major number of DMs from people stating that they've blown up their entire capital buying options.

It's honestly sad and hence I've decided to write the basic mistakes they commit and hopefully deliver some learning.
1: It's not Option Buying's fault.

It's the trader's fault in the first place, they would've still lost the same amount, be it selling or buying options or even trading futures.
2: Low capital.

Majority of them start with low capital (i.e less than 5 lakhs), naturally they will be more inclined towards buying options.

But a buyer will also need more capital as backup which can provide him with a cushion.
