A well meaning follower at @GreeksPoint asked me this and I'm sure others will have the same question.

One of the primary goals when @alok_dharia and I started running Webinars at @Greekspoint was to educate and share our experiences with others.
But in addition we wanted to ensure that we present a quantifiable representation of our learnings.

The next two weeks will be about holding fort to attempt getting past the trading errors of this week.
Bad trades, bad decisions.
#trading#markets
The thing with bad decisions in trading or any other endeavor is that it begets other bad decisions.
The first thing is to get back to the basics and put things straight.

Sharing some thoughts on beginners who start trading short options.
Previously shared this on a closed WhatsApp group of friends.
Great intro, Mark. Looking forward to getting into it.
A number of times when I started #trading I would read about common trading errors but then land up making the exact same errors.

Traders need to check their ledger not daily MTM PNL statements.
Selling of deep ITM options to hide and carry forward losses is a common practice amongst unscrupulous "sub-brokers" illegally managing others money in #OptionsTrading.
There are no mandates from @SEBI_India on allowing "sub-brokers" or any party to trade and manage client funds in #OptionsTrading.
Certainly no mandate to take leverage of the sorts usually taken.
Most traders understand that #OptionsPricing is dependent on the price of the underlying, but the response is non-linear. #Gamma is the variable that describes this non-linearity.
1/n A lot of chatter on my TL about the #edge in #OptionsTrading, specifically #OptionSelling.
A lot of good information but some mis-information being spread as well.
Simply by selling an instrument that decays in value over time, doesn't give one an edge towards profit. It is accompanied by short gamma and rising #volatility working "against" you.
Some of my #takeaways & #notes from various #DECMA sessions this weekend. (1/n)

- Build a rock solid trading plan
- Treat trading like a business
- Limit your time spent with the trading business
- Take the extra time that trading allows you to have and spend it with your family
