3% Nifty Option Strategies Trade Limited Profit & Loss – TheOptionCourse.com

Date of post: 25-Feb-2019

Some reasons why there is too much volatility in the markets:

• Indo-Pak Tension – This could have tanked Nifty but luckily it did not break 10600, but created confusion in traders mind. It did go down but not too much.
• Tussle Between Government and RBI. This problem is going on since very long and I do not think this will get over soon.
• General Elections in Apr-May 2019 – This is a major source of volatility and will keep moving the markets till the elections are not over.

My advice is trade with the basics of trading – do not let the stop loss be violated. This means if you have decided to keep stop loss on certain point – it’s better to exit the trade at that point. And when it comes for time to book profit – just do that. Do not wait for more.

If you want to play safe my courses will help you. Please note that option selling is required so you must have at least 75,000 in your account to do my strategies. read more

Disclaimer: Although most of the time writing or shorting puts often produces better results than buying calls or holding a stock it comes with its own inherent risk. Please know the risk involved before shorting a put. I am not responsible directly or indirectly for any ideas or strategies written in this post or this website.

Selling options whether it is call or put is considered very risky proposition especially by new and novice traders. One reason is everywhere it is written in option trading books as well as in many online websites that selling options is an unlimited risk. This is true on paper but is there any rule that says if you sell and option you cannot close it before expiry? read more

2019 Indian General Elections are due to be held in India between April and May 2019 to constitute the 17th Lok Sabha. Its obvious that a lot of speculative trading will happen from now until the results are declared. In fact for one month after the results are declared there will be volatility.

See this movement of Nifty last six months from October 2018 to February 2019:

Nifty Oct to Feb 2019

Nearly 1500 points drop from Sep to Nov 18 and then 1000 points surge in next 2 months. This is volatility. A 500 points up and down in a few months is considered stable stock markets – but 1500 move points is above average volatility. Be prepared for this for next few months. read more

The major reason why traders lose money is they make the same mistake over and over again. They do not realize that if you do the same mistake again you may get the same result again.

Here are two biggest mistake traders do:

1) Hoping of a reversal and not taking stop loss when it comes, and
2) Taking profits early in the fear of making a loss if you do not take out the profit.

Other Mistakes:

3) Averaging a losing trade : This is again a blunder. You should just take a stop loss that is all. Averaging a losing trade means you will lose more. read more

Budget is tomorrow 1-Feb-2019 please trade carefully.

Read this article to know what you should trade on a budget day.

Important for option traders:

Do not sell options especially if you do not know how to hedge. And if you buy options please keep in mind that India VIX will keep falling thought the day as the budget progresses so option prices will not increase the way they normally do. In fact if the move is slow then option buyers may suffer a loss even if the direction is correct.

==================
Hope you are doing well. Attached file contains the strategies I bought from you so far. I’ve used these strategies for some time and found them good (particularly Conservative Non-Directional Strategies on NIFTY options).

Now, I got 8 lacs capital to trade on these strategies and I would like to use this capital only for options strategies month on month. So, based on your views, feedback from your customers and based on the returns they have provided can you please suggest me which strategy I can deploy month on month.

I have written this before that Nifty and India VIX are inversely proportional. Today I want to just write again because it has again proved that they both are inversely proportional.
