Nifty gaped up above PDH and BRN. Entered long on BPB of BRN. Trade did not move. Stopped out. Another short on BPB of PDH. This one also stopped out. Rest of the day Nifty was in a Barbed Wire around PDH. No other trades

    3. Hi,

      IMO, Challenges in options are - we can't enter with SL orders !! So, options tend to go away few points & if a move is not fast, they tend to loose those points very easily. I find my self manytimes surrounded with such situations. So instead of Ranging days, High Volatility days are good to trade options comfortably as Trailing SL is few points only.

      Thanks,

    4. Chandra Mouli,
      For 1 lot of option it will be 75% lesser brokerage than nifty futures 1 lot. More or less all brokerages charging like the same. Options move well with futures when you buy At the money or In the money options.
      Advantages and Disadvantages are,
      1.your risk is fixed even if you loose your entire premium(at expiry) when you buy options.
      2.More risk when you write(short) options. risk of unlimited loss. you need full margin like nifty futures for writing.
      3.Your risk is less if you trade out of the money options when compared to futures.
      4.You will loose your premium when there is no movement, range bound days.

  4. Hi Sir,
    A new reader of your blog, find it very interesting.
    May I pls know the reason of avoiding the BOF of LOD and when the BRN was tested for the third time I took the trade inspite of LOL.
    Was this approach correct.

    Also I might bug you with question on trades on prev days, Pls bear.
    Your service to people is highly appreciated.

    Thanks

    1. Avoided it as it was counter trend and PDL and BRN above
      Nothing wrong with the trade. Trade went where it was supposed to go, the other extreme of the range.
      My trades are not ideal trades.I do miss a lot and mismanage many trades.Everybody will.
      But as we gain experience, we will start making more good decisions than the bad decisions.
      Discretionary trading is all about our decisions.

    2. Thanks for the reply sir.
      For the third test of BRN later in the day. What should be our thinking like?
      Should we look for a trend move as the short term trend was down or should we try to trade the BO as the critical mass was short. Today the BO trade was also triggered.

      Thanks

    3. Buying the low and selling the highs are always the preferred trade
      http://niftynirvana.blogspot.in/2012/05/buy-low-sell-high.html
      Other trades are always low probability ones and involve higher risk
      Here buying the BOF of LOD is a better trade than buying a BO of BRN

  10. Hi Chandra Mouli,
    Read your comments. Hope I do not offend by sharing what I feel trading options.
    I am great fan of options. Esplly Nifty options. Great liquidity and great bang for the buck.

    Few pointers:
    1) Dont trade options looking at NF. In this case you cant enter Limit orders on option trades.
    2) Be very swift if you want to scratch your position. With the swiftness of options one may not find a chance to do it.
    I would suggest, just look at the price movement for a week or so. How much options move vis a vis NF.

    All said and then ,you will enjoy the options trading journey

  11. @ chandra mouli

    regarding option , if you are new to option trading then please avoid it , simply
    there is standard rule , if future price increases then CE Will also increase and PE will decrease , BUT 30-40% OF time there is mis-pricing even in Nifty/Banknifty ATM / ITM Option , mostly rangebound market and month start and ...end of the month they will behave like MAD , they have own personality of option .
    Sir , you have knowledge about option intrinsic value , option time value ...etc . then its good ,but it is not sufficient plss try to grasp on screen /practical knowledge .
    there is TIME decay is more effective in this instrument , cause of it has limited life (one ...two...three month) , end of the month it will expire.

    1. Look at the left side of the chart. What happened at 7750 level
      So isnt it better to exit the trade near that level and wait for the next signal

      Once we get stopped out at a DP suspect a channel and stand out. That is all
