Escape's Options Trading Diary - Strategy Based (Phase 1)
Objective:
Using various Options Strategies to trade options, and main focus would be adjusting and handling losses, to make loosing trade into winner.
Strategy:
I will start with "Calendar Spread" Strategy and will move on using different strategies based on situation.
Rules:
I'll be trading only NIFTY Index Option chain.
I'll not "Short" without any "Long" position or some safeguard present.
I'll go short if "SL for short" is hit.
FAQs:
1. Based on moving average, if NIFTY is above 100 moving day average and RSI is below 80, and is not approaching critical Resistance level, will consider upside move else downside move.
2. Observe Long position on subsequent day and in case market moves in our direction, trail SL up. In case if market moves against our direction and "SL for Short" is hit, go short for same option type for current months series in ATM.
3. Target/Exit for Long Position?
Based on some MA cross-over on NIFTY Day chart, decide when to exit.
4. If Long shows exception upside move, we have two alternatives, we will take decide this on case basis:
A. Just Exit, and re-enter after correction.
B. Hold position with some SL.
5. How do I define "SL for Short"?
Based on certain % of capital value (at the end of day we are trading in terms of Rs.)
6. If short position chain is expiring as "zero" or "near zero" on expiring day, should I exit from Long or keep it further?
Check Chart in following order to decide to hold:
1. MA cross-over chances (may happen in 2-3 days), i.e. distance between higher-lower MA are reducing.
2. Current level is coming to near certain Support Level and market may change direction.
3. RSI value is in OS zone
Result Expected:
At the end of each Options series, try to end with positive result.
Challenges:
I have never used strategy based option trades earlier. This is first time I'm trying under guidance of DanPickUP. He will support me based on his availability.
Expectations from forum members:
Honest feedback and encouragement so as to improve my methodology.
If you have some suggestions to modify above strategy or methods, please let me know.
