Index option trading

[newtrader101]

Personally feeling handling short strangles and straddles is getting difficult nowadays with wild moments on both sides.
Literally feeling that some big players are watching my stop losses...

It is not a feeling...

No trading today..mostly tomorrow also

Found this interesting...especially the fact that option sellers have a lot more information than buyers.

6th trading day..7th trading days...no trades

8th trading day closed in small profit

Loss around 20k....was in loss of 10k in the mrng...and back to profit of 4k by 2:30. I should have stopped at this point of time.... Thought Market can go down by seeing Dow futures. shorted call(high premium) and put(less premium).

Lessons learnt: Stop when we reach the daily profit limit...dont do over trade
