Trigger level 4700

RAMZAN MUBARAK

Since the holy month of RAMADAN has started I will not be having time to actively post my views or strategies during the month of Sep 09.

But I will try to post articles from time to time.

Bye Guys & happy trading.

Nifty May Touch 4850 Level

Nifty May Touch 4850 Level in the comming weeks. It may sooner than latter.All the (F & O ) indicators SUGGEST a sustainable rally of up to 150 odd points with support between 4600 -4700.
Technical factors such as inverted hammer pattern also suggest the same.

Traders are writing 4900 & 5000 calls as they do not expect the index to close / move beyond 4900 level.

The upmove is expected as the average trade in sep futures was around 4700 level though the nifty dipped to the intraday low of 4650 level which suggest that there was no panic in the market though the nifty touched 4650 level.

The closing of 4732 was achived mainly due to short covering of index heavy weights such as RIL, SBI etc.,

But ,

When all the experts on TV , FORUM, PAID SITES NEWS PAPERS are predicting a rally beyong 5000 I will try to Short sell 4900,5000 , 5100 & 5200 Calls when the spot nifty trades in between 4810-4850. Although I will be closely monitoring my positions & my stop loss will be say for 4900 call .... 4900+premium amt ( rate at which short sold) = Spot Nifty ... like wise stop loss for 5000/5100/5200 calls

Let the experts be on one side I will be on the OTHER side & hope the ALMIGHT will prove the heard wrong.
I always bear in mind that " ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED FROM THE MARKET"
If u all would recall that on 24 th Aug 09 I had posted the following -

"Sep 09 Option premiums are at a premium.While premiums will drop post settlement, the spread risk -reward ratios may actually be better now than 4 secession down the week"

& On 25 Th Aug 2009 had Short sold Sep 5000 ce @ 60.35 at 2.30 pm

Nifty was around 4670-4690

After Expiry on 28 Aug 09 NIFTY @ 4732
Though nifty has risen almost 50 points the premium has not risen in value in fact 5000 Sep CE is @ 59.50 It is also true for 4800 & 4900 CE.

Hope it is clear what I ment to SAY ON 24 Aug 09

As advised if any one had short sold 5000 ce @ 60 -63 , 4900 ce @ 90-100 or 4800 ce @ 120-130 on the next /same day as published on the blog then............................

On 25 Aug all Could have booked profits ---- 5000 ce @ 41-45 , 4900 ce @ 64-70 or 4800 ce @ 95-100

Since I am willing to take risk I am holding my short positions in 4900 ce & 5000 ce @ 90 & 60 (2 lots each ) which I may square up at any moment when I am convinced that I have been caught on the wrong foot. I will try to post the same as and when I do.

Risky NIFTY Options Strategy for Sep Strike

Sep 09 Option premiums are at a premium.While premiums will drop post settlement, the spread risk -reward ratios may actually be better now than 4 secession down the week.

Therefore I would try to execute the following trades this week (keep an eye on any upmove intraday ) --

Short sell 4900 call at the range of 100+ (Now it is @ 77)
Aprox margin money req - 16000/-
Short sell 4800 call at the range of 120+ (Now it is @ 108)
Aprox margin money req - 21000/-

It will be much safer option to short sell 4900 call @ 90-100+

When the markets correct we will focus on short selling put option & settle for a short strangle with a focus on range bound strategy.

My VIEW on Nifty

Today Nifty has closed to a very trick level @ 4528

Markets could move up if the index closes above the supply zone 4530 to 4560 . If the market is not able to absorb the supply another short correction is on the cards.

Lets hope for the best

Option Decay

Taking advantage of OPTION DECAY concept (F & O since expiry is on 27/08/09) I have executed the following trade Today 21/08/09 :

Short sold 4300 Strike put @ 30.00 Time 12:27 PM
Margin money blocked per lot : 19,000/-
Todays Closing : @ 9.95

Short sold 4400 Strike put @ 25.25 Time 03:18 PM

Anger is our BIGGEST enemy

Thought : Worth Sharing LOVE HAS NO LIMIT......

While Dad was polishing his new car,
his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car.
In his anger, Dad took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, his child said "Dad when will my fingers grow back?"
Dad was so hurt.

He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.
Sitting back he looked at the scratches, child wrote "I LOVE YOU DAD"

Anger and Love has no limits...

Likewise we also need to control our emotions while trading in the stock market . Most of us may have experienced that after a successful trade we may randomly increase the frequency or the traded qty of trade ...... Like wise after a loss making trade we also do the same ..... the loss weighs heavy on our mind & in fit of uncontrollable emotional bust with the object of recovering losses .... (Read : to take revenge on the markets) we take a wrong decision (increasing trading vol, risky trade with risk to reward heavily tilted towards risk etc.) often leading to heavier losses.

Emotions prevents us from maintaining DISCIPLINE which is very vital to sustain in this highly volatile stock market.To me it is one of the most important factor to be considered while trading ..... CONTROLLED EMOTIONS

NIFTY Unpredictable

Why not use the opportunity to invest in selected stocks in a systematic manner ?
Though the WORLD markets are up we ended in RED.
Any dip to around 4250-4300-4350 may be an opportunity to sell puts .
REMEMBER the markets will always prove the MAJORITY of us wrong.

My Strategy WILL be : Tomorrow the market may open with a GAP UP, What ever be If the market is UP execute the call option ... if DOWN then execute put option to increase your leverage. Ideal if the market goes down sell the put & wait for the market to recover to sell the call.
