  Long Term Portfolio: So as of today, these are the stocks in my Long term portfolio along with the weightage they carry individually. Building a Long-term Portfolio is still very overlooked amongst most traders. As I have said before, at least 30-50% of your entire account should be dedicated towards long-term investments if you are in the market for the long run. Right now, around 50% of my account size is invested in liquid debt funds, 30% is invested in long-term investments and the rest is cash used for further investments or adjustments in short-term trades if required.   So, you'd wonder where does the capital to trade comes from? The 80% of investments are pledged with the broker who in turn provides margin money for F&O trading after a minimum haircut. In short, my investments are making passive income for me while I use that money for short-term speculative trades.  Now, it doesn't mean you can throw your money into long-term investments in random sto...

Get This Right to Be Wealthier

END OF ANOTHER FINANCIAL YEAR: A New Financial Year is here and making new Financial Year Resolutions could be useful for the future. Many people around you would teach how to make money but very rarely would someone advise you on how to spend/invest it. It doesn't matter how much money you make, at the end of the month, what matters is how much you spend or invest. For example, if someone earns 70,000 a month and spends all of it, they'll just be broke. But if you earn 50,000 and save 10,000 every month, 10 years down the line you'll still be wealthier than the person who earns 70k a month,  There are few habits that you can correct straight away and start your journey to a wealthier future.  1. BASIC NEEDS: First things first, you have to learn to differentiate between needs and wants. Your house, food, medicines are your needs. You can't compromise much on these needs but its important to stay away from spending on things that don't make you wealthy.  Lets say y...

PUT CREDIT SPREADS: To be profitable consistently over a period of time a trader needs to master certain skills and make them as a trading habit.   Sharing one of the easiest and my bread and butter strategy with the trading principles that I follow along with it. This basic strategy has been giving me a consistent return of around 5-10% a month with around 90% probability.  It's 'PUT CREDIT SPREAD'. 1. SETUP  Though the setup of a trade is not everything but important as it defines your path moving forward. It's simply the foundation of your trade that defines the strength of your trade.  For a PUT CREDIT SPREAD to work consistently the stock has to be on an uptrend for at least the last 6-9 months. (Look at the above charts for reference) all three stocks having 50,100,200 EMA moving upwards) Also, the stock has been respecting and taking the support of 50 EMA if and when there is a correction. Ideally, we would like to enter the trade when it is around th...

 IRON CONDOR: NIFTY WEEKLY STRATEGY :   Iron Condor : Iron Condor is a very popular neutral strategy that favors Option writers as theta decay is in their favor.  Iron Condor is favorable when the underlying asset remains range bound within your strike price. Simply put, you make money when the asset moves either a little downwards, upwards, or even remains where we entered the trade.  For starters, we can trade Iron Condors in Nifty as it has high volumes and highly liquid. This is not a strategy created by me but a very popular strategy (I have refined, tuned, and set rules as per our market) that has given consistent returns of 2-3% per week to me and thus sharing it with you. A typical Iron Condor consists of 4 legs/trades. If you look at the above option chain of Nifty closely you can see that we have to;  SELL 1 Call Option and BUY 1 Call Option further above it to hedge and make the most of new margin rules Similarly, you have to  SELL...

DOUBLE CALENDAR SPREAD / SNIPEX  The market  has been really choppy and unpredictable for quite a while now. One day Bulls are trapped and the next day Bears are trapped. NIFTY Moving violently between 14600 to 15400 range. Some call it a Kangaroo market , unsure about where it wants to go but keeps hopping from place to place. Making it really difficult for short-term traders (intraday and positional traders).   But the beauty about Options is that once you realize the behavior of the market there is always a strategy to make money out of it. An exceptional strategy to make money out of this kind of Market is DOUBLE CALENDAR SPREAD or what I like to call it ' SNIPEX '. Sharing the setup, Risk-Reward, Rules, and Exit for the same. This a general Payoff Diagram of DOUBLE CALENDAR SPREAD, which looks like a double suspended bridge or having 2 mountain peaks. This is because this strategy isn't neutral but one for the speculators, speculating a price at the end of a cer...

COVERED CALLS: RICH MAN'S RENTAL INCOME

Covered Call is an ideal strategy to generate monthly income from Selling the Call Options of an underlying asset that you already own.   With falling rates of FDs, many people are looking to get a reasonable return on their capital without being involved in the market too much.  Covered Calls can generate a return of 10-15% annually.  PREREQUISITE: - Owning an equal number of shares as the F&O lot size of the stock. - Willing to hold the stock for a long term (at least 2-3 years).  I would recommend only Bluechip Stocks for this strategy.  - Capital requirement (6 lakh and above) depending on the stock. (Will share some recommendations at the end) EXAMPLE: Let's say, you want to do this with Reliance. (Being the largest company in the country and surprisingly requires the minimum amount of capital).  Reliance has a lot size of 250 shares. Assuming the current market price is at around 2000 you would need a capital of Rs. 5 Lakh to own 2...
