Day Trading Stocks & Futures

re: Day trading Nifty & Banknifty Futures

ST Sirji . Have you read the post no 15145. If not please do read
Read that post Munde. Thanks

But these strategies are ok for 200-300 points move in NF and 500-700 points move in BNF but the problem comes when NF moves by 500 points and BNF by 1000-1200 points. Also if there is a move of 300 points up and 300 points down due to increase in volatility, then adjusting delta becomes very difficult.

But as you are trading these ,I am sure I am missing something. So I have to learn that.

re: Day trading Nifty & Banknifty Futures

Selling options to be used if you are going to profit from the time decay and/or change in volatility. TP is doing a quick scalp of 1-1.5 points, so why sell options ? So if he feels market is bullish, instead of selling puts, buy in the money calls..it will give him the same movement plus his risk is never unlimited and money needed for buying the calls will be less than selling puts.Just my thoughts....

I too looked idhar udhar.

Settled on Futures.

NF futures with CO looks very very attractive for quick scalps.

a 5 point NF scalp with 25,000 margin, and 2 points brok/exp gives a quick 450 Rs.
I am still experimenting. I am kinda all over the place :D
Still experimenting... it will take some time to learn to handle a capital of 22k rather than 2k :D

and yes, ST, I did observe the difference in the rate of change in futures and options..Will learn to do something about it, eventually.
 
re: Day trading Nifty & Banknifty Futures

sirji but today movement in nifty spot was 35 points and in atm call was 33 point.. 6289~6324 191~225 6200 calll
Also, the breakeven for the option would be less than half of that for the futures, and damned sight less turnover too.
