                  • To wrap up , Selling put options at nifty 16000 levels with hedged spread positions could benefit as swing trade for next week due to fact that nifty may find it not easy to cross it with little support from bank-nifty. However if banking stock especially HDFC kind of index stocks join the party then 16000 would be very close 200 point target that could be covered on any single day gap up itself and so caution and defined risk options strategies need to be implemented. Power sector stocks like ntpc/powergrid/pfc/coalindia are all having a result week and earnings trade on option could be planned .option sellers could benefit from the volatility crush after the event.

Bank nifty also moved more than 2% but ended in red end of week.

                  • A double bottom breakout W pattern is clear visible like last week on both indices  indicating there is a good breakout potential from current levels.
                  • Nifty has a small gap support between last two candles could work out well if there is minor retracement before moving up further.
                  • 15050 is the best support downwards from where it had broken out earlier. If by any chance that is broken there is 50/100 moving average to support at 14750 levels.
                  • Bank nifty has not yet reached all time high which is more than 2500 point away but could face hurdles both at 36400 previous swing high levels and 37700 all time high levels before that.
                  • Bank nifty has support at 34300 levels from where it broke out earlier and below that it could find support near 33000-33250 levels at the moving averages and trendline channel.

                  • Daily timeframe(short term) is showing how a momentum range shift into bullish zones worked out well on bank nifty.
                  • The monthly candles(yet to close) are very bullish green long for nifty and bank nifty.
                  • However  could come out with a potential bearish momentum divergence on monthly candle depending on close of Monday if momentum is not moving up from current which may indicate correction up to 30400 levels but on a longer term basis  only if it works out. 
                  • Trend indicator ADX/DMI has turned up and rising on all timeframes for both indices indicating clear bullishness ahead.
                  • Futures open interest is bullish long build up on both indices.
                  • Open interest on nifty options shows that 15500 has higher call writing while 15300 could be good support for next expiry.
                  • Bank nifty open interest data shows 35500 as resistance level while 35000 has highest support level seen although a large writing is still seen there which could mean next week may see more bull bear tug of war before decisively conquering it meanwhile 34500 is immediate support below it.
                  • Put call ratio is bullish for nifty 1.32 but not bullish for bank nifty at 0.75
                  • India VIX fall more than 16% last week alone and has reach 17.4 pre-pandemic levels. This is further confirmation that bullishness may be continuing ahead. The covid case rate and sentiments has brought down VIX probably.
                  • Implied volatility is above historic IV levels and IVP has fallen from 70 to 0.8 low levels indicating only 0.8% of time in past year has been lower  than current IV. Currently IV is sharp falling phase  and premium \of option also may be less.
                  • IT,Energy,Auto,Infra are other sectors seen in the bullish zones.
                  • FII where buying good last week except for Thursday. 
                  • Dollar index has regained the 90 price level and seems reverting while USDINR trades with rupee strengthened to 72.4 levels and look like bottom may have been hit and could hover around there or revert from there. Gold continues the rally up after the trendline breakout.
                  • Overall market having a nice round patter with potential for a very good breakout after a fair correction and going short is out of question while the nature of  further up move could be a slow trending rather than an upright breakout to hit 16K.Therefore credit/debt directional spreads based long trades on option could give results while directional momentum breakout trades with stop loss intraday could be effective as well.

                  Few random useful trading tips

                  Few random useful trading tips

                  • Pledge liquid funds as collateral with certain haircut  and use it for option selling and get interest for same and avoid more cash with broker. 
                  • Always hedge your overnight  positions for reducing risk to a defined loss as well as get the margin advantage.
                  • Have backup brokers one or two so that you could take counter positions and mitigate  infrastructure outage risk. Also distribute your capital across multiple accounts . Investments in multiple laptops, collocated cloud and multiple Internet connection could save your capital during outages. 
                  • Always buy hedge positions before taking sell position in order to get margin benefits during execution of trades. 
                  • Sell covered calls for your liquid, quality investment in stocks and get regular rental income and use selling of cash secured puts to buy stocks on delivery at cheap price while increasing profits same time. 
                  • Trading is full time business if you want make money consistently  from it and doing it part time won't work. Better to do investing than trading if you are part time. Most of the trading  you believe could be done part time may take away most or all l of your earlier gains  when you miss to be there to adjust or get out on a day when things go wrong like your stop loss failed to work or circuit hit or surgical  strike or corona or nse exchange itself down.Hedging your positions help to certain extend but why do a business where making money consistent  is very very tough when investing is more safer . 
                  • Do every single  trade with fixed rules and risk reward and position size defined  and set target as small %return of investment on monthly basis with capital protection as key during initial stages before the  heavy lifting.Too much complicated strategies often may not work as they may be curve fitting or just duplicating filters. 
                  • Forget your expertise, conquer your FOMO and simply sit outside with no trading on major event days  Not trading itself is a trade. Also trade only if u get a full signal on your rules on other days. 
                  • Trading is an extension of you and the  reason why you are attracted to it  is the freedom you seek for, but without  discipline in your daily  life there can't be one in trading and it takes no time to loose many times more than what you won earlier . Therefore start investing small parallel is the  way to go in long term. 
                  • Physically being fit, meditation, visualisation are only ways to calm you and help you make good  decisions consistently. 
                  • What matters is if your profits are bigger than your  smaller losses. So learn how to let profits run and accept happy small losses.do know about expectancy, drawdown etc beforehand .
                  • Having multiple strategies that fits into different  market cycles  is important since all strategies won't work in all cycles. For for example have neutral positions that gives you money even when markets are sideways, while your momentum directional trades feeds you when market are trending. 
                  • Backtesting your trading rules either manually or programmatically helps improve your trading confidence in a volatile market and remain disciplined when faced with  drawdowns or other doubts . Automation /algo trading helps better  execution of trades and reduce mindset issues to certain extend but with the risk of bugs  and so it still need monitoring. Also same time forward test and review /journal your trades regularly. 
                  • You cannot ever duplicate another person's trading same way as the execution, risk management and mindset differs. So trade the way  what fits your personality like whether to  buy option or sell option or cash or options or breakout or support resistance etc etc.. Remember that if trading was only technical most of traders would have been multmblliinares by now which is very far from reality as trading is combination of technicals, psychology and risk management. So never try copy  rules  and expect it to work for you, nor keep switching or hunting for that holy grail strategy from somewhere.
