Nifty: Wheels on the Nifty go up and down On September 28, it was suggested that Nifty is near 240 day EMA and that 17166-17320 zone might act as short term resistance and short term support being around 16300 odd levels. Well, Nifty has made a high of 17187 thereafter and and now is back at it's 240 day EMA. For the October month, Important Support and resistance levels going forward Gap support 1 - 16653-16746 Gap support 2 - 16360-16490 - 50 day and 20 day EMA around 17270 and 17340 coinciding with Gap resistance zone at 17166-17320 The Short strangle strategy suggested on 28 September, which had a Net receivables of 181 points at that time; is currently valued at 125. That gives a profit of 56 points per strategy lot. We continue to hold and as long as Nifty is between 16300-17320 odd points, we would be passive in our trading approach. Important levels to watch out for till 6th October 2022 16980 / 17062 / 17123 on the upside 16855 / 17733 / 17608 on the downside Take care & safe trading...!!!

Types of participants in the derivatives marketHey everyone! Last week we talked about the basics of derivatives and what all different derivative instruments are available in the markets. In this post, we will talk about the types of people who use derivatives and why they exist. There are broadly three types of participants in the derivatives market: → Hedgers → Traders (also called speculators) → Arbitrageurs. An individual may play different roles at different times. Hedgers → They employ derivatives to mitigate the risk they suffer from fluctuations in the pricing of the underlying assets. → Institutions such as investment banks, central banks, hedge funds, etc. all use derivatives to hedge or reduce their exposures to market variables such as currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity values, bond prices, and commodity prices. Speculators/Traders → The speculators are primary participants in the futures market. → They try to predict the future movements in prices of underlying assets and position themselves accordingly. → Speculators can be individual traders, proprietary trading firms, hedge funds, or market makers. Arbitrageurs → Arbitrage is a deal that produces profit by exploiting a price difference in a product in two different markets. → Arbitrage occurs when a trader executes a simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different markets in order to gain from tiny price differences between them. → The arbitrage trade is often short lives because the arbitrageurs would rush in executing these transactions, thereby closing the price gap at different locations.

Basics of DerivativesEver wonder what derivatives are? Check out this handy guide! 😉 A derivative is a contract or a product whose value is derived from the value of some other asset known as underlying. A variety of underlying assets serve as the foundation for derivatives. These include: → Financial assets such as Shares, Bonds, and Foreign Exchange. → Metals such as Copper, Zinc, Gold, Silver, etc. → Energy resources such as Crude oil, Natural Gas, etc. → Agricultural products such as Wheat, Cotton, Sugar, Coffee, etc. Cotton Futures Gold Futures Derivative Instruments Forwards It is a contractual agreement between two parties to buy/sell an underlying asset at a certain future date for a particular price that is pre-decided on the date of the contract. Both the contracting parties are committed and are obliged to honor the transaction irrespective of the price of the underlying asset at the time of delivery. The terms and conditions of the contract are customized to cater to the needs of both parties. These are Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts, meaning they are a deal you make directly with a bank or a dealer. As a result, there is always counterparty risk involved. Futures Futures are standardized contracts similar to a forward contract, except that the deal is made through an organized and regulated exchange rather than being negotiated directly between two parties. The arrangements come with a fixed maturity date along with uniform terms for all the parties involved. In simple language, futures are exchange traded forward contracts. The futures contract has little to no counterparty risk since the exchange is acting as a mediatory. Options An Option is a contract that gives the right, but not an obligation, to buy or sell the underlying on or before a fixed date and at a stated price. While the buyer of the option pays the premium and buys the right, the writer/seller of the option receives the premium with the obligation to sell/ buy the underlying asset if the buyer exercises his right. There are two types of options: → American → European American options can be exercised at any time prior to their expiration while the European options can only be exercised on the expiration date. In India, European options are used. Swaps A swap is an agreement made between two parties to exchange cash flows in the future according to a prearranged formula. A random variable (such as an interest rate, foreign exchange rate, commodity price, etc.) is used to determine at least one of these series of cash flows at the moment the contract is initiated. Swaps are, broadly speaking, a series of forward contracts. They help the participants manage risk associated with volatile interest rates, currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Thanks for reading! Next week we’ll talk about the types of people who use derivatives and why they exist. Stay tuned! See you all next week. 🙂 – Team TradingView Feel free to check us out on Instagram , YouTube , and Telegram for more awesome content! 💘

How and when should apply which Option's strategyHey everyone! 👋 This post is just for sharing knowledge about Future and Options strategies, First of all, one should build view (bias) on market direction, it may be bullish, bearish, sideways, or there may be some events too, like budget day or quarterly results seasons or may be something else, once view is built then what are the ways to apply futures and options strategies are shown in this post. Options trading may sound risky or complex for beginner investors, and so they often stay away. Some basic strategies using options, can help a novice investor protect their downside and hedge market risk. Options trading is meant to provide a process that defines the selling and buying of options by a trader. The options trading strategies are what make up the options trading. There are various ways that a trader can use the options trading strategies to their advantage. Options trading is a great way to increase your returns as an investor. You will be able to generate profits when the market goes up or when it goes down. However, with so many options trading strategies on offer, you may find it difficult to know which one to choose. This post is showing ideas of the different options strategies and help you choose the right one based on your views. What Are Options Strategies? Options are one of the most flexible and powerful way for investing in the stock markets. Investors can utilize stocks in many ways, including buying and holding onto them to long-term appreciation in value or short-term trading to make a quick buck. However, the stock market is huge, and investors can utilize many sophisticated strategies. The first complex strategy is called a call option. Call options are contracts that enable the holder to purchase a stock or other asset at a specific price within a specific time frame. If the price goes above the strike price, the owner can buy the stock at a lower price and then sell it at a higher price. This can result in a great return, but a loss is possible if the stock doesn't move or move in opposite direction. Types of Options Strategies There are four ways to trade options strategies : call, put, spread, and straddle. First, let's start with the call and put. A call is a contract that gives the owner the right to buy a stock at a specific price on or before the option's expiration date. On the other hand, a put is a contract that gives the owner the right to sell a stock at a specific price on or before the option's expiration date. Spreads and straddles are both strategies used to manage risk. A spread is created by buying the same type of option with the same expiration date but with a different strike price. The strike price is the underlying stock price when the option is exercised. A straddle is created by buying an option with a lower strike price and an option with a higher strike price with the same expiration date. Pros and Cons of Options Strategies Just like selecting a stock to trade or invest in, selecting an options strategy can be a difficult task with risks and potential payouts. The pros and cons of options strategies help you decide which is best for your investing style. Pros: - Lower investment costs​ - Stock options can be used as a way to hedge your investment or portfolio risk Cons: - High risks and losses can occur if you don't research your options strategy​ - Options can only be exercised at the expiration date​ Conclusion Traders can use Options strategies to take advantage of both rising and falling prices of stocks. We hope you have gained a deep understanding of what options strategies are this post. See you all next week. 🙂 RK_Charts Most investors treat trading as a hobby because they have a full-time job doing something else. However, If you treat trading like a business, it will pay you like a business. If you treat like a hobby, hobbies don't pay, they cost you...! Disclaimer. I am not sebi registered analyst.

Strong reversal showing WTI 1 hr Chart Fundamental Development : Oil was up on Tuesday morning in Asia opening higher after falling sharply during the prior session. WTI futures were up 0.97% to $99.50. Both Brent and WTI benchmarks ended the previous session down around 4%, with Brent tumbling as much as $7 a barrel during the session and WTI falling roughly $6 a barrel. China will keep liquidity reasonably ample in financial markets, the People's Bank of China said in a statement on Tuesday, a day after the central bank announced a cut to banks' foreign exchange reserve ratio to support the economy. Short Term Technical View: As per bollinger band indicator WTI future is taking strong reversal at support level 95.80 , Technically RSI Indicator also indicate reversal in the chart and showing bullishness above 50 level and increasing volume at support level showing strong buying , As per my view If WTI break today days high of 99.85 and CB Consumer Confidence data release in U.S. Session also indicate positive so it will be great opportunity to buy WTI futures above 99.85 with the target of 101.75 and take a stop loss at 98.68 . Alternative Scenario : If WTI future will not sustain above 99.50 level and break today low 95.80 and CB Consumer Confidence data release in U.S. Session also indicate negative so it will be great opportunity to short sell WTI futures below 95.80 level with the target of 93 and take a stop loss of 97.50 .
