Market Analysis - Technical View
Tracked by: 2 Boarders
I refer to intraday technical charts and decide my intraday strategy. Yesterday, after market opening, charts told me to buy PUTs. Now, I play with straddles, i.e. I buy the Nifty PUT and CALL of the same strike price. I had 3900 straddle that I took position in 2 days back. So, when charts gave me sell signal, I squared off my CALL and left the PUT alone and Nifty went down and down and down.
Towards the end of the day, when I saw market near 3800, I squared off my 3900 PUTs and now took position in 3800 straddle. This ensures that I book profit as well as stay protected.
For somebody who isn`t so comfortable reading charts, can simply hold on to the 3900 straddle until it becomes profitable and then square off the whole straddle and take position in another straddle closer to Nifty value.
Thanks,
Rudra...

Nifty October 3800 Put has shed 116150 shares in OI. 113797 Contracts were traded on Friday at an average price of 132.67. Other F & O data indicates that the support at 3800 is loosing ground. I expect Nifty to close below 3800 very soon....

Contracts are available only for the next 3 years... So cant trade in 2012 contracts now. there used to be some contracts in 2010 also. The trades you see are highly illiquid. Many times there is a single trade of a few thousand contracts (so i think some of these trades could even be traps - as they give an impression of price discovery, but there is no real price discovery).
regards...

Dear Raj,
Q
CE is a european call option - it can be exercised only after the trading session closes on the DAY THE CONTRACT EXPIRES. All index options are european options.
CA is an american call option - it can be exercised on close of trading on ANY DAY Till the day of expiry... All options for individual stocks are American options.
IT IS VERY RISKY TO WRITE american options.
IT IS QUITE SAFE TO WRITE european options.
UQ
Any logical reasons for choosing european for index and American for Stocks?Regards

We have seen enough bearish grip and should get ready for a bull run here after. Normally after every crash market will rebound with vigor. Now we must be ready to earn money by taking short term call. Normally the most hammered counter has a very bright chance. Metals are the most hammered counter. But I see there is no chance for this counter to rally. It looks weak even after the crash. Power sector are the ones which are trading range bound. There may not be any hope for immense gain in ST. Banking counters are looking solid and I do not know why. May be it is a good call for decent gain ST. PNB, UCO. SBI are looking strong and one can take position for decent gain. Oil marketing and refinery sectors are the other sector which may prove multi bagger under crude oil bearishness. I consider Gail, Petronet LNG, MRPL. Chennai Perto, and Bongaigon excellent picks. Apart from that there may be some stock specific rally like Bajaj holding, Bombay Deying, Mahendra Gesco and some telecom stocks like MTNL and TATATELE Services.
Dear boarders please include your picks for short time gain in this thread. Please only long no shorts.
With regards
aahoo

Mohan,
Another excellent trade in my opinion would be - sell a Jun2011 5700 CE at 500, and buy a Dec 2008 Nifty future with the intention of rolling it over till Jun 2011.
Margin requirement - 65000-70000
Less (premium received for 5700 call) - 25000
Reserve (assuming a Nifty low of 2800) - 60000
------------------------------------------------
Net requirement ------------ 100000
Maximum profit -------------- 170 * 50 = 85000.
Note that the reserve needs to be an FD and can earn interest... So effectivly you may end up doubling your money in 2 years by executing this trade once, and then forgetting abou it -- except rolling the future over every one quarter.

Dear shareviews,
My kind of calculations have worked for me in INDIA till now.
Do you think INVESTORS were responsible for worldmarket fluctuations of 2007 to 2008 period in Metals, USD , stocks , commodities etc !
In ANY market , SPECULATORS and OPERATORS are ALWAYS there.
They make you think what they want to and they trade just in opposite direction.
My view is, Operators are in BUY MODE at present .
Rest is all crap.
They were the ones who had initiated shorts since Oct2007 , they are wise and deserve standing ovation. Now as per my view they have ALREADY covered their shorts, have INCREASED their longs or holdings in the companies they are interested in .
By August 2009 to March 2010 we will have DOUBLE TOP in bse30 index and nifty50 index is VERY PROBABLE POSSIBILITY as per my own personal view based on my limited knowledge on charts.
We may even cross previous tops if enough shorts are created at lower levels by fools.
2 weeks to go now for end of bearish sentiments.
For level crazy readers- 12050, 11600, 11200 for bse 30 index level.
Usually when stocks are available cheap and at attractive rates , and even when there is enough cash available , most investors do not buy anything at all as they are scared.
They buy near tops and then feel sorry.
3 day simple moving average will be good friend who will let you know when you may buy. Any close above 3 day simple moving average now onwards will signal new fresh upmove for the market.
For smart ones - hint- USA and INDIA elections
worst quarterly result announcements will play pivotal and important role.
Thank you all responsible for boarder of the day
warm regards
Vipul Lashkari

Winwath,
From 2006 to 2008 you have tripled ur money trading Indian markets. Kudos.. this apart from a regular job i presume? If u r trading for a tripling of money in market with such risks its not worth it if one has to give up on as job... so i presume u have used stockmarkets to add to ur networth, ur main income being ur job? How old are u by the way.. if u started in 1996 assuming u were 16 you should be 27 now?
Most men on MMB have begun stockmarkets at the age of 16... thats why the presumption....

I think that is too personal a question ;) But I dont mind.
1996 - Started with Goldman Sachs - $4000.00 starting capital.
Used to purchase IPO shares of a company called XYLAN. Was alloted 100 shares at $26.00 = 2600.00 Flipped it on the market open on the 2nd day for $55.00. My very first trade.
By the end of 1998 - my portfolio was worth about $12k after paying $3k in taxes for short term trading.
1998 - 1999 - made a bunch on several IPOS - I open new account with a new broker and flip the shares on the first or 2nd day for massive gains
Couple of examples:
Inktomi - zoomed to over $150.00 during the 1st week. Flipped it for close to $200
By end of 1999 - was sitting on a pile of cash - even now my IRA with ameritrade is $124K - I was contribution $2k per year since 1996 - so in 12 years 24k is now 124k - which is right now 80k in cash and 14k in stocks.
Relocated to India in 2006 - spend 18 months studing the market. My very first trade here was a short sale.
Since March 4, 2008 have done 44 trades - I lost 29 of them - but my losses are limited to 5% of my capital invested.
I made money in only 15 trades.
The 15 trades made me an avg of 110% of capital deployed. I only trade options - NIFTY and couple heavy weights like Reliance, Infosys & ICICI
I look for liquid options - dont want to trade in options where less than 10000 contracts are trades on a daily basis
In India - started with 75K and now am at 210K - I will end up paying close to 20K in taxes.
I may avoid that as I will write it off against losses in my MF`s

After such a massive sell off the TRIN of NYSE is 0.08.... which is height of overbought lol and with such a divergence where the dow sold off but NYSE went up this is a highly bullish indicator. Of course i am comparing dow prices and NYSE TRIN.It would be better to compare DOW TRIN AND DOW PRICES instead which i will do from today.
Watch this space, let me check DOW`S TRIN.
The DOW however shows accumulation so the TRIN of dow should be overbought.
Dow closed lower though LOL... but sometimes these bullish scents are picked by the markets before dow picks its own scent and trades in the green. I guess we should be optimistic for the coming week.
However let me check Nifty and DOW TRIN.
Just plain views, i have been right only 20% of the times so dont trade based on these predictions....
