Trade Log NIFTY June 02In my June 1 update,
I had said
1. As NIFTY approached 9900, VIX rose and there was strong resistance in the zone. I believe this zone will be tested a couple of times in intra day movement before breaking above.
2. There is not much space for long trade until we clear the resistance zone and close above 9930.
3. I think NIFTY will form a consolidation range under 9930 and try breaking out. I need to watch how low it can go to form the lower boundary of the range.
4. 9700 should be a good candidate level lower boundary.
In short, my reading was OK. I anticipated the consolidation to last atleast for couple of days. But NIFTY broke out of 9930, and range is not formed, It took support in 9800 area.
My trades today
1. I squared my 9900 CALL for loss start of the day. This was a big loss.
2. When 2nd touch of resistance was touched, I sold 9900 CALL and covered that quickly for profit one first sign of strength.
3. Then on breakout I sold 9900 PUT and covered it for profit end of the day.
My observations for the day
1. This rally has its 5th positive day. Today NIFTY closed with 1.5% gain.
2. BANK NIFTY outperformed and closed 2.86%. BANK NIFTY closed right at the key level of 20530.
3. INDIA VIX closed 30.12, 2% down
4. Advance Decline ration was ok 36:14, Not as strong as it could be. But BANKNIFTY can drag it along.
My view for tomorrow
1. Tomorrow will be the 6th day of higher highs. NIFTY closed near high of the day and just below strong psychological level 10000.
2. If there are positive global clues, NIFTY can create massive gap and short covering. There is not much overhead resistance till 10383 - 10400.
3. The other thing that I sense is mostly it can do similar thing some consolidation below 10000 and eventually breaking it.
4. Considering BANKNIFTY chart, I am more towards quick break and then continuation of rally on Thursday.
CALL
Purchasing FB calls during June.May's monthly candle closed above April's high.
If price returns to April's high, then I will begin purchasing call options at the 207.50 strike with a July 2 expiration.
Purchasing ACB calls during June.May's monthly candle closed above April's high.
If price returns to April's high, then I will begin purchasing call options at the 11 strike with a July 2 expiration.
Trade Log NIFTY May 29First, I'll start with the review of my yesterdays post. Yesterday, I had posted my view and some important levels that I use on the chart.
I had said
1) Trend is up on daily time frame. Weekly trend is up, provided we dont have huge down on Friday. I think NIFTY will gain / consolidate tomorrow.
2) Tomorrow strategy will be to see the consolidation rage. But I wont carry any near the money positions into next week.
And I had marked levels on the chart, which I used in my trading decisions today.Both points were quite obvious. Good thing, market played out to the levels wells. This is no guarantee, sometimes market coincides with your point of view by chance.
My trades today
1) I sold 9500 CALLs around first resistance and closed it at weak support level of the day.
2) Then when high of the day was tested multiple times, it was broken and I sold 9500 PUT which I squared off.
3) Since INDIA VIX is around 30, I attempted to take few overnight positions. I sold some 9900 CALL options. Lets see how it goes. Its risky.
My observations of the day
1) NIFTY closed positive for the third day in a row. 0.95% for today and around 6.4% in 3 days.
2) NIFTY is now in kind of uncharted territory. Less price action in 9500 - 9900 has very less price history in last 2 months.
3) BANK NIFTY unperformed and did not make new high like nifty.
4) INDIA VIX increased little.
5) Advance Decline ratio 36 to 14.
I dont have conclusions, as I have I would like to wait till Monday to have clear view. I'll also post detailed weekly review coming weekend. But from days action
1) BANK NIFTY is not leading the rise. So it may cause NIFTY;s momentum some consolidation and ranges.
2) Overall trend is up and typical bear market rallies are fast.
3) So far this rally has not give any gaps, so next week some surprise gaps can start occurring.
Trade Log NIFTY May 28First, I'll start with reviewing my yesterdays post
I had said
1. I''ll trade light tomorrow and see how we consolidate, what kind of range we form.
2. I'll wait till Friday, or may be Monday, to really changing strategy clearly on long side. But obviously now Bias is on long side as long as we are above 9000.
As per plan, I traded light and also stopped trading around 1.30PM
My trades today:
1) This trade was pretty simple. I sold 9400 PUT on open and waited for first sign of weakness.
2) Then when there was failure to continue, I sold 9400 CALL and then squared near bottom of the range.
My Observations today:
1) Expiry day today. NIFTY gained 1.88%
2) BANKNIFTY gained 2.45%
3) INDIA VIX fell 4%
4) Advance Decline is 42 to 8. Broader market 1245 to 531. So it was broad based buying.
5) For next week, Option data shows bullish bets, Highest OI at 9000 and 9500.
My reading of the price action.
1) Trend is up on daily time frame. Weekly trend is up, provided we dont have huge down on Friday. I think NIFTY will gain / consolidate tomorrow.
2) Tomorrow strategy will be to see the consolidation rage. But I wont carry any near the money positions into next week.
I have also marked important levels tomorrow.
