imp for options!!

[Kirubakaran Rajendran @kirubaakaran]

Why 0DTE feels broken in 2026? Every option seller I know is saying the same thing this year: "0DTE just isn't paying like it used to." I pulled NIFTY expiry-day data (2020–2026) with Claude AI.

I broke down three things on every 0DTE, hour by hour from 9:20 to 3:00

ATM Implied Volatility,
the spot's high-low range,
and ATM open interest.

The world is heading this way!!

This slide just looks like what I presented at CFA society .. I was not so direct otherwise all degree holders will vent their anger at me.

If you think western world is different then I must tell you that an uber driver makes more than a bank teller ( who also has to dress like a celebratory) .. it is common to see 2/3 degree holders driving uber or doing DoorDash in SUV where the monthly loan payment is USD 1000 on 7-10 year terms.

80% of all AI startups in the world are trying to disrupt white collar worker and improve productivity

Old world

8 human beings + 2 machines

Brave new world

2 Human beings ( critical thinkers) + 8 machines.

Within 5 years UBI will become a buzz word.

@itsTarH Global fiber preform/glass tightness. If AI buildout pulls Corning's preform output toward CPO-grade specialty fiber, the standard SMF market globally tightens, helping pricing. That's a second-derivative

@Normal_2610 Isnt this similar to C&I where cleanmax and Ampin operate?

[PKC @P_Kumar_C]

@Shashank1171 Noticed*

[PKC @P_Kumar_C]

@Shashank1171 One thing we notices while tracking these market exchanges is, a different expiry day per exchange ensures turnovers are intact. Provided mcx and nse have different expiries, they should be ok. Nse might be aggresive in pricing though (trx charges)

Now do it on orderbook.. Us is high and has close 26-27% margins..

[Tijori @Tijori1]

US Solar Panel duties at 126%

Sensitivity company wise as per our data

[PKC @P_Kumar_C]

At 20 now.. Started with less than a lakh 13 yrs ago.. Added few lakhs in between through loans, salaries etc.

[Abid Hassan 🇮🇳 @abidsensibull]

Don’t get fooled by people saying it’s super easy to become multi crorepati from trading

I don’t know a single person who has gone from a few lakhs to two digit crores from trading. And I see a ridiculous amount of data on how much traders make. So yeah, source = trust me, bro

[PKC @P_Kumar_C]

Atleast lets pay lesser corp tax than individual 40% tax.. a breather!!

[Deepak Shenoy @deepakshenoy]

Nbfcs with no access to public funds and assets upto 1000 cr don't need rbi reg!

This is huge! This basically removes the entire. 50:50 rule that prevents us from creating companies only for the purpose of investing!

[PKC @P_Kumar_C]

@exencial_RP Have been tracking this since 2015-16, and there was always a doubt about dystar. Bought some shares today after the news, lets see. As of now, it is just cash in the books. Lets see what they do with this..

This is a brilliant take on what is happening all over the world

Traders talk about theta, decay, but often miss out VRP.
VRP is the gap between what the market prices as future volatility and what actually happens.

TL;DR:

ATM straddle = expected move

Straddle ≈ 0.8 × Spot × IV × √T

Straddle = MAD

Vol = SD

NIFTY straddle (₹120) implied a 0.46% move (~9% IV)

Learn to read the straddle → you understand the market’s fear better than most.

Thread: The Straddle Is the Market’s Expected Move

https://t.co/U2nwyZnkXe

1/
Most people look at the ATM straddle and think “volatility.”
Wrong.
The straddle is the market’s expected move — the over/under line.

[PKC @P_Kumar_C]

6/
This is why traders use the straddle:
It’s not theoretical.
It’s not model-dependent.
It’s the market telling you how much movement it has priced in.
No direction.
Just magnitude.
