No one needs a Rolex to tell time- it’s only to signal status.

In life, we trade in five currencies: wealth, skills, beauty, fame and power. Each attracts the other.

But like it or not, wealth sits at the top, because it can buy much of the rest.

#Strategy #Trading
Intraday trading strategy for index and stocks.
Strategy :
15 min Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
1) Define the high and low of the 9:15–9:30 candle.
2) Enter long if price closes above the ORB high on a 5-min candle with volume > 1.5× the 20-period average, and price is above VWAP. Mirror for shorts.
3) Initial stop goes at the opposite end of the ORB or 1× ATR(14, 5-min), whichever is tighter.
4) Target 1.5R partial, trail the remainder at VWAP or a 2-bar low/high. Hard time-stop at 14:30.

Risk Management (assuming capital is Rs 25 lacs)
1) Per-trade risk capped at 1% of capital ie Rs 25,000. Position size = Rs 25,000 / (entry − stop). With a typical 1% ATR stop on a Rs 1,000 stock, that's around 2,500 shares, well within MIS leverage limits.
2) Max 3 concurrent positions to avoid correlation blowups as sectors are highly correlated intraday, for eg, a banking selloff drags the whole financial pack.
3) Daily loss limit at 3% (Rs 75,000) hit it and stop trading for the day, no exceptions.
4) Weekly loss limit at 6%. If you breach the weekly, you take the next week off and review every trade.
5) Position sizing in options needs an extra layer because of gamma. Size options positions by premium at risk; never put more than 0.75% of capital into option premium on a single trade, and use ITM options where the delta gives you stock like behavior with capped downside.
Eg.: Your capital for options is 0.75% X 25 lacs = 18,750 Rs. Say NIFTY is at 26,000 and ORB+VWAP setup fires a long signal.
NIFTY 25,800 CE (200 points ITM, delta ~0.65)
Premium quoted: Rs 280 per unit
NIFTY lot size: 75 , Cost per lot = 280 × 75 = Rs 21,000
Now check against your budget: Rs 21,000 > Rs 18,750. You cannot buy 1 lot. 3 alternatives would be:
a) Skip the trade. The position is too big for your budget.
b) Don't go for lower delta strike; the option movement will be more influenced by theta. Pick a different expiry or Use a futures contract instead, where your risk is defined by stop distance not premium.

Instrument:
For index trading, prefer NIFTY weekly options 1–2 strikes ITM (delta 0.6) to control gamma risk.

For stock screening for ORB trading, previous day scan for:
After 4 PM run a screener over the F&O universe
a) average daily turnover above Rs 100 crore (liquidity floor) AND
b) ATR% between 1.5% and 4% (you want movement, not chaos) AND
c) 5-day relative strength versus NIFTY, distance from 20-day high or low (proximity to a breakout level), and a recent volume surge factor (today's volume vs 20-day average).
For Monday long and short trades stock screener attached along with reasons and trade plan attached in picture.
Those who trade this , please don't directly pick stocks randomly from the picture. The stocks become eligible to trade only if it satisfies intraday ORB conditions mentioned in beginning of the tweet. Qty mentioned in pic is assuming rs 25 lac capital. Scale down if capital is less.

Pre-Market Routine (8:30–9:15 AM)
GIFT NIFTY tells you the gap. Quickly scan Asian markets, crude (energy/auto sensitivity), USDINR (IT/pharma exposure), and the 10Y G-Sec yield. Read overnight headlines for your watchlist names. By 9:10, write down on paper your top 3 long candidates and top 3 short candidates with entry triggers and stop levels. Drop stocks that have Corporate events like results, dividends, etc. due during the day.

[Dr. A. Velumani.PhD. @velumania]

1974 to 1978 I studied in Sri Ramakrishna Misson Vidyalaya, Coimbatore.
Reason to go there :

City colleges fees: Rs 1000 to 3000.
Hotel fees : 200 per month.

In SRMV: (25 kms from city)
College fees: 300
Hotel fees : 75 per month.

Reason to travel by train:
I could not afford even that Hostel fees.
I found a Govt Harijan hostel in city which was free.
But bus fare was 60 paise one way. Monthly Rs. 30.
That also sounded too costly.

A passenger train used to run in that route and its student quarterly pass was Rs. 7.

Reason to talk about this platform:

Train
In: Dep : 5:50 am. Arrival: 6:25 am.
Out: Departure: 6:10 pm. Arrival 6:45 pm.
College started at 9:00 am. Ended any time.

Time to kill:
6:30 am to 9:00 am.
Any time to 6:00 pm.
Average daily 6 hrs.

What I did:
Sat in this Railway platform and studied Maths Physics Chemistry

How did I get BARC job:

My 1000 days and 6000 man hours intense focus on Avagadros, Ohms and Pythagoras

Those days my mother was only earning member of family. Rs. 3 a day. So I had to do all sacrifice to get a degree without denting her arithmetics much. She gave her 4 bangles to pay my college fees.

What I wish to say is:
“Fortunately I was poor”.

Be it college or Career or business
“Patience, Focus, Frugality and Discipline “ Gives slow but sustainable success.
I took my wife to show how a railway platform made a Scientist. Pic :2015.
