When it comes to options trading it is very important that you have a trade plan. Without a trade plan, you are not trading but speculating. You should be very careful when the trade is live. This is possible only when you have a trade plan.
Every step of the journey when the trade is live should be there in your mind like when to take a stop loss and when to take the profit out. However, this simple thing is not followed when the time comes.
Whether you’re experienced or just started to trade, mastering these small but critical aspects can make all the difference:
- Having a Trading Plan: A well-thought-out trading plan is your roadmap to success. It keeps you on track and helps you avoid impulsive decisions that can lead to losses.For example, I bought an option for ₹2,500/- I will sell it at 10% profit or 10% loss. Then it would be best if you exited at any cost at either of these two prices – ₹2,750/- (profit) or ₹2,250/- (loss). Do not break this plan at any cost. Keep the target stop loss in the system and leave the trade. Ideally, the profit should be double that of the loss. I have given the above example just to help you understand.
- Following Your Trading Plan: It is one thing to have a plan; it’s another to stick to it. Discipline is the cornerstone of consistent profitability in options trading. Almost 90% of the time if you break the trading plan you will suffer a huge loss.
- Having a Trading Journal: Your trading journal is your archive of lessons learned. It helps you track your trades, identify patterns, and refine your strategies over time. You can also check your trading journal to know what works for you and what doesn’t.
- Periodically Reviewing Your Journal: The best traders are their harshest critics. Regularly reviewing your journal allows you to learn from both your successes and mistakes.
- Monitoring the Greeks: Understanding and tracking the Greeks can help you fine-tune your option positions and manage risk effectively.
