How to trade that pls give rules

Is it a long straddle , and are you able to consistently profit from buying options on expiry or it’s only starting.

On expiry day time value become negligible hence option become cheap. If i bought rs 50 option sl is 25 where chances are high that it may become 100 to 250. It hapen only in expiry day. Today i capture almost 100 points in 29900pe.

Probably one of my best expiry trades in the recent months …
Sold only calls in the current week contract ( and did some minor trades in next week nifty options )

how many lots you sold ?

probably 600/700

how much margin did you broker gives per lot for intraday

No its naked option. I have 5 yr experience, i know my weak point and GAMBLING PSYCHOLOGY, now going through strict discipline amd making money slowly. Betting small and love to taking small loss change my trading journey .

I am not a huge follower of day trading as I think it is closer to gambling. I never been able to make good profit from short-term trades. I do not know the particular reason behind it but it is happening with me from the first day. Can you suggest me a good advice in this regard?

When you already said it’s gambling. Stay out of it! You need ability to understand market structure and find out using indicators price mechanism.

Simply you cannot say it’s gambling just because trades were not favorable to you.

Which broker and how’s service ?

bro … still testing some leverage brokers

among the leverage brokers , astha has got the best service … they give odin , by default mkt orders for options are disabled and basked orders through odin are difficult
i am trying wisdom now … opened an account with zebu but they are incosnsitent when comes to leverage these days
another one is alice blue…
