Traders & Investors Paradise

In the period from 1st April 2022 to 3rd September 2022, I earned a gross profit Of Rs. 73 lakh and a net profit of Rs 67 lakh.

The strategies deployed were Calendars, Covered Calls, Cash Secured Puts and naked short calls (no Puts).

The capital deployed was about Rs. 4 crore approx which means that my RoI is about 16%. On an annulaized basis, the return is about 25%.

I committed a number of blunders which caused me to lose significant money. Also, the markets were extremely volatile for a part of the year which also led to losses. I will be more circumspect with my trades henceforth.

Last month, the stock markets were in such a bad shape, that a Put of 2000 shares that I had sold of the Bajaj Finance 5800 strike price had devolved upon me and I was forced to take delivery. The stock was sinking fast and so I hurried to sell a Call at the same strike price of 5800.

Unfortunately, in the meantime, the markets have turned from aggressively Bearish to aggressively Bullish. Bajaj Finance shot up an incredible 10.6% today to close at Rs. 7076.



As today is the expiry, no adjustments are possible and I have no option but to give delivery at the strike price of Rs. 5800.

I suffered a (opportunity) loss of Rs. Rs. 23.71 lakhs. The loss is reduced to Rs. 19.35 lakh because I had sold some Puts to salvage the Calls.

Edelweiss and other noted experts like Antique Broking, Prabhudas Lilladher have recoommended a buy of Sharda Cropchem for a target price of Rs. 958.

"We continue to believe that SCC will witness market share gain and margin improvement in subsequent quarters. We retain 'BUY' with a revised target of Rs 958 from Rs 916 earlier, as we roll forward to Q2FY24E," Edelweiss said in the research report.

Sharda Cropchem is presently out of favour because of its poor June quarter results. There is a 41 per cent year-on-year (YoY) reduction in the company's profits.

This was mainly because of the adverse currency movement and forex losses.

The management of Sharda Cropchem is confident of achieving an 18-20 per cent growth in FY23E. t will take corrective measures with regard to the adverse efeect of currency.

PR Sundar revealed that on 19th May, he was carrying Bullish positions (presumably Put shorts). However, this backfired badly because the markets plunged like a stone because of relentless selling by the FIIs.This caused his to suffer a huge MTM loss of Rs. 1 crore.

"It is the worst day of my trading career," he said in a mournful tone.


He also stated that the huge loss had occurred because he had not paid attention to the position sizing and had made many silly mistakes.

"Even after so many years of experience, have gone wrong in position sizing and made few other silly mistakes, markets have chosen to teach me expensive lesson," he stated.
