Checklist for Indian Stock Options Traders M Kanagasabapathy   According to SEBI , a bout 89% of individual F&O, options traders lost, with average loss of ₹1.1 lakh. SEBI's updated report shows 93% of individual traders incurred losses.   General risk management, for minimizing the loses 1. Never risk more than 1.5 % of trading capital. For 1,00,000, maximum risk is 15,000.   2. Hedging the position reduces risk of sudden events - Selling a Call option at deep OTM and buying at ATM.   3. Physical delivery risk (critical for stock options)- Since stock options in India are physically settled, avoid holding at ITM on expiry.   4. Always place, correct stop-loss.   5. Never average a losing options, instead take hedging.   6. Book partial profits intermittently.   7. Check Liquidity and volume.   8. Check News and Events.   9. Brokerage cost is significant, eat s...

Get the live price of NIFTY and Bank NIFTY stocks in Excel sheet

Image
Fetch the last traded price (LTP) as well as Price Change (%) for NIFTY 50 (50 stocks) and Bank NIFTY (12 banking stocks) in Excel sheet.   With this the fetched data can be analyzed to predict the price movements of both NIFTY 50 as well Bank NIFTY in Excel.   With the Refresh Button the price data can be updated.   Since the Excel files are VBA Macro based, enable the contents, and allow to fetch the data. ERRORS These works are in beta stage, so there are many unexpected errors. Due to the lag to fetch the data from the NSE server, Run-Time Error can occurs. See the screenshot.

Capacitors: Calculations & Simulations on Charging, Discharging Time & Voltage

Image
          Assume charging a completely discharged capacitor, under resistance, R with an applied potential, E having the capacitance, C. Potential across the capacitor is E c . At time, t = 0s or t o :   E C < E; E C = 0 V. If it is fully charged then E C = E and t = t c . ‘E’ is the maximum potential attained by the capacitor. Time to reach maximum potential is: (t c – t o ).   At any given time, ‘t’ on charging in between t o and t c the potential of the capacitor, E C is related to the maximum potential, E by the relation, where ‘t’ is the elapsed time during charging ‘R’ is the resistance in Ω ‘C’ is the capacitance in F.   The product of R and C is called the time constant and is represented as, τ. So, τ = R × C.   Unit for τ τ = R × C = Ω × {F} = Ω × {C × V –1 } C = Charge in Coulombs = A × s = Ω × {A × s × V –1 } = = Ω × ...
