Ratio Analysis

Ratio analysis isn't just comparing different numbers from


.
the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. It's
comparing the number against previous years, other companies,
the industry or even the economy in general

How much an individual trader/investor will be capable to do so?


Need a simpler way to identify potential winners and earn from it.

Limitations of Fundamental Analysis
Time Constraint – How much time do you have?

Based on estimates,
. assumptions & forecasts – You are at the mercy of
what management says

Bias of the analysts – At the mercy of analysts’ interpretation/interests

Difficult to project future growth

Specific to company & industry

Difficult to estimate fair / intrinsic value

Indicators
Technical indicators are mathematical calculations based on the price, volume, or open
interest of a security or contract. By analyzing historical data, technical analysts use
indicators to predict future price movements.

 There are, literally, hundreds of technical indicators used to generate buy and sell signals.

 Applying right combination of indicators at right time and on right type of trends gives
profitable results

 Trend indicators, Oscillators

 Some of the most useful indicators:


 Stochastics
 Relative Strength Index (RSI)
 MACD
 Bollinger Bands
 ADX
 Accumulation/Distribution
© 2018 Tarachand Dewangan
Stochastics
 Objective:
 It compares where a security's price closed relative to its price range over
a given time period.

 Application:
 Buy when the Oscillator (either %K or %D) falls below a specific level
(e.g., 20) and then rises above that level.
 Sell when the Oscillator rises above a specific level (e.g., 80) and then falls
below that level.
 Buy when the %K line rises above the %D line and sell when the %K line
falls below the %D line.

Relative Strength Index (RSI)
• What it does
Ratio of average price changes on up days to average price
changes on down days.

• Objective:
– A indicator that shows comparative price strength within
a single security.
– It can be used for Chart formations, Support/Resistance,
Failure Swings and divergence.

• Application:
- Positive and negative divergence analysis
- Oscillator to gauge overbought/oversold levels

Divergences
 A divergence occurs when the trend of a security's price
doesn't agree with the trend of an indicator.

MACD- Moving Average Convergence and
Divergence
• Objective:
– The MACD turns trend-following indicator, moving averages, into a
momentum oscillator by subtracting the longer moving average (26 EMA
) from the shorter moving average ( 12EMA).

– As a result, the MACD offers the best of both worlds: trend following and
momentum.

• Application:
– Buy signal is generated when the MACD line ( Solid ) is crossing the Signal
line from below.

– Sell signal is generated when the MACD line is crossing the signal line
from above.
© 2018 Tarachand Dewangan
What MACD Does
• A 9-day EMA of the MACD Line is plotted with the indicator to act as a
signal line and identify turns.

• The MACD Line oscillates above and below the zero line, which is also
known as the centerline.

• When MACD line is in buy mode and above zero line it indicates strong
momentum on the up side.

• When MACD line is in Sell mode and below zero line it indicates strong
momentum on the down side.

Volumes & Open Interest Analysis

 What are some of the significant rules used by


technicians who want to follow the smart money, and
what is the logic of those rules?

© 2018 Tarachand Dewangan


Trading Volume
 Barometer of level of intensity in the market

 If buy/sell signal occurs on a relatively high volume day,


then it is more reliable

 High/low volume is relative to past trading and relative to


specific contract

Volume

Open Interest(OI) Buildup
 Open Interest is the number of Open Contracts for the
respective security in the Future Market.

 Increase in Open Interest in a trending stock ascertains the


strength of the trend, it means Future traders agree with
the current trend of the stock.

 If buy/sell signal occurs with significant increase in OI,


then it is more reliable

Derivatives

 A product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic variables, called
bases (underlying asset, index or reference rate ), in a contractual manner. The
underlying asset can be equity , forex commodity or any other asset.

© 2018 Tarachand Dewangan


Characteristics of Derivatives
Derivatives are vehicles for transferring risk

There value is derived from underlying instrument and it


changes in response to change in the underlying

They are leveraged instruments, i.e. they require little or no


investments

They are settled at a future date

Participants in Derivatives Markets

 Hedgers - Operators, who want to transfer a risk component of their portfolio.


 Speculators - Operators, who intentionally take the risk from hedgers in pursuit of
profit.
 Arbitrageurs - Operators who operate in the different markets simultaneously, in
pursuit of profit and eliminate mis-pricing.

Derivatives Instruments
 Forwards
 A forward contract is customized contract between two
entities, where settlement takes place on a specific date
in the future at today’s pre-agreed price.

 Futures
 An agreement between two parties to buy or sell an
asset at a certain time in the future at a certain price.
Standardized exchange-traded contracts.

 Options

Futures
 Index futures are the future contracts for which underlying is the cash market index.

 Stock Futures are the contracts for which underlying is the cash stock. Ex – RIL, HDFC

 For example: BSE may launch a future contract on "BSE Sensitive Index" and NSE may
launch a future contract on "S&P CNX NIFTY".

Futures Vs Options
FUTURES OPTIONS
Futures contract is an agreement to buy or In options the buyer enjoys the right and
sell specified quantity of the underlying not the obligation, to buy or sell the
assets at a price agreed upon by the buyer underlying asset.
and seller, on or before a specified time.
Both the buyer and seller are obliged to
buy/sell the underlying asset.

Unlimited upside & downside for both Limited downside (to the extent of
buyer and seller. premium paid) for buyer and unlimited
upside. For seller (writer) of the option,
profits are limited whereas losses can be
unlimited.
Futures contracts prices are affected Prices of options are however, affected by
mainly by the prices of the underlying a)prices of the underlying asset, b)time
asset remaining for expiry of the contract and
c)volatility of the underlying asset.
© 2018 Tarachand Dewangan
Options
 Options are instruments whereby the right is given by the option seller to the option buyer
to buy or sell a specific asset at a specific price on or before a specific date.
• Option Seller - One who gives/writes the option. He has an obligation to perform, in case
option buyer desires to exercise his option.
• Option Buyer - One who buys the option. He has the right to exercise the option but no
obligation.
• Call Option - Option to buy.
• Put Option - Option to sell.
• American Option - An option which can be exercised anytime on or before the expiry date.
• Strike Price/ Exercise Price - Price at which the option is to be exercised.
• Expiration Date - Date on which the option expires.
• European Option - An option which can be exercised only on expiry date.
• Exercise Date - Date on which the option gets exercised by the option holder/buyer.
• Option Premium - The price paid by the option buyer to the option seller for granting the
option. © 2018 Tarachand Dewangan
The strike price

The option’s strike is the fixed amount


per share at which the option can be
exercised. “Exercise” means buying 100
shares (with a call) or selling 100 shares
(with a put) at the fixed strike price.

A call owner may exercise a call when the current market price is higher than the fixed
strike.

A put owner may exercise a put when the current market price is lower than the fixed
strike.
Expiration

Every option expires on a specific date,


called the “expiration date.”

This is the third Saturday of the expiration month; the last trading day is the third
Friday of expiration month.

After expiration, every option that was not closed or exercised becomes worthless.
Call Option Put Option

Option Buyer Buys the right to buy the Buys the right to sell the
underlying asset at the Strike underlying asset at the Strike

Price
Option pricing
 Factors contributing value of an option
 price of the underlying stock
 time until expiration
 volatility of underlying stock price
 cash dividend
 prevailing interest rate.
 Intrinsic value: difference between an in-the-money
option’s strike price and current market price
 Time value: speculative value.
Option Price Components
Option prices to security price
Option prices - time to expiry
Option price – Volatility of stock price
Implied Volatility

 Implied volatility is the second most important price determinant of stock options
other than the price of the stock itself.

 Implied Volatility estimate the underlying asset's possible magnitude of move to


either direction.

 The higher the Implied Volatility, the more the stock is expected to move and hence
a greater possibility that the underlying asset will move in your favor.
Implied Volatility

 The lower the Implied Volatility, the more stagnant the stock is expected to be and
hence the lower the possibility that the stock will move in your favor.

 The higher the implied volatility of the underlying asset, the higher the extrinsic value
of its options will be and the more expensive those options become due to a greater
possibility that it will end up in your favor profitably.
Implied Volatility

 Mathematically, the factors that affect implied volatility are the exercise price, the
riskless rate of return, maturity date and the price of the option.

 Implied volatility tends to rise in a bear market and drop in a bull market. In a bear
market, investors and traders alike usually rush into put options for speculation
or hedging purpose all at once while in a bull market, the buying of call options tend
to be more spread out and less "hurried".
More Option “Moneyness”

 “In the Money” options have a positive intrinsic value.


 For calls, the strike price is less than the stock price.
 For puts, the strike price is greater than the stock price.

 “Out of the Money” options have a zero intrinsic value.


 For calls, the strike price is greater than the stock price.
 For puts, the strike price is less than the stock price.

 “At the Money” options is a term used for options when the stock price and the strike
price are about the same.
Option risks / Option Greeks

 Delta: the sensitivity of option value to a unit change


in the underlying asset (hedge ratio)
 Gamma: The responsiveness of delta to unit changes
in the value of the underlying asset
 Theta: The sensitivity of option value to change in
time
 Vega: The sensitivity of option value to change in
volatility
 Rho: The sensitivity of option value to changes in
interest rate
Option Pain / Max Pain
“In the options market, wealth transfer between option buyers and sellers is a zero sum game. On
option expiration days, the underlying stock price often moves toward a point that brings maximum
loss to option buyers. This specific price, calculated based on all outstanding options in the markets, is
called Option Pain. Option Pain is a proxy for the stock price manipulation target by the option selling
group”.

 The 7800 strike is the point at which


option writers would lose the least
amount of money, so as per the option
pain theory, 7800 is where the market
is likely to expire for the this series.
 Most traders use this max pain level to
identity the strikes which they can
write. In this case, since 7800 is the
expected expiry level, one can choose to
write call options above 7800 or put
options below 7800 and collect all the
premiums.

Short Sell Opportunities in Future Market

 Negative crossover in MACD, weekly chart. Sell in each rally based on Stochastic
 Head & Shoulder Pattern, breakdown below neckline
 Breakdown after a Trading Channel, or a long consolidation zone
 Surge in OI with Price Breakdown, quick short sell opportunity
 Negative Divergence in the Oscillators like RSI from a strong resistance area

Trading

© 2018 Tarachand Dewangan


Parabolic SAR
 Developed by Welles Wilder, the Parabolic SAR refers to a price-and-time-based
trading system.

 SAR stands for “stop and reverse,” which is the actual indicator used in the
system. SAR trails price as the trend extends over time.

 The indicator is below prices when prices are rising and above prices when
prices are falling. In this regard, the indicator stops and reverses when the price
trend reverses and breaks above or below the indicator.
Parabolic SAR
Parabolic SAR
 SAR follows price and can be considered a trend following indicator. Once a
downtrend reverses and starts up, SAR follows prices like a trailing stop. The
stop continuously rises as long as the uptrend remains in place. In other words,
in an uptrend and continuously protects profits as prices advance.

 Once price stops rising and reverses below SAR, a downtrend starts and SAR is
above the price. SAR follows prices lower like a trailing stop. The stop
continuously falls as long as the downtrend extends. It continuously protects
profits on short positions

Trading Strategies
Basic Strategies in Option Trading

 Hedging: Have stock, buy puts

 Hedging: Have stock, sell calls ( reduce cost of holding, risk of losing upside)

 Speculation: bullish stock, buy calls or sell puts

 Speculation : bearish Stock, buy put or sell calls


There are Three Basic Option
Trading Strategies
 Take a position in an option and the underlying.

 Take a position in 2 or more options of the same type (This is called


a spread)
 Same type means:
 Use only calls –or-
 Use only puts

 Take a position in a mixture of calls and puts


(This is called a combination.)
Long Call Option
 Market Opinion - Bullish
 Most popular strategy with investors.

Advanced Strategies

Six option strategies are especially interesting in the way they allow you to leverage capital,
reduce risks, and control shares of stock.

These six are:

1. Covered call.
2. Ratio write.
3. Variable ratio write.
4. Insurance put.
5. Collar.
6. Synthetic stock.
Combinations, I.
 A Long Straddle is formed by a long call and a long put:
 Both have the same strike and expiration date.
 What is the worst possible value for the underlying at expiration?
 In a Short Straddle, one sells the call and sells the put.

Strips and Straps
 Strips and straps are formed by using a different number of calls and
puts. However, all the options share
 The same strike price.
 The same expiration date.

Long 1 Call; Long 2 Puts Long 1 Put; Long 2 Calls

[A] Long Strip [B] Long Strap


Spreads

 Calendar Spreads:
 Use the same strike, but with two different expiration dates.
 Can use either calls or puts.
 The resulting payoff is curved. This is because one option is still ‘alive’ at the expiration date
of the other.

 Ratio Spreads (pg. 430)


 Can use either calls or puts.
 Same expiration, but with two different strikes.
 However, unlike other spreads, the number of options held in each position is not the same.
For example, a one could buy 3 puts with a strike of 30, and sell one put with a strike of 35.
