How to Trade Options on the Nifty (Indian Index)

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Options on the Nifty are mainly used by large fund managers to hedge their cash positions against large losses. They are also used by institutional and retail investors to speculate on the direction of the markets. This article is for someone who understands the basics of options and is interested in trading options in the Nifty. It details on the contract specifications, expiration dates and liquidity on the NSE for Nifty Options. It does not help with the Option Basics. Follow the steps to learn how to trade options on the Nifty.

Steps

1. Open an account with an Indian Brokerage. Activate the Derivatives Trading (some brokerages refer to it as F&O account) facility and transfer money to the separate Derivative account. Check out the Brokerage firms execution rate and reliability before creating an account with them.
   
2. The options contracts are European style and cash settled and are based on the popular market benchmark S&P CNX Nifty index.
   
3. 1 Lot or Contract of Nifty Option consists of 50 shares. 90% of the trades take place in the Near Expiration Contracts and liquidity is good.
   
4. S&P CNX Nifty options contracts have 3 consecutive monthly contracts, additionally 3 quarterly months of the cycle March / June / September / December and 5 following semi-annual months of the cycle June / December would be available, so that at any point in time there would be options contracts with atleast 3 year tenure available. On expiry of the near month contract, new contracts (monthly/quarterly/ half yearly contracts as applicable) are introduced at new strike prices for both call and put options, on the trading day following the expiry of the near month contract.
   
5. An option is bought or sold by paying the option price * 50. eg. The Nifty is currently trading at 5018, the May 2010 Exp 5000 call is trading at 137. So, to buy one contract we pay 137*50 = 6850 Rs.
   
6. The most active option in the Nifty normally trades around 2,00,000 contracts. ie. 1,00,00,000 shares.
   
7. The Option moves with the Nifty Futures and not the SPOT Nifty prices. So if the Nifty futures move up, the Calls too move up regardless of the SPOT Nifty price.
   
8. NSE Options expire on the last Thursday of the month. And in case the last Thursday is a holiday then the day before the last Thursday is the Expiration Day.
   

Tips

• If trading or speculating with options, it is best to have a fixed plan before entering a trade, that way there are no emotional decisions involved.
  
• Nifty Options follow Nifty Future prices and not the Nifty Spot price. You have to follow both the Nifty Futures and Nifty Spot prices.
  
• Options are best used to trade intra-day or hedge already existing cash or future positions. Its better to stick with Futures for trading with a longer time frame.
  
• Annual advance brokerage fees can be used to reduce commissions on trades. Money is paid in advance for trades which are taken over the course of the year. Paying advance brokerage significantly reduces the commissions. Most Indian Brokerages offer this facility.
  
• Trend following strategies with stop losses work best for trading.
  
• Take positions giving more importance to the underlying price (in the case, the nifty price) than the option price. Give room for the trade to move and set stop losses with the underlying in mind.
  

Warnings

• Options are very volatile instruments and many factors influence its price.
  
• Unlike futures, options continually loose value and cannot be carried forward.
  
• Volatility, time value and the underlying price all have effect on the option price.
  
• It is always wise to trade only a small portion of the total capital until you understand the risks and rewards.
  
• Stop-losses have to be decided on before entering a trade.
  
• Carrying Option trades to the next day can result in extra commissions and factors like volatility and loss of time value come into effect.
  

Things You'll Need

• An account with a brokerage which supports Derivative Trading.
  
• A Telephone.
  
• Computer with decent Internet Connection (OPTIONAL).
  
• An Online Trading Account (OPTIONAL).

How to Get Started in the Stock Market

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Some basic guidance from a seasoned investor who is also a financial and investment planner.

Steps

1. Try to understand why you want to invest. This is the hardest thing - looking at yourself.
   
2. Search for an area where you hold some intellectual strength. It is tough enough to make money in the markets at the best of times, so why disadvantage yourself by investing in things that you don't understand? You will have areas of expertise that fund managers don't. Use that advantage if you can. Warren Buffett describes this as his 'circle of competence'.
   
3. Do plenty of research. Then do plenty more! There is more valuable information available online than we can possibly imagine.
   
4. Learn to think independently. This is the biggest skill you can learn towards becoming a successful investor.
   
5. Don't forget about dividends. Studies show that dividends make up most of an investors return over the long term. Find a way to reinvest those dividends for improved returns.
   
6. Look for investments, not gambles. Learn to understand the difference.
   
7. Consider a long-term perspective on your investment portfolio--start by building cash in your account in a money-market and then by gradually building a portfolio of mutual funds. During this time read as many books and financial magazines as possible and then start slowly with small amounts in individual stocks building a conservative portfolio before venturing into speculative stocks.
   

Video

Don't hide in a cave when the market is down. Find stocks that will pay off when the bull makes its return.

Tips

• The stock exchange is rarely a place where anyone 'gets rich quick'. Sure, some occasional stocks and shares will rise quickly making their owners money, but rarely will you become rich. Bear in mind that if an investment doubles in one year (which is pretty rare) you needed to be already wealthy to make a lot of money. If you invested a thousand, you will have just 'made' a thousand. You aren't wealthy or rich yet.
  
• Investment risk is lowered by knowledge. Every time. If you are buying shares on the stock exchange, what does the seller know that you don't? What do you know that the seller does not? You can bet your life that the buyer or seller opposite you in any transaction has done some serious research. If you don't do yours, who do you think will win? You or the market?
  
• It might help to find areas in which you have useful knowledge already. Either that or decide on an area and slowly become an expert. For example, if you worked in a bank for 10 years, you must know something about banking. When you read an annual report from a bank, do you laugh and see through the waffle or does it make real sense? If you can see through the waffle of some far off CEO and CFO, you can start to compare the relative prospects in the same market of competing firms. Hey - that could be an opportunity!
  

Warnings

• It isn't easy. If everyone could become a billionaire by investing, Warren Buffett would not be famous. It takes time, study and effort and most importantly - independent thought. Not everyone has the will or stamina to carry that through. Who doesn't suffer setbacks and confidence knocks?
  
• Though it may be a 'hobby', it isn't 'fun'. The world of investment is dominated by investment banks and their bankers. They do all the big deals, float companies, issue bonds, trade stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities and make lots of money. They employ some of the world's brightest young MBAs to figure out new and improved profit making ventures. They do all this because it is a business, with real money and real profits. Nobody is playing around.
  
• If you want to be successful, you too need to view it as a business. Here is big tip number one: if you are interested, go and do some reading about Benjamin Graham. Buy his books and digest. It will take a while, but it is the proper place to start. It was Ben Graham that first coined the idea successful investment is businesslike.
  
• If you really want to do well in investment on the stock exchange, then you need to approach it as if it were your own business. A part-time business perhaps, but still a business. That also means taking your information sources seriously. There are many portfolio tracking systems online, some free and others require monthly payment - get registered to one! There are magazines that follow and report on stock markets and shares each week - subscribe to one!

How to Stop Snoring

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit


If you're a snorer in your household, you're probably getting a lot more sleep than anyone who can hear you. Try the following preventative measures.

Steps

1. Avoid the things that make snoring worse: alcohol, sleeping pills, coffee and rich foods before bedtime.[1] If you regularly take any kind of medication, talk to your doctor about alternatives. Some drugs can make snoring worse, including sleeping pills and sedatives.
   
   • Alcohol, sleeping pills, and other sedatives make your throat muscles relax, narrowing your airway. Large meals and rich food restricts your airway by pushing up on your diaphragm [2]
     
   
   
2. If you sleep on your back, buy yourself a few extra pillows and prop yourself up in bed, rather than lying flat on your back. Also, raise the head of your bed. An easy way to do it is to place several flat boards under the legs at the top end of the bed. A couple of old phone books under each leg should also raise the bed enough to do the trick.
   
3. Sleep on your side. There's a good reason you don't want to sleep on your back: in that position, your tongue and soft palate rest against the back of your throat, blocking the airway. One way people train themselves to stay on their side is by taping or sewing a tennis ball to the back of their shirt, so whenever you roll onto your back, it's very uncomfortable.
   
4. Address any nasal congestion.
   
   • Try taking a decongestant or antihistamine if nasal congestion is causing your snoring. Use these only as a temporary measure if you suspect that a cold or allergy is to blame. Prolonged use of either can be harmful.
     
   • Gargle with a peppermint mouthwash to shrink the lining of your nose and throat. This is especially effective if your snoring is a temporary condition caused by a head cold or an allergy. To mix up the herbal gargle, add 1 drop of peppermint oil to a glass of cold water. (Only gargle - do not swallow.)
     
   • Change your sheets and pillowcases often to relieve nasal stuffiness, alleviate bedroom allergens. Try to vacuum your floors and curtains often too.
     
   • Tape your nose open with nasal strips, available at most pharmacies. They may look odd, but who's looking? Following the directions on the package, tape one of the strips to the outside of your nose before you fall asleep. They work by lifting and opening your nostrils to increase airflow.
     
   
   
5. Try mouthpiece devices. Also known as dental appliances or mandibular advancement splints, these are usually small plastic devices worn in the mouth during sleep to prevent the soft throat tissues from collapsing and obstructing the airway. They do this by bringing your lower jaw forward and/or by lifting your soft palate. Some devices also stop the tongue from falling back over your windpipe.
   
6. Do exercises to firm the tissue associated with your snoring.
   
   • Stick your tongue out as far as you can, then relax. Repeat 10 times.
     
   • Stick your tongue out again, and try to touch your chin. Hold. Repeat with trying to touch your nose. Repeat 10 times.
     
   • Smile as wide as you possible can, hold for 10 seconds, then relax. Repeat this as many times as you can throughout the day.
     
   • Sing La-La-La-La as loud as you can. Hold each La for 3 seconds. Repeat 5 times. Then, repeat singing Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka. Follow that with Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma. This will strengthen your throat so that it does not relax (and thus block air) when you sleep.
     
   • Close your mouth and perform a chewing motion. Make sure molars on both sides move apart, then touch again. Make an "mmmmm" sound as you do this for added affect. Continue for 1 minute. [3]
     
   
   

Stop Snoring Caused By a Sinus Infection

1. Know that sometimes people become snorers because of sinus infections. Snoring is caused during a sinus infection because the mucus blocks the nasal passages.
   
2. Follow some of the tips below to stop snoring when you are suffering from sinus infection:
   
   • Do not forget to take the drugs prescribed by your physician for curing the sinus infection. Reduction of the infection will act as a remedy to stop snoring
     
   • Consider using a sinus/nasal rinse. These are designed in such a way that the debris and mucus formed in the nose is completely flushed out. Rinsing will be helpful in relieving yourself of the snoring.
     
   • You can place a nasal dilator strip on your nose channel. This will open the nostrils and can prevent snoring.
     
   • You can use a menthol scent, which will be helpful in clearing the nose.
     
   • You can try to have a warm shower or bath. Hot moist air will be helpful in draining the mucus from the sinuses, thereby reducing the possibility of snoring.
     
   • You can raise the head portion of your bed. This will be helpful in reducing the amount of mucus draining down and blocking your nasal passages. When nasal passages are not blocked, you will not snore.
     
   
   

Video

Tips

• Lose Weight. Weight loss can reduce your snoring by easing any constriction of the upper airway.
  
• Consider the underlying cause. Discuss with your physician the possibility of a sleep disorder which may be more serious than just the snoring. The current gold standard for obstructive sleep apnea treatment is a CPAP device which opens the airway with pressurized air delivered through a mask or a nose-mounted appliance.
  
• There is surgery available now if your snoring problem is a function of sleep apnea.

How to make money online with Twitter?

Today I made my account on Ad.ly. It is an in-stream advertising service provider that matches top-tier Twitter publishers with top-tier brands. As we all know, Twitter is the fastest growing social networking website on internet. Ad.ly enables advertisers to reach the highly sought-after Twitter audience by connecting brands with the most influential people in the community. Ad.ly can be a good source of revenue for regular twitter users, like me :-) as it enables Twitter publishers to make money from the content they produce on Twitter by sending one tweet every day from advertisers that they approve. Earlier people used to think what is the benefit of wasting hours on twitter every day, now with the help of Ad.ly you can get compensated for your hard work on twitter.








How Ad.ly works?

Ad.ly automatically sends one tweet in your feed every day from advertisers that you approve. With Ad.ly, you approve every ad that is sent in your feed. You set the price per tweet that advertisers pay (by default, the price is 2 $ per tweet, which you can change). When Ad.ly connects you with an advertiser, you will receive a request from the advertiser in your internal dashboard, which you can approve or deny. The request will also be sent to you via email to the address you used when you signed up.
