Asit Baran Pati: The Journey of the Trader

Futures and options trading pose a high risk of failure as an investment strategy. However, Asit Baran, a financial analyst, achieved success due to his expertise in crafting effective strategies and his adeptness in training others to execute them. As a scalper and short-term momentum trader, Asit Baran is one of the few successful options traders and trainers in the Indian stock market.

During the initial phase, he ventured into both cash and futures markets. Despite his professional background being rooted in fundamentals, he lacked the patience required for long-term investing. However, as he gradually began profiting, his interest in the market burgeoned.

Reflecting on those early gains, he attributed them to mere beginner’s luck, devoid of any concrete strategy. He would impulsively trade stocks based on their movement or recommendations he caught wind of on television.

His true awakening to the market came just prior to the 2014 elections when he invested in shares and call options. The substantial surge post-election catapulted his investments nearly threefold in a mere month, igniting a newfound enthusiasm for trading.

As he delved deeper, he found himself trading significant volumes in derivative markets, reaping substantial rewards. At his peak, he was making in a week what he typically earned in a month. 

Eventually, his luck turned, and he found himself in a relentless cycle of losses. Despite his professional competence, his ego prevented him from acknowledging his shortcomings in trading. 

Desperate to recoup his losses, he tried various tactics, including relying on dubious market tips from Indore. However, each attempt proved futile, pushing him further into financial ruin.

Forced to confront his failures, he immersed himself in the literature on trading psychology, finding solace and guidance in books like “Trading For A Living” by Alexander Elder.

Later, when he joined BakAM, the relatively pressure-free job provided him an opportunity to reenter trading gradually. This time, his revamped strategy, understanding, and discipline gave results, and he was back as a full-time trader.

Asit Baran Pati: Strategy

Asit Baran implements a strategy heavily reliant on momentum and trends to drive profits. As part of Asit Baran’s approach, he primarily focuses on weekly Nifty and Bank Nifty options alongside stock futures.

Operating within the framework of two main trading methodologies, Asit Baran engages in “buy-today-sell-tomorrow” (BTST) trades driven by momentum and scalping, guided by signals generated by his systematic approach.

Despite possessing a strong understanding of chart analysis, Asit Baran favors data-driven decision-making, emphasizing metrics such as open interest, option chain, implied volatility, and put-call ratio. Additionally, he utilizes a suite of indicators grouped under trend and momentum, breadth, volatility, and volume to gain a comprehensive view of market dynamics.

Integral to Asit Baran’s strategy is the ranking of indicators, assigning each instrument a Bull or Bear ranking based on 15 key metrics. These rankings inform Asit Baran’s trading decisions, with extreme bullishness or bearishness dictating whether he opts for Calls or Puts and the quantity traded.

Asit Baran underscores the importance of timing, particularly in options buying, where he seeks to capitalize on strong momentum while being mindful of time decay (Theta). By selecting options with a higher intrinsic value than extrinsic value and strikes with a delta value between 0.3 and 0.6, Asit Baran aims to mitigate risk and maximize potential profits.

Furthermore, Asit Baran stresses the need to adapt to changing market conditions, rotating strikes as per index movement to maintain favorable odds. He argues that his approach offers lower risk compared to options selling, where one adverse event can lead to catastrophic losses.

In terms of Asit Baran’s options buying framework, he considers factors such as implied volatility, volatility skew, and timing of entry. High implied volatility prompts caution, favoring shorter-term in-the-money (ITM) options. He looks for opportunities to buy call options with a negative skew, ideally entering during pullbacks to minimize exposure time.

Executing his momentum trading strategy, Asit Baran initiates positions between 1:30 and 2:00 PM, scaling in as trades move favorably. If a position turns against him, Asit Baran swiftly exits to mitigate losses, adhering to disciplined risk management principles.
