Hi Joy:

Thanks once again.

Hi Nautilus,

It seems due to not providing clear instructions; we are ended with an open call position, which is very risky. It is short 200 Calls (2 Contracts) SP2480. We should have not sold 200 Nifty futures at 2450. Anyhow mistake has been made and now it is time to correct it. Therefore, please buy 200 Nifty futures as soon as market opens and settles. Usually it takes about an hour for market to settle down. Your attempt should be to buy at the lowest possible price; in any case you should not go above 2450.

What is going on with position of Short 1000 put options SP2330, if you feel it was not executed, then please try to sell it now. You must get at least 10 rupees as premium per put option. If the premium is not there then we will wait and see how the trade develops.

In the mean while, should you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Regards,

Wastej

Hi Wastej:

Once again thanks for pointing out the errors. I will take the following actions on Monday:

1) Buy 200 Sep Nifty futures 2450 or better
2)Sell 1000 Sep Puts (sp 2330) at a premium of 10 or better

Please revert if anything needs doing.

Thanks.

Hi Wastej:

Here are the Friday valuations.

Closed out profits on Long Sep Futures = Rs 67200

Open p/l on options Sep:
1) Long puts (sp 2340) = (9-46)x2000 = Rs - 74000
2) Short calls(sp 2480) = (21.40-21.55)x200 = Rs - 30
3) Short puts(sp 2350) = (12.70-12.50)x400 = Rs 80

Total P/l = 67000+80-74000-30 = Rs - 6750(loss)

Open positions:

No futures
2000 short puts (sp2340) @ 46
400 short puts (sp 2350) @ 12.50
200 short calls (sp 2480) @ 21.55

Hi Wastej:

Here are the updates on new positions.

Long 200 Sep Futures @ 2455.00
Could not sell 1000 Sep puts(sp2330)

Here is the p/l summary:

Closed out profits on Sep futures = Rs 67200

Open position valuations:
Long 200 Sep Futures (2477-2455) = Rs 4420
2000 Long Sep puts (sp2340) @46 = Not traded today so no settlement price today. Based on friday (9th sep) close(Rs9) the open loss would be Rs(74000)

400 short puts (sp 2350) =(12.50-7.70)x400 = Rs(1920)
200 short calls (sp 2480) =(21.55-33.85)x200= loss (Rs 2460)

Total = (67200+4420+1920-74000-2460) = Rs (2920) Loss

Open positions:

Long 200 Sep Futures@ 2347
Long 2000 Sep puts (sp 2340) @ 46
Short 200 Sep calls (sp 2480) @ 21.55
Short 400 Sep puts (sp 2350) @ 12.50

No execution on 1000 Sep Puts(sp 2330) - not traded

Hi Nautilus,

I think there is a mistake in calculating profit and loss of the trade.

1) You have to take in account the open position profit of 200 Nifty future contracts, which is 21600.00 (2455-2347=108x200=21600).

2) You should have profit instead of loss on your position of 400 short puts. You sold them at 12.50 and the current price is 7.70 (As per your posting) thus giving us profit and not loss.

3) You do not have profit from your short 200 Calls as you sold them at 21.55 and the current price is 33.85 (As per your posting). Thus giving us loss and not profit.

4) Please check your holdings also, there is a mistake there also, it seems it was typo error instead of puts you typed calls.

Please correct these mistakes and post the correct profit and Loss of the trade.

Regards,

Wastej

To Day's prices (Name : open - high - low - LTP )
Nifty Fut : 2453.00 - 2474.00 - 2452.15 - 2473.10
Nifty Put SP 2340 : No Trade (prev. close 9)
Nifty Put SP 2360 : 8.05 - 10.00 - 8.05 - 10.00

Profit / Loss calc.

Long Nifty Fut
Closed out profit of 32000.00
Plus open profit 400 * (2473.10 - 2347) = 50440.00
Total Profit (closed) 32000.00 + (open) 50440.00 = 82440.00

Long Nifty Put SP 2340
2000 * (9 - 46) = (Loss) 74000.00

Short Nifty Put SP 2360
200 * (26 - 10) = 3200.00

Short Nifty Put SP 2380
300 * (21 - 13.00) = 2400.00

Short Nifty call SP 2380
200 * (104 - 104) = 0.00

Short Nifty call SP 2460
200 * (29 - 45.00) = (Loss) 3200.00

Total Profit = 82440.00 - 74000.00 + 3200.00 + 2400.00 + 0.00 - 3200.00 = 10840.00

Hi Harish,

You are getting even better than me.

I must admit mistake on my part. I meant 2480 and I typed 2380 in my last suggestion to you for the sale of 200 Nifty future Calls. Any way I wanted every one to know this fact, as this was the right way of handling the trade.

I still can steer the trade you executed, though it will make a difference of at least 5 to 8 thousand rupees of profit.

I will post the direction from here soon.

Keep coming back.

Regards,

Wastej
