food for thought: blue vertical lines represent approx start of new expiry.

 
jan and feb have been tough months as markets have moved large so number of shiftings have been more. it is lovely period when moves are not that brisk and slope is very moderate.

Comparing 7200 pairs this series and previous. Interesting It may be ITM at some period ATM at other series. ITMs are worth more than ATMs

Anyways if someone had sold any 2 pairs in option in most stocks/index in thursday evening. He would have ended up profitable friday evening. Good night
 
Please don't try it. It's very limited profit strategy. The loss can be unlimited. Requires large amount of cash in hand for margin and mtm funding
Obvisouly not going to try it just coz you are doing it. Wanted to understand the details for knowledge perspective.

Specially short straddle can have unlimited loss and to be not tried in market expecing large moves - like we saw - so wanted to know what risk reward is, how one can manage such trades - so asked you for example

As very few knowledgable traders one comes across who play with such strategies like you are doing - most just play with naked options - make 100% gains in a day and 400% loss the other day.
 
As far as I know,retail traders have to sit in front of terminal, as 100% autotrade is not permitted by sebi.
u need someone to click "submit" button.
Maybe someone might have found a way to circumvent this.
Or u can apply for dealer terminal by submitting relevant NISM certificates.
then fully autotrade will be possible.
Thanks a lot to know that it is possible if one has access to dealer terminal.

Please throw some light on the required certificates.

The concept is to keep short ATM options. Like todays case SGX showing 100 points gap up, shifting from 7000 to 7100 strike will cause problem as they will not gradually crosseach other.

But in case if 7k straddle maintains the lowest value pair tag then there is a strong chance of filling gap or may be continuation in original downward direction.
