Putting out a sample paper trade as follows:
Buy July NF @ 7686; (Spot 7636) lots 15
Buy Aug 76PE @ 167 lots 30;
This is a low risk low profit (high investment) thread, hence the objective will be relatively watered down.
Objective:
We are facing an inevitable time decay of:
50 points in NF in a month and half (July Expiry)
50*50*15 = 37500
25 points in Aug 76PE in a month
25*50*30 = 37500
Total of 75000;
Recovering this 75K is our first objective.
A suitable plan:
Will sell NF, at every 50 point rise.
Will sell PE, at every 25 premium point rise.
Our gains will come from buybacks, the difference. When price retraces, will buy them back as profit target is met and decay is covered.
Will track the present value to know profit and loss at all times.
Present Value:
7686*50*15 = 5764500;
167*50*30 = 250500;
Total: 6015000.
