Hi AW10, I have gone through your thread and inspired by your approach. I successfully attempted a few trades based on your strategy and benefited. I would like to construct spreads based on Banknifty. I know that 100 points difference is ideal for Nifty strike prices. What should be the ideal strike difference in the case of Banknifty. Because of wild move in the premium price of Banknifty , I think atleast 200 points difference will be alright in strike difference. What is your good suggestion on this and taking the spread position on banknifty. Kindly reply with your experience and with some illustrations. Thanking you in anticipation.
 
All,

Need some advice to salvage my position in tatamotors. I entered in a ratio call spread. Last week, I bought a 250 call at 11 and sold TWO 260 calls at 6.7. My logic at the time was that tatamotors will not corss its life time high of Rs. 274 and the spread was tuned towards that.
now I know my assumption is not correct.
250 call is at Rs. 36.5 and 260 call is at 27.5. I sold one of the 260 calls at 25.2 yesterday.

Now, I'm left with a bull call spread of one 250 call(long) and 260 call (short). currently, I'm at around Rs.20K loss.

My question to the Punters is:
Can this situation can be salvaged to minimize/eliminate loss?

thanks for all your input.

Regards,
Jaya

Swamy,
you got to be careful. The price OptionsOcracle uses is the index. The futures contract traded around Rs.100 more than the index. Comparing the close price, you can see that the index is at 5429 and the april futures contracts is at 5517. So the difference is ~Rs. 90. There is some risk.

However, your point is taken that there can be risk free trades.

register1803,

What you have asked is called as "short condor". google it. You lose money between 5300 and 5600. You will profit outside of this range.
