sorry i dint construct my sentence properly,
i mean to say, as of now i haven't invested anything using this strategy, Can i take this strategy to trade intraday, if i am able to predict that Nifty (Indian Index) is going to lose 10pts ? or maybe when i think it will gain 10pts and have no idea beyond that ? What r the precautions to take ?
I am planning to start using this strategy in a few days (10 day? meanwhile i will finish reading this thread fully) before march contracts ends, so that i will get to trade with low premiums. i am not excepting more then Rs170 Net profit that credits in my trading account, for squaring 1spread/a-pair of-puts. i have to pay a brokerage of Rs.35 per lot in it.
please advice me everything in detail.
thanks in advance.
hi,
this may be difficult intraday. reasons:
1. time decay is not significant intraday.
2. spread does not expand or contract that much on a 10 point move.
3. with current system, you have enter both legs of the spread order separately which will be a problem for a 10 point profit move on spot.
credit spread works great when given enough time.
If you think you are good at relatively predicting a 10 point move on nifty, you could :
a. trade deep in the money options. [better delta]. use SL if proven wrong - direction wise.
b. write call/put to scalp a few rupees [far OTM if required].
c. OR use your 10 point prediction to leg into spread trade:[ eg. you think nifty will fall 10 points, buy put and then after the fall sell put at a higher strike to make your spread better.], but as said spread works great with time.
all the best.
