As per my experiences Our Market is Good for Writing only. Major Breakout happens twice or thrice in a year wrest all options end up with ZERO premium.
True that.
I will be uploading the back-tested results of holding an ATM strangle strategy for nifty from 2005.
I have completed it till 2008, and the results so far are not encouraging as we had a massive rally in 2007 and a similar fall in 2008.
But let's see the performance of the strategy till now and then take a call.
One thing that I have noticed though is that whenever the straddle premium of immediate OTM strikes rises by more than 100%, there is a really very good chance of the strangle for the next series working in your favour.
Still it doesn't have a 100% strike rate.
Feel free to share any nifty option strategies that you guys use on a regular basis.
