Nifty calender spread with calls or puts

[hardik229]

Thanks for your quick response. I am also looking for some adjustments for calendar spread on net. If I come across something I will share it here.

The spread you are paper trading, what will be the BEPs?

If you can share us the diagram / visual P/L it would be good to understand.

Thanks again.

As stated in this article, you can get only approximate BEP for calendar spreads at expiration.

Current profit 1195.

Since I entered this paper trade, it is always in profit, so far.

Good to see. Just be careful about thinking that paper trades are real. I absolutely appreciate your trueness to tell that it is a paper trade on this option strategy, as an other member here likes to show off that all his paper option strategy trades would be real trades and even posts that he has made any profit in real with it. Guess in the mean time it is clear to all who this member is.

Take care and enjoy your weekend / Dan

HMM just tested calendar spreads for 2012 and profit is close to zero.
After being very hopeful; I am dumping this strategy.
