Amit...there r 2 support levels near 5553 and 5573....for fresh shorting nf

I feel it might be a good idea to hold onto the short positions.

The results season has only started. The most reliable player in the team has gone out for a duck. It is proof that the economy has been really hard. I shudder to imagine how bad the results of lesser efficient companies. It makes sense to hold onto the shorts a little longer.

All major intraday moving averages are converging between 60 and 70. Ideal zone to short away !!

 

[jamit_05]

5400 is the next destination, Any shorts taken today will be held with a specific target of Spot 5435 !!

Price is likely to make a false HOD because it did not correct any further after the fall. The bulls will try their hand.

Is there any way to benefit from these "known bad results"?
Long straddle? Long strangle??
Any strategy that does not involve selling options (preferably neutral strategy).
Looking to discuss things like how long before results to buy, what strikes, what proportion (1 CE+2 PE's or 2 CE's+1 PE) etc.

Is there any active thread that discusses results/events trading?

In all soundness, I'd say go ahead and buy ATM PEs. In current times, you are likely to be rewarded in most of the cases.
