Arnav, you r reminding me of Satyajit Da...
he's also quite an expert in earning free premiums by selling options....
it's like u sell at a decent premium & cover it at the BEST possible price i.e. Re 0/-
Yup me too trying that only... From past 2-3 Months being heavily into options strategy's... trying different different things with the minimum risk involved.. cause ill be honest.. ive never been very good @reading charts maybe cause lack of homework...
Btw Today was another great example of how the premium in intraday gets reduced... Seen this many a times that if sometimes seem a bit high(just pure trading experience) then to cool it off generally a 1 way directional way move is made.
After that 2 possibilities are there -->
A)the stock comes back to its consolidating point
B)The stock just follows that direction ..say it just keeps falling.
In case A lyke today... what happens is that... by the time the stock comes to its original price.. the "extra" premium gets wiped off by then !!
In Case B When the Stock/Nifty keeps on falling.. then there is no relation in the fall of nifty with the increase in rate of Put.
Believe it or not. What i have seen many a times is that -->
Say nifty is trading @ 2700 with 2600 Put @ 40 and 2800 call @ 35
On the same day nifty comes to 2650.
then the 2600 put is trading @ 50 or something :S and 2800 call @ 13 or something!!
Difficult to expres when all this usually happns and when exactly is there "extra" premium.. cause it just came to me with experience.. Will try and give a write up on these "different" strategies..
Im not sure If all the above made sense to every1... im sorry for that.. As i said.. very difficult for me to express all this in words..
cheers
