Dear Arnav_rulz,
I worked out in detail your suggestions. I don't at all figure out how you've arrived at the 10K figure. In fact, after putting up the margin money for writing 4 lots, the best case scenario that I see from my tables is about 5k (maximum), that is if you foreclose some of your positions in the no-gain range. Have I missed out something or am I making a mistake somewhere?!
[Some assumptions I have made are (a) entry is at about 40 days ahead and selective sq off is at 10 days to expiry, (b) the IV is range-bound.]
Well i didnt get you completely, what i think you were asking me was that if say, the market was 4500, 10 days before expiry... How would we manage to earn 10k, right ?
Well 1st assumption, Im trading in 100/200 nifty.
2nd, its assumed that, when nifty is trading @ 4500, 10 days prior to expiry ... then at that time ...
4400 Put would trade something around 75-80
4100 Put would trade something around 15-20
So if we would square off both 4400 & 4100 puts we could earn around 4-5k
Similarly when we square off 4600 & 4800 call we could earn about 4-5k then We Could manage to earn about 10k if nifty trade between 4400-4600....
*If 10 days prior to the market, say we are bullish and do not expect heavy downside, then what is can do is square off 4400 Put @ 75(ie earn 7500)
Let the 4100 puts and 4600&4800 Calls remain there...(vice versa if we are bearish)
This way if the market moves according to our way and say closes @ 4700, then we could earn 10,000 + 7500 (from 4400 Put) ie 17,500.
And in case, the market falls but manages to close above 4100, even then we would earn 7500.
I hope ive cleared your doubts
, if you didnt get anything do ask me again
