I too was of the same opinion and bought some calls on 25th but had to stopped out and faced heavy loss :mad:
It happens to all of us sometime....

@Tauraus.. what would be low value of nifty.. that you predict on the date you
predict?:)
You are watching too much TV instead of reading......

It was posted on 25th July.

The nifty has taken it's own sweet time to top, from here till settlement it will be sideways to -100 down.
The actual low was -128 pts down from the top.

I never do the calculation for small moves, as it takes up 30-40 mins of time that I don't have. :down:

Unless I have a monster trade, there is no use in putting money down. I keep out and wait for the >200pt moves. since these give 150% - 200% returns.

The saga, so far.......

In May, I bought 25k of puts, didn't expect a majority govt. Lost 80%. :mad:
In June, I took 25k to a 260% profit, but ended the month with 90%. Net result after 2 months is 10%. :annoyed:
About 160% profit for July, nowhere near what I aimed for.
Started Aug with 25k of puts yesterday.... already 70% up and holding the position. Late entry, else it would have been >100% by now.

Target of 700% this month if volat holds good.

Got out at the gapup open yesterday with small profit :annoyed:

which strike price ?
In the past, I have noticed that many people try to read more from my posts than what is posted. If I say that I am holding 7000 puts, there will be people who think it will go to 7000, so I never post the strike.

I mostly buy OTM options before acceleration zones with a certain size of price move in mind.

Without an acceleration zone, OTM options will get killed, so be very careful when buying.

At the start of every month, I make a time map of a few stocks acceleration zones. 2 days before the date, I will look at the chart and decide if it is worth putting money on.
