Tried two spreads as under:
26700/26500 PE & CE with net credits 92 & 40.
When spot was nearing 26500 closed 26500 legs at Cost
Initiated a fresh spread 26400PE/CE with net 113 points.
Closed my short positions around 2 pm by paying 215 points
Although short sells gave 30 points, put buys which I ran till 3 pm have eaten away almost everything.
Managed to end the day with SAR on put side in the end and remained in green, but whatever is left with may not be sufficient to take care of broker’s charges!
Surprisingly, today BN traded with less volatility and I was tempted to close my put buys when they were continuously losing value. But didn’t, fearing sudden volatility post 2 pm. Keeping short sells open (effective strangle 27000pe / 26400 CE) by squaring off put sides would have yielded additional 30-40 points but was not confident.
Had I kept short sells open without closing, would have I ended up in loss on account of application of STT on ITM trades? Both 26700pe & 26400ce shorts ended as ITMs.
Any suggestions here pls?
