Is position 2 called "Short Gut"? Was it taken because in your view spot may linger around 26500 - 26600 and you will get more premium than
vanilla short strangle? Spot seems to be declining . Will you adjust trade by selling additional calls?

Yes,I think its called short gut. Not sure what the position 1 strategy is called.

Both the positions are taken with the view that BN will trade in 26000 - 27000 range this week.

If BN continues to decline, then I will adjust position 2 by selling 26200/26300 calls.

Position 2 is ITM one ,, Isnt it risky ? You effectively have close to 1 delta for one leg.(Either CE or PE depending upon if BN falls or rises )

Its a risky position and hence reduced the position size. Plan is to short 26200/26300 CE if BN is negative next week.

BN is getting attracted to that 26500 level like a magnet. If it stays near that level next 3-4 days, this position can give very good returns. Otherwise need to hedge it.
