If I’ve shorted the 26300 CE today and I’m up Rs.2,000 per lot at 3:29 PM, and I want to convert this naked short into a credit spread before market close — which strike should I buy, and what’s the logic behind choosing that strike?
The greeks and consequently your PNL profile would change drastically depending on how wide or narrow the spread is. ![]()
The wider it is, the more it resembles a naked short. ![]()
Play around with the strikes in Sensibull, 100 strikes are more liquid than 50s. So at least 100 point wide is how I would do it. ![]()
