it depends… how stock price move… if stock shows big upmove or down move… than i think you will earn profit…
but if stock trades in a particular range… i think you loose… because your premium is eroded…
for eg;- let say you purchase 800ce/pe of any particular stock… you get 800 CE at 40 rs… and 800 PE at 38…
than your breakeven point is 878 (strike price = 800 premium=40 +38)
and second breakeven point is 722 (strike price = 800 premium=40 +38)
so, if stock trades above 878 or trades below 722… than you will start earning profit…
but if stock trades in this particular range… than you will end up with loss… because you premium is eroded…
