Mini Black-swan day today: Anybody made profit?

Today Nifty fell more than 150 Pts & recovered in a big way. There was lot of volatility in between. A difficult day to trade for sure. Ppl who have traded live must have realized.

But anybody made profit in today’s mkt? No matter how small it is…

I dont care about volatility. Even I dont care about today is profitable day or loss day. As trading is our profession we must face these type of big days a lot.

I follow my strategy thats it.

I actually don’t see fundamental events at all. Its pure OI based directional positional trades. Check here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-1iDkl4lareH5l_-lAHOVS6pM4pDSKWWSIEHqrSlZfM/edit?usp=sharing

Here goes a profitable strategy -
Short Lower Range PE
Short Upper Range CE

Management -
Close if the Range breaks. (Put an alert)

Or, Do an iron condor with those ranges as BEP. (BEST IDEA) Even with 1% (and some loss events) you will end up >30% profit YOY.
