how much premiums will be affected? who will be in losses buyer or seller? what could be approx premium values if nifty spot price moved 16800?
if spot price increasedto 16800 and 16500, the sold CE 1700 option price will go up resulting in a loss position. This should more less be offset by the decline in value of 16000 PE (a +ve position), provided both strikes were selected to be delta neutral.
Before I answer this let me clarify most important concept of options; option pricing.
The options prices depend on Black-Scholes Model.
In short option prices depends on
Underlying Price & Strike Price
Time to Expiration
Interest Rates
Volatility
Let me Elaborate Volatility
Option pricing models require the trader to enter future volatility during the life of the option. Naturally, option traders don’t really know what it will be and have to guess by working the pricing model “backwards”. After all, the trader already knows the price at which the option is trading and can examine other variables including interest rates, dividends, and time left with a bit of research. As a result, the only missing number will be future volatility, which can be estimated from other inputs
These inputs form the core of implied volatility, a key measure used by option traders. It is called implied volatility (IV) because it allows traders to determine what they think future volatility is likely to be.
The Bottom Line
Options are complex, but their price can be described by just a handful of variables, most of which are known in advance. Only the volatility of the underlying asset remains a matter of estimation.
Let me reiterate the last point
Volatility of the underlying asset remains a matter of estimation.
Here i have a few questions sir from your screenshot , 16201 spot
