A simple strategy for Nifty50 for week ending Nov 14, 2019.

I sold 12150 CE weekly options at premium Rs 7 when nifty50 was trading at around 11900 today. Reasons/Trading Signals -

  1. 12150 is more than 1 SD (Standard Deviation) away for the week ending Nov 14. It means, there are more than 67% chances that the strike will expire OTM (Out of the money) i.e. more than 67% chance of winning.

  2. The Delta of 12150 is around 10 i.e. there are 10% chances that the strike (12150) will expire ITM (In the money). It means, there are 90% chances that the strike will expire OTM

  3. The market has almost touched its ATH (all time high) and there are chances that the market will consolidate before moving up further high (chances for which are dim especially in the expiry week of Nov 14)

  4. In the option chain for Nov 14, highest number of option contracts are available for 12000 strike and second highest at 12100 strike. It means that in all likelihood, Nifty50 will not cross 12100 by Nov 14. Selling 12150, hence, is at a safer side.

  5. By selling 12150 at Rs 7, I received the total premium of Rs 525 which is around 0.5% weekly return (after deducting brokerage/taxes/etc) of the total capital (i.e. the margin money) required for selling this contract. It also means around 2% monthly return If one can repeat this again and again over time.

  6. its a relatively safe trade and until a green swan event such as cut in the corporate taxes takes place, the return is quite attractive)

  7. It suits the risk profile of retail traders like me who have limited capital to buy/sell options and capital preservation is the primary concern.

  8. Nifty50 is among the least volatile derivative products and hence the chances of Stop Loss (I have kept 4 times the premium earned as stop loss i.e. Rs 28) getting hit is relatively lesser especially at a time when the strike price of the 12150 call option is more than 250 points away for just 4 trading sessions (Tuesday being holiday). The theta decay will be much faster.

  9. I will exit this trade when the premium becomes worthless or when the premium shoots up to more than 4 times the premium received (i.e. Rs 28). I have no plans to adjust this trade.

    You don’t explain how you derive this levels.
    For me, you just post global news and sentiment and give your calls. It doesn’t help me to derive the levels.

    If criteria of this challenge allows giving calls then you are perfect candidate as winner.

    Excellent view… Bank-Nifty was on negative bias from 9.30 onward and shut shop more than 500 points down.

    I can’t provide calls or trend every week for BANKNIFTY.
    My strategies are useful for lifetime. Profit & loss are parts of trading.
    Select CE & PE OTM (depends on remaining days for expiry).
    Note the open price. Buy strictly @ open price + 20%. If activates, s/loss will be open price & target 40% ++ !
    (Backtest it before taking any trade.)
    I AM NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE CONTEST. I JUST SHARED MY STRATEGY WHICH ‘MAY BE’ HELPFUL FOR NEWBIES & SMALL TRADERS !
    Dear Zerodha, please do not count me for the contest.

    Just squared off my position i.e. 12150 CE at Rs 0.05.

    It worked.

    Results of my simple idea …
    30200PE Opened at 25.3. Added 20% = 31…High 80.
    30300PE Opened at 46.95. Added 20% = 57…High 118.75.
    30400PE Opened at 79.05. Added 20% = 95…High 172.

    My simple strategy of “open + 20%” has given handsome profit.

    Previously provided 200SMA/EMA crossover has also given profit of 400++ points.

    Can you tell me what is more then sufficient amount. Just for curiosity if you don’t mind.

    No comments. No arguments. Thanks.

    @Maharaj very good. Is this rule applicable only on expiry day.

    No. You can trade daily.
    OTM, far OTM depends on days remaining for expiry.

    @Maharaj , thank you. I think far OTM till Tuesday & just OTM for Wednesday /Thursday would work. Is it right.
