Safest option strategy

Suppose I have 10 lakh capital , If want to earn 2000 per day with max risk of 2000 per day. Which will be the best strategy ?

For example selling 1220 CE and buying 1200 PE. This protects me from big gaps overnight.

So what do you feel safest strategy for small income ?

Straddle (Buying/Selling Call and Put options of same strike) is safe bet IMO, all you need is one big move in either direction.

I want to make money in time decay , not volatility… because 8 out of 10 times , there is no big move , maybe i can try these with next day result stocks.

This word SAFE is not in the market ,
if you are buyer most of the time you will loose money ,
if you are a seller most of the time you make money ,

better Sell and buy

Yeah straddle will be good choice when there’s some news expected in stock. Also you’re right with weekly expiry chances of price decay are more than wild move.

if you r selling CE 1200 and buy 1400 this will make decent profit , if you r selling and buying very close the profit potential will be less of blocked margin , its all about adjustment

see here people r posting there profit and sharing some strategy

1400 ? or 1240 ?

see i given example like one strike above you can cover, its will make decent profit , because most of the time market will not move

abc stock -1200 sell
1300
1400 buy

Ok lets have this scenario , I am daily getting 1 or two points … and one day if price gaps up and reach 1300 and expires in it , I will have loss of 100 points , since I sold 1200 and 1400 will expire worthless …

Bro, it’ll better if you first do paper trading rather than diving directly in market. This way you will also be able to test different strategies.

Also, regarding Options trading. I found this article helpful to come up with strtegy. Do give it a read https://www.newtraderu.com/2019/08/18/3-best-direction-neutral-options-trading-strategies/

every day, ensure not to sell CE if its shortcovering rally and not to sell PE if market in below support
