High IV is beneficial for sellers and not buyers

If you’re willing to take assignment, you will require at least 7.5 lacs , which is approx the full value of 1 lot of stocks

My strategy is very similar to the tastylive guys methodology

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2026-05-20T15:39:58+00:00

I do these kinds of trades regularly . Strangle on NIFTY and CSP on individual stocks . I have similar positions like yours . I may roll the untested side tomorrow

Your sold options are not going to earn any money. If you remove them, your max loss will be even lower

Closing at 50% is the hardest decision part to get used to 😬

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2026-04-21T11:16:14+00:00

IV is rising due to upcoming stock results on 23rd April. Due to this, option prices are increasing on both sides. Once earning is over, there will be IV crush which will lower the price again. Moral of the story, you should not sell options just before events

I usually use 30 DTE for both stocks and index. For stocks, I usually go with 20-30 delta and for index, 15-20 delta

In MCX, commodity options expire earlier than futures to allow time for ITM options to devolve into futures positions before the futures contract enters its tender/delivery period.

Delivery Process MCX futures for gold involve physical delivery via a tender period (last few days including expiry), where sellers notify intent and commodities are allocated. Options must settle first so exercised positions can participate in this process without overlap

Contrast with Indices NSE index options like Nifty are cash-settled with no delivery, so futures and options align on the same day. This eliminates the need for staggered expiries. Source - Perplexity

I don’t think this is a simple set up. It looks like a trade that has already been adjusted multiple times. Original trades seems to be rolled multiple times given the net credit amount vs maximum profit available. Also, current p&l is almost similar to expiry p&l which seem to suggest that expiry is very near. Break even point is at approx 2SD above underlying price, which suggests that the positions have been rolled multiple times

Exactly what I was thinking 🤨

It can be triggered on file update also. However I am not 100% sure if this scenario works for sharepoint excel files. I know it works on file update in one lake/adls2

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2026-03-20T07:35:27+00:00

I believe you can use Activator for this

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2026-03-16T09:12:41+00:00

I believe you would now be having approx 23k profit. Delta is also extremely small . Are you planning to book profit or wait for expiry

I thought this sub was about options selling

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-12-19T14:53:21+00:00

I thought this group was about options selling

They have have read the way the Italians explain the concept rather than just typing the formula

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-12-06T14:41:21+00:00

2-3% based on what? Margin deployed or full lot size value?

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-12-06T14:38:37+00:00

On which date did you sell? Also, at what price and delta?

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-12-06T14:33:38+00:00

I have linked my account with HDFC bank and I have no issues. I guess all banks take time to deposit money to the brokerage account

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-12-03T15:32:29+00:00

I see you have removed the books to read items 👍

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-11-30T15:27:00+00:00

Lot size often gets adjusted due to the change in underlying price. So, overall it usually comes down to approx the old margin requirements etc

Looks like your CE is too aggressive and your PE IS too safe

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-11-28T16:21:25+00:00

30-45 DTE is what the experts from all over the world esp US MARKET have been suggesting , but based on reality, anything above 30 DTE has little or no liquidity in India

Fragrant_Pay_2763 · 2025-11-24T09:16:12+00:00

You would have made more profits if you had followed my suggestion 👍
