How It Works: Step-by-Step π οΈ
This strategy combines selling At-The-Money (ATM) options with buying Out-of-The-Money (OTM) options, with dynamic adjustments to keep losses low. Letβs break it down:
Step 1: Selling ATM Options π°
- β What You Do: Sell one lot each of an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike price.
- πWhy It Works: ATM options have the highest extrinsic value due to their closeness to the market price, generating instant premium incomeβyour profit foundation! πΈ
- πExample: If Nifty trades at 24,400, sell one lot of 24,400 Call and one lot of 24,400 Put.
Step 2: Buying OTM Options for Protection π‘οΈ
- β
What You Do: Buy two lots each of OTM calls and puts, 200 points away from the ATM strike:
- OTM Calls: 200 points above ATM strike.
- OTM Puts: 200 points below ATM strike.
- πWhy It Works: OTM options act as a hedge, shielding you from big losses if the market swings sharply. Double lots boost protection while keeping costs low. π€
- πExample: For an ATM strike of 24,400:
- Buy two lots of 24,650 Calls (24,400 + 200).
- Buy two lots of 24,050 Puts (24,400 – 200).
