Linkon, in my view, this 4900 straddle is risky.
it just need 2% move on nifty to hit back at you. And almost 67% on the days, nifty has moved 2% or more.

And specially sitting near one of the most volatile time, IMO, this is going to give u roller coaster ride.

With nifty being at 4855, the Intrisic val of this strddle is 45.. that means this straddle has only 45 rs of time value for remaining 3 days. I would rather buy this straddle and catch the people who trade against the odds. With buy, I will have 67% odds in my favour. ( I am generally straddle seller but near the expiry, the game changes and odds start coming in favour of buyer).
Take another day and if this ATM straddle is available at 75 Rs. i.e. 1.5% of nifty, the odds of 1.5 % or larger move go up to almost 83%.

That is my view of looking at it, hope this helps u in selecting the strategy.

Happy Trading

Thanks... Got rid of it with minor profit...Basically initiated that with the intention of converting it to covered call or covered put. The sell off was more than i expected and having a bias made me loose a good amount of profit...

Holding the 5000 call -4800 put... but looks like thats in danger now...
Have to work out a way from that tomorrow...

I trade options and carry a fraction for the next day. like when i initiate a position, i do it with 20 lots. then at 4-5 points profit, i exit 10 or 15 lots and carry the rest 5 for the next day. logic is, if market opens against my position, I should be able to come out with small profit or small loss.

True option players like AW10 are leagues ahead in their planning and execution. I dont have patience and i dont like carrying risk. I rather book a loss than carry a loser the next day. Good option players treat intraday movement as noise and plan for the whole week or month.
