Hi Cool,
I told that because Ghosh's strategy tells us to square on 20th. After that selling is viable, and then he is not recommending that.
Next, I am not familiar with selling. If I sell 5200 puts what it accounts for at or after expiery, whether maket is up or down? please explain.
Regards,
Pranjit
Pranjit,
I am not willing to take ghosh thread so advice you to open query in other thread.
I am also quite a newbie and following JV blogger thread of streamliner Nickels..
Also AW10 thread of spreading.
How it works is when you sell you collect money/premium uphand means it will be credit ; you will receive money by selling.
For buying you pay premium like you paid 64 rs .
Only Selling example:
So if Market goes below 5200; suppose 5150
your loss will be 5200-5150=50
50*50=2500 rs
But you receive by selling got 15@50=750 RS
so your total loss is 2500-750=1750 + brokerage
If Market doesn't go below 5200 before expiry, you will keep 750 RS.
Also with time it will reduce to 14...10,9,8 and zero in case market doesn't go down.
Now taking your previous trade consideration you have put 5300 @ 64....
So you are already expecting market to go down when you purchased this.
your loss will be minimized if you sell if market close down below 5200 your 5300 put will be in profit.
Thats why I am suggesting you to sell 4-5 lots of 5200 so you will collect some premimum.
750*5=3500 approx after brokerage.
If Market goes close to 5250 keep close eye and put stop loss.
Hope it will explain.
This is called bear spread:
