Do this only if you can put in a lot of screen time intraday. I guess Rs. 40 per lot makes for about 2 points per lot breakeven ??
You are holding 8 lots. If the market starts going down, sell them and buy them back later at lower price.. Even if you make 5 points per lot, it contributes to lowering your costs and helps nullify the loss due to time decay to some extent. And make sure that you keep a stoploss, not too deep. And don't try for hefty profits, 5-7 points in one trade.
The trick is, since you are selling options from your holdings, you don't require any extra margin and if you end up making even 5 points, at the end of the day you have your options + extra Rs. 250 profit .

trying to salvage 5 points in multiple trades...
one bad trade wd either put him out of his position forever, or a few good trades combined with a few bad trades + commission & charges wd set him back furthar..
and if he can actually manage to milk out 5 points 'everytime', I feel he does not need to invest money in long term options, he can just scalp the mkts. fr a living..
