Hi Wastej:

Sorry have not been able to log on to the net due to bad connection.

I am getting a better idea about the whole concept of "delta neutral" strategy and thanks to you.

Here are the valuations as of close yesterday (14th September)

Closed out profits on Futures = 67200

Valuations of open positions:

1) 2000 long puts (sp2340) = (4.5-46)x2000 = -83000 - loss
2) 200 short calls (sp2480) = (21.55-35.35)x200 = -2760 - loss
3) 400 short puts (sp2350) = (12.5-5.35)x400 = 2860 - profit
4) 1000 short puts(sp2400) = (11.50-10.46)x1000 = 1050 - profit
5) 200 long futures@2455 = (2483-2455)x200 = 5600 - profit

Total p/l = (67200+2860+1050+5600-83000-2760) = -9050 (loss)

Open positions:

1) 2000 long puts (sp2340)
2) 200 short calls (sp2480)
3) 400 short puts (sp2350)
4) 1000 short puts(sp2400)
5) 200 long futures@2455

Regards

Hi Nautilus,

It seems the Nifty is surprising us every day, making bulls feel very happy and on top of this world.

In our trade, if we had not bought back the 200 Long futures at 2455, we would have suffered much deeper losses. Though at the time we took this action, it seemed that we are extra protective, especially with your bias. This is the reason; we try not to assume risk, as we can never predict what market will do.

Now that market has moved north again and the put premiums will dry up in the options specially getting close to the expiry date, therefore we have to take a decision to sell some thing fast against our 600 puts (Uncommitted) of SP2340.

I will be aggressive in my approach, which normally I don't do that, in order to steer the trade from here towards breakeven or even profits.

Let us sell 300 put options for strike price 2480. Once the order is executed you have to place a stop loss order also. The stop loss order is going to be equivalent to the premium we collect when we sell Put options for SP2480. The remaining uncommitted 300 puts we will hold for few more days and see how market reacts.

As a rule, I like to start the question answer session only after the trade is completed, but for you and Harish this rule is completely relaxed. I encourage to both of you to ask questions pertaining not only to your trade, but also to each other’s trade. The whole purpose of starting this thread was to make you guys understand as how to implement delta neutral strategy.

Regards,

Wastej

If you get lucky, and nifty closes at 2380 then you will have both the premiums as your profits. I hope it makes sense for you.

Hi Harish and Natilus,

For a great learning, I would like both of you to do one small exercise and post it here, please. Figure out the trade position in terms of profit and loss assuming options expired today. This exercise may be difficult one, I don't know, you will find out. I encourage all the readers to do this exercise also, of their own, and they are welcome to post it here too, if they so desire.

It is very essential to do this exercise, without which no one can tell where the trade will lead you. If you know in advance where the trade will lead you, than you can take corrective steps now, while the time is still in hand.

Good Luck,

Wastej
