As per yesterday, if strategy were to be executed,
As far as direction is concerned,
sell near, buy far: One has 30pt upside window to make money (around Inr. 30) after which loss kicks in. (For BN, isn't this dumb, I might as well scalp)
Buy near, sell far: Anything more than 30pt move in any direction and you make money.
Any delta neutral, direction neutral strategy works in funny way.
Eg: long straddle requires large move in either side to make money else loss
and short straddle prefers to stay in the middle for max profit and large moves have unlimited loss.
Yesterday, IV was around 36-38% for BN, today its 56-58%, is this impact understood ?
Again, when it is 1:1 lot, there are differences in movement of price as per MTM.
So if sell earns 10 points from theta, the buy would have lost 30 points in theta. How do you balance that?
