Dear Nandu,

Nifty is range bound. It fell today because people want to put money in Rel. Power, may be. This is part of the game, which we can never predict. We can have strict SL and a target in mind, where we will exit. Come up with a system, make a plan before market opens and stick to the plan. With your system you should do paper trading first for months till you see your system gives profit for ateast 3 months.

Regarding nifty, will suggest to wait. before we can take a call based on market direction.

Regards

thanks for your reply Mr.ghosh. I meant this stratergy i used was on all occasion. ie whenever i buy "call and "put" +50/-50(I used to buy nifty only there is a oppur. nifty goes 50-70 pts up).but, nifty never moves beyond that +50/-50. i really got bugged up several times. when i play virtual game (moneycontrol website). All my stocks are hitting the target on the next day. but when i use option "at-the-money". Nifty is struggling 2 move?...so i got an idea brokers are playing in the middle 2 grab our money. Did u exp. any sort of situtaion like this??

Dear Nandu,

Yeah! I have exp. this earlier and it happens many times when nifty is range bound and one is trapped in it. For options to be successful, the nifty, if you are a nifty trader, should move in a particular direction steadily either up or down. When to buy option is a common question and there could be many answers to this. Normally, what I do I am sharing it here. First find last weeks support (S1)and resistence level (R1). R1 ~ S1 = 300 to 400 points.

P = (Weeks High + Weeks Low + Weeks Close)/3
S1 = 2P - H
R1 = 2P - L

If (R1 - S1) >= 300 then,
Buy call at S1 and put at R1.
else
Do not trade at all.

Keep a target and SL in mind and maintain that strictly. Do not hold call or put after 20th of the month. If you are very sure that S1/R1 will be broken buy put at S1 and call at R1. Hope this helps.

Regards

Dear Anju,

Calls have already fallen and since you are still holding it. Then hold them for another week max. Will recomend to buy MiniNifty. Now, when to buy it, if Nifty is up more than 20 points till 10:30 10:45 AM then, buy MiniNifty. And if it remains up 20 points or more at 3:00 PM then, hold that MiniNifty, otherwise exit. Do the same next day till market settles down. Maintain SL = -50 points and T1 = 100 points, T2 = 150 points from your buy price.

Hope the above helps.
Regards

yes thanks sir, usually from 17th, i trade "in-the-money" options where delta > 0.4 ~ 0.5 people say, to trade after 20th is easy..just SELL a CALL/PUT option and trade at "out-of-money"..limited profit
as after 20th the options depreciate it will be easy to "BUY" on the day of expiry rather to "SELL".... how far this works???
