In your example, the price of the increasing contract has gone up by 70 and that of the decreasing contract has gone down by 41. What if the price of the increasing contract and the decreasing contract change at the same rate then your net profit will be zero OR if the decreasing contract goes down more than the increase in the increasing contract then there will be loss.
I was just trying to understand the strategy, as I am also interested in mastering the art of options trading. If you have improved upon this strategy in any way or have developed or discovered any new strategies, please do post them here.

Hi,
I have back tested this strategy & it worked perfectly. I have been trying out this strategy for couple of weeks. It�s been giving consistent returns of around 15 to 20%, but am curious to know if any of the members have already tried this.
Strategy:
Investment needed: Rs.10,000
Suitable Trading days: 1st to 20th of every month (Better to avoid last week of expiry)
This strategy will give best returns when you expect Nifty or any stock to move either ways with big move.
Example: Nifty Spot (5700)
Trade: Buy Nifty Call 5800 & Nifty Put 5600.
Say Nifty CE 5800 is 50Rs. & Nifty PE 5600 50Rs. (Just a rough figure)
Buy 2 lots of Put & Call options, so total investment = 50*100+50*100=10,000Rs.
If Nifty breaks resistance and keeps moving higher, Nifty CE 5800 value (Rs.50) will increase.
If Nifty breaks support and keeps moving lower Nifty PE 5600 value (Rs.50) will decrease.
Say if Nifty SPOT is 5500 now, then your investment value will be Nifty CE 5800==Rs.9 & Nifty PE 5600 ==Rs.120
Total value = 9*100+120*100=Rs.12900
Total Profit=Rs.10,000-12,900= Rs.2,900.
Your Returns is 29%.
I tried this with high volatile stocks like DLF & Nifty, it worked fine.
Please do let me know if anyone already tried this strategy?
