options strategy

#1
dear all seniors,
though i am a new to TA and the strategy i am going to discuss may be known to many but i somehow find it very less risky and good one . i just want to know the risks involved in the same.

theory : every month nifty is giving around 2 % movement.
if at the end of every month say today or tomorrow.. if we buy call and put both and if we have a target of say 10 % profit .. with strict sl of 10 %. i think its easily achievable.
example :
yesterday nifty was at 7350. i bought call of 7550 at 63 and put of 7150 at 55 .. 200 up and 200 points minus.

my total cost is 63+55 = 118. total cost is 5900 for one lot. adding brokerage of say 500 Rs. for buy sell both ( roughly) = 6400. now to make 10 % profit we need to make 650 Rs. profit . that is 13 points. today. call is trading at 157 and put is trading at 36. so ttoal is 157+36 = 193. much more than returns I guessed...
u can now do the trailing sl also as per your convenience.

this gives very good returns in major movements in the market.

hope to have views of seniors on this and the risks involved..

Dear masterstroke, You are in a gloomy world my dear friend. Reality is completely different from what you are saying.. OK, Can you do a little home work:

Home work question : Just observe the nifty of June series. Just as per your strategy you observe the price odd 7200 put and 7400 call and monitor them... And then at the end of month, You submit me your findings.. Ok ??

anupbhai .. thanks for your guidance i very well understand that as the time value of option is coming down as the expiry is near.. my point is to get the desired profit at any point of time may be in 2 days after taking positoin or 15 days.. there is no point to hold the position till month end if we are already in profit .. hope i am clear now ...
and somatung bhai .. thanks for posting my view on the other site .. unfortunately i dont know much about that site ..
