What is the margin req for selling 10000/15000 strangle?

What is the margin req for selling 10000/15000 strangle?

About 1.3 L total for 1 Lot both contracts, if I remember right........keep 30 -35 K extra for any increase in margin....

10000PE is at 12. What is the quote on 15000CE? I dont see 31 Dec quote but let's say it's about 5.

If you sell a strangle now you will make 20 points in a month on an investment of 3L?

No. You are making 20 points on an investment of 1.5 Lacs lying idle in your account. Moreover, if nifty doesnt move much and VIX decreases, then you may expect more than 10 points in the next 10 days also.

Is it 1.3+1.3 or 0.65+0.65

Strangle Margin bulk is on first leg. 2nd leg is very nominal. This is after margin benefit policy.
Varies with strike but i roughly go with 1.7L for pair of ATM CE/PE with Z.

Bcos only one leg can potentially be in loss.

I thought margin requirement for hedged options came down heavily ?

 

[Smart_trade]

Is it 1.3+1.3 or 0.65+0.65

Total 1.3 L ......so 65000+65000 ........actually both margins will have some difference so it could be 55000 +75000......

It is not a very aggressive trading..I am using to earn some returns on my funds lying idle...so even 3-5 % in a month is good return on my idle funds.....dont want any aggressive trading.

If one keeps 1500-2000 points away strike price, one gets Rs 36 combined premium.
