Please see rule no 7 Amendment by Raj Sir. You can also find some other example on this page.

Thank you Augubhai. Yes I have been Trading only one Strategy based on a slight modification to my Rule 7.

The Problem with the Rule 7 was the basic assumptions which are made with respect to Implied Volatility and say INDIAVIX.

The Assumptions made in Rule 7 were
- Go for Debit Spreads when you feel that the market is on DOWN TREND - Does not work always because we are making an assumption that In a downtrend the Volatility will go UP
- Go for Credit Spreads when you feel that the Market is on an UP TREND - Does not work always because we are making an assumption that In a downtrend the Volatility will go DOWN

VOLT UP + MARKET UP = Debit Spread = REAL BULLISH Market - Difficult to Predict VOLT
VOLT UP + MARKET DOWN = Debit Spread = REAL BEARISH Market- Difficult to Predict VOLT
VOLT DOWN + MARKET UP = Credit Spread = REVERSAL - Difficult to Predict VOLT
VOLT DOWN + MARKET DOWN = Credit Spread = REVERSAL- Difficult to Predict VOLT


My Modified Rule
- Take the MAX OI or Find a suitable pair - We will always SELL this Pair
- Find the Trend using the Hourly charts - If We feel the market will go down we will BUY Put and Will Buy Call if we feel that Market will GO UP. So yes In Trading we have a to take a Decision or a BIAS based on the charts. Simply Selling OI Pair does not always work. Actually it works 90%. But the 10% of the times it does not work because of the VOLT Shoot up and takes away all your Money. So this additional BUYing or Calls or Puts is to Cover the sudden Spurt in Volatility Or in other words I think this strategy will be Volatility Neutral.
- One more change is for the BUY Call/Put I always choose a ITM/ATM Option so that the Change in VOLT does not really affect the position.
- The other important point is to choose Call / Put strike so that it is slightly greater than combined premium of the pair. In other words we are financing our Calls or Puts by selling the Pairs.
