To begin with, determine whether Bank Nifty is trending, consolidating, or stuck in a range.
Why?
Cause we can predict what it will do then.
The margin required for selling one lot is around Rs. 1.5 lakh for a strangle.
If we earn around Rs. 1500 on one lot, we would make 1% return on our capital.
1500/25 = 60 points
Either sell directional 60 and make it zero.
Or 30-30 both sides.
Can tend to skip Friday's as there are two days holiday.
In those 2 days market has ample time to come out with news, react to SGX and so forth.
So from a R:R perspective it is not great to carry from Friday.
The Weekly candle also is from Monday to Friday.
So at Friday EOD we know how the weekly candle looks as well.
If the market was consolidating recently then we are going to wait for a proper breakout or breakdown.
If it is taking too much time we can sell far otms.
But with the intention of exiting the strangle when a breakout/breakout happens.
Post a big movement in the weekly candle, we are looking for an inside candle in the current week.
Thereby we would look for selling strangles as they would be most rewarding.
Usually can target around 30-40 rs premiums.
Adjustments can generate more returns than you had originally planned.
Basic rolling up and down can be done to extract higher premiums.
Can't adjust every move though, so should know when to exit.
Here is where levels come into play.
There are levels after which Bank Nifty is going to make a big move.
In my Youtube channel as well as my twitter, I always share my bias.
Sometimes I don't mark one side at all.
That's when I am expecting a trending move.

\u2022 41300 zone is a good level to go long in case any reversal pattern.
\u2022 40800-850 would act as a first pullback post BO, good levels to go long on positional basis. pic.twitter.com/E2x9DCKY0s

Don't take more than a 3% hit.
I have seen traders usually lose their minds when they lose more than this. The cycle of bad trading originates after this.
So we have to ensure to not let it happen in the first place.
Psychology needs to be intact.
On Rs. 10 Lakh maximum you can sell is 6 lots.
Beginner should avoid any leverage unless they are profitable for 6 months consistently.
Don't enter all your qty at once.
Stagger the qty as and when you make profits.
Do respect your SL.
Never change it based on Hope or your bias as you always go wrong as the market is supreme. Your SL should be the one which you had planned before taking an entry in the trade.
Can go and backtest your trading and look for areas for improvement.
Forward testing is also essential to see if you can do it in the live markets and keep a check on your emotions when trend is not in favour but your SL is also not hit.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
