On expiry days all OTM options are going to go to zero, so you can take a bet on a particular level for a high reward.
But on the other days, the spikes are just too much, especially in this low-Vix environment.
In this thread, I'll walk you through my set up, absorb it as much as you can.

The instrument that I trade in are Nifty (NF) options

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.
Few are selling 20-25 Rs positional option selling course.

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.
1/n
Sold 29200 put and 30500 call

Used 20% capital@44 each
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.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
