Shorting strikes purely based on india vix volatility index
- we can short one side either CALL or PUT side / if we do both then we can conclude that it is short strangle - Short 18150 CE and Short 17850 PE
🛑 India Vix helps to calculate the expected volatility for shorter time period - currently india vixis at 15.85 down by -1.49% which means premium is declined in both CE as well as PE - drop in premium bcz declined in volatility - what is 15.85 ? - well, it is expected volatility for next one from today it means nifty can go up by +15.85 % or it may can go down by - 15.85% (for next one year) - it doesn't include any global sentiment or news -now we can calculate expected volatility for next one month and even we can calculate for next day also - Question is what is the use from it ? - well, it tells us that it may can stays in between mine range when market is choppy / range bound - we get that one point it is so much help full in side ways market , right ? yeah - if you needed range for next one month then , use this formula Vix/sqrt (12) = x% where - 12 is number of month ( standard vix is calculated for one year )
for ex, vix = 15.85 , sqrt(12) = 3.46 15.85/3.46 = 4.5 % means from today's market close to next one month nifty can go up by +4.5% or it may can go down by -4.5% . using this we can do short strangle for one month as we know as expiry appears premium will fall , or bcz of time decay / theta caution it doesn't include any global , investors sentiment
- calculation for next day
if needed short strangle strikes for next day use this formula - Vix/sqrt(365) =Y% where 365 is number of days in one year
now for example (which is exactly given below) Vix= 15.85 , sqrt (365) = 19.1
15.85/19.1 = 0.829% (149 points) it means nifty can go up by +0.82% or it may can go down by -82% - in other words nifty can go up by +149 points or it may can go up to max ie. 18150 (17991(previous close)+ 149 (expected points)) - and it may can down by -149 points or it may can go up to max ie. 17850 (17991-149)
now,
🛑 we can observe that market may be stays in between with the range of 18150 - 17850
- so , i will exit from one side position if any breakout/ breakdown happens (just to reduce the risk in one side ) i will exit only when support/resistance breakout (if you need resistance / support scroll down mine profile)
- if short both side / if we did short strangle if breakout at 18050 happens then we can exit from short CE position and hold short PE until achieve the target of 18100 - 18150 if breakdown at 17850 happens then we can exit from short PE position and hold the short CE until achieve the target of 17750
i hope that it will help a lot , if you like it do follow for more, have nice day
