Bank Nifty Strangle Greater than or equal to 20 PT

Entry time: 0918

Instrument: Sell Bank Nifty weekly CE and PE option which is trading at a price greater than or equal to 20 at 0918

Please note both CE and PE should be sold e.g. if BN 37200 CE is trading at 21 and BN 33100 PE is trading at 20, I will sell BN 37200 CE (Weekly) and BN 33100 PE (Weekly)

Stop-Loss: 50% on both CE/PE Legs

Exit: 1515

Slippage: 0.5%

Capital: 72,000

MTM SL: You can put a strategy level SL to take exit at loss of 2000 per lot. Generally this stop loss would not be hit but this is to take care of freak trades if any taken by algo platform as happened with me on 17th Jun 22 where instead of selling a BN CE option near to 20, Tradetron sold BN CE option at 1867 which increased to 2107 in few minutes thereby causing a huge loss for such kind of low return strategy. 

Note: As this strategy is low return one it need to be traded in more than 1 lot (CE+PE) and using zero brokerage accounts such as Finvasia

Note (19-Jan-22): Have re-started trading this strategy from this week for non-expiry days to utilize the excess trading capital/margin as I trade with only 40% capital during non expiry days. Also a variation is done where 1 lot will be entered as usual and second lot will enter when SL hits on either side for first lot. 

Note (19-Jun-23): Started trading this strategy again on non-expiry days to utilize trading capital

Below is YT video explaining the strategy

  2. At times significant differences between backtesting and actual. I think the default.0.5 slippage is not good. It should be 1%. I have seen some strategies goes into loss if slippage is considered 1%

    1. For the strategies which is selling OTM option and entry is based on time, 0.5% slippage is fine. However for momentum buy strategies where entry is taken based on momentum in the option, 0.5% slippage might not be enough. There we might try with 1% slippage

  3. Hi. First of all, thanks for publishing such great material here & on ur twitter tl. Kudos👍🏻

    I came across same strategy in a f2f video of Dr. Gaurav Patel. He uses almost same setup but, with 150% SL.

    Ie. for Rs. 20 value of a leg, the SL would be Rs. 50. Then he timely updates SL value during the day. In case of one side of SL hitting, he brought other SL to cost.

    Pls do publish the backtest result fot the strategy, if possible.

    Thanks again.

    1. Yes the logic was that when SL hits on either side (CE or PE) for first entry a second entry will be taken with same logic i.e. extra CE and PE legs >= 20 will be again entered at that time. All legs will then have 50% SL individually and have to be held till it hits. I have stopped doing this variation now. I am simply doing first entry only with individual SL of 50% on both legs.
