Q: Sir why call option premiums are higher the put?
A: It usually happens when there is big difference between spot & future.
Example
BN Spot: 35110
BN Future: 35300
BN Synthetic Future: 35150
It depends on our perception of what is ATM & accordingly match the calls & puts.

Since IRONFLY is the flavour these days, sharing my own thread. It has GREEKS incorporated which automatically reduces wing size & risk.
P.S. No one specifically invented ironfly & it's adjustments. A good trader can figure it out on his own. I've been doing it on & off for yrs.

These days the most preferred strategy for option sellers due to improved margins is IRONFLY. It's essentially a short straddle with long strangle. Long strangle acting as 'WINGS', which help in capping the unlimited risk associated with a short straddle.(1/n)
Low VIX doesn't necessarily mean ideal time for option buyers. If premiums aren't falling consistently during the day in low VIX, it usually gives those small delta & IV spikes, just enough to irritate both option buyers & sellers. Same happens when VIX is ultra high.
@SarangSood Sarang bhai according to you what number of vix is ideal for option buyers and what is that for option sellers? And is there any common number which is ideal for both?

Detailed thread on how @niki_poojary & I managed our positions on Thursday and got a big profit via straddles.
Many people were asking us in the comments, how we managed.
Explained transparently what we did.
Hope you get something to learn from this. 😀👍

Sep 23, 2021 - Weekly expiry, preceded by the FOMC meet and not to mention the gap up which then turned out to be a trending day
