Simple rules : friday,monday, tuesday do for weekly. Wednesday and thrusday next week
Read this. U may get it for free.
Short straddle :
What is ?? Sell an atm call and put.
Instrument: mostly bnf and nf.
Now there are versions of it.
1. Best version :
Enter around 9.15-20 and exit around 3.20. No adjustment nothing.
1/n.

Simple rules : friday,monday, tuesday do for weekly. Wednesday and thrusday next week
Another better version of mahesh chander kaushik is to do it for monthly expiry.
Bigger premiums and never hav to worry about 200-300 points sudden moves.
2. 2nd version : have combined stoploss of premiums and re-entry criteria. Example :
Let say, in morning,
3rd version : stoplosses at each leg and trail sl to cost type.
Example , 40000 straddle at 400.
This strategy is good when one side trend happens. But, will not work in choppy mkt.
Instead of doing all qty at 9.20, one can do at every hour or every 2 hour. Or may be at every 10 mins.
I hav seen someone selling version 3 algo for every 10 mins.
Let say u sold 40000 call put jodi at 400. And 200 each for call nd put. Now mkt went up and call became 300. Now, u will book call at 300 and will sell 2 lots of call of let say 40400 strike at 150. So, U matched premiums and do adjustments
Requires high margin and if one side move came, u may lose big. On other choppy day, this will make money.
6th version : ekdum copy to 5th version. Here, instead of matching premium, u need to match delta of call nd puts.
Requires understanding of greeks
Requires no sl no tgt.
Whenever mkt moves, u move the straddle.
Example : U sold straddle at 400 at 9.20 am strike 40000.
If mkt move to 40200, shift whole straddle to 40200 and do it for whole day. Eventually theta will come.
Sometimes, monthly far otms too. That too reduce margins.
Another missed point.
Wait n trade straddle :

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has submitted his answers to questions from special counsel Robert Mueller
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 20, 2018
Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.
Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.
Mueller's team was 100% partisan.
That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election
They looked high.
They looked low.
They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.
And they found...NOTHING.
Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.
What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?
THERE WEREN'T ANY.
Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.
Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen
1. Keeps following volatility super closely.
Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.
Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.
I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.

2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.
Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.

3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result
He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.
This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.

4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.
