1/THREAD: UNDERSTANDING PRICE TRANSMISSION VIA ARBITRAGE $ABXX $ABXXF
TL;DR: While I couldn't possibly be more bullish @abaxx_tech, today is NOT the day to buy the U.S. ADR $ABXX, which is trading at a ridiculous premium to the last $ABXX (Canadian) close.
WAIT FOR TOMORROW!
They're not up because the companies got better. They're up because Canadian markets are closed. The connection isn't obvious
$ABXX is the Canadian ticker. This company has tremendous prospects, and no doubt in my mind the stock is headed MUCH higher long-term.
But that his NOTHING to do with why the price literally doubled this AM.
The result: the price spiked to +92% from the prior close instantly! BUT...
Why not? One reason is that few investors holding ABXXF have any desire to sell it. But NORMALLY, there would have
So the ARBs can't buy ABXX and that means they can't sell ABXXF. They have no source of shares to buy in Canada and
With no ARBs selling, what happens to price? It goes to the moon instantly because people were buying ABXXF this morning but there was nobody holding ABXXF that was willing to sell it. The price literally (almost) doubled in an instant!
Some astute ABXXF holders who ARB's the price inefficiency today are very likely to buy back
But the massive price spike in $ABXXF this morning was mostly an anomaly due to $ABXX being halted for the Canadian holiday.

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.

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.

2nd example by @Mitesh_Engr Sir on converting a directional trade into strangles. Option Sellers can use this for consistent profit.
• Identified a reversal and sold puts
• Puts decayed a lot
• When achieved 2% profit through puts then sold
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.
