If we want to trade in F&O, we have to create a view

If our view is bearish, then following strategies can be deployed.
1⃣ Buy Put

👉If our view is to bearish, we can simply buy ATM put and ride the downward momentum.

👉Risk would be limited to the premium we have paid
Reward would be unlimited, as long as it goes below (strike price- premium paid).
Example :

You bought 17200 put option at 135.9

Max loss is nifty lot size = 50 * premium paid

50*135.9 = 6795

In order to be in profit on expiry it should close below 17200 - 135.9 = 17064

Called as breakeven shown in chart👇
✅Bear Spreads

👉Spread strategies are used when our view is neutral to bearish

👉These strategy's are limited risk and limited reward strategies.
2⃣Bear Put Spread (Debit Spread)

👉We use only put to trade our bearish view

👉In this spread we buy a put option at ATM strike and sell a put option below that strike

👉Risk is limited to the premium which got debited
👉Reward would be limited when it goes below the sold strike.

Example : We bought 17200 put at 135.9

Now, we sell below strike 17050 at 75.85

In order to be in profit Nifty at expiry should be below 135.9 - 75.85 = 60.05

So, 17200 - 60.05 = Rounding off to 61 so 17139 👇
3⃣Bear Call Spread (Credit Spread)

👉We use only call option to trade our bearish view

👉In this spread we sell a call option at ATM strike of and buy a call option above that strike

👉Risk is limited and when it goes above sold call option strike price.
👉Reward is also limited as long as it trades below sold strike price.

Example : Sold 17200 at 109.6

And bought 17350 at 51.3

So, in order to be in profit it has to trade above
109.6 - 51.3 = 58.3

Now, breakeven is at 17200 + 58.3 = 17258 as shown in below chart👇

👉Short strangle means,
Selling OTM call option and Selling OTM put option

Here is a detailed thread on short strangle


👉Generally, this strategy gives good returns when market is sideways but most trader get wrong entries and wrong exist

👉Ahead of major event option price will increase because of uncertainty. We have to take advantage of that

👉As the VIX is the derivative of option price, we have to check this parameter first

When VIX is >20, it is the right opportunity to deploy short strangle

👉If we look at the weekly and monthly candles of nifty, it is easier to identify which strikes to choose

Entry conditions:

👉VIX >20
👉Choose the strikes which are 6% above and below of nifty in next month contracts
👉Combined premium should be in the range of 160-170
👉Next month contracts should be taken at the mid of current month
