Topic: HOW TO TRADE IN RISING PREMIUMS SCENARIO
Option sellers specially Straddle sellers feel that rising premiums give them excellent opportunity to make easy money. So what they are seeing is the theta aspect of options & ignoring the delta/gamma/vega forces.

There will also be very few instances when premiums don't fall till expiry day. So with each delta move the cost of holding a straddle gets accumulated & pressure keeps mounting for the stubborn option sellers.
5/
Compulsive straddle sellers can keep a close SL & do quick scalping. But such profits don't give you much satisfaction, as speculation element is high in such trades.
6/
There are many option strategies like Ratios, Ladder, even far OTM naked/spread selling which can give good opportunity to take advantage.

If one can find a way to forsee how volatility or direction is going to play out, then it's a different ball game altogether.
10/
Patience is the key & being ready to let go of some premium decay. Don't get caught up in FOMO.
11/
In this scenario, we could have sold inflated OTM calls, which were not falling.
12/
When market bounced back calls also fell at first. If market starts rising, we can start neutralizing our position.
13/
• If IVs are falling then sell otm puts
• If IVs are increasing then buy higher delta calls to make Call ratios
The above example is when we want to trade directional & take advantage of rising premiums.
