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.

@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?

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.
THREAD ON IRONFLY
— Sarang Sood (@SarangSood) December 12, 2020
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)

#Straddle #Gammascalping #Learning Success In option writing can be achieved only by adjustments based on the market developments. The same goes with straddle strategy as well. A method called gamma scalping helps to minimize potential loss in straddles. pic.twitter.com/qgSmgd8RWM

One of those strategies which I like is Iron Fly✈️
Few important points on Iron fly stategy
This is fixed loss🔴 defined stategy ,so you are aware of your losses . You know your risk ⚠️and breakeven points to exit the positions.
Risk is defined , so at psychological🧠 level you are at peace🙋♀️
How to implement
1. Should be done on Tuesday or Wednesday for next week expiry after 1-2 pm
2. Take view of the market ,looking at daily chart
3. Then do weekly iron fly.
4. No need to hold this till expiry day .
5.Exit it one day before expiry or when you see more than 2% within the week.
5. High vix is preferred for iron fly
6. Can be executed with less capital of 3-5 lakhs .
https://t.co/MYDgWkjYo8 have R:2R so over all it should be good.
8. If you are able to get 6% return monthly ,it means close to 100% return on your capital per annum.
