Since April 2019, I've been a full-time trader.
Have been selling index options on weekly basis for the past two years and consistently making returns.

1. Know where the market won't go:
Our minds are usually wired to be curious about where a stock or an index will move. ,
However, when it comes to option selling, we need to know where the market certainly won't go.
2: Theta/ Time Decay:
Option is a wasting asset, hence theta/time decay is a friend of option sellers.
Option sellers have a natural edge because the value of the option decreases as time goes by.
3. Benefit of premium eating of OTM options:
OTMs usually have a higher probability of going to zero, option sellers try to gobble up these strikes, and adjust their positions or exit with an SL if need be.
4. When to play non - directional:
When an index is trading within a range.
Let's say, BNF is trading within a range of 44000-42500 then one can look to sell CE options of 44k and above and PE strikes of 42500 and below.
