How to improve Expiry Trading as a Seller and a buyer?

Learning about different concepts, techniques, and data points does this rapidly.

1. How to develop a framework to trade in ATM strikes on expiry day? Subhasish Pani on @vivbajaj Sir's channel.

One of call or put at ATM is going to go to zero.

Whichever is moving rapidly has a higher probability of going ATM/ITM. Sell the slower one.

2. How to trade a big gap up on expiry day?

If market bias is bullish and a gap up happens, it comes for selling.

Can buy puts at the breakout of an inside candle as the market has a good probability of at least heading towards the previous day's close.

3. How to trade in Bank Nifty if it has already moves 160 points from its high to low by 11:30? @ThetaGainers

Sell near otms with double stop loss.

Avoid if stuck in a very small range.

Get out of both by 1pm.

4. Subhasish Pani explains how to play expiry when Nifty and Bank Nifty both are behaving differently.

By the way, his zero to hero logics are:
1. Big candles are supports/resistances
2. Gaps act as S/R
3. Closing price acts as S/R

5. How to use data points to trade expiry? @ThetaGainers

Starts by selling 15-20 rs strangles at 9:20 which are very far otm.

By 10:30 am he starts to look at Change in OI strikes on line charts to predict zero strikes.

6. Mr. P R Sundar explains how he usually plays expiry days for a flat move most of the time.

Forms a range and sells puts when the market comes down, sells calls when the market is near the high of the range.

Put an SL for all options post 2:30 pm.

7. How to make a profit post 3pm by exploiting the close price? @itjegan

Sells straddles, if the call and put premiums are 4x of the other.

Sells whichever options goes below 10 with an SL.

This alone accounts for 10-15% of his expiry day profits.

8. Reeyansh from @ThetaGainers explains how to do gamma scalping on expiry days by buying options.

Waits for a range to form on expiry till 1:30 pm.

If any move comes, buys options with good risk-reward.

Or buy both at 1:30 and square off when double.

9. How @itjegan Sir makes a high profit on expiry days?

Re-enters strikes, locks the profits, and keeps re-entering and does adjustments.

Drawdowns are less compared to his profits by doing all these.

10. How to use PCR and Change in Open Interest to gauge the direction of the expiry?

Explained well by @nitinmurarkasmc and @PushkarRThakur.

Whichever side has a high Change in OI whether call or put look to buy options on the opposite side near VWAP.
