So you're a platoon commander in Normandy, you've got your three infantry sections, and you need to quickly confer with your company commander. You're wireless op is ready with his WS No. 38.
Easy right?
Well... read on. /1

A dedicated wireless operator controlled the set at platoon HQ, speaking via the throat mic. /2
The design also came under heavy criticism for unreliability as the key junction box and six point lead connector was known for a troubling propensity to break. /4
If the junction box broke, it rendered a serviceable set completely and utterly useless. /5
Something that was somewhat taken for granted during earlier exercises. /6
The problem was this also provided the enemy with a rather large target to direct fire at... denoting platoon headquarters. /7
Operational research investigated but found no eye witness accounts of this *ahem* and felt it anecdotal information at best. /8
But it's the sort of the inverse blindside that assumed the enemy could discern stretcher bearer's arm bands at range.
In short, observers could quite clearly discern 38 set aerials in action. /9
Whether it did much is debatable as experiments found 38 set operators were clearly visible at 250 yards./10
Skip zones were a real challenge, as were trees, and woods, and tanks - and it was used to talk to tanks but couldn't as... for another day.
You could shout further. /11
If the wireless op became a casualty, which lets face it he has a big target painted on him, it was a big problem. /12
He also makes himself an even larger target. Any replacement was unlikely to be as good as the original w/op. /13
This led to the 38 set earning a very patchy record in action, and not being particularly popular for good reason. /14

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

2nd example by @Mitesh_Engr Sir on converting a directional trade into strangles. Option Sellers can use this for consistent profit.
• Identified a reversal and sold puts
• Puts decayed a lot
• When achieved 2% profit through puts then sold
Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.
