1. Strategy Recap (Previous Blog Reference)
Chart showed strong uptrend with price above all EMAs; pullback to EMA20 on 15-min; Stoch RSI oversold at 17.20 turning up. Option chain: Highest Put OI at 25,700 (support), Call OI at 26,000 (resistance); low IV. Selected: Bull Put Spread – Sell 25,850 PE @ ₹93, Buy 25,700 PE @ ₹64 (Net Credit ₹29). Entry on 15-min close >25,780 + Stoch RSI >20. 1-day hold intended for Nov 03 expiry (04 Nov).
2. Market Outcome
Nifty opened gap-down ~25,700 after bearish global weekend cues, broke below support intraday to 25,685, recovered slightly but closed at 25,774.30 (+0.03% from previous). No upside breakout; false gap-up expectations dashed. OI shift: Heavy Put OI addition at 25,700 and lower. Volatility spiked on open. Updated charts: 15-min EMA bearish crossover; 1H downtrend confirmation; Daily uptrend intact but weakened.
3. Strategy Performance
Entry (Nov 03 ~9:30 AM, post-gap but trigger met on recovery above 25,780 intraday): Sell 25,850 PE @ ₹93, Buy 25,700 PE @ ₹64 (Net Credit ₹29). Exit (Nov 03 ~2:30 PM, Nifty <25,700 trigger hit): Sell 25,850 PE bought back @ ₹105, Buy 25,700 PE sold @ ₹81 (Net Debit ₹24). 24H decay: Net theta ~₹10-12 favorable, realized ~₹11 in premium erosion despite move.
P&L in points: +₹29 credit – ₹24 debit = +₹5 points. In INR (Nifty lot 75): ₹5 × 75 = ₹375. Lot Size: Nifty = 75. Maximum drawdown: Intraday low ~₹40 net debit (temp ₹3,000 loss/lot) before partial recovery. Expected payoff: 50% target ₹1,087 if held to EOD; actual +₹375 due to early stop vs max profit ₹2,175.
4. Learning & Observations
- Daily uptrend misled intraday; gap-down broke EMA support immediately – chart analysis partially failed for 1-day horizon.
- OI supportive at 25,700 but added on downside during day – short-term misleading; theta helped but delta loss dominated.
- Execution per trade note: Stop at <25,700 saved from expiry risk; no bias, mechanical exit.
5. How to Re-Strategize
Trade failed to hit profit target but stop limited loss to small profit via theta. To maximize safely: Trail stop to entry level or roll spread up if recovery sustained. Repair: Hedge with OTM call or convert to strangle. Alternative: Post-breach, switch to short strangle or wait for range confirmation.
6. Forward View
Nifty closed 25,774 post gap-down recovery; momentum neutral (Stoch RSI ~50). Fed event tomorrow – high volatility expected. Next setup: Wait for post-Fed direction; re-enter Bull Put only on close >25,850 with volume. No immediate trade; observe expiry tomorrow.
