Ideal stocks for CATIC options strategy

CATIC options strategy is a credit spread option strategy. So a Range-bound stock with a little high IV is an ideal script for this strategy. High IV will give you good credit and the range-bound trend will give you theta decay which is the return-generation greek for this strategy.

Now look at the chart of BHARTIARTL:

After making a high of 781.80 we saw a sharp decline in BHARTIARTL. Now 670 is a good support level for BHARTIARTL, Second support level is 640. On the upside, 740 is playing a good resistance zone. So we can consider this range (640 – 740) as the monthly range for the December expiry.

Highest OI on the PUT side also indicates that 680 & 650 are the two important support levels for the current expiry. And 720 & 750 are the two resistance levels. So can we consider that 640 – 740 is our range for this expiry? and BhartiArtl is a good candidate for the CATIC options strategy?

Adjustments for CATIC options strategy in BHARTIARTL

If you look at the above strategy, you can find that 742 & 637 are the breakevens for the December expiry. So we can keep these two levels as the stop loss and close the strategy if BHARTIARTL is giving breakout or breakdown from these levels.

If you need to adjust the strategy, you can shift your sold PUT strike to higher levels if there is a successful breakout from 742 while keeping your both bought strikes as it is.

The same you can do with the sold call strike if there is any successful breakdown from 637. This means move your sold strike to lower levels while keeping your bought call strikes as it is.
