Option Strategy for budget session in Nifty and BankNifty

Hello Friend, As you know the budget session is about to start on February 1st, 2023. In today’s article, I’m sharing Budget Special option strategies for Nifty and Banknifty.

Before we go further, Let me share some important points that we need to keep in mind before taking any trade in the event like budget session.

This type of event will be highly volatile. You may get sharp movement in either direction. So the first thing we need to do is: Keep your risk Limited. Choose a strategy that has limited risk on both sides.

The second step is, Choose a strategy that you can manage well. This means all the adjustments or trading plans should be ready before entre in that particular strategy.

Last but not the least, Diversify your basket. Don’t just deploy the entire capital in one strategy. Keep minimum 3-4 different strategies with different market views. It will help you to minimize the risk and drawdown.

Remember one thing: Profit will not come which strategy you are deploying. Profit will only come, How well you manage your trade.

– Sachin Sival

So your trading plan Or Adjustment should be ready for every situation you may face in the coming sessions.

I’m a low-risk trader, and I usually advise beginners to avoid trading during highly volatile events. So, if you are not an advanced trader and do not know how to manage your trade effectively, you should sit back, relax, and enjoy the day. The budget option strategy I’m sharing here is only for experienced traders.
