- What are options and how I'm generating my Monthly Cheque with options strategies?
Hello folks! Hope you are doing good. Every week in our weekly expiry analysis post, We are trying to find the range for coming weekly expiry along with the options strategies we can follow in Nifty and BankNifty.
Every week, I’m getting so many questions from novice traders related to options trading. One most asked question is, “How to avoid losing in weekly expiry options?” Today in this weekly expiry analysis post, I will try to answer this question.
How to avoid losing in weekly expiry options?
Most of the beginner’s thought that options trading is simple. Just buy a CALL if you are bullish or buy a PUT if you are bearish in any particular script. But It’s not that simple.
In this futures & options segment, there are 2 products. One is Futures and the second is Option. In nature, both are the same but the behavior is different. Both are giving you the power to hold specific quantities of that particular script. But for one product (Futures), we have to pay 1 – 1.5 lakh, and for the other product (option), we just need to pay 10k – 15k to carry one lot of that particular script where the value of that contract is around 10 lakh.
People think that when we can get the instrument with the same nature in just 10k – 15k, why to pay 1 – 1.5 lakh? Some are taking because they don’t have that much of fund and trading based on the hope that this trade will convert their small account into a huge one.
Here one thing we need to understand very clearly, that if someone is offering a contract, whose value is around 10 lakh, in just 10k – 15k, then there must be some factors behind that contract which will work against you, He is offering because he knows that probability to make money in this contract is very low. In out of 10-20 contracts just 1-2 will make actual money.
So before we start trading in options, we have to learn these factors first. These factors are Greeks and Implied Volatility. These are the foundation of Option pricing. And if you don’t know how to calculate option pricing (premium), you can’t make money here.
These factors will tell you what is the probability to make money in any particular strike? What is the intrinsic value or time value? and What will be the impact of an increase or decrease in Implied Volatility? I’m not going deep into these components in this post because I have already written a detailed article. You can go through it.

How to choose a strike for weekly expiry?
In this article, we will talk about just 2 option greeks that are Delta and Theta. Delta will tell you the sensitivity of that particular strike i.e who much your option premium will move in respect of the movement in the underline asset. Theta will tell you what is the time value or how much you will lose in a day if you are holding that option.
Delta will start decreasing if you are going from. ITM to deep OTM (out of the Money) options. So Lower the delta, lower the sensitivity. or we can say, Lower the delta, lower the probability to make money. So if you are thinking to BUY a deep OTM option because Premium is low, you have to understand that the probability to make money is also low.
- So before you choose a strike, always calculate what is the probability to become this OTM option into an ITM option. Because only ITM options have the intrinsic value (or real value) on expiry.
The second greek is Theta. The higher the theta, the higher the premium you will lose in a day just by holding it. In simple words, this is the cost you are paying to hold an option for one day. So before you choose your strike, always calculate what is the theta value of your trade.
Lower theta means lower is the cost to hold that strike. Like, if you analyze that nifty will go 100 points up in the next 3 days. So to hold an option for the 3 days, how much you will lose because of theta.
Always subtract that cost from your position value and then calculate your probability based on delta to know whether you can make money in that trade or not. Let understand this with an example.
Let say, you analyze that Nifty will go 100 points UP in the next 3 days. Now you are buying a strike with a delta of 0.30 and theta of 26.60. Too calculate how much we will make or lose, first we need to calculate the profit we will get from the movement i.e (0.30 * 100) *75 = 2250₹. (here 0.30 is the delta, 100 is the price movement and 75 is the lot size)
Now calculate the loss due to theta i.e (26.60 * 75) * 3 = 5985₹. So, net P/L = (profit we get from movement – theta decay) = 2250 – 5985 = -3735₹. You can see that your analysis was right, nifty hit your 100 points target but you are still losing.
We saw that we have got less profit due to low delta. If we want to make money here, we need to choose a strike with a higher delta. Higher delta will give us higher profit which can easily surplus our loss due to theta decay.
So always do these simple calculations before entre in any trade and choose your strikes based on the greeks. In starting you may find it a little tough but believe me these are the simplest calculations you can do to take a high probability trade. Just need to put a step forward to learn how to implement these terms in your options trading.

After made a low of 14151.40, we saw a good rally in Nifty. Nifty made a new all-time high. Nifty is trading in the all-time high zone from the last 2 weeks. Now, what next?
Now we have two possibilities here:
- Either Nifty can go higher to touch the new all-time high
- or it may fall down due to profit booking.
To calculate the further levels, let us look at the range nifty is holding right now.
If you look at the chart, you can easily spot the current Nifty range i.e. 16000- 15500. A breakdown or breakout is required for the further level. So we have to wait for the proper signals to initiate a new directional trade. Till then trade with range-bound strategies only.
One more thing you should keep in mind here is: INDIA VIX is going down continuously and there is no clear breakout in INDIA VIX too. So I suggest, don’t take any directional trade here. Focus more on range-bound strategies for stress-free trading.
The overall trend is UP and there is no clear sign of weakness. I always say that we need to focus more on reaction instead of prediction. Right now, we are getting Uptrend that why we are bullish. Once we got a breakdown we can adjust our positions and change our views.
