Weekly Expiry analysis and Options strategies for July 27, 2023
How to avoid losing in weekly options? Read in this weekly expiry analysis and option strategies newsletter.
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 beginners 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 pay 1-1.5 lakh? Some are taking because they don’t have that much funds and trading based on the hope that this trade will convert their small account into a huge one.
Here is one thing we need to understand very clearly, 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 that will work against you, He is offering because he knows that probability to make money in this contract is very low. Out of 10-20 contracts, just 1-2 will make actual money.

So before we start trading 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 the probability of making 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 options greeks that are Delta and Theta. Delta will tell you the sensitivity of that particular strike i.e. how 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 of becoming 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 have 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 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 the delta to know whether you can make money in that trade or not. Let us understand this with an example.
Let's 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. To 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 discovered that our profit was reduced due to the low delta. If we want to profit here, we must select a strike with a higher delta. A higher delta will result in a higher profit, which will easily exceed 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.

Nifty Weekly Expiry analysis and Options strategy
After consolidating in a range for 2 weeks, we saw a good rally this week in Nifty. Nifty made a new all-time high and almost touched 20000 mark. Which a good sign for long term investors.
Now when trading at all-time high, 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 around 19739 is the small support, currently Nifty is facing. Immediate support is around 19500 where Nifty was consolidating before giving this breakout.
A breakdown from 19500 will trigger further levels on downside. On the upside 20000 is the psychological level that needs to break for further upside level.
I follow Fibonacci tool and based on the tool my next target is 20500. That's need to hit for further consolidation.
So as per the current chart, 19500 - 20000 is the range that we can follow for the coming week.
One more thing you should keep in mind here is: INDIA VIX is increasing slowly. So next few sessoion would be highly volatile. Trade with proper risk management.
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.
Do not try to keep yourself ahead of the market or don’t try to beat the market, let the market give a clear indication, then we can react accordingly.

Nifty weekly expiry Strategy: Iron Condor
In the above strategy, the risk is high compared to the premium we got. So take a trade only if you can afford to lose that max loss.
I choose this Mouse Ear Iron condor this week instead of normal iron condor because I want to keep my range braod and minimise the loss if there is one side movement. Compare to iron condor this strategy will give you less loss if there is any breakout or breakdown from your breakevens.
Adjustments for Nifty Weekly Strategy:
Initially, you can keep a stop loss of 19500 & 20000 for this strategy. Means square off if you find nifty is giving a breakout or breakdown. Or you can do this adjustment too. ( Do not hold this strategy is loss is more than 4000₹ with 1 lot).
If you find that Nifty is giving a breakdown and sustaining below 19500, then square off call spread and bring it down to 400 points lower levels.
The same thing you can do with put spread means if you got a breakout from 20000. You can shift your put spread to 200 points up.

From the last few weeks, BankNifty is trading in a range of 44500 – 46000. The more it consolidate in the range the chances of a fall will reduce. Same thing we saw on Thursday where BankNifty gave a breakout and made a new all-time high.
Now 46000 is the level that we need to keep on radar. If Banknifty manages to sustain above this level, we may see some more upside levels in the coming week.
Breakdown will fall again in the range of 44500 - 46000.
