Popular Options Trading Strategies in India
1. Covered Call Strategy
When to use: When you are moderately bullish but want income if markets remain sideways.
Example: Suppose you hold 1 lot of NIFTY Futures at 19,500. You sell a NIFTY 19,800 Call option for ₹120. If NIFTY closes below 19,800, you keep the premium as profit.
Pros: Extra income from holdings.
Cons: Profit capped if NIFTY rallies too high.
2. Protective Put
When to use: When you are bullish but want downside protection.
Example: Holding BANKNIFTY Futures at 45,000 and buying a 44,000 Put at ₹200. If markets fall, your losses are limited.
3. Straddle
When to use: Before big events like RBI policy or Budget announcements.
Example: Buy NIFTY 19,500 Call and 19,500 Put. If volatility spikes, one side gives big profits.
4. Strangle
When to use: Similar to Straddle but with cheaper entry.
Example: Buy NIFTY 19,700 Call and 19,300 Put. Profitable if NIFTY makes a big move.
5. Bull Call Spread
When to use: Moderately bullish market.
Example: Buy NIFTY 19,500 Call at ₹200, Sell 19,800 Call at ₹100. Net cost = ₹100. Maximum profit = ₹200.
6. Bear Put Spread
When to use: Moderately bearish outlook.
Example: Buy BANKNIFTY 45,000 Put at ₹250, Sell 44,500 Put at ₹120. Net cost = ₹130. Profit capped, risk defined.
7. Iron Condor
When to use: In low-volatility sideways markets.
Example: Sell NIFTY 19,200 Put + 19,800 Call, Buy 19,000 Put + 20,000 Call. Limited risk, steady income.
