Core Options Strategies for Intraday & Swing Trading
Here are powerful, proven strategies—each includes “when to use,” Indian-market context, example, risk/reward, and pros/cons:
Covered Call
When: Slightly bullish, expect limited upside.
Example (NIFTY Intraday): Hold NIFTY futures intraday and sell a near-the-money Call to collect premium, hedging small upside while earning income.
Pros: Income generation, risk cushion.
Cons: Profit capped if price surges rapidly.
Protective Put
When: Bullish but managing downside.
Example (BANKNIFTY Swing): Buy a Put while holding a long position; protects against sharp adverse moves overnight.
Pros: Downside defined.
Cons: Reduces profit via premium cost.
Straddle
When: Expecting high volatility around events, but unsure of direction.
How: Buy ATM Call & Put. Profitable if index swings big intraday or over a few days.:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Pros: Direction-neutral strategy.
Cons: Time decay, premium cost.
Strangle
When: Expecting volatility, lower premium.
How: Buy OTM Call & OTM Put—cheaper but needs bigger move to profit.:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Pros: Cost-effective entry.
Cons: Lower probability of profit.
Bull Call Spread / Bear Put Spread
When: Moderately directional expectation with controlled risk.
Example (NIFTY Swing): Buy 19,500 Call, sell 19,800 Call—limited risk & reward.
Pros: Low cost, defined risk.
Cons: Capped profits.
Iron Condor
When: Low-volatility range-bound scenarios.
How: Sell Call/Put near current price and hedge with OTM wings—profit if index stays within range.:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Pros: Steady income, limited risk.
Cons: Vulnerable to breakouts.
Intraday-Specific Tools & Patterns
Speed matters intraday. Technical tools help identify short-term setups:
- Intraday Momentum Index (IMI): Like RSI but for intraday sentiment—good for catching quick reversals.:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- RSI & Bollinger Bands: Spot overbought/oversold and volatility squeezes—triggering reversals or breakouts.:contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- Breakout Patterns (e.g., ORB): Trades based on opening range or chart patterns.:contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
One real-world example: A trader uses a volatility contraction pattern (VCP) on a 5-minute chart around the 21 EMA to time intraday breakouts.:contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
