Option Strategy March 2010

It is time to implement our strategy for this month. Our decision to wait till the budget event to get over has really paid well. Now the market is at least 5% above the budget levels.

Before discussing this month strategy here is my post which describes our option strategy

This month I am following a staggered approach when you will only sell options which are worth half of your margin money. Since I am slightly bullish on the market I expect to sell rest of the options as the market goes up from here.

Sell the following call options

March 5200 Call Option at 50Rs – 6x lots


March 5300 call Option at 19Rs – 4x lots (this is optional I had some margin left so I sold this one)

April 5300 Call Option at 74Rs – 6x lots

April 5400 call Option at 45Rs – 10x lots

May 5100 Call Option at 210Rs – 2x Lots

This time the premium is slightly low as most of the market men expect a correction (which is another reason why the market goes up)
 
Tomorrow if the market is up then i plan to deploy another 20% of the margin money by selling higher call options. however if the market goes down then i would wait and just watch these options decay :-)

Reliance will be the key to hold market upward....may go 50 to 60+ will not surprice if IT sector help market to go above 5200+

Yes that is correct. In my case that 5200 Call is the riskier one. I have taken that risk because i am having a feeling that the market has risen too fast.
