One such approach is using call and put options together<\/strong> to get a fixed profit<\/strong> or reduce risk<\/strong> in volatile markets. Here are some effective strategies:<\/p>\n Buy one ATM (At-The-Money) Call Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Buy one ATM Put Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Both options should have the same strike price & expiry<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0Best When?<\/strong><\/p>\n High volatility<\/strong> expected (before earnings, events, budget, elections, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n No bias<\/strong> on market direction (up or down)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Profit<\/strong> = If the index moves significantly (up or down), one option will gain more than the other loses<\/strong>. Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n Nifty is at 22,000<\/strong>, you buy:<\/p>\n Call Option (Strike 22,000)<\/strong> @ \u20b9200<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Put Option (Strike 22,000)<\/strong> @ \u20b9200<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Total cost = \u20b9400<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n If Nifty moves above 22,400 or below 21,600<\/strong>, you make a profit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Buy one OTM (Out-of-The-Money) Call Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Buy one OTM Put Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Both options have different strike prices<\/strong> but same expiry<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0Best When?<\/strong><\/p>\n Market is expected to become highly volatile<\/strong>, but cheaper than a Straddle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Profit<\/strong> = If the index moves significantly beyond either strike price<\/strong>. Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n Nifty is at 22,000<\/strong>, you buy:<\/p>\n Call Option (Strike 22,200)<\/strong> @ \u20b9100<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Put Option (Strike 21,800)<\/strong> @ \u20b9100<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Total cost = \u20b9200<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n If Nifty moves above 22,500 or below 21,500<\/strong>, you make a profit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Sell one OTM Call Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Buy one higher OTM Call Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sell one OTM Put Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Buy one lower OTM Put Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0Best When?<\/strong><\/p>\n Low volatility expected<\/strong> (Sideways Market)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Get a fixed profit in a range<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Profit<\/strong> = If the index stays within a defined range<\/strong>, both sold options’ premiums decay. Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n Nifty is at 22,000<\/strong>, you create an Iron Condor:<\/p>\n Sell Call (22,200)<\/strong> @ \u20b9100<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Buy Call (22,400)<\/strong> @ \u20b950<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sell Put (21,800)<\/strong> @ \u20b9100<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Buy Put (21,600)<\/strong> @ \u20b950<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Total Credit = \u20b9100<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n If Nifty stays between 21,800 and 22,200<\/strong>, you keep \u20b9100 profit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Buy one ITM Call<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sell two ATM Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Buy one OTM Call<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0Best When?<\/strong><\/p>\n You expect low to moderate movement<\/strong> in the index.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Profit<\/strong> = If the index closes near the ATM strike price<\/strong>, you get max profit.\u00a01.
