There are few key parameters that contribute to a option writing system
- Spot value
- Time of entry
- Time of exit (or Target/ Trailing SL/ Loss SL)
- Distance of CE and PE legs on both sides
- Weekday (Friday, Monday etc)
- Time to expiry
- Other parameters – Greeks, Volatility/VIX , OI etc
I have been crunching BankNifty options data for the past few quarters, trying to find the ideal setup. I got the following matrix –
All the numbers are absolute BankNifty points (premium increase/ erosion) per day.
For BankNifty setup (and Zerodha broker), 1 point is approximately 2 bips. 50 points is 1% on your traded capital.
How to read this table –
Loss days – Number of days when you would have incurred loss
Min profit – Max loss if you dont have a SL. The min profit is as low as -619, which is 12% of trading capital getting wiped out if you do not have a SL, during major moves!
Average profit – Average profit if you dont have a SL
Maximum profit – Maximum Profit
Maximum profit with SL
Average profit with SL – Average profit if you square off positions at a defined SL
I have been using this matrix in various other forms (different SL, entry points, distance from strike etc), and I entered at 400 points away from SPOT today. The expected points is 70 point per day if you implement a strict SL.
The sum of the combined premium when I entered was 170 and if you check the screenshot when the image was taken (2021-08-11 14:51), the combined premium is as low as 87 points (or 83 point decay), clearly above the “70 point decay per day” benchmark!
X Axis – Minutes starting from 9:15 Y Axis – Premium CE, PE and Combined (Strangle=CE+PE)
Margin required is approx. 5L and today’s ROI is 0.44% per day!
I am constantly trying to add more parameters to this setup – Top 3 OI, VIX (very hard to crack, but doable), ATR, RSI, Super Trend etc, to remove false positive entries and/or predict big moves that will go against this setup.
Do post your questions and/or comments in our forum or telegram group.
Nice Set-up but but
Spot value
Time of entry
Time of exit (or Target/ Trailing SL/ Loss SL)
Distance of CE and PE legs on both sides
Weekday (Friday, Monday etc)
Time to expiry
Other parameters – Greeks, Volatility/VIX , OI etc
All above points needed for a clear rule based set-up. Do you have designed those rules. Looks promising

Yes, we have the rules for this system
Thanks for the reply… How do I learn this rules. Can you share.,? I am one of your students. I am also there in your whatsapp group. NBN Option selling G5.
