NSE Nifty 50 trading strategy for 7th July weekly expiry
The strategy which we are suggesting for the weekly expiry scheduled on 7th July is PUT LADDER, which involves buying of one lot of Nifty 15,800 PUT @ 213 & selling of one lot each of 15,600 PUT @ 131 & one lot of 15,400 PUT @ 76. The maximum profit of Rs 9,700 will be attained at 15,600 levels, while strategy will start making loss below 15,200. The cost of the strategy involves a marginal outflow is Rs 300, which is the maximum loss if Nifty closes & remains above 15,800 levels on expiry, however any sharper movement on lower side could result in losses and, as an extra put has been sold it’s advisable to exit the strategy in total to avoid unlimited losses below 15,200. Break Even points of the strategy are 15,794 on upside & 15,194 on the lower side.
