Nifty 50 trading strategy for 23rd June F&O expiry
The strategy which we are suggesting for the weekly expiry scheduled on 23rd June is PUT LADDER, which involves buying one lot of Nifty 15,300 PUT @ 183 & selling one lot each of 15,100 PUT @ 113 & one lot of 14,900 PUT @ 68. The maximum profit of Rs 9,900 will be attained at 15,100 levels, while strategy will start making loss below 14,700. The cost of the strategy involves a marginal outflow is Rs 100, which is the maximum loss if Nifty closes & remains above 15,300 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 14,700. Break Even points of the strategy are 15,298 on upside and 14,698 on the lower side.
