Strategy description

NIFTY 50 Advanced Options Selling Strategy (Unhedged)

This strategy is a positional options selling approach in the NIFTY 50, designed to capture short-term directional momentum while maximizing premium income through unhedged positions.

It follows a Sell Today, Buy Tomorrow (STBT) framework, where trades are initiated during the morning session and carried overnight, with exits executed on the next trading day.

Capital Requirement

The minimum capital required to execute this strategy efficiently is ₹3,00,000.

This capital ensures sufficient margin availability for unhedged option selling, while maintaining disciplined position sizing despite higher risk exposure.

Strategy Structure

This strategy focuses on selling NIFTY 50 options without any hedging, aiming to capitalize on:

• Time decay (theta)
• Short-term directional momentum
• Volatility expansion or contraction
• Overnight price movements

Trades are typically entered during the morning session, when liquidity is strong and option premiums are optimally priced.

Since the positions are unhedged, the strategy offers higher premium capture, but also carries significantly higher risk.
