Nifty trading strategy for 1st September F&O expiry
Global markets may witness a sharp sell-off as J. Powell said Fed needs to keep interest rates high to tame the high inflation and hence the strategy which we are suggesting for the weekly expiry scheduled 1st September is a Bearish strategy namely PUT LADDER, which involves Buying of one lot of Nifty 17,500 PUT @ 102 & selling of one lot each of 17,300 PUT @ 48 & one lot of 17,100 PUT @ 20. The maximum profit of Rs 8,300 will be attained at 17,300 levels, while strategy will start making loss below 16,850. The cost of the strategy involves outflow of Rs 1,700 which is the maximum loss if Nifty closes & remains above 17,466 levels on expiry, however any sharper movement on lower side could result in losses and hence it’s advisable to exit the strategy in total below 16,900. Break Even points of the strategy are 17,466 on Upside & 16,866 on the lower side.
