21 May 2025 : Strategy Suggestions (22 May Expiry, 25000 CE @ ₹40)


1. Bear Call Spread (Safe Play)

  • Sell 24900 CE @ ₹70
  • Buy 25000 CE @ ₹40
  • Net premium received: ₹30
  • Max profit: ₹1,500 per lot
  • Max loss: ₹2,000 per lot (if Nifty closes above 25,000)
  • Breakeven: 24,930

Why it's good: Decent profit if Nifty stays below 24,900. Lower margin, defined risk.


2. Call Ratio Spread (Better Profit)

  • Buy 1 lot 25000 CE @ ₹40
  • Sell 2 lots 24900 CE @ ₹70
  • Net premium received: ₹100 (70x2 - 40)
  • Max profit zone: 24,900–25,000
  • Unlimited loss above 25,000 — unless hedged.
  • To hedge risk:
  • Buy 1 lot 25100 CE @ ₹20
  • Net premium after hedge: ₹80
  • Max profit: ₹4,000–5,000 if Nifty closes 24,950–25,000
  • Max loss capped beyond 25,100


3. Most Profitable Low-risk Trade Right Now:

  • Sell 24900 CE @ ₹70
  • Buy 25100 CE @ ₹20
  • Net premium: ₹50
  • Max profit: ₹2,500 per lot
  • Max loss: ₹2,500 per lot (if Nifty crosses 25,100)

Why it works: 70-20=50 net received. Risk capped. Profit if Nifty remains under 24,900 by expiry.

Risk-Reward Ratio: 1:1, but high probability (about 63-65%) in your current RSI divergence scenario.

Strategy Reasoning

  • The market is showing signs of exhaustion at 25,000–25,100
  • Selling call options at this level allows us to capture high premiums while expecting them to expire worthless or depreciate rapidly
  • 25000 CE buy acts as a hedge against a sudden breakout, keeping our risk capped
  • The payoff structure favors a range-bound or mildly bearish market before expiry

 When to Adjust?

  • If Nifty breaks and sustains above 24,800–24,850 with volumes → Close or adjust position
  • If market drops below 24,500 → Let Theta and premium erosion work in our favor


 Final Thoughts

This is a classic limited-risk, high-probability expiry strategy designed to profit from a market struggling at resistance. With RSI overbought, resistance overhead, and negative price action, the odds favor a sideways to slightly negative move.
