Hi Illango sir, Viren & mynac...am sorry. These days its getting difficult for me to participate or trade since am caught up with busy schedules both domestic and official.

@ Viren's qurey y'day :
5000 PE showing reduction in OI.
Now y would PE writers do that in the middle of an upmove?
Can the OI analysts on the blog confirm the reduction??


Actually, writers tend to define the market range for the immediate short term. They fix the possibile range for the market. That way they should be guaged. Normally, as far as my understanding goes ( plz correct me if am wrong ), writiers tend to shift their base in a trending moves to arrest the erosion of value b/c of time and liquidity. It is very obvious to grasp the logic of OI build up. Yes, the retail participation is higher nowadays but i think it would be of much significance to alter anything since their volumes would be very meagre when compared to seasoned campainers. Another significant point to be noted here is, besides the regular writing, the OI does also involve more hedging strategies which, of late, have gained significance with insititutions and people using various option strategies to hedge.

Buildup of 5200 PE OI almost confirms Illango sirs point made y'day that 5300 is on the cards. means, 5200 would act as a base for the coming trading sessions. In this scenario, you can see build up of 5100 PE to 5300 or 5400 CE.

Anyways has any corrective views plz share...I hve just put in my views.

thanks

Ka,

Thanks for your input.

To the best of my knowledge, (and here I speak about the institutional angle) writers form a view for a particular expiry ( nothing less) and buidup OI in anticipation for the same.As rightly mentioned these are hedges for their positions in stock futures/ cash.

I disagree with you that they tend to shift their base becuase of time erosion and liquidity, becuase when writing, time is your friend.However if a position does not go their way, they tend to take another postion in the opp direction to offset their loss. This explains the steady buidup of OI throughout the month.

A writer will close his losing position only in the last few days of expiry...a winning poition he will let expire worthless. This also explains the huge volatility around expiry.

Sukanya said...

Hi, I have been following this blog for some time and found interesting to learn the process, to master the process. Sir, is there a link to explain how to interpret the table.

@Viren,

do you think that at this point SELLING a Nifty March call with strike price at 5350-5400 is a good idea? Assuming you are well capitalized etc. ... appreciate your view. thanks

Good luck & Best wishes to you.

Viren said...

Student of market,

Based on current calculations, 5370 and 5100 should not be overcome for this expiry.

So you are safe with 5400 call, however do note that with the low IV and current uptrend your return will be neglible.

You are safer writing the 5000 or 5100 put.
