Bank Nifty option chain trading strategy:

Traders should look for writing call and put options and grab the premium. As the probability of bank nifty to expire in 28000 to 28500 range is quite high. Still, trading is game purely based on probability, that’s why it is risky.

But to be on the safer side we can keep 100 points buffer to this range and start looking for 27900 put option and 28600 call option.

Stop loss will be to exit this trade if bank nifty breaks 28000 – 28500 range on a closing basis. Here closing basis means if the bank nifty breaks this trading range and it is already 3:25 pm. Then most likely the range is broken and a breakout is confirmed then you should exit from this trade.

Targets should be to grab the entire premium of the options at the time of writing them. So will be holding it till the weekly expiry.

Note: This is a combined trade, so hold both the legs of these options if you are holding. Exit both instruments while you are exiting.
