Nifty Weekly Strategy Covering Long Range, Make 1.5% to 4% On Weekly Basis

A Double Diagonal Calendar Spread is an advanced options strategy that combines elements of both a diagonal spread and a calendar spread. It involves selling near-term options and buying longer-term options, but with different strike prices and expirations, to profit from time decay and volatility.

Here's how you can set up a Double Diagonal Calendar Spread specifically for Nifty:

Strategy Setup
Buy Longer-Term Options (these options have a further expiration date):

You buy a longer-term Nifty call option and a longer-term Nifty put option (with the same expiration date, typically 1-2 months out).

Sell Near-Term Options (these options have a shorter expiration date):

You sell a near-term Nifty call option and a near-term Nifty put option (with a shorter expiration date)
Strike Prices:

The strike prices for the near-term options (the ones you sell) should typically be closer to the current market price.

The strike prices for the longer-term options (the ones you buy) should be slightly out-of-the-money (OTM), but you can adjust them based on your outlook on Nifty.

Why Use the Double Diagonal Calendar Spread?
Time Decay: You are selling near-term options, which will decay faster than the longer-term options you have bought. This means you can potentially profit from the time decay of the sold options.

Volatility: The strategy benefits from increased volatility in the underlying asset (Nifty) around the expiration of the near-term options. If volatility rises, both the sold and bought options will increase in value, but the longer-term options will increase more (because they have more time to benefit from the volatility).

Risk and Reward:

The risk is limited to the net debit you pay to enter the position.

The reward potential can be substantial if the underlying asset (Nifty) moves close to one of your sold strikes at expiration, and volatility increases.

Advantages:
Limited Risk: The maximum loss is limited to the net premium paid to enter the position.

Flexibility: You can adjust the strikes and expiration dates depending on the Nifty's price action or your volatility outlook.

Profit from Time Decay: You can potentially profit from the accelerated time decay of the near-term options, especially when the market is range-bound.

Disadvantages:
Complexity: This is a relatively complex strategy, and it requires active management, especially as the near-term options near expiration.

Large Capital Requirement: As with any options strategy, you need to ensure you have the margin to hold the position, which could be substantial depending on the options selected.

Market Movement Sensitivity: You need the market (Nifty) to either stay within a range (benefiting from time decay) or move toward the strike prices you've chosen. A large price movement in either direction might reduce profitability.

Important Considerations:
Implied Volatility (IV): This strategy works best in a market with expected volatility, but if implied volatility is too low, the strategy might not provide significant profits. You need the IV of the longer-term options to rise for better profitability.

Adjustments: If the underlying Nifty index makes a strong move in one direction, you may need to adjust the positions, either by rolling the options (changing strikes or expirations) or closing out the positions to lock in profits or minimize losses.

Conclusion
The Double Diagonal Calendar Spread is a flexible and sophisticated options strategy suitable for traders who expect moderate movement and want to profit from time decay and volatility. It’s a great strategy if you have a neutral to mildly directional outlook on Nifty, with the expectation that volatility may increase over time.
