Life in the market is never dull. Make money or lose money, there is no complaint about the market being boring. The day after budget was also volatile though not to the extent seen on February 01.
See the ups and downs. We had to take some action and sit through all these moves.
In the early trades, our setup had gone into a loss. Keeping patience till NIFTY moved to 17600 level for the first time in the day around 10:00 AM helped.
PUT 17900 FEB 02 was exited at Rs. 290 and CALL 17900 FEB 02 exited at Rs. 5.80.
Just after that CALL 17600 FEB 09 and PUT 17600 FEB 09 were sold at Rs. 206 and Rs. 156 respectively.
Towards the end of day, volatility eased up or whatever happened, premiums came down which is good for our trades.
Let us see where we stand now.
