Nifty Strategy for the week
This week, traders can initiate a Moderately Bullish strategy with reduced premium outflow & lower breakeven point called BULL CALL SPREAD of 1st December expiry wherein traders can buy one lot of 18,500 call strike at 110 and simultaneously sell one lot of 18,750 call strike at 18, so that net outflow or maximum loss will be restricted to up to Rs 4,600. Nifty on expiry, if closes above the breakeven point of 18,592, the strategy will start making profits. The maximum gains will be restricted up to Rs 7,900; because the gains of long 18,500 strike call will be offset by the sold 18,750 strike call if Nifty closes above 18,750 on expiry.
