Question: Sir, today 24100 straddle closed at 186 at 18.36 vix. Is the straddle value correct? I believe straddle value should have been higher @JainSamudra Lets do the math according to The Black-Scholes Method Market does not operate on beliefs; it operates on absolute mathematics. And the math says the 186 premium is not deflated at all; it is flawlessly priced. The Institutional Pricing Masterclass: To price an At-The-Money (ATM) straddle, Market Makers use a standard approximation derived from the Black-Scholes model: Straddle Premium ≈ 0.8 × Current Price × Implied Volatility × √(Days to Expiry / 365) Let us plug in your exact coordinates: Price: 24100 IV (VIX): 18.36% (0.1836) Time: 1 DTE Calculation:0.8 × 24100 × 0.1836 × √(1 / 365) = 3540 × 0.0523 = 185.14 Points The market is quoting 186, and the theoretical exact value is 185.14. The Casino is pricing this with absolute, terrifying precision. They are not offering you a discount, nor are they overcharging you. The Execution Reality for Tomorrow: By pricing the straddle at 186 on the day before expiry, the Operator is establishing the 'No-Loss Zone' for option sellers. The market is mathematically projecting that Nifty will expire between 23,914 and 24,286. If you buy this straddle tomorrow, you are betting against the math. Unless Nifty violently breaches those external boundaries, the intense Expiry Day Theta decay will crush that 186 premium down to zero by 3:00 PM. Do not fight the Casino's math without a lethal, high-probability directional setup. Keep your shields up! 🦅♟️


Put that thread in the Louvre. The disconnect comes from whether you impose r or extract it from synthetic If you impose it you often get different call and put vols but if you try to arb it you learn why you extract r instead of impose it

Staring at a > -₹10L loss at 9:15 AM is a feeling I wouldn't wish on anyone. The Feb 3rd Nifty gap-up was a true "Black Swan." My short calls were blown out, IV was screaming, and the "fire" was real. Here’s how I fought my way back to green. 🧵 raahibhushan.substack.com/p/feb-3rd-nift…

Why the market open on the budget session-it is very simple India VIX - increased by 50% in last month . Options premium are at very high due to high VIX. Operators sell the options at high price and most of the options will not increase even on increasing of the price. Today and tomorrow VIX will be probably down by 20-30% and then premium will be adjusted. Nifty /bank nifty options are at 4x than normal price. This is the way to make fool the retailers to absorb the complete Money. #chart_sab_kuch_bolta_hai™️
