Short strangle

Volatility Nifty 50 Neutral Undefined risk

Built to profit from the size of a move rather than its direction (long) or from a lack of movement (short).

Range-bound view, wider profit zone than short straddle.

Everything below this point is computed live from Nifty 50's current option chain for these exact legs — not a static example. Max profit, max loss, margin, Greeks, and the payoff chart all update together each time this page refreshes.

Legs

Every leg that makes up this strategy — Buy value shows the price at this morning's market open (used to compute Current P/L further down), Price is the current live premium.

ActionOptionStrikeBuy valuePriceQtyIVOI
Sell CALL 25,250.0 — 197.7 1 18.2% 1,986,595
Sell PUT 25,050.0 — 163.5 1 16.99% 828,685

Profit & loss

Max Profit and Max Loss are the best and worst outcomes across every price the underlying could reach by expiry. Net Premium is what changed hands opening the position (negative means it was paid, positive means it was collected). Current P/L is what the position is actually worth right now versus this morning's open — real movement, not a projection.

Required margin is live SPAN + exposure margin from Upstox, including hedge benefit across legs — this is what a broker would actually block for this trade, not a max-loss estimate. Shows "—" if it can't be verified live rather than a guessed number.

Trade details

Risk : Reward compares max loss to max profit — a 1 : 2 reading means the potential gain is twice the potential loss, though it says nothing about which outcome is more likely. Avg Implied Vol is the average across this strategy's own legs, which can differ from the single-strike IV shown on the Screener.

Payoff chart

Profit or loss at expiry across a range of prices for the underlying — the shape of this line, not the strategy's name, is what actually defines the position. Where it crosses zero matches the breakeven figures shown above.

Move the cursor over the chart to see price, P/L, and the nearest strike at any point.

Greeks (net position)

The sum across every leg, not any single option's own Greeks — buying and selling legs partially offset each other, so this position's net Delta, Gamma, Theta, and Vega can look very different from what any one leg shows on its own.

Delta
-0.64
Gamma
-0.1096
Theta / day
2,931.44
Vega
-1,332.90

Computed via Black-Scholes from each leg's strike, implied volatility, and days to expiry — position-level, scaled by lot size and quantity.

Conclusion

Everything on this page is one strategy's full picture, computed fresh from Nifty 50's live chain — its legs, its real payoff shape, and its genuine broker margin, not estimates borrowed from a table, alongside its actual net Greeks. Compare it against other strategies on the Scanner, or open the Builder to adjust any of these legs directly.
