Nifty 50 trading strategy for 30th June monthly expiry

The strategy which we are suggesting for this monthly expiry dated 30th June is a Moderately Bullish strategy called as Call Ratio Spread, which involves Buying of one lot of Nifty 15,700 Call @ 158 & selling of two lots of 15,950 Call @ 55. The cost of the strategy involves outflow of Rs 2,500 which is the maximum loss if Nifty trades & remains below 15,750 levels on expiry. The maximum profit of Rs 10,000 will be attained above 15,950 levels, while strategy will start making loss if Nifty crosses 16,150, hence it’s advisable to exit the strategy in total to avoid unlimited losses above 16,150.While the strategy will be profitable in the range of 15800 to 16100.
