Today has been an absolute nightmare, probably one of the worst days we have faced in a while
We were carrying directional positional strategies.
The market closed around 0.6–0.7% higher yesterday. The market opened normally today, but IV exploded right from the morning, causing a massive loss in our Sensex positions.
Even after the RBI policy announcement, the premiums did not cool down.
From April last year until today more than 400 days, our maximum daily MTM swing from options trading had never crossed 0.7%. The overall drawdown from options was also below 2% for the entire period.
But today alone, we lost close to 1.7% on our positional trades.
I had initially considered avoiding expiry trades and continuing only with positional strategies. But after today, I don’t think even positional trading makes sense without understanding what has changed.
For now, we are completely stopping all option trades until we get more clarity on how the market and option premiums are behaving.
One important correction: the screenshot I shared does not show the actual extent of the options loss.
The options loss was significantly higher. A large part of it was recovered through a few futures trades
