Strangle — Indicators and Strategies

Strangle Mover Strangle Mover is an indicator especially made for option writer / seller who wants to do strangle and adjust the position based on the market trend / movement. It can be use for iron condor strategy too. Settings: User must know the settings of the indicator before using . First one is Option Strike Difference , user need to enter the correct option strike difference of the particular instrument / stock / indices, one can get it from option chain. For example, Nifty having 50 points differences in each option strike and bank nifty having 100 points. So, Nifty user must enter 50 and Bank nifty user must enter 100 in this setting. Second is strangle distance multiply , user can choose the distance from the trend price. For example, nifty user selects 3, strangle line starts showing (3*50) 150 points away strike from the trend area. Third is Length, default value is 20 which generally used in vwma, donchian channel and other trend finding indicators. User can change if need. Note: Option Strike Difference and Strangle Distance Multiply is very important setting to use this indicator. User must do adjustments based on their own risk and strategy. This indicator is only for education purpose.

0_dte USAGE This script guages the probability of an underlying moving a certain amount on expiration day, to aid the popular "0 dte" strategy. The script counts how many next-day moves exceeded a given magnitude in the past, under similar conditions. The inputs are: mark_mode: - "open": measures the magnitude as "open to close"--a true 0 dte. - "previous close": for lazy people who don't want to wake up early. measures magnitude from the previous day's close. move_mode: - "percent": measures moves that exceed a given percentage. - "absolute": measures moves that exceed a point value. move-dir: measure only up moves, down moves, or both. vol_model: the model for realized volatility. (may add more later). min_vol: only measure moves when realized vol is above this value. max_vol: only measure moves when realized vol is below this value. precision: number of digits printed in the output table. EXAMPLE: - mark_mode: "previous close" - move_mode: "percent" - move_dir: "up" - move_mag: 0.07 - vol_model: hv30 - min_vol: 0.2 - max_vol: 0.5 These settings will count the number of trading days that closed 7% higher than the previous day's close, when the previous day's realized volatility (annualized) was between 20% and 50%. The outputs are: - current vol: green plot. Today's realized vol. Shown for convenience. - max and min vol: red plots. Also shown for convenience. - count: the number of days that exceeded the chosen magnitude, when the previous day's realized volatility was within the chosen bounds. - total: the total number of days where realized volatility was within the chosen bounds - probability: count / total. the percentage of days that exceeded the move when volatility was within the bounds. - move: plotted as a purple line. purple "X" labels are plotted above - bars where the move exceeded the magnitude threshold and volatility was in-bounds. a "hit". CONCLUSION This script is based on the idea that realized volatility has some bearing on future volatility. By seeing what happened in the past when volatility was close to its current value, we may be able to assess the probability that our short put will be in the money, tomorrow, and our account devastated. NOTE: Unlike many of my other scripts, all percentages--both inputs and outputs--are given in fractional form. E.g., 0.01 means 1%.

portfolio_strikes A simple script for keeping track of your options portfolio. Basically, you can write one line of code per strategy (single, vertical, or strangle) to keep a line drawn on the underlying's chart, at the strike price, from the current bar until expiration. See the comments at the top of the code for more explanation.

strangle_pricer Usage: 1. Set the put and call strike inputs to values of your choosing. 2. Select "days to expiration". 3. Set the put and call standard deviations using the output table. The indicator is meant help price a strangle using historical data and a volatility model. By default, the model is an ewma-method historical volatility. After selecting strikes and standard their corresponding standard deviation, theoretical values and probabilities will be shown in the table. The script is initialized with -1 for several inputs, and won't show any data until these are adjusted. The theoretical values shown assume a strangle was bought or sold on every historical bar, and averaging their value at expiration. For example, if you choose the $50 call and $40 put when the underlying is at $45 and there are 30 days until expiration, suppose the volatility is N and these strikes correspond to M standard deviations. Input those and the resulting theoretial values shown will be based on opening a 30 dte call and put at M standard deviations with respect to the volatility at each bar. - Past volatility forecasts are plotted in blue, and hidden by default. - The current volatility forecast is drawn as a blue line. - The put and call strikes are drawn as red lines. This indicator is only meant for the daily chart! Since I won't be able to edit this description later, also check the release notes and script comments for important changes.

Intrangle - Straddle / Strangle Intrangle is an indicator to assist Nifty / Bank Nifty Option Writers / Sellers to identify the PE / CE legs to Sell for Straddle and Strangle positions for Intraday. Basic Idea : (My Conclusion for making this Indicator) 1) Last 10 Years data says Nifty / Bank Nifty More than 66% of times Index are sideways or rangebound (within 1% day) . 2) Mostly, First one hour high and low working as good support and resistance. Once First one hour complete, this indicator will show Strangle High (CE), Strangle Low (PE) and Straddle (CE/PE). Straddle: If you want to do straddle strategy, sell at the money strike (CE/PE) when price comes near to the straddle line (black line), Strangle: If you want to do Strangle strategy, sell Strangle High (CE) and Strangle Low (PE) when price comes near to the straddle line (black line). Both Strangle High and Low will be out of the money when price near to the straddle line (black line). Adjustment: option adjustment to be done based on the price movement. Adjustment purely up to the user / trader. Note1: If price not comes to near straddle line after first hour, better to stay light… Note2: If first hour not giving wide High / Low, don’t use strangle strike based on this indicator. Straddle can be done any day with require adjustment / hedge. This Indicator is purely for education purpose, user / trader has to be back-tested before their start using it. This indicator will work in Nifty / Bank Nifty only. Best Time frames are 3/5/15 Mins. This is purely made for Intraday Happy Trading 😊

Future Straddle / Strangle buy or sell indicator Future Straddle / strangle buy or sell indicator developed by Chobotaru Brothers. You need to have basic knowledge in option trading to use this indicator! The indicator shows P&L lines of the options strategy. Use only for futures since the mathematical model of options for Future instruments is different from stocks. Plus, the days' representation in futures is also different from stocks (stocks have fewer days than futures ). ***Each strategy in options is based on different mathematical equations, use this indicator only for the strategy in the headline.*** What does the indicator do? The indicator is based on the Black-Scholes model, which uses partial differential equations to determine the option pricing. Due to options non-linear behavior, it is hard to visualize the option price. The indicator calculates the solutions of the Black-Scholes equation and plots them on the chart so traders can view how the option pricing will behave. How the indicator does it? The indicator uses five values (four dominants and one less dominant) to solve the Black-Scholes equation. The values are stock price, the strike price of the option, time to expiration, risk-free interest rate, and implied volatility . How the indicator help the users? -View the risks and rewards so you can know the profit targets in advance which means you can compare different options in different strikes. -View the volatility change impact so you can know the risk and the P&L changes in case of a change in the volatility over the life of the option before you enter the trade. -View the passage of time impact so you can know where and when you could realize a profit. -Multi-timeframes so you can stay on the same chart (Daily and below). All these features are to help the user improve his analysis while trading options. How to use it? The user needs to obtain from the “option chain” the following inputs: -Buy or sell (the strategy) - Straddle/strangle price bought/sold: enter the price that you bought/sold one options strategy. -Instrument price when bought/sold: the stock price when you bought/sold the options strategy. -Upper strike price: the upper strike price of the options strategy. -Lower strike price: the lower strike price of the options strategy. -Interest rate: find the risk-free interest rate from the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY. Example: for 2% interest rate, input: 0.02. -Days to expire: how many days until the option expires. -Volatility: the implied volatility of the option bought/sold. Example: for 45% implied volatility , input: 0.45. -Day of entry: A calendar day of the month that the option bought/sold. -Month of entry: Calendar month the option bought/sold. -Year of entry: Calendar year the option bought/sold. -Risk to reward: Profit/loss line defined by the user. Minimum input (-0.95) ; maximum input (3). Example: If the strategy was bought, -0.95 means, 95% of the options strategy value is lost (unrealized). If the strategy was bought, 3 means, the risk to reward is 3. After entering all the inputs, press Ok and you should see “Calculation Complete” on the chart. The user should not change the entry date and days to expire inputs as time passes after he entered the trade. How to access the indicator? Use the link below to obtain access to the indicator
