📌 Strategy Deployment Across Expiry

1. Start of Expiry till 10th → Futures Naked (with SL)

Objective: Capture early trend moves when new positions are built.

Logic: At the start of the series, option premiums are inflated due to high time value, so futures give cleaner directional exposure.

Risk Control: Strict stop-loss is a must to protect capital from sudden reversals.

2. 11th – 20th → Option Selling (with SL)

Objective: Take advantage of time decay (theta) as options lose value mid-series.

Logic: Market often consolidates in the middle phase unless triggered by events, making option selling attractive.

Risk Control: Strict stop-loss.

3. 21st till Expiry → Futures Hedged with Options

Objective: Participate in expiry-week volatility but with defined risk.

Logic: Last week usually sees sharp moves due to rollover, short covering, or event-based volatility.

Risk Control: This ensures limited downside while keeping directional exposure.

✅ This way, we are aligning strategy with the natural rhythm of the expiry cycle:

Early → Trend play

Middle → Theta play

Late → Hedged volatility play
