πŸ›‘ what is 15.62means ?

- Question is what is the use from it ?
- well, it tells us that it may can stays in between mine range when market is choppy / range bound
- and it will gives us shorting strikes to do the short strangle

-then if you needed range for next one month then , use this formula
Vix /sqrt (12) = x%
where - 12 is number of month ( standard vix is calculated for one year )

for ex, vix = 15.62 , sqrt(12) = 3.46
15.62/3.46 = 4.5 %
means from today's market close to next one month nifty can go up by +4.5% or it may can go down by -4.5% .
using this we can do short strangle for one month as we know as expiry appears premium will fall , or bcz of time decay / theta

caution it doesn't include any global , investors sentiment

- if you needed tp calculate for next day
or in other words
if you needed short strangle strikes for next day use this formula
- Vix /sqrt(365) = Y%
where 365 is number of days in one year
and nifty can go up +Y% or it may can go down by -Y%

by using above and below strikes we can do short strangle (short above strike CE and Short below strike PE)
