Advice For Retailers Based on India Vix

If you are option buyer, then I would like to advice you to trade with less quantity and book small points like 15-20 in the Nifty and 25-30 in the Banknifty when India Vix is below 14 as market moves less.

Similarly, you can follow vice-versa when the market is giving good moves like Nifty 200-300 points daily and 400-500 points in banknifty.

The reason behind this advice is that if you are an option buyer and India Vix is low, it will lead to less movement, hence premium will decay.
