1. First of all one should know when to do a straddle, ideally when premiums are good and view is ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ž๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ๐ฌ or when you are not expecting a huge trend.

2. When you do place a straddle, you will have good premiums so you will be covered for a good amount of move.

3. Find your breakevens, and ideally delta should also be neutral.

4. Do not adjust until your BEP is breached or the delta exceeds (+/-)40, whatever happens first, generally delta limit will breach first.

5. When delta reached lets say -40 it means you have to roll puts.

3/n
6. Just book profits in the current short put and roll put up by matching the premiums, delta should again be close to neutral but one can choose to have a little -ve delta since if there is mean reversion, PEs will spike.

7. This means you will be going Inverted(Short ITM)

4/n
8. Keep repeating the same process until expiry OR till either one option reaches 100 delta which will mean that you basically are short/long one future lot.

9. As soon as any option reaches 100 delta, just book the straddle be it in loss or profit, dont adjust at all.

5/n
10. While doing this keep in mind a loss limit(1-2% of cap), just get out if loss gets out of hand. "You cant play if you dont have chips"
