Vineet Mehra discusses his bread-and-butter strategy for
option selling, which involves using the central pivot range (CPR) and the
super trend indicator. He clarifies that he is not only backtesting but also
actively trading this strategy, aiming for a return of 30-35% per year. The CPR
is calculated using the weekly high, low, and close, and it consists of a
pivot, top pivot, bottom pivot, and resistance (R1) and support (S1) levels.
The pivot is an essential data point as it indicates the
balance between buyers and sellers, and the R1 and S1 levels act as strong
support and resistance levels, respectively. Mehra emphasizes the importance of
understanding market dynamics and the significance of high, low, and close data
points in determining these levels.
Vineet Mehra discusses a case study where they decided not
to take a trade due to the price being overstretched and it being an event
week. They also share their experience of learning the importance of creating a
setup for trading and the value of sharing knowledge. The speaker, who has

him. They emphasize the importance of continuous improvement and helping others
in the trading community.
