Every cost on this page is the cost of holding this at-the-money call. The put at the same strike decays at about the same rate.
Premium is neither notably cheap nor notably dear against its own recent range.
NIFTY's own ATM IV, ranked against prior sessions · 1000 readings · same read as Home
A futures buyer pays this much over spot to hold Nifty until expiry instead of buying the stocks. It shrinks to zero by expiry day.
Four signals this repo had built and never connected, now computed every cycle from the chain already in hand. They are logged and shown, never scored — no gate reads them and no confluence count includes them. Promotion to a scoring role needs a backtest against real outcomes first, which is the discipline that built the fade-mode strategy, measured it at 30% over 23 sessions, and switched it off on that evidence.
This page is deliberately about COST, not direction. On 28 Aug the desks' entries were close to a coin flip (51.0% across 51 closed trades) and the money left through the clock: 24 of those exits were the time running out, at a mean of −1.87%, while the four that reached target averaged +18.70%. Direction was not the weak half.
Nothing here is assumed. An IV percentile with too little history reports unknown rather than the 50th percentile, and a decay figure without a readable expiry is left absent rather than modelled from a guess.
