What should investors/ traders do?
Investors and traders should continue to look for sectors which are either outperforming or are witnessing retest of breakouts to have higher probability of success. Stocks like JSW Steel and Kolte Patil look good for another 7-8% upside. In midcaps, Triveni Engineering looks good for a 15% upside in the coming days.

What should investors/ traders do?
We are suggesting a ‘call ladder’ strategy for this weekly expiry on September 9, which involves buying one lot of Nifty 17,350 call at Rs 86 and selling one lot each of 17,500 call at Rs 36 and one lot of 17,600 call at Rs 19. The maximum profit of Rs 5,950 will be attained at 17,500 levels, while the strategy will start making loss above 17,720. The cost of the strategy involves outflow of Rs 1,550 which is the maximum loss if Nifty trades and remains below 17,380 levels at expiry. Above 17,720 it is advisable to exit the strategy in total to avoid unlimited. Breakeven points of the strategy are 17,720 on the upside and 17,380 on the lower side. Stocks like Godrej Consumer, Reliance, TCS, SBI Life, Brigade, DLF, Deepak Nitrite and Aurobindo Pharma can do well in the near term.
