Can India VIX be used to adjust options strategies?

Yes. India VIX plays a critical role in options trading because option premiums are directly affected by implied volatility.

High VIX environment:

• Option premiums are higher.
• Strategies such as Straddles, Strangles, and hedging strategies (Protective Puts, Collars) are commonly considered.
• Traders often reduce position size and focus on risk management.

Low VIX environment:

• Option premiums are lower.
• Strategies such as Credit Spreads and Iron Condors are often preferred.
• Traders may focus on range‑bound strategies and spread trading.
