I have been on a holiday so haven’t updated the SoS. Here’s the status, with positions on ICICI and a Nifty call expired. No rollovers, and now I introduce a Nifty short - 200 in quantity - at today’s level (3045.25).

This is a crappy return - only 10% when the Nifty has gone down more than 30%. I haven’t done it justice, and definitely gotten out of trades before I should have, and not had a decent short retained. Lessons learnt, and I hope I’m able to perform decently going forward. Let’s see.
