Hi @chetan_kushwah,

The strikes under consideration can’t be farther from the spot by more than 6 strikes, for example - if Nifty is at 19500, it will be -

  • ITM strikes - Nifty 19200 CE, 19250 CE, 19300 CE, 19350 CE, 19400 CE, 19450 CE
  • ATM - 19500 CE
  • OTM strikes - 19550 CE, 19600 CE, 19650 CE, 19700 CE, 19750 CE, 19800 CE

Hope this clarifies your query.
