Trailing Stop loss in options

Traders Lounge

My sell position was -6000 and buy position is +4000 ,i closed the -6000 position , so todays p&l is -6000 at this time right and net p&l is -2000 right? and +4000 buy position is running , and I want to keep +3000 as stop loss , trailing Stop loss at +1500

So what do i keep in this position ? Can you tell

And instead of keeping in smart exit can’t I keep trailing Stop loss in the running buy position directly at this time ?

That P&L calculation looks right. When you close the sell side, the realized loss locks in at -6000, and the open buy position of +4000 continues to fluctuate until you close it. Trailing stop on options can be tricky since the premium decays over time — worth accounting for theta alongside price movement.

Thanks for the answer,in this situation how to set stoploss of buy position at +3000 and trailing Stop loss at 1500 in smart exit ,if the pAndl is showing -6000

And we keep trailing Stop loss later in the buy position directly in the chart ?
