Action: BUY
Expiry: Feb10
Option Type: Both call and put
Strike Price: 5400 call and 4900 put
Units: Buy 2 units of 5400 call  and 1 unit of 4900 put

Rationale: Volatility expansion with Bullish view

Analysis: -  
The market has been moving in a narrow range with the volatility remaining low for a long time.
The undercurrent is bullish and a momentum run is likely to happen anytime soon, the implied volatility of calls being much lower than that of puts.
To cash in on the above views, an additional call is added to the 5400 call and 4900 put strangle.
