Some questions when applying Intraday Short Strangle strategy on Nifty index for option traders.

vishnu bharath 

1) When someone does an intraday short strangle on Nifty,  theoretically is it the total theta decay for the day on the P&L calculation table they are targeting for?

2) When I do short strangle, I have noticed that when there is a bit of volatility, sometimes the peak profit of the position is not necessarily at the end of the day.  Is there some general calculation that I can use in mind, to know that the profit right now on screen is at its peak than waiting till end of day. So I can manually square off the trade than waiting till 3:30 and make less than what the position has yielded during intraday?

Thank You.
