(Data: 17th Sept. 2007 to 21st Sept. 2022) (Nifty Levels: 4,518.45 to 17,718.35) (data source: @YahooFinance):
From the above chart it is clearly visible that more than actual gains came over night.
Note: Decimals have been ignored, that’s why actual calculation might slightly differ.
Multiplicative Method:
Actual Nifty Returns: 292%
Of which Overnight Returns were: 3,580%
And Live Market Returns were: -89%
i.e., Nifty Returns (292%) = { 1 * (1 + 3,580%) * [1 + (-89%)]-1 }
Additive Method:
Actual Nifty Returns: 13,200 points (292%)
Of which Overnight Returns were: 34,166 points (756%)
And Live Market Returns were: -20,966 points (-464%)
Nifty Returns (292%) = (756% - 464%)

Lost around 1.8% of total capital (i.e., ~4.5% of Margin blocked) at opening (STBT Options) on both #Nifty50 & #BankNifty (Unhedged) was carrying bullish positions on both (more PE Shorts and Less CE Shorts)

Risk Management is very very important when dealing with options, I am (at least currently) not in favour of buying hedges as a part of Risk Management, in long run, hedges hurt your overall profit, instead sell options considering Notional Value.
(2/n)
Pros of Buying Hedges:
1. Lower Standard deviation in returns 2. Linked pro, to above point: Due to lower Standard Deviation, If you are also an intraday option seller, lesser deviation in STBT means lesser deviation in Margin/funds available for intraday option selling
