Swing Trading
Instead of buying stocks, you trade options contracts to profit from expected price moves over a short period.
Swing traders aim to catch trends (up or down)
Options give leverage → higher potential returns (and risk)
🔹 Common Strategies
1. Buying Calls (Bullish)
You expect the stock to go up
Buy a Call option
👉 Example:
If you expect Reliance Industries to rise this week, you buy a call option.
2. Buying Puts (Bearish)
You expect the stock to go down
Buy a Put option
👉 Example:
If you think NIFTY 50 may fall, you buy a put.
3. Debit Spreads (Safer)
Reduce risk by combining buy + sell options
Example: Bull Call Spread, Bear Put Spread
4. Selling Options (Advanced)
Earn premium from time decay
Higher probability but higher risk if wrong
