Part 1 Intraday Mater Class Introduction to Option Trading
Option trading is a derivative-based trading approach that allows traders and investors to profit from price movements, volatility, time decay, and even stagnant markets. Unlike equity trading—where profits depend largely on buying low and selling high—options provide multiple ways to make money, manage risk, and hedge portfolios.
An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a specified time period. The seller (writer) of the option has the obligation to fulfill the contract if the buyer exercises it.
Options are widely traded in global markets and are extremely popular in India through NSE’s F&O segment, particularly in Index options (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, SENSEX) and stock options.

Entry levels
Stop loss

Part 5 Advance Option Trading Strategies Risks in Option Trading

1. For Option Buyers
High time decay (theta loss daily)
Need strong, fast movement
2. For Option Sellers
Unlimited risk (if naked selling)
High margin requirement
Volatility spikes kill profits
3. Liquidity Risk
Wide bid-ask spreads reduce profit potential.
4. Event Risk
News announcements can cause unpredictable moves.
Part 3 Institutional VS. TechnicalHow Option Premium Works
The premium is the price of the option. It has two parts:
1. Intrinsic Value
The real value if exercised today.
For calls:
Intrinsic = Spot Price – Strike Price
For puts:
Intrinsic = Strike Price – Spot Price
2. Time Value
Extra value due to remaining time before expiration.
Options with more time left are more expensive because:
There’s more chance the trade will go in your favor.
Volatility increases the uncertainty (and potential profit).
Part 2 Institutional VS. TechnicalWhat Are Options?
Options are derivative contracts whose value is derived from an underlying asset—such as stocks, indices, commodities, currencies, or ETFs. There are two basic types of options:
1. Call Option
A call option gives you the right to buy the underlying asset at a fixed price (called the strike price) within a specified period.
Traders buy calls when they expect price to rise.
Profit increases as the underlying price moves above the strike price.
2. Put Option
A put option gives you the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price within a specified period.
Traders buy puts when they expect price to fall.
Profit increases as the underlying price moves below the strike price.
Every option has two key components:
Strike Price: The price at which the asset can be bought/sold.
Expiration Date: When the option becomes invalid.
Part 1 Institutional VS. Technical
