Divergence Explained with ClarityOption Trading in India: Settlement and Expiry In India, options are European-style, meaning they can only be exercised on the expiry date (unlike American options, which can be exercised anytime). Most traders don’t hold options till expiry — they square off (buy or sell back) before expiry to realize profits or cut losses. Expiry cycles: Index Options (like NIFTY/BANK NIFTY): Weekly and Monthly expiries. Stock Options: Monthly expiries only. The settlement happens in cash; there’s no physical delivery for index options, while stock options can have physical settlement at expiry.

Part 2 How to Draw Accurate Support and Resistance LevelsParticipants in Option Trading There are four primary participants in the options market: Buyer of Call Option (Long Call) – Expects the price to rise. Seller of Call Option (Short Call) – Expects the price to fall or remain flat. Buyer of Put Option (Long Put) – Expects the price to fall. Seller of Put Option (Short Put) – Expects the price to rise or remain flat. Each participant has a specific risk-reward profile. Option buyers have limited risk (the premium paid) and unlimited profit potential. Option sellers, on the other hand, have limited profit (premium received) but potentially unlimited risk.

Part 1 How to Draw Accurate Support and Resistance LevelsThe Key Components of an Option Contract Underlying Asset: The financial instrument (e.g., stock or index) on which the option is based. Strike Price: The price at which the holder of the option can buy (for calls) or sell (for puts) the underlying asset. Expiry Date: The date on which the option contract expires. In India, options can be weekly or monthly. Premium: The price the buyer pays to purchase the option contract from the seller (also known as the writer). This premium is non-refundable. Lot Size: Each option contract represents a fixed quantity of the underlying. For example, one NIFTY option lot equals 50 units, while one BANK NIFTY option equals 15 units.

Part 2 Understanding the Master Candle ConceptWhat Are Options? Options are derivative instruments, meaning their value is derived from an underlying asset. The underlying asset can be a stock, index, commodity, or currency. There are two types of options: Call Option: Gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying asset at a specific price (called the strike price) before the expiry date. Put Option: Gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying asset at a specific price before the expiry date. For example: If you buy a NIFTY 50 call option at a strike price of 22,000, you are betting that the NIFTY will rise above 22,000 before expiry. If it does, your call option increases in value. If you buy a NIFTY put option at 22,000, you’re betting the index will fall below 22,000 — and the value of your put option will rise as the index drops.

Understanding the Master Candle ConceptOption trading is one of the most exciting and flexible segments of the financial markets. It allows traders to profit not only when prices rise, but also when they fall — and even when they stay relatively stable. In simple terms, an option is a financial 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 period. In India, options are primarily traded on stock indices (like NIFTY 50 or BANK NIFTY) and individual stocks on exchanges like the NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange). Option Trading in India – Regulations Option trading in India is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Contracts are standardized and traded through exchanges like NSE and BSE. All participants must trade through SEBI-registered brokers, and margins are monitored daily to control risk.

Advanced Option Trading StrategiesHedging and Portfolio Protection Strategies Options are not just for speculation; they are powerful tools for hedging existing stock portfolios. Hedging means protecting against potential losses due to adverse price moves. Popular Hedging Techniques: Protective Put: Buy a put option against long stock holdings to limit downside. Collar Strategy: Hold stock, sell a call, and buy a put — ideal when you expect limited movement. Index Options for Portfolio Hedge: Traders holding multiple stocks often hedge using Nifty or Bank Nifty puts instead of individual stock options.

Candle Pattern Explained There are two primary types of options: Call Options and Put Options. A Call Option gives the buyer the right to purchase an underlying asset at a specific price (called the strike price) before or on a certain date (known as the expiry date). Traders buy calls when they expect the price of the asset to rise. Conversely, a Put Option gives the buyer the right to sell the asset at the strike price within a specific period. Traders buy puts when they anticipate the asset’s price will fall.
