Part 3 Learn Institutional Trading Purpose of Option Trading Option trading serves three main purposes: Hedging (Risk Management): Investors use options to protect their portfolios against adverse price movements. For instance, if you hold a stock, buying a put option acts as insurance—allowing you to sell the stock at a predetermined price even if the market crashes. Speculation: Traders use options to bet on future market direction. Options allow traders to gain exposure with limited capital, as the premium is usually a fraction of the asset’s full price. Income Generation: Investors can sell (write) options to earn premiums. For example, selling covered calls against owned stocks generates additional income, even if the stock price remains stable.

Part 2 Ride The Big Moves How Option Prices Are Determined Option prices are influenced by several factors. The most common model used to calculate the theoretical value of an option is the Black-Scholes Model. The key factors that affect option prices include: Underlying Asset Price: The higher the price of the asset, the higher the value of a call option and the lower the value of a put option. Strike Price: The difference between the strike and current market price affects the intrinsic value of the option. Time to Expiration: The more time left until expiration, the higher the premium (because there’s more time for the option to become profitable). Volatility: Higher volatility increases option premiums since the chance of large price movement rises. Interest Rates and Dividends: These can slightly influence option values, especially for longer-term options.

Part 1 Ride The Big Moves How Option Trading Works Option trading involves four basic positions: Buy Call (Long Call): The trader expects the underlying asset’s price to rise. Sell Call (Short Call): The trader expects the price to stay the same or fall. Buy Put (Long Put): The trader expects the underlying asset’s price to fall. Sell Put (Short Put): The trader expects the price to stay the same or rise. For example, if a trader buys a call option on a stock with a strike price of ₹100 and pays a premium of ₹5, they have the right to buy the stock at ₹100 even if it rises to ₹120. In this case, their profit per share would be ₹15 (₹120 - ₹100 - ₹5). However, if the stock remains below ₹100, they would not exercise the option and would lose only the premium of ₹5.

Part 2 Support and Reistance Key Terminology in Option Trading Before diving deeper, it’s important to understand the essential terms used in option trading: Strike Price: The fixed price at which the holder can buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying asset. Premium: The price paid by the option buyer to the seller for the contract. Expiration Date: The date on which the option contract expires. After this date, the option becomes worthless if not exercised. In-the-Money (ITM): A call option is ITM when the underlying price is above the strike price; a put option is ITM when the underlying price is below the strike price. Out-of-the-Money (OTM): A call option is OTM when the underlying price is below the strike price; a put option is OTM when the underlying price is above the strike price. At-the-Money (ATM): When the underlying asset price equals the strike price. Underlying Asset: The financial instrument (stock, index, currency, or commodity) on which the option is based.

Part 1 Support and Resistance What Are Options? An option is a financial contract between two parties: the buyer (also called the holder) and the seller (also called the writer). The buyer pays a premium to the seller in exchange for the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a specified strike price before or on a specified expiration date. There are two main types of options: Call Option – gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price. Put Option – gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price.

Real Knowledge of MarketCore Foundational Knowledge Derivatives Basics: Options are derivative contracts, meaning their value is derived from an underlying asset (stocks, indices, commodities, etc.). Key Terminology: A trader must be fluent in terms like call options (right to buy), put options (right to sell), strike price, premium, expiration date, intrinsic value, and time value. Rights vs. Obligations: Understanding that option buyers have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise, while option sellers (writers) have the obligation if exercised, is fundamental to risk assessment. Leverage: Options offer significant leverage, meaning a small amount of capital can control a large position in the underlying asset, which amplifies both potential profits and losses.

Real value of Market # Entry #Exit #Trail # StoplossThe phrase "Market # Entry #Exit #Trail # Stoploss" refers to the core parameters of a structured trading plan. The "real value" does not imply a single numerical figure, but rather the monetary gain or loss realized from a trade based on how these elements are defined and executed, combined with the discipline to follow them consistently. Market: The specific financial instrument or market being traded (e.g., a particular stock, currency pair, or commodity). Entry: The predefined price level or condition at which a trader opens a position. A good entry can offer a favorable risk-to-reward ratio from the start. Exit: The predefined strategy or points at which a trader closes a position, either to take a profit or to limit a loss. Exits are crucial as they determine the final profit or loss. Trail: Refers to a trailing stop-loss order, a dynamic risk management tool that automatically adjusts the stop-loss level as the market price moves in the trader's favor. This locks in profits while allowing the trade to continue if the price keeps moving favorably. Stoploss (SL): A pre-determined price level or percentage below (for a long position) or above (for a short position) the entry price where the position is automatically closed to prevent further losses if the market moves against the trader.

Option Trading: Basic UnderstandingHow Options Work Each option represents a contract between a buyer and a seller. The buyer pays a premium to the seller (also called the writer) in exchange for certain rights: The call option buyer has the right to buy the asset at the strike price. The put option buyer has the right to sell the asset at the strike price. If the market moves in favor of the buyer, they can exercise the option to make a profit. If the market moves against them, they can simply let the option expire, losing only the premium paid. Example: Suppose a trader buys a call option on ABC Ltd. with a strike price of ₹100, expiring in one month, for a premium of ₹5. If ABC’s price rises to ₹120, the trader can buy the stock at ₹100 and sell it at ₹120, making ₹20 profit minus the ₹5 premium = ₹15 net profit. If ABC’s price stays below ₹100, the trader will let the option expire and lose only the ₹5 premium. This limited loss and unlimited profit potential make call options attractive for bullish traders.

PCR Trading Strategies Common Option Strategies Options can be combined in multiple ways to design strategies for any market condition: Covered Call: Selling a call option against owned shares to earn premium income. Protective Put: Buying a put to hedge against potential downside on owned shares. Straddle: Buying both a call and put at the same strike and expiration to profit from volatility. Strangle: Similar to a straddle but with different strike prices. Iron Condor: A complex strategy selling two OTM options (one call, one put) and buying two further OTM options for limited risk and profit. Butterfly Spread: Combines multiple options to profit from minimal price movement. Each strategy balances risk, reward, and probability differently.

Part 1 Intraday Master ClassIntroduction to Options Option trading is a type of financial trading that gives investors the right—but not the obligation—to buy or sell an underlying asset, such as stocks, indices, commodities, or currencies, at a predetermined price before or on a specific date. Unlike owning the asset itself, an option allows traders to speculate on price movements or hedge against potential risks in the market. Options are powerful financial instruments because they can be used for leverage, income generation, and risk management. However, they also carry complexity and risk, making education essential for anyone interested in trading them.

Part 8 Trading Master Class With ExpertsHow Option Premium Is Determined The option premium is influenced by several factors, collectively known as the “Greeks.” These include: Intrinsic Value – The actual value if exercised immediately (difference between market price and strike price). Time Value – Extra premium paid for the time left before expiration. Volatility (Vega) – The higher the market volatility, the higher the option premium. Delta – Measures how much the option’s price changes with a change in the underlying price. Theta – Indicates how much the option’s value erodes as time passes (time decay). Rho – Measures sensitivity to interest rate changes. For example, an option closer to expiry loses time value faster due to Theta decay.

Part 7 Trading Master Class With Experts How Options Work Let’s take an example: Suppose you buy a Call Option on Reliance Industries with a strike price of ₹2,500 and pay a premium of ₹50 per share. If the stock rises to ₹2,600, you can exercise your right to buy at ₹2,500, making ₹100 profit per share (₹2,600 – ₹2,500), minus the premium (₹50). Net profit = ₹50. If the stock falls below ₹2,500, you will not exercise the option. You lose only the premium of ₹50. Similarly, a Put Option works the opposite way: If you buy a Put Option with a strike price of ₹2,500 and the stock falls to ₹2,400, you can sell it at ₹2,500 and make a profit of ₹100 per share minus the premium. This flexibility makes options a powerful tool for speculation and risk management.

Part 4 Learn Institutional Trading What Are Options? An option is a financial derivative contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset—such as a stock, index, or commodity—at a predetermined price (called the strike price) within a specified period. There are two main types of options: Call Option – gives the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price before expiry. Put Option – gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price before expiry. The person who buys an option is called the option buyer or holder, while the person who sells (writes) the option is called the option writer or seller.
