PCR Trading Strategies1. The Psychology of Option Trading
Options magnify emotions: greed (unlimited gains) and fear (time decay, sudden loss). Many traders lose due to overleveraging, chasing cheap OTM options, or not respecting stop-loss. Psychological discipline is as vital as technical knowledge.
2. Option Chain Analysis
An option chain shows all available strikes, premiums, OI (open interest), IV, etc. Traders analyze max pain, OI build-up, and put-call ratio (PCR) to gauge market sentiment. Option chains are powerful tools for directional and volatility analysis.
3. Role of Market Makers in Options
Market makers provide liquidity by quoting bid-ask spreads. They profit from spreads and hedging but ensure smoother trading. Without them, option spreads would widen, making it harder for retail traders to enter/exit efficiently.
4. Index Options vs Stock Options
Index Options (e.g., Nifty, Bank Nifty): Cash-settled, high liquidity, lower manipulation risk.
Stock Options: Physical settlement (delivery), less liquid, but higher potential returns.
Retail traders prefer index options; institutions often hedge with stock options.
5. Option Writing as a Business
Many professional traders treat option writing like a business: selling high IV options, hedging risk, managing spreads. Profits come steadily from time decay, but big moves can wipe out capital if risk isn’t managed with stop-loss or hedges.
6. Options and Event Trading
Events like earnings, RBI policy, budget, elections, or global news drastically affect IV. Traders buy straddles/strangles pre-event, and sellers wait for IV crush post-event. Understanding event volatility cycles is key.
7. Taxation of Options Trading in India
Profits from option trading are treated as business income under Indian tax law. Traders must maintain proper records, pay GST in some cases, and file ITR with audit if turnover exceeds limits. This is often ignored by beginners.
8. Technology and Algo in Options
With algo trading, institutions dominate options using complex models (volatility arbitrage, delta-hedging). Retail traders now use option analytics platforms, scanners, and automation tools to compete. Speed and data-driven execution matter more today.
9. Common Mistakes in Option Trading
Buying cheap OTM lottery tickets.
Ignoring IV crush.
Selling naked options without hedge.
Overtrading on expiry days.
Neglecting stop-loss and money management.
Most retail losses come from these errors.
10. The Future of Option Trading
Option trading is growing rapidly in India with weekly expiries, retail participation, and technology. Innovations like zero-day options (0DTE) in the US may come to India. Education, discipline, and structured strategies will define success. The future promises wider accessibility but higher competition as retail meets institutional algos
Part 2 Support and Resistance1. Time Decay (Theta) in Action
Time decay erodes option premiums daily, faster near expiry. Example: An option priced ₹50 with 10 days left may lose ₹5 daily if underlying doesn’t move. This favors option sellers (who benefit from decay) and hurts option buyers (who need timely moves).
2. Volatility’s Influence on Options
Volatility is the heartbeat of option trading:
Implied Volatility (IV): Future expected volatility, priced into options.
Historical Volatility (HV): Past realized volatility.
If IV is high, premiums rise (good for sellers). Sudden IV drops after events (e.g., budget, results) can crush option buyers despite correct direction.
3. Advantages of Options Trading
Limited risk for buyers.
Lower capital requirement vs. buying stock.
Leverage enhances returns.
Hedging against market risk.
Multiple strategies for bullish, bearish, and neutral views.
This flexibility attracts both traders and investors.
4. Risks of Options Trading
Sellers face unlimited loss risk.
Buyers suffer time decay.
Sudden volatility crush (IV crash).
Complexity of Greeks.
Low liquidity in some stock options.
New traders often underestimate these risks.
5. Option Trading vs Futures Trading
Futures = Obligation to buy/sell at a fixed price.
Options = Right, not obligation.
Futures have linear P/L; options have asymmetric P/L.
Options require deeper risk management (Greeks, IV).
Both can be used together for hedging and speculation.
6. Single-Leg Option Strategies
Long Call: Bullish with limited risk.
Long Put: Bearish with limited risk.
Covered Call: Holding stock + selling call for income.
Protective Put: Holding stock + buying put for downside hedge.
These are basic building blocks.
7. Multi-Leg Option Strategies
Advanced traders combine options for defined outcomes:
Straddle: Buy call + put ATM → volatile move expected.
Strangle: Buy OTM call + OTM put → cheaper volatility bet.
Butterfly Spread: Limited risk, limited reward, range-bound outlook.
Iron Condor: Sell strangle + buy protection → income from low volatility.
8. Hedging with Options
Options allow investors to protect portfolios. Example: A mutual fund holding Nifty stocks can buy Nifty Puts to protect against a sudden crash. Farmers hedge crop prices with commodity options. Hedging reduces risk but costs premium.
9. Options in Intraday Trading
In India, options are heavily used for intraday speculation, especially in Nifty & Bank Nifty weekly contracts. Traders scalp premium moves, delta-neutral setups, or expiry-day theta decay. However, intraday option trading requires discipline due to extreme volatility.
10. Options in Swing and Positional Trading
Swing traders use options to play earnings results, events, or trends. Positional traders might use debit spreads (low risk) or credit spreads (income). Longer-dated options (LEAPS) are used for investment-style plays.
Part 1 Support and Resistance1. Introduction to Options Trading
Options are financial derivatives that give traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy (Call Option) or sell (Put Option) an underlying asset at a pre-decided price (strike price) within a specific time frame. Unlike shares where you own the asset, options provide flexibility to speculate, hedge, or generate income. Options derive their value from underlying assets like stocks, indices, commodities, or currencies, making them versatile but also complex.
2. The Nature of an Option Contract
Each option contract has four key elements:
Underlying Asset (e.g., Reliance stock, Nifty index).
Strike Price (predetermined buy/sell level).
Premium (price paid to buy the option).
Expiration Date (last valid trading day).
This structure allows traders to choose different risk/reward setups, unlike shares where profit and loss move linearly with price.
3. Call Options Explained
A Call Option gives the buyer the right to purchase the underlying asset at the strike price. For example, buying a Nifty 20,000 Call at ₹100 means you expect Nifty to rise above 20,100 (strike + premium). If it rises, profit potential is unlimited, but loss is capped at ₹100 (the premium paid). This asymmetry makes calls powerful for bullish strategies.
4. Put Options Explained
A Put Option gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price. Example: buying a TCS ₹3500 Put at ₹80 means you profit if TCS falls below ₹3420 (strike – premium). Put buyers use it for bearish bets or hedging existing long positions. Loss is capped to premium, profit grows as price declines.
5. The Role of Option Writers (Sellers)
Every option has two sides: the buyer and the seller (writer). Writers receive the premium but take on significant obligations. A call writer must sell at strike price if exercised; a put writer must buy. Sellers have limited profit (premium received) but potentially unlimited losses (especially in calls). Option writers dominate because most options expire worthless, but the risk is substantial.
6. Intrinsic Value and Time Value
An option’s premium has two parts:
Intrinsic Value (IV): Actual profit if exercised now. Example: Reliance at ₹2600, Call strike at ₹2500 → IV = ₹100.
Time Value (TV): Extra premium due to potential future price movement. Near expiry, TV decays (time decay).
Understanding IV and TV is crucial for identifying overvalued/undervalued options.
7. Option Expiry and Settlements
Options in India (like Nifty, Bank Nifty) have weekly and monthly expiries. Stock options have monthly expiries. On expiry, in-the-money (ITM) options settle in cash (difference between spot and strike). Out-of-the-money (OTM) expire worthless. Expiry days often see volatile moves as traders adjust positions.
8. The Concept of Moneyness
Options are classified by their relation to the spot price:
In the Money (ITM): Strike favorable (e.g., Call strike below spot).
At the Money (ATM): Strike = spot.
Out of the Money (OTM): Strike unfavorable (e.g., Call above spot).
Moneyness influences premium, risk, and probability of profit.
9. Option Premium Pricing Factors
Option premium is influenced by:
Spot Price of the underlying.
Strike Price.
Time to Expiry.
Volatility (Implied & Historical).
Interest Rates and Dividends.
The Black-Scholes model and other pricing models quantify these variables, but in practice, demand-supply and implied volatility dominate.
10. The Greeks – Risk Management Tools
Option traders use Greeks to measure risk:
Delta: Sensitivity to underlying price.
Gamma: Rate of change of Delta.
Theta: Time decay impact.
Vega: Sensitivity to volatility changes.
Rho: Sensitivity to interest rates.
Greeks help traders build and manage complex strategies.
Balrampur Chini: Ethanol Policy Cheer Meets Wave 2/B SetupSugar stocks have been buzzing with news flow. First, the government allowed mills to produce ethanol from sugarcane juice, syrup, and all types of molasses without any restrictions in 2025/26. With strong monsoon rains and expanded cane acreage, supplies look abundant. The move supports India’s roadmap to hit 20% blending by 2025/26.
But here’s the bitter truth: higher cane costs (₹3,400/quintal) and flat ethanol prices (~₹60–65/litre) mean ethanol margins are weak. Mills still earn far more selling sugar directly (~₹3,820/quintal). Analysts note that despite policy incentives, cane-based ethanol isn’t as profitable, leaving grain-based distilleries in a better spot than traditional sugar mills like Balrampur.
Sources:
in.tradingview.com
in.tradingview.com
Technical setup
On the charts, Balrampur Chini has worked through a W–X–Y correction into the golden 0.618 retracement (498). RSI is showing bullish divergence, hinting that selling pressure is waning.
Breakout above 522 could confirm a Wave 2/B bottom, setting up Wave 3/C toward 626+.
Invalidation sits at 485.80 — below which the corrective structure may extend.
Takeaway
While policy changes sweeten the ethanol story, pricing reality tempers the optimism. Still, the chart suggests a potential bullish swing in Balrampur if resistance at 522 breaks.

Hindustan Copper – Breakout or Double Top?After completing an impulse up to 287.65 (Wave 1) and correcting down to 226.70 (Wave 2), Hindustan Copper is now powering higher in what looks like Wave (iii) of 3.
Wave count : Wave 2 bottomed at 226.70, setting the stage for Wave 3.
Current move : Sub-waves (i) and (ii) are done, and price is pressing into resistance at 287.
Breakout zone : A decisive move above 287 could confirm the Wave 3 extension. Failure here risks a pause or even a double top.
Retracement supports : 272.75 (0.236) and 263.95 (0.382) are likely pullback zones if Wave (iv) comes into play.
Momentum check : Volume has spiked aggressively, adding weight to the bullish case, while RSI is overbought — suggesting short-term cooling is natural.
Summary : 287 is the key make-or-break zone. Break it cleanly, and Wave 3 marches forward. Fail, and we may see a corrective detour first.

Option trading 1. What Are Options?
Options are financial contracts that give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset (like a stock, index, or commodity) at a fixed price (strike price) within a certain time period.
Call Option → Right to buy the asset.
Put Option → Right to sell the asset.
👉 You pay a premium to purchase the option.
2. Key Terms in Options
Strike Price: The fixed price at which you can buy/sell the asset.
Premium: The cost of buying the option (like an entry fee).
Expiry Date: Last date the option can be exercised.
In the Money (ITM): Option has profit value.
Out of the Money (OTM): Option has no intrinsic profit value.
Lot Size: Options are traded in fixed quantities, not single shares.
3. How Options Work (Example)
Imagine Reliance stock = ₹2,500.
You buy a Call Option with strike = ₹2,600, expiry in 1 month, premium = ₹50.
If Reliance rises to ₹2,700 before expiry:
You can buy at ₹2,600, sell at ₹2,700 → Profit = ₹100 – ₹50 premium = ₹50.
If Reliance stays below ₹2,600, you don’t exercise → Loss = Premium ₹50.
This way, risk is limited to the premium, but potential profit can be much larger.
4. Types of Option Trading
Buying Calls/Puts → Simple strategy, limited risk.
Writing (Selling) Options → You receive premium but face higher risk.
Spreads & Strategies → Combining multiple options to control risk/reward. Examples:
Bull Call Spread
Bear Put Spread
Straddle
Iron Condor
5. Why Traders Use Options?
Hedging → To protect against losses in existing positions.
Speculation → To bet on price movements with limited capital.
Leverage → Small premium controls large value of stock.
Income → Option sellers earn premium regularly.
6. Pros & Cons of Options
✅ Advantages:
Limited risk (for buyers).
Lower capital needed than buying stocks directly.
Flexible strategies in rising, falling, or sideways markets.
❌ Risks/Challenges:
Complex compared to stock trading.
Sellers have unlimited risk.
Time decay → Options lose value as expiry nears.
👉 In short: Option trading is a flexible and powerful tool, but it requires solid knowledge of risk, pricing, and strategies. Beginners usually start by buying simple calls or puts before moving to advanced spreads and hedging techniques.
Part 2 Candle Stick PatternParticipants in Options Trading
Options markets consist of four main participants:
Buyers of Calls – Expect the underlying asset’s price to rise. Risk limited to premium.
Buyers of Puts – Expect the underlying asset’s price to fall. Risk limited to premium.
Sellers (Writers) of Calls – Expect prices to remain below the strike price. Risk is theoretically unlimited for naked calls.
Sellers (Writers) of Puts – Expect prices to remain above the strike price. Risk is substantial if the asset falls sharply.
Options Strategies
Option trading is highly versatile. Traders can employ strategies ranging from conservative hedging to speculative bets:
Covered Call: Holding the underlying asset while selling call options to generate income from premiums.
Protective Put: Buying puts while holding the asset to protect against downside risk.
Straddle: Buying a call and a put with the same strike price and expiration, expecting high volatility.
Strangle: Buying out-of-the-money call and put options for lower cost but with a wider price movement range.
Spreads: Combining multiple options to limit risk and potential profit (e.g., bull call spread, bear put spread).
Option Pricing Factors
Option prices are influenced by several variables:
Underlying Asset Price: Higher asset prices increase call values and decrease put values.
Strike Price: The proximity of the strike to the current asset price affects intrinsic value.
Time to Expiration: More time increases time value and option price.
Volatility: Greater market volatility increases the likelihood of significant price changes, raising premiums.
Interest Rates & Dividends: Rising interest rates increase call values and reduce put values; dividend payouts impact stock options.
The most widely used pricing model is the Black-Scholes Model, which calculates theoretical option prices based on these factors.
Advantages of Option Trading
Leverage: Control a larger position with a smaller capital outlay.
Hedging: Protect portfolios against adverse price movements.
Flexibility: Execute a wide range of strategies for bullish, bearish, or neutral markets.
Defined Risk: Maximum loss for buyers is limited to the premium paid.
Profit in Any Market: Options allow for profit in rising, falling, or sideways markets.
Risks of Option Trading
Options are complex and involve risks:
Premium Loss: Buyers can lose the entire premium if the option expires worthless.
Leverage Risk: While leverage amplifies gains, it also amplifies losses for sellers or advanced strategies.
Time Decay (Theta): Options lose value as expiration nears if the underlying price does not move favorably.
Volatility Risk (Vega): Changes in market volatility affect option prices.
Complexity: Advanced strategies can involve multiple positions and require careful monitoring.
Part 1 Candle Stick Pattern Understanding Option Trading
Option trading is a segment of financial markets that allows investors to buy or sell the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a specific time frame. Unlike traditional stock trading, options provide leverage, flexibility, and risk management tools, making them appealing for both hedging and speculative purposes.
Options are derivatives, meaning their value is derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, indices, commodities, or currencies. An option does not grant ownership of the asset itself but gives the holder the right to engage in a transaction involving the asset.
Types of Options
Options are broadly categorized into two types:
Call Options
A call option gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to buy the underlying asset at a specified price, called the strike price, before or on the expiration date.
Buyers of call options generally expect the underlying asset’s price to rise, allowing them to purchase the asset at a lower price than the market value.
Sellers (writers) of call options receive the option premium upfront but take on the obligation to sell the asset if the buyer exercises the option.
Put Options
A put option gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to sell the underlying asset at the strike price before or on the expiration date.
Buyers of put options generally expect the underlying asset’s price to fall, allowing them to sell the asset at a higher price than the market value.
Sellers of put options receive the premium but face the obligation to buy the asset if exercised.
Key Components of Options
To understand option trading, one must know the following components:
Underlying Asset – The security or asset on which the option is based (e.g., a stock like Apple or an index like Nifty 50).
Strike Price (Exercise Price) – The predetermined price at which the option can be exercised.
Expiration Date – The date on which the option expires. After this date, the option becomes worthless.
Premium – The price paid by the buyer to the seller for the rights conferred by the option.
Intrinsic Value – The difference between the underlying asset’s current price and the strike price, representing the real, immediate value of the option.
Time Value – The portion of the premium that reflects the possibility of the option gaining value before expiration. Time decay reduces this value as the expiration date approaches.
How Options Work
Let’s illustrate with an example:
Suppose a stock is trading at ₹1,000, and you buy a call option with a strike price of ₹1,050, expiring in one month, paying a premium of ₹20.
If the stock rises to ₹1,100 before expiration, you can exercise the option to buy at ₹1,050, making a profit of ₹50 per share minus the premium, i.e., ₹30 per share.
If the stock stays below ₹1,050, you would not exercise the option, losing only the premium of ₹20.
This example highlights two key advantages of options:
Leverage: You control more assets with less capital compared to buying the stock outright.
Limited Risk: The maximum loss for the buyer is the premium paid, unlike stock trading where losses can be higher.
TCS - Time to go up towards 3500+ Bullish CRAB PRZ at play
TF: Daily
CMP: 2965

TCS at Confluence of Resistance / EMA / ST/ GAP/ AVWAP / FIB
Between 3500-3550, TCS could face strong resistance on multiple fronts and they are listed below.
Daily SuperTrend
GAP Zone
50 DEMA at 3540 (retesting it after a long time, expect a rejection)
Fib retracement of 61.8% of the recent swing
Avwap from the recent swing (at 3530)
100% (abc pullback) from the swing low (at 1498)
Daily chart with Harmonic pattern, suggests that one more low at 3000 odd levels is due. The same is being observed as per the EW counts
Here is the chart with possible path/count/target destinations
Finally, this is a first bounce after a sharp correction; expect first bounces to be sold in to, similarly, first dip will be bought in to.
In all likelihood, I am not expecting TCS to go up much from here.. expecting a meaningful decline before resuming the upmove.

The Future of Futures Trading1. The Evolution of Futures Trading
1.1 Historical Background
Futures trading traces its roots to the agricultural markets of the 19th century. Farmers and merchants used forward contracts to lock in prices for crops, mitigating the risks of fluctuating market prices. The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), founded in 1848, became the first organized marketplace for standardized futures contracts, laying the foundation for modern derivatives trading. Over time, the range of underlying assets expanded to include metals, energy products, financial instruments, and more recently, digital assets such as cryptocurrencies.
1.2 The Role of Futures in Modern Markets
Futures serve multiple purposes in today’s markets:
Hedging: Corporations, financial institutions, and investors use futures to protect against price volatility in commodities, currencies, and financial instruments.
Speculation: Traders aim to profit from short-term price movements.
Arbitrage: Futures contracts enable the exploitation of price differences between markets.
Price Discovery: Futures markets provide transparent, real-time pricing signals that guide investment and production decisions globally.
2. Technological Advancements Shaping Futures Trading
2.1 Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading
Advances in technology have transformed futures trading by introducing algorithmic and high-frequency trading (HFT).
