Trading Master Class With ExpertsReal-Life Applications of Options
Options are not just trading tools; they have practical uses:

Banks use interest rate options to manage risk.
Investors use protective puts to safeguard their stock portfolios.

Sell Gold with SL 100800📌 MCX Gold Technical Outlook (₹/10g)
Context: Despite Jackson Hole and fresh rate-cut chatter, gold hasn’t managed a decisive breakout. The USD resistance near $3,390 is capping price; on MCX that maps to ₹100,800.
View
Bias tilts neutral-to-bearish unless price closes above ₹100,800. Failure to clear that cap keeps the door open for a pullback.
Key Levels (mapped with USD/INR = 87.20)
Resistance / Bull trigger: ₹100,800 (≈ $3,390)
Support 1 / First target on weakness: ₹99,100 (≈ $3,330)
Support 2 / Deeper target: ₹97,300 (≈ $3,270, approx)
Scenarios
Base case (bearish drift): Rejections below ₹100,800 → slip toward ₹99,100. If that breaks on a closing basis, extension toward ₹97,300 is likely.
Invalidation: A strong close above ₹100,800 flips momentum back up; then reassess for higher targets.
Tactics (example):
Look for retest + rejection near ₹100,800 for risk-defined shorts.
Stops just above the rejection high; targets ₹99,100 → ₹97,300 in steps.
If price bases at ₹99,100 and reclaims higher lows, consider trimming shorts or tightening risk.
Note: Levels are directly mapped from USD spot/futures anchors using your FX assumption (USD/INR 87.20):
$3,390 → ₹100,800 · $3,330 → ₹99,100 · $3,270 → ₹97,300 (approx).

Gold - Bearish ? Double Top with RSI DivergenceGold was bullish only due to empty words from Trump saying no gold in US, its missing, no one audited for 40 years, no doors and no windows in the store house etc etc. He never took efforts to go and check it or ask for audit report. so in my view its empty words from Trump. It must have helped Russia to offload its tons and tons of Gold accumulated long before the war, Thats the biggest gift Trump given to Putin to book profits in Gold. It has formed double top with clear Bearish Divergence in RSI. In my view its a Sell now and many be buy at lower levels later. No war, no covid and why any one hold Gold at these very high price ?

Part11 Trading Masterclass How Options Work
Let’s break this down with an example.
Call Option Example:
You buy a call option on Stock A with a strike price of ₹100, paying a premium of ₹5. If the stock price rises to ₹120, you can buy it for ₹100 and sell it for ₹120—earning a ₹20 profit per share, minus the ₹5 premium, netting ₹15.
If the stock stays below ₹100, you simply let the option expire. Your loss is limited to the ₹5 premium.
Put Option Example:
You buy a put option on Stock A with a strike price of ₹100, paying a ₹5 premium. If the stock falls to ₹80, you can sell it for ₹100—earning ₹20, minus ₹5 premium = ₹15 profit.
If the stock stays above ₹100, the option expires worthless. Again, your loss is limited to ₹5.
Why Trade Options?

Options require a smaller initial investment compared to buying stocks, but they can offer significant returns.

C. Income Generation
Writing (selling) options like covered calls can generate consistent income.
D. Strategic Flexibility
You can profit in bullish, bearish, or neutral markets using different strategies.

GOLDHello & welcome to this analysis
Comex GOLD appears to have completed its triangle and is now likely to give a breakout above 3439 for an upside target of 3750.
The triangle goes invalid if we witness a sell off from current levels and it breaks 3250 on the downside.
MCX Gold appears to have a Cup & Handle formation (similar to a triangle) and is now likely to confirm a breakout above 101075 for upside targets of 103750 - 106200 (will depend a lot on $:INR).
The Cup and Handle pattern goes invalid if we witness a sell off from current levels and breaks 99250 on the downside.
Overall use dips to add/trail, shorting (intra day would be a different scenario) overnight from here looks like a very risky trade.
All the best
