Basics of Options (Calls & Puts)
There are two main types of options:
Call Option: Gives the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at a fixed price (called the strike price) before or on the expiry date.
Example: You buy a Reliance call option with a strike price of ₹2500. If Reliance rises to ₹2700, you can buy at ₹2500 and gain from the difference.
Put Option: Gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price before expiry.
Example: You buy a Nifty put option with a strike price of 22,000. If Nifty falls to 21,500, your put gains in value since you can sell higher (22,000) while the market trades lower.
In simple terms:
Calls = Right to Buy
Puts = Right to Sell
How Options Work (Premiums, Strike Price, Expiry, Moneyness)
Every option has certain key components:
Premium: The price you pay to buy the option. This is determined by demand, supply, volatility, and time to expiry.
Strike Price: The fixed price at which the option holder can buy/sell the asset.
Expiry Date: Options are valid only for a certain period. In India, index options have weekly and monthly expiries, while stock options usually expire monthly.
Moneyness: This defines whether an option has intrinsic value.
In the Money (ITM): Already profitable if exercised.
At the Money (ATM): Strike price equals the current market price.
Out of the Money (OTM): Not profitable if exercised immediately.
