Part 9 Trading Master Class

Options in Indian Markets

Options are hugely popular in India, especially on NIFTY & Bank NIFTY.

Weekly expiries (every Thursday) attract massive trading.

Liquidity is high → easy to enter/exit.

Retail traders mostly buy options, institutions mostly sell options.

Example:
Bank NIFTY at 48,000.

Retail traders buy 48,500 CE or 47,500 PE hoping for movement.

Institutions sell far OTM options like 49,500 CE or 46,500 PE to collect premium.

Psychology & Discipline

Most beginners lose in options because:

They only buy OTM options (cheap but low probability).

They ignore time decay (premium melts fast).

They overtrade with leverage.

Success in options = discipline, risk control, strategy, patience.

Pro tips:

Never put all money in one trade.

Understand probability – 70% of options expire worthless.

Use stop-loss and position sizing.
