averaged my 4900ce to 78.5... now holding 11 lots

This is frustrating... not much change in NIFTY spot value from an hour or so... but 5000 CE price has come down from 49 to 43 odd levels... Which is suggesting that nifty may go down a bit..

Vikas, I'm unable to Short Options.. Is this not allowed or because of my broker house not allowing this?? Plz clear my doubt..

Seems 4812 is the support now to crack down and 4836 is resistance to break up...

may be you do not have enough funds... shorting single lot usually require the same margin as buying 1 lot of future

target done... 4800... buy 4800CE with SL @ 110... target 140-150

Hi,

That's what Vikas had said.
You can only buy options with the balance you have.
But if you want to short any options, you should have the balance equal to the margin of the future(stock or index).

For.e.g if the margin of the nifty future is 35000 and you want to short CE of value, Rs. 100 one lot, then the total cost of the option is Rs.5000 only, but the margin equal to 35000 is blocked during the trade.

buying does not require any margin... so if price is 100 and you buy 1 lot then you need only 5000 (50x100) while shorting it you need around 40000/- to short single lot

If you are short selling... then u need higher margin...
But if you are trying to buy put option and unable to do it then there must be some problem... any ways u can post the error u r getting while shorting... May be that will help...
