ghosh_ak34 sir,

I have been trading in cash market and futures at times. I am very much interested in Nifty Options and have done my basic home work. Now I'm waiting for an opportunity for the 'Practicles'. As this is going to be my 1st trade @ options, could you please suggest me the levels I can take a position? I am not sure how the markets will move till the expiry!

Thanks & Regards
 
Pls suggest should I hold till expiry. Will nifty reach
6000 before expiry ?

Thanks
Let it cross 5850 first . Even if it reaches 6000, its not of any use for you . the break even for your 6000 call is 6078( add brokerage to it ) .

If your Call premiums were already fallen and only peanuts were left , hold till expiry .If you are getting something back from your calls , take it out .

Dear Friend,

Welcome to options trading.
I will not recommend any calls before expiry. The market is very much volatile and its in a narrow range. For a option to be profitable some direction is a must. I think Nifty should move either up or down consistently for atleast seven days before one could find a definite trend. The range should be a broader one. I prefer a difference of atleast 200-300 points between support and resistence Nifty levels for a Nifty options to be profitable. Volume is very important factor in options. So, lets wait till we see a trend. may be Jan would be a good month to start with. Support and resistence that I am talking about is weekly in nature and it could be calculated as under:

Pivot point = P = (H + L + C)/3

Then,
First Resistance =R1= 2P - L
And Second Support =S1= 2P - H

R1 ~ S1 = 200-300. Where H = Highs of The week, L =Lows of the week and C= Close of the week. R1 and S1 are the expected support for the next week.

Dear Friend,

IDBI charts doesn't look good currently. You can exit or hold with a SL of 1.50. Go To F&o Turnover and select your option and click squareoff. there is an option for Exercise also.

Hi ,

Thank You for your prompt reply. And I have one more doubt,
How to carry forward my IDBI Options (Expiry : DEC07) to JAN 08


Thanks & Regards
Dear Friend,

I think you are talking about rollover in options. There is no option as such but you can buy jan option and and square off dec option.

Regards

Dear Friend,

Always keep strict SL while trading. If underlying i.e. cash eq. is trading is 1% up or down then, option trades at 10% up or down approx. If idbi is at 150 then, At money call option will be call at 150 strike price. In money calls are costlier then, out of money calls. But one should buy current month's out of money calls only when the underlying is expected to move up in the current month, otherwise buy next month's out of money call.
