Sir,
I have few querries wrt options
1) If i sell a call option & do notcover it till expiry. What happens.
2)What are the circumstances under which the premium of calls will close higher for the day of expiry than its previous day..
3) on 25th april nify closed at 5198 and 5200 ce at 25. I sold 5200ce @25/- of april expiry on 25th. Now 26th april being expiry what will happen if i do not cover my position and nifty closes at 5415.
Hope you understood my querries.
Following are the answers to your queries:
1) It depends on whether the call is ITM, OTM or ATM.
2) If the close of underlying on expiry day higher than previous day, the premium of calls
may close higher for the day of expiry than its previous day.
3) Congratulations on your profit of 25(*50 per lot) bucks (including other charges) if you didn't close the position on that day. :thumb:
If nifty went to 5415 on that day, you had to shell out (5415-5200-25)*50 bucks per lot or 9750 bucks per lot as well as other charges.
