Dear S'72,
Ok, good you did not mention ...WHEN...so I take this liberty to ask you ...by when will the NF reach 6200+?
As an options trader, we are betting on 1) the direction 2) the magnitude and 3) the speed (aka TIME...i.e. by when????)
The third point above is redundant for a stock trader / stock portfolio, but can make an options trader redundant in the market.
A point in your case, the CE 5900 bought @ 17 on Friday is now available at 11.10 (LTP) today. Not that I am saying that you are wrong (or I am right) but the market didn't crash or slump (just down by 0.8%) to inflict such a large drawdown of 35% on this position (5.90 drop over 17.0).
Just another perspective to highlight the point and gravity of the situation : I could have purchased 92 lots with the same amount (as against 60 lots you did on Friday closing) at today closing. Provided I had a strong directional view, but not with expection of NF crossing 6200 at expiry, but closing atleast 1% up tomorrow to begin with.
Regards,
At client level, it is, 1% of the free float market capitalization (in terms of number of shares) or 5% of the open interest in all derivative contracts in the same underlying stock (in terms of number of shares), whichever is higher.
