Upstox - RKSV - Trade in Rs 20 Max

@ RKSV ,

A query regarding a scenario in an Option trade !!

If I have bought a Banknifty ITM Put and after a big fall in the market it becomes a Deep ITM then the spread between the Bid & Ask becomes very large . Almost it seems that as a seller I am unable to find a buyer at a reasonable price keeping my profit intact. The spread is so large that I don't want to compromise with my profit. If I don't close the trade[in this case sell the option]till Expiry then what will be the scenario after expiry for me [assuming that the market remains subdued and my deep ITM Put still has a big spread in Bid & Ask].

Generally I close my trades within a stipulated time or if the target is met . But I want to be clear about this scenario as this situation may warrant to compromise a lot on the profit front.

Thanks.
Hi rocky,

Hope you are doing well. As per your question, if for example you bought BNF 12100PE when BNF is at 12000, now there is a big fall and BNF falls to 11450 on the expiry day and your contract becomes illiquid, and you let the position expire.

In this case the exchange will close the position and the value of your option contract will be Rs. 650 (because 12100-11450). Lot size is 25 so 650*25= Rs.16250/- So the exchange will settle the contract at the settlement price of the underlying, and the bid/ask will not matter.

But the thing is you will be charged a higher rate of STT of 0.125% on settlement value. Which is indeed very high.

Thanks soft trader . I was somewhat unsure about this scenario. You clarified it quite nicely . The spread sometimes becomes so large that even this rate of STT will suffice to lock profits. :)

Hi Madhan,

We have already started using NEST for MCX. We are planning to migrate equity, F&O, and currency to NEST in a few months too.
 
They are very conservative, and also they want to learn first and than they want to apply...............:)
Yes true ..the best way of success is learn first and then apply... rksv is good in all aspects except the trading platform they provide,of course initially they were providing NOW Express which gives live quotes, suddenly one day nse has stopped this feature without information.. and there started the problem .. its very difficult to refresh for every few seconds .. and i have been informing this inconvenience to rksv from longtime..
