Perils of Predicting a Market Top
One thing we never seems to learn is that the markets have their own rhythm. We tried catching a market turn with our naked long nifty put call and so far we have been proved totally wrong.The markets have rallied like before. This also shows us the perils of buying options. A spread reduces our cost and risk while giving us a healthy profit. But coming to our trade. We have to see how to salvage it without denting our pockets too much.

Hi option Wala,
Now the Nifty is trading around Rs 2560.
Suppose if i sold a 2550 Call @ Rs 40
and at the end of the expiry
Nifty is around Rs 2650
Now iam leaving it to square the short position by the exchange the
(2650 - 2550) = 100
I got the premium = Rs 40
Now my loss would be RS 60 (6000)
or (10000)
Can u clarify this asap.
Hi Anon,
your loss would be 100-( the premium you get)40 ie Rs60.
Regards
