I take this opportunity to express my deep and sincere gratitude to the
Management of CENTRUM for their gesture of allowing me to undertake this project
and its various employees who lent their hand towards the completion of this study.
The Co-operation I received from the wide cross-section of employee of
CENTRUM makes it difficult to style out individuals for acknowledgment. However,
I am particularly indebted to Mr. R D RAJAN, Project Manager for allowing me to
carry out my project work in the organization.

INTRODUCTION:
A Derivative is a security whose value depends on the value of to gather more
basic underlying variable. These are also known as contingent claims. Derivative
securities have been very successful innovation in capital market.
Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more
basic variables, called bases (underlying asset, index, or reference rate), in a
contractual manner.
The underlying asset can be equity, forex, commodity or any other asset.
In the Indian context the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956
(SC(R) A) defines "derivative" to include:
A security derived from a debt instrument, share, loan whether
secured or unsecured, risk instrument or contract for differences or any other
form of security.
A contract which derives its value from the prices, or index of prices, of
underlying securities.
Derivatives are securities under the SC(R) A and hence the trading of
derivatives is governed by the regulatory framework under the SC(R) A.
Introduction to Derivatives:
The emergence of the market for derivative products, most notably forwards,
futures and options, can be traced back to the willingness of risk-averse economic
agents to guard themselves against uncertainties arising out of fluctuations in asset
prices. By their very nature, the financial markets are marked by a very high degree of
volatility. Through the use of derivative products, it is possible to partially or fully
transfer price risks by locking-in asset prices. As instruments of risk management,
-

these generally do not influence the fluctuations in the underlying asset prices.
However, by locking in asset prices, derivative products minimize the impact of
fluctuations in asset prices on the profitability and cash flow situation of risk-averse
investors.
Emergence of financial derivative products:
Derivative products initially emerged as hedging devices against fluctuations
in commodity prices, and commodity-linked derivatives remained the sole form of
such products for almost three hundred years. Financial derivatives came into
spotlight in the post-1970 period due to growing instability in the financial markets.
However, since their emergence, these products have become very popular and by
1990s, they accounted for about two-thirds of total transactions in derivative products.
In recent years, the market for financial derivatives has grown tremendously in terms
of variety of instruments available, their complexity and also turnover. In the class of
equity derivatives the world over, futures and options on stock indices have gained
more popularity than on individual stocks, specially among institutional investors,
who are major users of index-linked derivatives. Even small investors find these
useful due to high correlation of the popular indexes with various portfolios and ease
of use.

Factors Driving the Growth of Derivatives:
Over the last three decades, the derivatives market has seen a phenomenal
growth. A large variety of derivative contracts have been launched at exchanges
across the world.
Some of the factors driving the growth of financial derivatives are:
Increased volatility in asset prices in financial markets,
Increased integration of national financial markets with the international
markets,
Marked improvement in communication facilities and sharp decline in their
costs,
Development of more sophisticated risk management tools, providing
economic agents a wider choice of risk management strategies, and
Innovations in the derivatives markets, which optimally combine the risks and
returns over a large number of financial assets leading to higher returns, reduced risk
as well as transactions costs as compared to individual financial assets.

1. Comparison of the profits/losses in cash market and derivative market.

Derivative Products:
Derivative contracts have several variants. The most common variants are
forwards, futures, options and swaps. We take a brief look at various derivatives
contracts that have come to be used.
Forwards:
A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, where
settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at today's pre-agreed price.
Futures:
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset
at a certain time in the future at a certain price. Futures contracts are special types of
forward contracts in the sense that the former are standardized exchange-traded
contracts.
Options:
Options are of two types - calls and puts. Calls give the buyer the right but not
the obligation to buy a given quantity of the underlying asset, at a given price on or
before a given future date. Puts give the buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell a
given quantity of the underlying asset at a given price on or before a given date.
Warrants:
Options generally have lives of upto one year; the majority of options traded
on options exchanges having a maximum maturity of nine months. Longer-dated
options are called warrants and are generally traded over-the-counter.
LEAPS:
The acronym LEAPS means Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities. These
are options having a maturity of upto three years.
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
19/86
Baskets:
Basket options are options on portfolios of underlying assets. The underlying
asset is usually a moving average of a basket of assets. Equity index options are a
form of basket options.
Swaps:
Swaps are private agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows in
the future according to a prearranged formula. They can be regarded as portfolios of
forward contracts.
Interest rate swaps: These entail swapping only the interest related cash
flows between the parties in the same currency.
Currency swaps: These entail swapping both principal and interest between
the parties, with the cash flows in one direction being in a different currency
than those in the opposite direction.
Swaptions:
Swaptions are options to buy or sell a swap that will become operative at the
expiry of the options. Thus a swaption is an option on a forward swap. Rather than
have calls and puts, the swaptions market has receiver swaptions and payer swaptions.
A receiver swaption is an option to receive fixed and pay floating. A payer swaption
is an option to pay fixed and receive floating.
Participants in the Derivatives Markets:
The following three broad categories of participants:
Hedgers,
Speculators, and
Arbitrageurs.
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
20/86
HEDGERS:
Hedgers face risk associated with the price of an asset. They use futures or
options markets to reduce or eliminate this risk.
SPECULATORS:
Speculators wish to bet on future movements in the price of an asset. Futures
and options contracts can give them an extra leverage; that is, they can increase both
the potential gains and potential losses in a speculative venture.
ARBITRAGEURS:
Arbitrageurs are in business to take advantage of a discrepancy between prices
in two different markets. If, for example, they see the futures price of an asset getting
out of line with the cash price, they will take offsetting positions in the two markets to
lock in a profit.
NSE'S Derivatives Market:
The derivatives trading on the NSE commenced with S&P CNX Nifty Index
futures on June 12, 2000. The trading in index options commenced on June 4, 2001
and trading in options on individual securities commenced on July 2, 2001. Single
stock futures were launched on November 9, 2001. Today, both in terms of volume
and turnover, NSE is the largest derivatives exchange in India. Currently, the
derivatives contracts have a maximum of 3-month expiration cycles. Three contracts
are available for trading, with 1 month, 2 months and 3 months expiry. A new
contract is introduced on the next trading day following the expiry of the near month
contract...

Forward Contracts:
A forward contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset on a specified date
for a specified price. One of the parties to the contract assumes a long position and
agrees to buy the underlying asset on a certain specified future date for a certain
specified price. The other party assumes a short position and agrees to sell the asset on
the same date for the same price. Other contract details like delivery date, price and
quantity are negotiated bilaterally by the parties to the contract. The forward contracts
are normally traded outside the exchanges.
The salient features of forward contracts are:
They are bilateral contracts and hence exposed to counter-party risk.
Each contract is custom designed, and hence is unique in terms of contract
size, expiration date and the asset type and quality.
The contract price is generally not available in public domain.
On the expiration date, the contract has to be settled by delivery of the asset.
Forward markets world-wide are afflicted by several problems:
Lack of centralization of trading,
Illiquidity, and
Counterparty risk
In the first two of these, the basic problem is that of too much flexibility and
generality. The forward market is like a real estate market in that any two consenting
adults can form contracts against each other. This often makes them design terms of
the deal which are very convenient in that specific situation, but makes the contracts
non-tradable.
Counterparty risk arises from the possibility of default by any one party to the
transaction. When one of the two sides to the transaction declares bankruptcy, the
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
23/86
other suffers. Even when forward markets trade standardized contracts, and hence
avoid the problem of illiquidity, still the counterparty risk remains a very serious
issue.

Introduction to Futures:
Futures markets were designed to solve the problems that exist in forward
markets. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset
at a certain time in the future at a certain price. But unlike forward contracts, the
futures contracts are standardized and exchange traded. To facilitate liquidity in the
futures contracts, the exchange specifies certain standard features of the contract. It is
a standardized contract with standard underlying instrument, a standard quantity and
quality of the underlying instrument that can be delivered, (or which can be used for
reference purposes in settlement) and a standard timing of such settlement. A futures
contract may be offset prior to maturity by entering into an equal and opposite
transaction. More than 99% of futures transactions are offset this way.
The standardized items in a futures contract are:
Quantity of the underlying
Quality of the underlying
The date and the month of delivery
The units of price quotation and minimum price change
Location of settlement

Introduction To Options:
Options are fundamentally different from forward and futures contracts. An
option gives the holder of the option the right to do something. The holder does not
have to exercise this right. In contrast, in a forward or futures contract, the two parties
have committed themselves to doing something. Whereas it costs nothing (except
margin requirements) to enter into a futures contract, the purchase of an option
requires an up-front payment.
Option Terminology:
Index options :
These options have the index as the underlying. Some options are European
while others are American. Like index futures contracts, index options contracts are
also cash settled.
Stock options:
Stock options are options on individual stocks. Options currently trade on over
500 stocks in the United States. A contract gives the holder the right to buy or sell
shares at the specified price.
Buyer of an option:
The buyer of an option is the one who by paying the option premium buys the
right but not the obligation to exercise his option on the seller/writer.
Writer of an option :
The writer of a call/put option is the one who receives the option premium
and is thereby obliged to sell/buy the asset if the buyer exercises on him.
Types of Options :
Call Options and
Put Options.
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
28/86
Call option :
A call option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy an asset
by a certain date for a certain price.
Put option:
A put option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to sell an asset by
a certain date for a certain price.
Option Styles:
American options:
American options are options that can be exercised at any time up to
the expiration date. Most exchange-traded options are American.
European options:
European options are options that can be exercised only on the
expiration date itself. European options are easier to analyze than American
options, and properties of an American option are frequently deduced from
those of its European counterpart.
Option price/premium:
Option price is the price which the option buyer pays to the option seller. It is
also referred to as the option premium.
Expiration date :
The date specified in the options contract is known as the expiration date, the
exercise date, the strike date or the maturity.
Strike price:
The price specified in the options contract is known as the strike price or the
exercise price.
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
29/86
In-the-money option:
An in-the-money (ITM) option is an option that would lead to a positive cash
flow to the holder if it were exercised immediately. A call option on the index is said
to be in-the-money when the current index stands at a level higher than the strike
price (i.e. spot price > strike price). If the index is much higher than the strike price,
the call is said to be deep ITM. In the case of a put, the put is ITM if the index is
below the strike price.
At-the-money option:
An at-the-money (ATM) option is an option that would lead to zero cash flow
if it were exercised immediately. An option on the index is at-the-money when the
current index equals the strike price (i.e. spot price = strike price).
Out-of-the-money option:
An out-of-the-money (OTM) option is an option that would lead to a negative
cash flow if it were exercised immediately. A call option on the index is out-of-the-
money when the current index stands at a level which is less than the strike price (i.e.
spot price < strike price). If the index is much lower than the strike price, the call is
said to be deep OTM. In the case of a put, the put is OTM if the index is above the
strike price.
Intrinsic value of an option:
The option premium can be broken down into two components - intrinsic
value and time value. The intrinsic value of a call is the amount the option is ITM, if it
is ITM. If the call is OTM, its intrinsic value is zero. Putting it another way, the
intrinsic value of a call is Max [0, (St K)] which means the intrinsic value of a call
is the greater of 0 or (St K). Similarly, the intrinsic value of a put is Max [0, K
St ], i.e.
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
30/86
The greater of 0 or (K St). K is the strike price and St is the spot price.
Time value of an option:
The time value of an option is the difference between its premium and its
intrinsic value. Both calls and puts have time value. An option that is OTM or ATM
has only time value. Usually, the maximum time value exists when the option is
ATM. The longer the time to expiration, the greater is an option's time value, all else
equal. At expiration, an option should have no time value.

Option Strategy:
In finance an option strategy is the purchase and/or sale of one or
various option positions and possibly an underlying position.
Options strategies can favor movements in the underlying that are bullish,
bearish or neutral. In the case of neutral strategies, they can be further classified into
those that are bullish on volatility and those that are bearish on volatility. The option
positions used can be long and/or short positions in calls and/or puts at various strikes .
Bullish strategies
Bullish options strategies are employed when the options trader expects the
underlying stock price to move upwards. It is necessary to assess how high the stock
price can go and the time frame in which the rally will occur in order to select the
optimum trading strategy.
Bearish strategies
Bearish options strategies are the mirror image of bullish strategies. They are
employed when the options trader expects the underlying stock price to move
downwards. It is necessary to assess how low the stock price can go and the time
frame in which the decline will happen in order to select the optimum trading
strategy.

1. Long Call strategy:
Buying a call is the most basic of all options strategies. It constitutes the first
options trade for someone already familiar with buying / selling stocks and would
now want to trade options. Buying a call is an easy strategy to understand. When you
buy it means you are bullish. Buying a Call means you are very bullish and expect the
underlying stock / index to rise in future.
When to Use: Investor is very bullish on the stock / index.
Risk: Limited to the Premium. (Maximum loss if market expires at or below the
option strike price).
Reward: Unlimited
Breakeven: Strike Price + Premium
2. Short Call
A Call option means an Option to buy. Buying a Call option means an investor
expects the underlying price of a stock / index to rise in future. Selling a Call option is
just the opposite of buying a Call option. Here the seller of the option feels the
underlying price of a stock / index is set to fall in the future.
When to use: Investor is very aggressive and he is very bearish about the stock /
index.
Risk: Unlimited
Reward: Limited to the amount of premium
Break-even Point: Strike Price + Premium

3: SYNTHETIC LONG CALL: BUY STOCK, BUY PUT:
When to use: When ownership is desired of stock yet investor is concerned about
near-term downside risk. The outlook is conservatively bullish.
Risk: Losses limited to Stock price + Put Premium Put Strike price
Reward : Profit potential is unlimited.
Break-even Point: Put Strike Price + Put Premium + Stock Price Put Strike Price
4: Long Put Strategy :
A long Put is a Bearish strategy. To take advantage of a falling market an
investor can buy Put options.
When to use: Investor is bearish about the stock / index.
Risk: Limited to the amount of Premium paid. (Maximum loss if stock / index expires
at or above the option strike price).
Reward: Unlimited
Break-even Point: Stock Price Premium
5: Short put
When to Use: Investor is very Bullish on the stock / index. The main idea is to make
a short term income.
Risk: Put Strike Price Put Premium.
Reward: Limited to the amount of Premium received.
Breakeven: Put Strike Price Premium

6: Covered Call:
When to Use: This is often employed when an investor has a short-term neutral to
moderately bullish view on the stock he holds. He takes a short position on the Call
option to generate income from the option premium. Since the stock is purchased
simultaneously with writing (selling) the Call, the strategy is commonly referred to as
buy-write.
Risk: If the Stock Price falls to zero, the investor loses the entire value of the Stock
but retains the premium, since the Call will not be exercised against him.
So maximum risk = Stock Price Paid Call Premium
Upside capped at the Strike price plus the Premium received. So if the Stock rises
beyond the Strike price the investor (Call seller) gives up all the gains on the stock.
Reward: Limited to (Call Strike Price Stock Price paid) + Premium received
Breakeven: Stock Price paid - Premium Received
Strategy: 7: Long Combo: Sell a put and buy a call :
A Long Combo is a Bullish strategy. If an investor is expecting the price of a
stock to move up he can do a Long Combo strategy. It involves selling an OTM
(lower strike) Put and buying an OTM (higher strike) Call. This strategy simulates the
action of buying a stock (or futures) but at a fraction of the stock price. It is an
inexpensive trade, similar in pay-off to
Long Stock, except there is a gap between the strikes (please see the payoff
diagram). As the stock price rises the strategy starts making profits.
When to Use: Investor is Bullish on the stock.

Risk: Unlimited (Lower Strike+ net debit)
Reward: Unlimited
Breakeven: Higher strike + net debit
Strategy 8: Protective Call / Synthetic Long Put
This is a strategy wherein an investor has gone short on a stock and buys a call
to hedge. This is an opposite of Synthetic Call. An investor shorts a stock and buys an
ATM or slightly OTM Call. The net effect of this is that the investor creates a pay-off
like a Long Put, but instead of having a net debit (paying premium) for a Long Put, he
creates a net credit (receives money on shorting the stock). In case the stock price falls
the investor gains in the downward fall in the price. However, incase there is an
unexpected rise in the price of the stock the loss is limited. The pay-off from the Long
Call will increase thereby compensating for the loss in value of the short stock
position. This strategy hedges the
upside in the stock position while retaining downside profit potential.
When to Use: If the investor is of the view that the markets will go down (bearish)
but wants to protect against any unexpected rise in the price of the stock.
Risk: Limited. Maximum Risk is Call Strike Price Stock Price + Premium
Reward: Maximum is Stock Price Call Premium
Breakeven: Stock Price Call Premium
Strategy 9: Covered Put:
This strategy is opposite to a Covered Call. A Covered Call is a neutral to
bullish strategy, whereas a Covered Put is a neutral to Bearish strategy. You do this
strategy when you feel the price of a stock / index is going to remain range bound or
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
38/86
move down. Covered Put writing involves a short in a stock / index along with a short
Put on the options on the stock / index.
The Put that is sold is generally an OTM Put. The investor shorts a stock
because he is bearish about it, but does not mind buying it back once the price reaches
(falls to) a target price. This target price is the price at which the investor shorts the
Put (Put strike price). Selling a Put means, buying the stock at the strike price if
exercised. If the stock falls below the Put strike, the investor will be exercised and
will have to buy the stock at the strike price (which is anyway his target price to
repurchase the stock). The investor makes a profit because he has shorted the stock
and purchasing it at the strike price simply closes the short stock position at a profit.
And the investor keeps the Premium on the Put sold. The investor is covered here
because he shorted the stock in the first place.
When to Use: If the investor is of the view that the markets are moderately bearish.
Risk: Unlimited if the price of the stock rises substantially
Reward: Maximum is (Sale Price of the Stock Strike Price) + Put Premium
Breakeven: Sale Price of Stock + Put Premium
Strategy 10: Long Straddle
A Straddle is a volatility strategy and is used when the stock price / index is
expected to
show large movements. This strategy involves buying a call as well as put on the
same stock / index for the same maturity and strike price, to take advantage of a
movement in either direction, a soaring or plummeting value of the stock / index. If
the price of the stock / index increases, the call is exercised while the put expires
worthless and if the price of the stock / index decreases, the put is exercised, the call
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
39/86
expires worthless. Either way if the stock / index shows volatility to cover the cost of
the trade, profits are to be made. With Straddles, the investor is direction neutral. All
that he is looking out for is the stock / index to break out exponentially in either
direction.
When to Use: The investor thinks that the underlying stock / index will experience
significant volatility in the near term.
Risk: Limited to the initial premium paid.
Reward: Unlimited
Breakeven:
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Long Call + Net Premium Paid
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Long Put - Net Premium Paid
Strategy 11: Short straddle:
A Short Straddle is the opposite of Long Straddle. It is a strategy to be adopted
when the investor feels the market will not show much movement. He sells a Call and
a Put on the same stock / index for the same maturity and strike price. It creates a net
income for the investor. If the stock / index does not move much in either direction,
the investor retains the Premium as neither the Call nor the Put will be exercised.
However, incase the stock / index moves in either direction, up or down significantly,the investors losses can be significant. So this is a risky strategy and should be
carefully adopted and only when the expected volatility in the market is limited. If the
stock / index value stays close to the strike price on expiry of the contracts, maximum
gain, which is the Premium received is made.
When to Use: The investor thinks that the underlying stock / index will experience
very little volatility in the near term.

Risk: Unlimited
Reward: Limited to the premium received
Breakeven:
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Short Call + Net Premium Received
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Short Put - Net Premium Received
Strategy 12: Long Strangle :
A Strangle is a slight modification to the Straddle to make it cheaper to
execute. This strategy involves the simultaneous buying of a slightly out-of-the-
money (OTM) put and a slightly out-of-the-money (OTM) call of the same underlying
stock / index and expiration date. Here again the investor is directional neutral but is
looking for an increased volatility in the stock / index and the prices moving
significantly in either direction. Since OTM options are purchased for both Calls and
Puts it makes the cost of executing a Strangle cheaper as compared to a Straddle,
where generally ATM strikes are purchased. Since the initial cost of a Strangle is
cheaper than a Straddle, the returns could potentially be higher. However, for a
Strangle to make money, it would require greater movement on the upside or
downside for the stock / index than it would for a Straddle. As with a Straddle, the
strategy has a limited downside (i.e. the Call and the Put premium) and unlimited
upside potential.
When to Use: The investor thinks that the underlying stock / index will experience
very high levels of volatility in the near term.

Risk: Limited to the initial premium paid
Reward: Unlimited
Breakeven:
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Long Call + Net Premium Paid
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Long Put - Net Premium Paid
Strategy 13: Short strangle
A Short Strangle is a slight modification to the Short Straddle. It tries to
improve the profitability of the trade for the Seller of the options by widening the
breakeven points so that there is a much greater movement required in the underlying
stock / index, for the Call and Put option to be worth exercising. This strategy
involves the simultaneous selling of a slightly out-of-the-money (OTM) put and a
slightly out-of-the-money (OTM) call of the same underlying stock and expiration
date. This typically means that since OTM call and put are sold, the net credit
received by the seller is less as compared to a Short Straddle, but the break even
points are also widened. The underlying stock has to move significantly for the Call
and the Put to be worth exercising. If the underlying stock does not show much of a
movement, the seller of the Strangle gets to keep the Premium.
When to Use: This options trading strategy is taken when the options investor thinksthat the underlying stock will experience little volatility in the near term.
Risk: Unlimited
Reward: Limited to the premium received
Breakeven:
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Short Call + Net Premium Received
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Short Put - Net Premium Received

Strategy 14: Collar:
Collar is buying a stock, insuring against the downside by buying a Put and
then financing (partly) the Put by selling a Call.
The put generally is ATM and the call is OTM having the same expiration
month and must be equal in number of shares. This is a low risk strategy since the Put
prevents downside risk.
However, do not expect unlimited rewards since the Call prevents that. It is a
strategy to be adopted when the investor is conservatively bullish.
When to Use: The collar is a good strategy to use if the investor is writing covered
calls to earn premiums but wishes to protect himself from an unexpected sharp drop in
the price of the underlying security.
Risk: Limited
Reward: Limited
Breakeven: Purchase Price of Underlying Call Premium + Put Premium
Strategy 15: Bull call spread strategy:
In this strategy the investor will Buy call option, sell call option
A bull call spread is constructed by buying an in-the-money (ITM) call option,
and selling another out-of-the-money (OTM) call option. Often the call with the lower
strike price will be in-the-money while the Call with the higher strike price is out-of-
the-money. Both calls must have the same underlying security and expiration month.
When to Use: Investor is moderately bullish.
-

Risk: Limited to any initial premium paid in establishing the position. Maximum loss
occurs where the underlying falls to the level of the lower strike or below.
Reward: Limited to the difference between the two strikes minus net premium cost.
Maximum profit occurs where the underlying rises to the level of the higher strike or
above
Break-Even-Point (BEP): Strike Price of Purchased call + Net Debit Paid
Strategy 16: Bull put spread strategy:
In this strategy the investor will Sell put option, buy put option
A bull put spread can be profitable when the stock / index is either range
bound or rising. The concept is to protect the downside of a Put sold by buying a
lower strike Put, which acts as an insurance for the Put sold. The lower strike Put
purchased is further OTM than the higher strike Put sold ensuring that the investor
receives a net credit, because the Put purchased (further OTM) is cheaper than the Put
sold.
When to Use: When the investor is moderately bullish.
Risk: Limited. Maximum loss occurs where the underlying falls to the level of the
lower strike or below
Reward: Limited to the net premium credit Maximum profit occurs where underlying
rises to the level of the higher strike or above.
Breakeven: Strike Price of Short Put - Net Premium Received

Strategy 17: Bear Call Spread Strategy:
In this the investor will sell ITM call, buy OTM call
The Bear Call Spread strategy can be adopted when the investor feels that the
stock / index is either range bound or falling. The concept is to protect the downside
of a Call Sold by buying a Call of a higher strike price to insure the Call sold. In this
strategy the investor receives a net credit because the Call he buys is of a higher strike
price than the Call sold. The strategy requires the investor to buy out-of-the-money
(OTM) call options while simultaneously selling in-the-money (ITM) call options on
the same underlying stock index.
This strategy can also be done with both OTM calls with the Call purchased
being higher OTM strike than the Call sold. If the stock / index falls both Calls will
expire worthless and the investor can retain the net credit. If the stock / index rises
then the breakeven is the lower strike plus the net credit. Provided the stock remains
below that level, the investor makes a profit. Otherwise he could make a loss. The
maximum loss is the difference in strikes less the net credit received.
When to use : When the investor is mildly bearish on market.
Risk : Limited to the difference between the two strikes minus the net premium.
Reward : Limited to the net premium received for the position i.e., premium received
for the short call minus the premium paid for the long call.
Break Even Point: Lower Strike + Net credit
Strategy 18: Bear Put Spread Strategy:
In this strategy the investor will Buy Put, Sell Put
This strategy requires the investor to buy an in-the-money (higher) put option
and sell an out-of-the-money (lower) put option on the same stock with the same
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
45/86
expiration date. This strategy creates a net debit for the investor. The net effect of the
strategy is to bring down the cost and raise the breakeven on buying a Put (Long Put).
The strategy needs a Bearish outlook since the investor will make money only when
the stock price / index falls. The bought Puts will have the effect of capping the
investors downside. While the Puts sold will reduce the investors costs, risk and raise
breakeven point (from Put exercise point of view). If the stock price closes below the
out-of-the-money (lower) put option strike price on the expiration date, then the
investor reaches maximum profits. If the stock price increases above the in-the-money
(higher) put option strike price at the expiration date, then the investor has a
maximum loss potential of the net debit.
When to use: When you are moderately bearish on market direction
Risk: Limited to the net amount paid for the spread. i.e. the premium paid for long
position less premium received for short position.
Reward: Limited to the difference between the two strike prices minus the net
premium paid for the position.
Break Even Point: Strike Price of Long Put Net Premium Paid
Strategy 19: long call butterfly:
In this strategy the investor sell 2 ATM call options, buy 1 ITM call Option
and buy 1 OTM call option.
A Long Call Butterfly is to be adopted when the investor is expecting very
little movement in the stock price / index. The investor is looking to gain from low
volatility at a low cost. The strategy offers a good risk / reward ratio, together with
low cost. A long butterfly is similar to a Short Straddle except your losses are limited.
The strategy can be done by selling 2 ATM Calls, buying 1 ITM Call, and buying 1
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
46/86
OTM Call options (there should be equidistance between the strike prices). The result
is positive incase the stock / index remains range bound. The maximum reward in this
strategy is however restricted and takes place when the stock / index is at the middle
strike at expiration. The maximum losses are also limited.
When to use : When the investor is neutral on market direction and bearish on
volatility .
Risk Net debit paid.
Reward Difference between adjacent strikes minus net debit
Break Even Point :
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Higher Strike Long Call Net
Premium Paid
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Lower Strike Long Call + Net
Premium Paid
Strategy 20: short call butterfly:
In this strategy the investor buy 2 ATM call options, sell 1 ITM call option
and sell 1 OTM call option.
A Short Call Butterfly is a strategy for volatile markets. It is the opposite of
Long Call Butterfly, which is a range bound strategy. The Short Call Butterfly can be
constructed by Selling one lower striking in-the-money Call, buying two at-the-
money Calls and selling another higher strike out-of-the-money Call, giving the
investor a net credit (therefore it is an income strategy). There should be equal
distance between each strike. The resulting position will be profitable in case there is
a big move in the stock / index. The maximum risk occurs if the stock / index is at the
middle strike at expiration. The maximum profit occurs if the stock finishes on either
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
47/86
side of the upper and lower strike prices at expiration. However, this strategy offers
very small returns when compared to straddles, strangles with only slightly less risk.
When to use : You are neutral on market direction and bullish on volatility .
Neutral means that you expect the market to move in either direction - i.e. bullish and
bearish.
Risk Limited to the net difference between the adjacent strikes (Rs. 100 in this
example) less the premium received for the position.
Reward Limited to the net premium received for the option spread.
Break Even Point :
Upper Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Highest Strike Short Call - Net
Premium Received
Lower Breakeven Point = Strike Price of Lowest Strike Short Call + Net
Premium Received
Strategy 21: long call condor:
In this strategy the investor will buy 1 ITM Call option (lower strike), sell 1
ITM call Option (lower Middle), sell 1 OTM call Option (higher middle), buy 1
OTM call Option (higher strike)
The strategy is suitable in a range bound market. The Long Call Condor involves buying ITM Call (lower strike), selling 1 ITM Call (lower middle) , selling 1
OTM call (higher middle) and buying 1 OTM Call (higher strike). The long options at
the outside strikes ensure that the risk is capped on both the sides. The resulting
position is profitable if the stock / index remains range bound and shows very little
volatility. The maximum profits occur if the stock finishes between the middle strike
prices at expiration.
-
7/28/2019 Naresh Acl2 Proj
48/86
When to Use: When an investor believes that the underlying market will trade in a
range with low volatility until the options expire.
Risk Limited to the minimum of the difference between the lower strike call spread
less the higher call spread less the total premium paid for the condor.
Reward Limited. The maximum profit of a long condor will be realized when the
stock is trading between the two middle strike prices.
Break Even Point:
Upper Breakeven Point = Highest Strike Net Debit
Lower Breakeven Point = Lowest Strike + Net Debit
Strategy 22: short call condor:
In this strategy the investor will short 1 ITM call option (lower strike), long
1 ITM Call option (lower middle), long 1 OTM call Option (higher middle), short
1 OTM call Option (higher strike).
The strategy is suitable in a volatile market. The Short Call Condor involves
selling 1 ITM Call (lower strike), buying 1 ITM Call (lower middle) , buying 1 OTM
call (higher middle) and selling 1 OTM Call (higher strike). The resulting position is
profitable if the stock / index shows very high volatility and there is a big move in the
stock / index. The maximum profits occur if the stock / index finishes on either side of
the upper or lower strike prices at expiration.
When to Use: When an investor believes that the underlying market will break out of
a trading range but is not sure in which direction.
-

Risk Limited. The maximum loss of a short condor occurs at the center of the option
spread.
Reward Limited. The maximum profit of a short condor occurs when the underlying
stock / index is trading past the upper or lower strike prices.
Break Even Point:
Upper Break even Point = Highest Strike Net Credit
Lower Break Even Point = Lowest Strike + Net Credit

Conclusions:
Options are useful to only Speculators and Speculators can take the risk to
increase the profits:
High Risk: High Returns
Investor may loose entire premium amount if their assumptions are go wrong
Risk is limited in case of Buyer of the Call Options and Buyer of the Put
options and at the same time they may get unlimited profits with their limited
Premium/Investment.
Risk is unlimited in case of Seller of the Call Options and Seller of the Put
Options and at the same time they may get unlimited losses if their
assumptions are go wrong.
Buyer of the Call Option/Put Option = Risk is limited to premium
Reward is unlimited if the market moves with their assumptions
Seller of the Call Options/Put Options = Reward is limited to premium which
received from the buyers
Risk is unlimited if the markets moves opposite directions to their
assumptions.

Recommendations:
It is advisable to trade speculators
It is not advisable for long-term investors and small investor
The investor may loose the entire principle amount in Options
The Options life expires in one month i.e. expiry date.
Investors can not rollover/extend the contract to next month, that means buyer
as well as seller needs to excise the contract on expiry date and it is depend on
the buyer of the call options.
