Re: Pls Share Common Mistakes in Option Trading
Hello Mr.Krishnamurthy,
First of all Options trading is easier to do on Nifty contracts as they more Liquidy than individual stock options.Also its relatively less complex to understand Nifty movement as compared to individual stock because any adverse/favourable news can impact significaly in the negatively/positively direction in the case of individual stock, whereas Nifty consists of Top 50 companies and its not easy to move it in either direction. Also since individual stocks are much more volatile than Nifty,its ( nifty ) also less riskier.Stop Losses get trigerred easily in case of individual stocks. Remember always Put Stop Loss whenever you use Future and Options to limit your losses. Never be greedy in this play,collect your profits,if any,and be happy.Dont try to play to frequently. And ALL THE BEST If you still want more knowledge and suggestions on Investing/trading, we can provide suggestions. My E-mail :-gausap23@**********

Re: Pls Share Common Mistakes in Option Trading
on a lighter vein....the common mistake is that when one buys a call option the price goes down , when one buys a put option price goes up and if one buys both the price stays same

Re: Pls Share Common Mistakes in Option Trading
Ya baby...here's one...hope that helps
Traded Ranbaxy about 9 months back. Wrote 1 lots @420 CA option, when stock was at 418. While stock was going down, at around 408, squared off 420CA, got greedy, wrote 2 lots 410CA for Rs 7 Rs 8. Stock came down to 403. Next day unconfirmed news of betapharm acquisition came on CNBC, even though stock rose to 412, it closed the day at 409. Next day news was confirmed, but stock closed only at 410-411. DID NOT SQUARE OFF THE CALLS, thought that stock did not react to news...so it is weak. NEXT MORNING, which was also settlement day...ha ha ha...STOCK OPENED AT 420..and closed at 448...LESSON OF LIFE...when writing options..at the first sign of clouds, take cover.

Re: Pls Share Common Mistakes in Option Trading
From My experience. Good knowledge of Technicals is basic before you start in options. I suggest first you gain good experience in technical analysis and then slowly start option trading.

Re: Pls Share Common Mistakes in Option Trading

Re: Pls Share Common Mistakes in Option Trading
Books give u option strategies, but do not give u how to run when they backfire...so my practical exp is that if u have a strategy, close the whole of it...DO NOT KEEP A PART OF IT OPEN.
