Dear all
Please clarify my simple query regarding option writing.
Please consider the following eg:
I feel that the market is trending upwards and hence I do the below trade for April-16 expiry
Sell one Nifty PE 7750 at 50 with spot Nifty at approx 7850.
Please correct me if the below mentioned assumption is right:
In theory when I write a put option at 7750 I am not expecting the nifty to drop to below 7750.At the same time if the nifty trades above 7750 during expiry I get to keep the premium of 50 (X no of units).
Hence in theory my loss is unlimited but profits are limited to the premium amount.
However theory is much different from practical and hence my question is what happens to my investment in following scenarios
Awaiting your kind consideration

- What happens to my trade if Nifty closes at 7700
- What happens to my trade if Nifty closes at 7750
- What happens to my trade if Nifty closes at 7800
- In case of a wild swing say downwards to 7500 or upwards to 8200
Awaiting your kind consideration
