Kedar,

What do you mean by taking a reverse position? Square off?

Options on stocks are not liquid, and if at all you want them, stick to the big ones. On the other hand, I will suggest you to only trade Nifty Options - no problem there, plenty of liquidity and action.

Thanks SS , i will trade only nifty options

My understanding is that when nifty goes up , premium on put should go down & vice versa also premium on call should go up & vice versa.

that is the relation is that when stock price increases premium on call also increases & premium on put decreases.

Right

But i observed that when nifty went down day before yesterday premium on some put options closed with decrease & premium on call options closed with rise.
Is this not ???


How this is possible???


Kindly see the attachment , i marked the contracts red having contraversial behaviour & share your knowledge & experience please



Thanks in advance

The valuation of Options invloves some complex calculations, based on say the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model etc.

Suffice to say, that the longer the duration of an Option, higher the premia, as there is a time value. This is what kills most Option buyers, ie, when one buys a say a Put Option, the underlying must tank within a very short time say a couple of days, otherwise, as time goes by, the premia of that Put will erode. Option writers are benefited, because every passing day, favors them.

You can use Bollinger bands to trade Options, because these bands tell you a lot about volatility. When the bands contract, less volatility, less premia, so buy Options, when the bands expand, higher volatility, higher premiums, so write Options.

Thanks SS
