Hi,
Perhaps this is a total nincompoop question and I dont know the basics. I have been trading futures for a while and am new to options. Havent had the patience to go through any options FAQ or tutorials. However I need quick explanation about one thing -

As I see options brokerages are are fixed per lot instead of percentage. The straightforward way I see to make profits is buy Call on rising market and buy Put on falling market. Lets assume, I do that right. However, at about Rs 110 charge per lot per transaction, I cannot understand how can one make money on small value options yet I seem them being traded HEAVILY. Ill elaborate, Lets say I bought a Nifty Call or Put at value Rs 10 (so lot of 50 will be Rs 500) and I will pay additional Rs 110 for it. Then I sell it for 30% profit at Rs 13 (so selling lot value will be 650) and I will pay additional Rs 110 on this transaction. So even after a whopping 30% gain, my actual numbers are - Profit Rs 150, Brokerage charges Rs 220. Total Rs 70 loss.
Whereas If I was doing the same for high value options, Rs buying at Rs 100 and selling at Rs 130, I would have still paid same Rs 220 brokerage but my profit would have been Rs 1500.
I dont see, how this works, can anyone please explain this to me.

Also, if I hold the options for a few days, do I get some interest or something or do I pay interest, what is the interest field in options?

Thanks for your patience guys, I will read up the FAQs but I need the answer to this for motivation.

Trading spirit. Hard to digest, the top trading options are always less than Rs 100 (mostly in the ranges of 30-70), and there are even Rs 2-3 value options in the top 10. All of these with humongous turnover.
Just look at this link for today's (or last working day) values - http://www.nseindia.com/content/fo/fomktwtch_OPTIDXNIFTY.htm

And even if I am paying extra brokerage with my broker, the others provide similar plans, most of them charge Rs 50-100 per trade fixed price per lot.

What is the point on quoting my whole question again and again , I am still none the wiser.

Someone, please clarify (my original question that is).

Thanks in advance.
