so we can sell a call option at the time of expiry by excersing and it will be traded at the closing price of the(exipiry) day.!

and we can square off an option at cmp at any day before expiry,(current market price)!

You are welcome

I you are talking about European Option, you are absolutly correct. Just a little addition: you can even square off your position at the expiry day at cmp.
On expiry day either you can square off (at cmp)or excercise (closing price).

Hi gopii,

As ellisprem said because u r new in options try trading on index options only, and to choose from them go for options of 3400,3450,3500,3550 etc...... and not like 3420,3570 etc.......... I think u got my point. The prior one's r much more liquid then others.

thanks

Hi Narayan78,
First of all I assume that you only buy option.
If you really want to make money Sell option. Looking at the records 75% of the option expire wothless. I am trading option for about 2 year but then I dont buy option (unless it's for the square off position). Initally I started with buying option but it was not much profitability as movement of underliying should be fast enough so that you don't loos on time value.
Ofcourse selling option has limited profit and unlimited potintial loss. So never sell a option alone use some strategies along with it.

regards
Amit

Hi Gopii,
Nifty Index Option has a very good volume and good open inetrest. At any given point of time Nifty option and future has very good volume. To trade nifty only go for contract in addtion of 50 point like 3500, 3550, 3600 so on...
I look for high Implied volatility, volume,OI and good premium in option. For this Index Nifty Option is best choise.
In India all Index option are european.
regards
Amit
