Hello TAtrader,
Thanks for the list. Nifty Bankex options are now traded more frequently.One has
to construct a data base of past option history to apply Black Scholes formula. Luckily
these options were introduced within last two years so the look back period is quite
small. I want to start trading these and am looking for collaborators who can calcualte
implied volatility of past options. (SO that we know when the market is oversold or
overbought.

Expecting a reply

Can you kindly clarify if the existing Bank Nifty has been revised as given above or is it a new index ? I had been trading in Banknifty in NSE in the last week and hence the doubt.

Thanks
