Options trading kya hai, calls aur puts kya hain, options kaise kaam karte hain — complete Hindi guide beginners ke liye.
Options ek derivative instrument hai jo tumhe RIGHT deta hai (obligation nahi) ki tum ek specific date pe ek specific price pe ek asset kharid ya bech sako.
Simple definition: > Options = Insurance jaisa hai. Premium do, RIGHT mil jaaye. Agar market tumhare favour mein gaya toh profit, nahi toh sirf premium ka loss.
Call Option (CE):
• Right: Kharidne ka right
• Bullish view: Tumhe lagta hai price badhega
• Example: Nifty 20,000 CE kharida → Agar Nifty 20,500 gaya → Profit
Put Option (PE):
• Right: Bechne ka right
• Bearish view: Tumhe lagta hai price girega
• Example: Nifty 20,000 PE kharida → Agar Nifty 19,500 gaya → Profit

• Strike Price — Price at which option can be exercised
• Premium — Price of the option (what you pay)
• Expiry — Date when option expires
• Lot Size — Minimum quantity (Nifty = 25)
• ITM — In The Money — profitable to exercise
• ATM — At The Money — strike = current price
• OTM — Out of The Money — not profitable to exercise
