Options Kya Hai?

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
