I have bought Call call of nifty 26550 in two orders with avg price of .74 rs with toal quntity 3100.
Today is the expiry day .
If i do not do anything what would be my max loss.
cureently its showing somewherer around 2100.
But when i was trying to do exit all it was showing in price as needed some 45 lakh.
is it correct or some fault in broker app.
Please help urgently i am very new to trading and options :frowning:

Watch out tomorrow on expiry. Gift nifty has two freak trades touching a low of 24800 and bouncing back to the same position.

Sell PE vs Buy CE β€” Which is better when I want the stock at a lower price?

Sell PE vs Buy CE β€” Which is better when I want the stock at a lower price?

If I want to sell a PE (Put Option) or buy a CE (Call Option ) on a stock. I have a few questions about margin:

  1. How much margin is required to sell/write a PE before expiry?
  2. Does the margin requirement change as expiry approaches?
  3. If the stock moves against me (falls), does the margin increase automatically?
  4. What happens if I don’t have enough margin β€” will the broker auto-square off my position?
