Hi,

I am planning to write/sell options, Banknifty options. How to do using PI.

Do you have any suggestions. Weekly or intraday, which is better?

hElLO tRaDeR,

“Writing Options” is a theoretical term.

To write an option what you do is sell a call or put contract like you would sell any other stock.

Congrats, You have now become an Options writer.

Writing Options for very short period like a day or a week , is not a good idea for a beginner.

Try with 2 months contract and see how it works first.
