Nothing can be done now , also even if you had a put a stop loss there is very less possibility of it getting executed post overnight moves . For e.g if you have boght an option at 100 with a SL of 80 and the option opened at 60 rs then what ?

Usually, it’ll try to fill the gap the same day. If Jane wanted to end the day on high, they’ll usually open without a gap or even gap down. See 26 Nov 2025 for example. Gift nifty had a huge gap up, but nifty opened without a gap, because they wanted the market to go up. Gaps are usually filled and sometimes are just plain reversals, unless there’s already a established strong underlying trend.

Unless market moves in your favour, you will be losing something anyways due to time decay…
Hedging can be a good way…limits the profits, also limits the losses…
There are many ways hedges can be placed…
Good to study before next trade dear…
Anyways it’s bought option, can’t lose more than the the bought amount.
Please study before taking next trades dear…
God bless

1 day/weekend overnight decay is negligible in practice. In most cases, all the decay happens near the end of previous day or after market open the next day.
