    INTRODUCTION

    DERIVATIVES

    Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic

    variables, called bases (underlying asset, index, or reference rate), in a contractual manner.

    The underlying asset can be equity, forex, commodity or any other asset.

    DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS

    Derivative contracts have several variants. The most common variants are forwards,

    futures, options and swaps. Here is a brief look at various derivatives contracts that have

    come to be used.

    Forwards: A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, where

    settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at today's pre-agreed price.

    Futures: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a

    certain time in the future at a certain price. Futures contracts are special types of forward

    contracts in the sense that the former are standardized exchange-traded contracts.

    Options: Options are of two types - calls and puts. Calls give the buyer the right but not

    the obligation to buy a given quantity of the underlying asset, at a given price on or before

    a given future date. Puts give the buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell a given

    quantity of the underlying asset at a given price on or before a given date.

    Warrants: Options generally have lives of up to one year, the majority of options traded

    on options exchanges having a maximum maturity of nine months. Longer-dated options

    are called warrants and are generally traded over-the-counter.

    LEAPS: The acronym LEAPS means Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities. These

    are options having a maturity of up to three years.

    Baskets: Basket options are options on portfolios of underlying assets. The underlying

    asset is usually a moving average of a basket of assets. Equity index options are a form of

    basket options.

    Swaps: Swaps are private agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows in the

    future according to a prearranged formula. They can be regarded as portfolios of forward

    contracts. The two commonly used swaps are.

    I nterest rate swaps:These entail swapping only the interest related cash flowsbetween the parties in the same currency.

    Cur rency swaps:These entail swapping both principal and interest betweenthe parties, with the cash flows in one direction being in a different currency than

    those in the opposite direction.

    Swaptions: Swaptions are options to buy or sell a swap that will become operative at the

    expiry of the options. Thus, a swaption is an option on a forward swap. Rather than have calls

    and puts, the swaptions market has receiver swaptions and payer swaptions. A receiver

    swaption is an option to receive fixed and pay floating. A payer swaption is an option to pay

    fixed and receive floating.

    OPTIONS

    An option is a contract that gives the buyer or seller the right, but not the obligation,

    to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a certain date. An option,

    just like a stock or bond, is a security. It is also a binding contract with strictly defined

    terms and properties.

    Calls and Puts

    The two types of options are calls and puts:

    A call gives the holder the right to buy an asset at a certain price within a specific

    period of time. Calls are similar to having a long position on a stock. Buyers of calls hope

    that the stock will increase substantially before the option expires.

    Aput gives the holder the right to sell an asset at a certain price within a specific

    period of time. Puts are very similar to having a short position on a stock. Buyers of puts

    hope that the price of the stock will fall before the option expires.

    OPTION TERMINOLOGY

    Index options: These options have the index as the underlying. Some options areEuropean while others are American. Like index futures contracts, index options contracts

    are also cash settled.

    Stock options: Stock options are options on individual stocks. Options currentlytrade on over 500 stocks in the United States. A contract gives the holder the right to buy

    or sell shares at the specified price.

    Buyer of an option: The buyer of an option is the one who by paying the optionpremium buys the right but not the obligation to exercise his option on the seller/writer.

    Writer of an option:The writer of a call/put option is the one who receives the optionpremium and is thereby obliged to sell/buy the asset if the buyer exercises on him.

    There are two basic types of options, call options and put options.

    Call option: A call option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy anasset by a certain date for a certain price.

    Put option:A put option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to sell anasset by a certain date for a certain price.

    Option price/premium:Option price is the price, which the option buyer pays to theoption seller. It is also referred to as the option premium.

    Expiration date:The date specified in the options contract is known as the expirationdate, the exercise date, the strike date or the maturity.

    Strike price:The price specified in the options contract is known as the strike priceor the exercise price. American options:American options are options that can be exercised at any time upto the expiration date. Most exchange-traded options are American.

    European options: European options are options that can be exercised only on theexpiration date itself. European options are easier to analyze than American options, and

    properties of an American option are frequently deduced from those of its European

    counterpart.

    In-the-money option:An in-the-money (ITM) option is an option that would lead toa positive cash flow to the holder if it were exercised immediately. A call option on the

    index is said to be in-the-money when the current index stands at a level higher than the

    strike price (i.e. spot price > strike price). If the index is much higher than the strike price,

    the call is said to be deep ITM. In the case of a put, the put is ITM if the index is below the

    strike price.

    At-the-money option:An at-the-money (ATM) option is an option that would lead tozero cash flow if it were exercised immediately. An option on the index is at-the-money

    when the current index equals the strike price (i.e. spot price = strike price).

    Out-of-the-money option:An out-of-the-money (OTM) option is an option thatwould lead to a negative cash flow if it were exercised immediately. A call option on the

    index is out-of-the-money when the current index stands at a level which is less than the

    strike price (i.e. spot price < strike price). If the index is much lower than the strike price,

    the call is said to be deep OTM. In the case of a put, the put is OTM if the index is above

    the strike price.

    The Relationship between the options strike price and market price:

    call is the greater of 0 or(StK). Similarly, the intrinsic value of a put is Max[0, K

    St],i.e. the greater of 0 or(KSt). K is the strike price and Stis the spot price.

    Time value of an option:The time value of an option is the difference between itspremium and its intrinsic value. Both calls and puts have time value. An option that is

    OTM or ATM has only time value. Usually, the maximum time value exists when the

    option is ATM. The longer the time to expiration, the greater is an option's time value, all

    else equal. At expiration, an option should have no time value.

    HOW THE OPTIONS MARKET WORK

    Options are contracts on some underlying trading instrument - shares of stock,

    bonds, a commodity, a mortgage loan, etc. But regardless of what the option is on, there

    are common features. One of the most basic is the contract feature specifying what the

    option owner has actually contracted for.

    CALL

    A 'call' confers on the (option) contract holder the right to buy an asset at a stated

    price on or before a specified expiration date. A right to buy not an obligation. The call

    owner always has the option to let his option expire. (Of course, he then loses the initial

    money invested in buying the contract.)

    Call buyers are betting the underlying asset - the stock, bond, commodity, etc - will

    increase in price before the expiration date. And, not only rise, but rise enough to make a

    profit.

    PUT

    A 'put', by contrast, gives the option buyer the right to sell an asset at a certain

    price by a stated date. The right, not the obligation.

    Puts are similar to 'shorting stock', in this sense. Put buyers are betting the stock price will

    fall before the option expires.

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    6/56

    In this case the market price must fall below the strike price in order to garner a

    profit from exercising the option. (Ignoring the cost of the put, for simplicity.) Under those

    circumstances, the option holder is 'in the money'.

    Economic Importance of the Options Market

    There are two main reasons why an investor would use options: to speculate and to hedge.

    Speculation

    You can think ofspeculation as betting on the movement of a security. The advantage

    of options is that you aren't limited to making a profit only when the market goes up.

    Because of the versatility of options, you can also make money when the market goes

    down or even sideways

    Speculation is the territory in which the big money is made - and lost. The use of

    options in this manner is the reason options have the reputation of being risky. This is

    because when you buy an option, you have to be correct in determining not only the

    direction of the stock's movement, but also the magnitude and the timing of this movement.

    To succeed, you must correctly predict whether a stock will go up or down, and you have

    to be right about how much the price will change as well as the time frame it will take for

    all this to happen. And don't forget commissions! The combinations of these factors means

    the odds are stacked against you.

    Hedging

    The other function of options is hedging. Think of this as an insurance policy. Just

    as you insure your house or car, options can be used to insure your investments against a

    downturn. Critics of options say that if you are so unsure of your stock pick that you need a

    hedge, you shouldn't make the investment. On the other hand, there is no doubt that hedging

    strategies can be useful, especially for large institutions. Even the individual investor can

    benefit. Imagine that you wanted to take advantage of technology stocks and their upside, but

    7/56

    say you also wanted to limit any losses. By using options, you would be able to restrict your

    downside while enjoying the full upside in a cost-effective way.

    Settlement of options contracts

    Options contracts have three types of settlements, daily premium settlement,

    exercise settlement, interim exercise settlement in the case of option contracts

    on securities and final settlement.

    Daily premium settlement

    Buyer of an option is obligated to pay the premium towards the options purchased by

    him. Similarly, the seller of an option is entitled to receive the premium for the option sold

    by him. The premium payable amount and the premium receivable amount are netted to

    compute the net premium payable or receivable amount for each client for each option

    contract.

    Exercise settlement

    Although most option buyers and sellers close out their options positions by an

    offsetting closing transaction, an understanding of exercise can help an option buyer

    determine whether exercise might be more advantageous than an offsetting sale of the

    option. There is always a possibility of the option seller being assigned an exercise. Once

    an exercise of an option has been assigned to an option seller, the option seller is bound to

    fulfill his obligation (meaning, pay the cash settlement amount in the case of a cash-settled

    option) even though he may not yet have been notified of the assignment.

    Interim exercise settlement

    Interim exercise settlement takes place only for option contracts on securities. An

    investor can exercise his in-the-money options at any time during trading hours, through

    his trading member. Interim exercise settlement is effected for such options at the close of

    the trading hours, on the day of exercise. Valid exercised option contracts are assigned to

    short positions in the option contract with the same series (i.e. having the same underlying,

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    8/56

    same expiry date and same strike price), on a random basis, at the client level. The CM

    who has exercised the option receives the exercise settlement value per unit of the option

    from the CM who has been assigned the option contract.

    Final exercise settlement

    Final exercise settlement is effected for all open long in-the-money strike price options

    existing at the close of trading hours, on the expiration day of an option contract. All such

    long positions are exercised and automatically assigned to short positions in option

    contracts with the same series, on a random basis. The investor who has long in-the-money

    options on the expiry date will receive the exercise settlement value per unit of the option

    from the investor who has been assigned the option contract.

    Exercise process

    The period during which an option is exercisable depends on the style of the option. On

    NSE, index options are European style, i.e. options are only subject to automatic exercise

    on the expiration day, if they are in-the-money. As compared to this, options on securities

    are American style. In such cases, the exercise is automatic on the expiration day, and

    voluntary prior to the expiration day of the option contract, provided they are in-the-

    money.

    PARTICIPANTS IN THE OPTIONS MARKET

    There are four types of participants in the options markets depending on the position they take:

    1. Buyers of calls2. Sellers of calls3. Buyers of puts4. Sellers of putsPeople who buy options are called holders and those who sell options are called writers;

    furthermore, buyers are said to have long positions,and sellers are said to have short positions.

    Here is the important distinction between buyers and sellers:

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    9/56

    Call holders and put holders(buyers) are not obligated to buy are sell; they have thechoice to exercise their rights if they choose.

    Call writers and put writers(sellers) however are obligated to buy or sell. This means thata seller may be required to make good on their Promise to buy or sell.

    FOUR ENTITIES IN THE TRADING SYSTEM:

    1.Trading members: Trading members are members of NSE. They can trade either on

    their own account or on behalf of their clients including participants. The exchange assigns a

    trading member ID to each trading member. Each trading member can have more than one user.

    The number of users allowed for each trading member is notified by the exchange from time to

    time. Each user of a trading member must be registered with the exchange and is assigned a

    unique user ID. The unique trading member ID functions as reference for all orders /trades of

    different users. This ID is common for all users of a particular trading member. It is the

    responsibility of the trading member to maintain adequate control over persons having access to

    the firms user IDs.

    2.Clearing members: clearing members are members of NSCCL they carryout risk management

    activities and conformation/enquiry of trades through the trading system.

    3. Professional clearing members: A professional clearing members is a clearing member who

    is not a trading member. Typically, banks and custodians become professional clearing members

    and clear and settle for their trading members.

    4. Participants: A participant is a client of trading members like financial institutions. These

    clients may trade through multiple trading members but settle through a single clearing member.

    INDUSTRY PROFILE

    CAPITAL MARKET:

    A capital market is a market for securities (debt or equity), where business enterprises

    (companies) and governments can raise long-term funds. It is defined as a market in which

    money is provided for periods longer than a year, as the raising of short-term funds takes place

    on other markets (e.g., the money market).

    The capital market includes the stock market (equity securities) and the bond

    market (debt). Financial regulators, such as the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) or

    the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), oversee the capital markets in their

    designated jurisdictions to ensure that investors are protected against fraud, among other duties.

    Capital markets may be classified as primary markets and secondary markets. In primary

    markets, new stock or bond issues are sold to investors via a mechanism known as underwriting.

    In the secondary markets, existing securities are sold and bought among investors or traders,

    usually on a securities exchange, over-the-counter, or elsewhere. In brief the primary and

    secondary market is detailed below:

    Primary market Secondary market.

    CAPITAL MARKET

    PRIMARY MARKET SECONDARY MARKET

    1. PRIMARY MARKET:

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    11/56

    The primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of

    new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through

    the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities

    dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a

    new stock issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO).

    Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it

    can be found in the prospectus. A primary market creates long term instruments through which

    corporate entities borrow from capital market.

    When an unlisted company makes either a fresh issue of securities or offers its existing

    securities for sale or both for the first time to the Entity making an issue is referred as IPO

    (Initial Public Offer). When an already listed company makes either a fresh issue of securities to

    the public or an offer for sale to the public, it is called a FPO (Follow on Public Offer).

    Features of primary markets:

    This is the market for new long term equity capital. The primary market is the marketwhere the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called the new issue

    market (NIM).

    In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to investors. The company receives the money and issues new security certificates to the investors. Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business or for

    expanding or modernizing the existing business.

    The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formation in theeconomy.

    The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long term externalfinance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the new issue market maybe raising capital for converting private capital into public capital; this is known as

    "going public."

    The financial assets sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.Methods of issuing securities in the primary market:

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    12/56

    Initial public offering Rights issue (for existing companies) Preferential issue.

    An Initial Public Offering (IPO), referred to simply as an "offering" or "flotation", is

    when a company (called the issuer) issues common stock or shares to the public for the first time.

    They are often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking capital to expand, but can also be

    done by large privately owned companies looking to become publicly traded.

    A Rights Issue is an option that a company opts for to raise capital under a seasoned

    equity offering of shares to raise money. The rights issue is a special form of shelf offering or

    shelf registration. With the issued rights, existing shareholders have the privilege to buy a

    specified number of new shares from the firm at a specified price within a specified time. A

    rights issue is in contrast to an initial public offering; where shares are issued to the general

    public through market exchanges. Companies usually opt for a rights issue either when having

    problems raising capital through traditional means or to avoid interest charges on loans.

    A Preferential issue is an issue of stocks or of convertible securities through listed firms

    to a select number of persons under Section 81 of the Companies Act, 1956 that is neither apublic issue nor a rights issue. This is a speedier path for a firm to increase equity funds. The

    issuer firm has to comply with the Firms Act and the needs contained in the Chapter related to

    preferential allotment in Securities and Exchange Board of India guidelines which inter-alia

    include costs, disclosures in notice and so on.

    2. SECONDARY MARKET

    Secondary Market is the market where, unlike the primary market, an investor can

    buy a security directly from another investor in lieu of the issuer. It is also referred as "after

    market". The securities initially are issued in the primary market, and then they enter into the

    secondary market.

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    13/56

    In other words, Secondary marketis a place where any type of used goods is available. In

    the secondary market shares are maneuvered from one investor to other, that is, one investor

    buys an asset from another investor instead of an issuing corporation. So, the secondary market

    should be liquid.

    The primary market deals with the new issues of securities. Outstanding securities are

    traded in the secondary market, which is commonly known as stock market or stock exchange.

    The secondary market is a market where scrips are traded. It is a market place which provides

    liquidity to the scrips issued in the primary market.

    Thus, the growth of secondary market depends on the primary market. More the number

    of companies entering the primary market, the greater are the volume of trade at the secondary

    market. Trading activities in the secondary market are done through the recognized stockexchanges which are 23 in number including Over the Counter Exchange of India (OTCE),

    National Stock Exchange of India and Interconnected Stock Exchange of India.

    Secondary market operations involve buying and selling of securities on the stock

    exchange through its members. The companies hitting the primary market are mandatory to list

    their shares on one or more stock exchanges in India. Listing of scrips provides liquidity and

    offers an opportunity to the investors to buy or sell the scrips.

    IMPORTANCE OF SECONDARY MARKET:

    Secondary Market has an important role to play behind the developments of an efficient

    capital market. Secondary market connects investors' favoritism for liquidity with the capital

    users' wish of using their capital for a longer period. For example, in a traditional partnership, a

    partner cannot access the other partner's investment but only his or her investment in that

    partnership, even on an emergency basis. Then if he or she may breaks the ownership of equity

    into parts and sell his or her respective proportion to another investor. This kind of trading is

    facilitated only by the secondary market.

    DEFINITION OF A STOCK EXCHANGE:

    A stock exchange is an entity which provides trading facilities for stock brokers and

    traders, to trade stocks and other securities. (OR) Share market/stock markets are an open

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    14/56

    market for fiscal operations such as trading of a firm's share and derivatives at a fixed cost. These

    securities are further listed on a stock exchange.

    SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA ACT, 1992

    SEBI Act, 1992 provides for establishment of securities and exchange board of India

    (SEBI) with statutory powers for protecting the interests of investors in securities promoting the

    BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE

    The Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its history to the

    1850s, when 4 Gujarati and 1 Paris stockbroker would gather under banyan trees in front of

    Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times, as the number of

    brokers constantly increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875

    became an official organization known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'. In

    1956, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government under

    the Securities Contracts Regulation Act.

    The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the BSE SENSEX in 1986, giving the BSE a means to

    measure overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index to open its

    derivatives market, trading SENSEX futures contracts. Historically an open outcry floor trading

    exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an electronic trading system in 1995. It took

    the exchange only fifty days to make this transition. This automated, screen-based trading

    platform called BSE On-line trading (BOLT) currently has a capacity of 8 million orders per day.

    The BSE has also introduced the world's first centralized exchange-based internet trading

  • 7/22/2019 Option Tradingfdhh

    16/56

    system, BSEWEBx.co.in to enable investors anywhere in the world to trade on the BSE

    platform.

    BSE INDICES:

    The launch of SENSEX in 1986 was later followed up in January 1989 by introduction of

    BSE National Index It comprised 100 stocks listed at five major stock exchanges in India -

    Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, Ahmadabad and Madras. The BSE National Index was renamed BSE-

    100 Index from October 14, 1996 and since then, it is being calculated taking into consideration

    only the prices of stocks listed at BSE.

    BSE launched the dollar-linked version of BSE-100 index on May 22, 2006. BSE

    launched two new index series on 27 May 1994: The 'BSE-200' and the 'DOLLEX-200'. BSE-

    NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE:

    Capital market reforms in India and the launch of the Securities and Exchange Board of

    India (SEBI) accelerated the incorporation of the second Indian stock exchange called the

    National Stock Exchange (NSE) in 1992. After a few years of operations, the NSE has become

    the largest stock exchange in India. Three segments of the NSE trading platform were

    established one after another. The Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) commenced operations in

    June 1994 and the Capital Market (CM) segment was opened at the end of 1994. Finally, the

    Futures and Options segment began operating in 2000. Today the NSE takes the 14th position in

    the top 40 futures exchanges in the world.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    The authors Black, Fisher, and Scholes ,Myron, themselves admitted some biases of the

    model in their research paper, The Valuation of Option Contracts and a Test of Market

    Efficiency, expressed as Using the past data to estimate the variance caused the model to

    overprice options on high variance stocks and under price options on low variance stocks. While

    the model tends to overestimate the value of an option on a high variance security, market tends

    to underestimate the value, and similarly while the model tends to underestimate the value of an

    option on a low variance security, market tends to overestimate the value.

    During 1979, Macbeth, James D., and Merville, Larry J. in their research paper, An

    Empirical Examination of the Black - Scholes Call Option pricing Model revealed that B-S

    model predicted prices are on average less (greater) than market prices for in the money options

    (out of the Money) and also had biases over the life of the options also.

    Investors are given the choice to buy or sell the security at a specific price by a specific time, but they are

    not required to do so.

    (Essential Concepts, Thir d Edi tion by The Options Institute).

    Options trading has the reputation of being a speculative and very risky form of securities trading.

    (Options for the Stock I nvestor , by James Bi ttman. )

    Option trading is a risky but often very profitable business.Option Trading is simply the trade in option

    contracts over an exchange.

    LIMITATIONS

    For my study the data was taken only short period ( two months ). Options are very complex and require a great deal of observation andmaintenance. In my study profitable and risk may vary i.e.; today's In-the-money and

    tomorrow Out-the-money.

    As the market is highly volatile the interpretations drawn may vary with time

    If the spot price is more than the strike price (Rs. 95.00) then the investor minimizes his losses.

    When the spot price reaches to 98.71 (95+3.71) he makes no profit no loss. When the price further

    increases, he makes profit accordingly. Hence, the profits of buyer of call option are unlimited and losses

    are limited to the premium paid.

    If the share price turns out to be Rs.98.71 or more, the write of call option gets a loss that

    increases with the relative increase in the market price. At a share price of Rs.98.71, the profit exactly

    offsets the premium received. Hence, Rs.98.71 is the breakeven point at which writer of call option

    makes no profit no loss. Even the market price goes beyond the level of Rs.98.71 the profit of the writer

    of call option is limited to the premium that he received. Hence, the losses of the writer of call option

    are unlimited and profits are limited to the premium he paid.

    If the spot price is more than the strike price (Rs. 400.00) then the investor minimizes his losses.

    When the spot price reaches to 419.93 (400+19.93) he makes no profit no loss. When the price further

    increases, he makes profit accordingly. Hence, the profits of buyer of call option are unlimited and losses

    are limited to the premium paid.

    If the share price turns out to be Rs.419.93 or more, the write of call option gets a loss that

    increases with the relative increase in the market price. At a share price of Rs.419.93, the profit exactly

    offsets the premium received. Hence, Rs.419.93 is the breakeven point at which writer of call option

    makes no profit no loss. Even the market price goes beyond the level of Rs.419.93 the profit of the

    writer of call option is limited to the premium that he received. Hence, the losses of the writer of call

    option are unlimited and profits are limited to the premium he paid.

    SUGGESTIONS

    In bullish market, the investor is suggested to opt for call options in order to maximize theprofits.

    In bearish market, the investor is suggested to opt for put options in order to minimize hislosses.

    In order to create the derivatives in India, the SEBI should revise some of their regulations likecontract size, participation of FII in the derivatives market. Contract size should be minimized,

    because small investor cannot afford huge premiums.

    The derivatives market is newly started in India, and it is not known by everyone. So SEBI shouldtake necessary actions to create awareness among investors.
