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.

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

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

securities are further listed on a stock exchange.

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
-

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-
500 Index and 5 sectoral indices were launched in 1999.
In 2001, BSE launched BSE-PSU Index, DOLLEX-30 and the country's first free-float
based index - the BSE TEC Index. All BSE Indices are reviewed periodically by the BSE Index
Committee. This Committee which comprises eminent independent finance professionals frames
the broad policy guidelines for the development and maintenance of all BSE indices. The BSE
Index Cell carries out the day-to-day maintenance of all indices and conducts research on
development of new indices. SENSEX is significantly correlated with the stock indices of other
emerging markets.
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.

In 1996, the National Stock Exchange of India launched S&P CNX Nifty and CNX
Junior Indices that make up 100 most liquid stocks in India. CNX Nifty is a diversified index of
50 stocks from 25 different economy sectors. The Indices are owned and managed by India
Index Services and Products Ltd (IISL) that has a consulting and licensing agreement with
Standard & Poor's.
In 1998, the National Stock Exchange of India launched its web-site and was the first
exchange in India that started trading stock on the Internet in 2000. The NSE has also proved its
leadership in the Indian financial market by gaining many awards such as 'Best IT Usage Award'
by Computer Society in India and CHIP Web Award by CHIP magazine.
NSENIFTY:
The NSE on April 22, 1996 launches a new equity index. The NSE-50 new index, which
replaces the existing NSE-100 index, is expected, to serve as an appropriate index for the new
segment of futures and options. Nifty means national index for fifty stocks.
The NSE-50 comprises 50 companies that represent 20 broad industry groups with An
aggregate market capitalization of around Rs.1, 70,000 crs. All companies included in the index
have a market capitalization in excess of Rs 500 crs each and should have traded for 85% of
trading days at an impact cost of less than 1.5%.The base period for the index is the close of
prices on Nov3, 1995, which makes one year of completion of operationof NSEs capital market
segment. The base value of the index has been set at 1000.
NSE-MIDCAP INDEX:
The medium capitalized segment of the stock market is being increasingly perceived as
an attractive investment segment with high growth potential. the primary objective of the nse cnx
midcap index is to capture the movement and be a benchmark of the midcap segment of themarket.
The main features of the NSE CNX Midcap Index are:
NSE CNX Midcap Index represents about 77% of the total market capitalization of theMid-Cap Universe and about 75% of the total traded value of the Mid-Cap Universe

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

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

Loss
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.

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.

CONCLUSION
With the study we can interrupted that the investors are using derivatives for hedging
purpose. Hence we can conclude the option trading system is a best tool for reducing the risk.
Both SAIL and TATA Steel Scrip have performed well and continued in up trend . But in my
comparative study that SAIL can perform better than the TATA STEEL.
