Understanding Derivatives Share Market is a Platform To Make Profit by Trading in Shares or Securities. Of course, sometimes, profit may be negative. THE SMALL In this article, the phrase The Small stands for people with small fund or small holding capacity. THE BIG In this article, the phrase The Big stands for people with large or unlimited fund or large holding capacity. Besides Moneyed Individuals, FIIs, Big Institutions like LIC, UTI, MUTUAL FUNDS etc. can be regarded as THE BIG. In order to trade, it is necessary to do a transaction. A transaction is a pair of Buy & Sale. In order to make transactions in Share Market, we have two segments. One is CASH SEGMENT & the other is DERIVATIVE SEGMENT. SEGMENTS

CASH SEGMENT

DERIVATIVE SEGMENT

CASH SEGMENT . This is the most preferred segment. This is safe one. Those who have enough fund, should go for this segment. This segment is good for both THE SMALL & THE BIG.

In this segment you can buy shares within your capacity by making 100 % payment and taking delivery. You have to wait till you get your favorable rates and then sell the shares. You can buy back the same shares when the rates are reasonably low. Your ownership of position remains with you unless and until you have squared off. Such people are known as Investors. They don’t undergo frequent or day-to-day trading. It is observed that investors earn a good percentage of profit and that also without any tension. POINTS TO REMEMBER 1. 1. In Cash Segment do not buy all of your required quantity at a time. Buy in certain units. If you desire to buy 500 shares, buy 100 at a time so that you can have fund to buy if the shares are available at lower rates. 2. 2. Similarly while selling do not sell all the shares at a time. If you want to sell 500 shares, sell in the unit of 100 shares so that you may get higher rates for the remaining lots. 3. 3. Do not square off at a very low profit. Try to earn substantial profit. This strategy will help you when you are about to make a substantial loss. 4. 4. Do not do the next transaction in the same item at a very narrow interval of profit. Try to get at least 5 % gain. 5. 5. Try to accumulate a reasonable quantity of a volatile share like RELIANCE at various downward rates. You can do profit churning in Reliance with a quantity of say unit of 50 shares in an open ended way. DERIVATIVE SEGMENT This is the segment where one can do higher volume with less fund compared to Cash Segment. There are two parts in this segment. (1) Future Trading & (2) Option Trading

CASH SEGMENT

DERIVATIVES

1. 100 % payment is to be made for buying and similarly 100 % payment is received while selling

1. Prefixed Margin say 20-40 % is to be paid as Deposit (known as margin) to meet with any risk or liability due to the trade done.

2. Ownership – Ownership remains with you unless and until you have squared off the position.

2. Ownership of the position remains with you until you have squared off or till the last Thursday of the Contract Month.

3. Quantity – Any quantity of shares can be bought or sold. There is no compulsion

3. One cannot buy any odd quantity but has to buy or sell the Lot in prefixed size.

4. Delivery is to be given or taken.

4. There is nothing like delivery.

DERIVATIVES

FUTURE TRADING

OPTION TRADING

FUTURE TRADING Future Trading is jut like Cash Segment Trading. In Future Trading you are not to pay 100 % payment as you have to do in Cash Segment and there is nothing like delivery. MARGINS In order to trade in Future, you are required to pay two types of margins. (1) Initial Margin (2) Daily Margin. Initial Margin is to be paid initially while taking the position. Suppose you buy One Contract of Reliance Future. At that time say the rate is Rs. 400/-. The lot of Reliance is of 600. So the total value of the lot will be Rs. 2,40,000/-. Suppose the Initial Margin fixed for Reliance is say 25 %. So you will have to pay Rs. 60,000/- initially as Initial Margin. The next day the rate becomes Rs. 398/-. So book loss of Rs. 1200/- appears to be there. So you will have to pay this difference to your broker and this amount you pay is known as Daily Margin. Again on the next of the next day, the rate becomes Rs. 395 which means further book loss of Rs. 3 amounting to Rs. 1,800/-. You will have to pay this as Daily Margin. Remember the margin is one kind of Deposit in order to safeguard against any default. Similarly on the third day say the rate becomes Rs. 403 and so your F&O account will be credited with Rs. 4,800/- as there is a book profit of Rs. 8/- per share. In order to avoid daily Give & Take, the client is advised to keep something more than the margin amount that might be required. In case of continuous loss situation when you are not in position to pay

margin, your transaction is squared off and the respective loss is debited to your account. In Case of Profit situation you can decide when to square off the transaction.

Future Trading is the most Dangerous One. The people with low funding capacity should not even think of Future Trading. OPTION TRADING In option Trading you can take either of the positions viz. BUYER’S POSITION OR SELLER’S POSITION (ALSO KNOWN AS WRITER) GENERAL EXAMPLE IN A LAYMAN’S LANUGAGE Let us consider an example. Say Rameshbhai & Sureshbhai are two friends, both dealing in shares. Now Rameshbhai feels that Reliance will be trading at Rs. 500 at the close of the month. At present it is available at Rs. 400 but Rameshbhai does not have fund to buy the lot of 600 shares of Reliance. His friend Sureshbhai is a rich capable person and so Rameshbhai explains Sureshbhai his feelings about Reliance. Rameshbhai says to Sureshbhai that he(Rameshbhai) may buy Reliance from him(Sureshbhai) at the rate of Rs. 410/- later during the month before the expiry date provided that Sureshbhai agrees to make the arrangement. Rameshbhai also gives temptation that he will give him non-refundable commission of Rs. 7 per share immediately in advance. Sureshbhai agrees to take the responsibility of providing Rameshbhai 600 shares of Reliance if he demands the shares and accepts the commission of Rs. 7/- per share from Rameshbhai. Thus Rameshbhai succeeded in getting the right of buying 600 Shares of Reliance at Rs. 410 and for getting the right he had to pay the not-refundable commission of Rs. 7 per share in advance. In this example, in derivative language, Rameshbhai is the option buyer and Sureshbhai is option-seller or option-writer. The word commission is known as premium. The pre-decided price of Rs. 410 is known as Strike Price. The right to buy is known as Call. Hence we can say that Rameshbhai bought a Reliance Call with the strike price of Rs. 410 at a premium of Rs. 7/-. Now the Reliance will cost Rs. 410+7=417 to Rameshbhai. When the rates of Reliance is more than Rs. 417, it will be a time for Rameshbhai to exercise his right at a proper time he likes. BUYER

Buyer of the option has a chance of limited loss in an unfavorable situation and unlimited profit in the favorable situation. Generally those with small fund should be buyer of the option so that he occurs a pre-decided or pre-imagined loss or limited loss in an odd situation but can have unlimited profit in a favorable situation. SELLER (WRITER) Seller of the option has a chance of limited profit in a favorable situation and unlimited loss in an unfavorable situation. Generally those, with large stock with them purchased at a very low rate and with good funding arrangement, become Seller of the option. If one does not have fund arrangement, one should not be seller or writer.

OPTION BUYER 1. He has right of buying or selling. 2. He has no obligation. 3. He has to pay premium. 4. Chance of Limited Loss. 5. Chance of Unlimited Profit.

OPTION SELLER/WRITER 1. He has no right. 2. He has obligation (responsibility) to provide the buyer with the position. 3. He receives premium. 4. Chance of Unlimited Loss. 5. Chance of Limited Profit.

OPTION

CALL

PUT

CALL Call means a right to buy. If you expect TEJI, you should buy a Call. PUT Put means a right to sell. If you expect MANDI, you should buy a Put. PREMIUM Premium is the amount payable by an Option-Buyer. The rates of premium are different for different strike price. STRIKE PRICE Strike Price is the price at which the option-buyer desires to buy the shares. TOP 9 TRADING STRATEGIES IN DERIVATIVES 1. BUY CALL When market is down, buy just out of money Call. 2. BUY PUT When market is Up and correction is due, buy Put. 3. BUY FUTURE AND SELL CALL When you are bullish but at the same time you want to cover any downward. 4. BULL SPREAD When market is in narrow range, buy “IN THE MONEY” CALL and sell “OUT OF MONEY” CALL. 5. CALENDER SPREAD When you want to take TEJI POSITION for the next month, Sell Current Month CALL and Buy Next month Call. 6. STRANGLE When you are not sure in which direction the market will go, Buy CALL & PUT of the same strike price.

7. STRADDLE When results are expected and you do not know in which direction the stock will move, Buy “OUT OF MONEY” Call and “OUT OF MONEY” Put. 8. STOCK INSURANCE Buy Future and Buy PUT to cover down side. 9. SELL CALL & PUT In the last days of the Contract Period, Sell naked “OUT OF MONEY” Call & Put.
