Below strike
Option expires worthless. You lose the full premium — nothing more.
At breakeven
Strike + Premium = no profit, no loss. The move just covers your cost.
Above breakeven
Every point higher = ₹75 profit per lot (Nifty lot size = 75 units).
How to execute on NSE
1
Open your broker's options chain for Nifty 50 and select the desired expiry (weekly or monthly).
2
Pick a Call option at your target strike . ATM calls balance cost and delta sensitivity.
3
BUY the call. Your total debit = Premium x 75 (lot size). This is your maximum risk.
4
Monitor closely. Exit before expiry to avoid theta decay, or hold for full cash settlement.
Key risks to know
Time decay (Theta): Every passing day erodes the option's value even if Nifty stays flat.
Volatility crush: A drop in implied volatility post-event (budget, RBI policy) can hurt the position even on an up move.
Move required: Nifty must close above the breakeven at expiry touching the strike alone is not enough.
