1.0 Introduction to der ivatives
The emergence of the market for derivative products, most notably forwards, futures and options,
can be traced back to the willingness of risk-averse economic agents to guard themselves against
uncertainties arising out of fluctuations zin asset prices. By their very nature, the financial
markets are marked by a very high degree of volatility
The following factors have been driving the growth of financial derivatives:
Increased volatility in asset prices in financial markets,
Increased integration of national financial markets with the international markets,
Marked improvement in communication facilities and sharp decline in their costs,
Development of more sophisticated risk management tools, providing economicagents a wider choice of risk management strategies, and
Innovations in the derivatives markets, which optimally combine the risks andreturns over a large number of financial assets, leading to higher returns, reduced
risk as well as trans-actions costs as compared to individual financial assets.

1.2 Types of derivatives
The most commonly used derivatives contracts are forwards, futures and options which we shall
discuss in detail later. Here we take a brief look at various derivatives contracts that have come
to be used.
Forwards: A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, wheresettlement takes place on a specific date in the future at todayspre-agreed price.
Futures: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset ata 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 notthe 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.
Swaps: Swaps are private agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows in thefuture according to a prearranged formula. They can be regarded as portfolios of forward
contracts.

Myths about der ivatives
In less than three decades of their coming into vogue, derivatives markets have become the most
important markets in the world. Financial derivatives came into the spotlight along with the rise
in uncertainty of post-1970, when US announced an end to the Bretton Woods System of fixed
exchange rates leading to introduction of currency derivatives followed by other innovations
including stock index futures. Today, derivatives have become part and parcel of the day-to-day
life for ordinary people in major parts of the world. While this is true for many countries, there
are still apprehensions about the introduction of derivatives. There are many myths about
derivatives but the realities that are different especially for Exchange traded derivatives, which
are well regulated with all the safety mechanisms in place.
What are these myths behind derivatives?
Derivatives increase speculation and do not serve any economic purpose Indian Market is not ready for derivative trading Disasters prove that derivatives are very risky and highly leveraged
instruments
Derivatives are complex and exotic instruments that Indian investors willfind difficulty in understanding
existing capital market safer than Derivatives?

Futures and options
Futures and options represent two of the most common form of "Derivatives". Derivatives are
financial instruments that derive their value from an 'underlying'. The underlying can be a stock
issued by a company, a currency, Gold etc., The derivative instrument can be traded
independently of the underlying asset.
The value of the derivative instrument changes according to the changes in the value of the
underlying.
Derivatives are of two types -- exchange traded and over the counter.
Exchange traded derivatives, as the name signifies are traded through organizedexchanges around the world. These instruments can be bought and sold through theseexchanges, just like the stock market. Some of the common exchange traded derivative
instruments are futures and options.
Over the counter (popularly known as OTC) derivatives are not traded through theexchanges. They are not standardized and have varied features. Some of the popular OTC
instruments are forwards, swaps, swaptions etc.

Futures
A 'Future' is a contract to buy or sell the underlying asset for a specific price at a pre-determined
time. If you buy a futures contract, it means that you promise to pay the price of the asset at a
specified time. If you sell a future, you effectively make a promise to transfer the asset to the
buyer of the future at a specified price at a particular time. Every futures contract has the
following features:
Buyer Seller Price Expiry
Some of the most popular assets on which futures contracts are available are equity stocks,indices, commodities and currency.
The difference between the price of the underlying asset in the spot market and the futuresmarket is called 'Basis'. (As 'spot market' is a market for immediate delivery) The basis is usuallynegative, which means that the price of the asset in the futures market is more than the price inthe spot market. This is because of the interest cost, storage cost, insurance premium etc., That is,if you buy the asset in the spot market, you will be incurring all these expenses, which are notneeded if you buy a futures contract. This condition of basis being negative is called as'Contango'.
Sometimes it is more profitable to hold the asset in physical form than in the form of futures. Fore.g.: if you hold equity shares in your account you will receive dividends, whereas if you holdequity futures you will not be eligible for any dividend.

When these benefits overshadow the expenses associated with the holding of the asset, the basisbecomes positive (i.e., the price of the asset in the spot market is more than in the futuresmarket). This condition is called 'Backwardation'. Backwardation generally happens if the price
of the asset is expected to fall.
It is common that, as the futures contract approaches maturity, the futures price and the spotprice tend to close in the gap between them i.e., the basis slowly becomes zero.

Options
Options contracts are instruments that give the holder of the instrument the right to buy or sellthe underlying asset at a predetermined price. An option can be a 'call' option or a 'put' option.
A call option gives the buyer, the right to buy the asset at a given price. This 'given price' iscalled 'strike price'. It should be noted that while the holder of the call option has a right todemand sale of asset from the seller, the seller has only the obligation and not the right. For eg: if
the buyer wants to buy the asset, the seller has to sell it. He does not have a
similarly a 'put' option gives the buyer a right to sell the asset at the 'strike price' to the buyer.Here the buyer has the right to sell and the seller has the obligation to buy.
So in any options contract, the right to exercise the option is vested with the buyer of thecontract. The seller of the contract has only the obligation and no right. As the seller of thecontract bears the obligation, he is paid a price called as 'premium'. Therefore the price that ispaid for buying an option contract is called as premium.

Methodology of the project starts with:
The first phase we are trained and they teach us different things about futures and optionsmarket.
After that I have gone through the data related to Futures and Options market tounderstand the main problem that people were facing during recession and due to that
were not able to cope up with their losses.
Ive understood that people were in losses because they were looking Futures as aninvestment segment but not as a hedging tool and they were not aware of options market.
Then after that we have applied, different hedging strategies on the data of recessionperiod related to Futures and Options segment that could be used there to minimize the
losses.
The next part knows the pattern of the Futures and Options market. How they move with the
correspondence to the market movement and also the economy.
Get the knowledge of technical as well as fundamental methods. Observe the patterns of the Futures and Options market used individually and mutually.

LIMITATIONS
The various Limitations are:--
Lack of awareness about Futures and Options segment: - Since the area isnot known before it takes lot of time in convincing people to start investing in Futures
and Options market for hedging purpose.
Mostly people comfortable with traditional brokers: --As people are doingtrading from their respective brokers, they are quite comfortable to trade via phone.
Lack of Techno Savvy people and poor internet penetration: -- Since mostof the people are quite experienced and also they are not techno savvy. Also internet
penetration is poor in India.
Some respondents are unwilling to talk: - Some respondents either do not havetime or willing does not respond as they are quite annoyed with the adverse market
conditions they faced so far.
Misleading concepts: - Some people think that Derivatives are too risky and justanother name of gamble but they dont know its not at all that risky for long investors.

History of F utures and Options
H istory of futures
The origins of futures trading can be traced to Ancient Greek, in Aristotle's writings. He tells thestory of Thales, a poor philosopher from Miletus who developed a "financial device, whichinvolves a principle of universal application." Thales used his skill in forecasting and predictedthat the olive harvest would be exceptionally good the next autumn. Confident in his prediction,he made agreements with local olive-press owners to deposit his money with them to guaranteehim exclusive use of their olive presses when the harvest was ready. Thales successfullynegotiated low prices because the harvest was in the future and no one knew whether the harvestwould be plentiful or pathetic and because the olive-press owners were willing to hedge againstthe possibility of a poor yield. When the harvest-time came, and a sharp increase in demand forthe use of the olive presses outstripped supply, he sold his future use contracts of the olivepresses at a rate of his choosing, and made a large quantity of money.
I ntroduction to Futures:
Futures markets were designed to solve the problems that exist in forward markets. A futurescontract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the futureat a certain price. But unlike forward contracts, the futures contracts are standardized andexchange traded. To facilitate liquidity in the futures contracts, the exchange specifies certainstandard 27 features of the contract. It is a standardized contract with standard underlyinginstrument, a standard quantity and quality of the underlying instrument that can be delivered, (orwhich can be used for reference purposes in settlement) and a standard timing of such settlement.A futures contract may be offset prior to maturity by entering into an equal and oppositetransaction. More than 99% of futures transactions are offset this way. The standardized items ina futures contract are:
Quantity of the underlying Quality of the underlying The date and the month of delivery The units of price quotation and minimum price change Location of settlement

Futures Terminology
Spot pr ice:The price at which an asset trades in the spot market. Futur es price: The price at which the futures contract trades in the futures market. Contr act cycle:The period over which a contract trades. The index futures contracts on
the NSE have one- month, two-months and three months expiry cycles which expire onthe last Thursday of the month. Thus a January expiration contract expires on the lastThursday of January and a February expiration contract ceases trading on the last
Thursday of February. On the Friday following the last Thursday, a new contract havinga three- month expiry is introduced for trading.
Expir y date: It is the date specified in the futures contract. This is the last day on whichthe contract will be traded, at the end of which it will cease to exist.
Contr act size: The amount of asset that has to be delivered under one contract. Alsocalled as lot size.
Basis: In the context of financial futures, basis can be defined as the futures price minusthe spot price. There will be a different basis for each delivery month for each contract. In
a normal market, basis will be positive. This reflects that futures prices normally exceedspot prices.
Cost of carry:The relationship between futures prices and spot prices can be summarizedin terms of what is known as the cost of carry. This measures the storage cost plus theinterest that is paid to finance the asset less the income earned on the asset.
I nitial margin: The amount that must be deposited in the margin account at the time afutures contract is first entered into is known as initial margin.

Marking-to-market: In the futures market, at the end of each trading day, the marginaccount is adjusted to reflect the investor's gain or loss depending upon the futuresclosing price. This is called marking-to-market.
Maintenance margin :This is somewhat lower than the initial margin. This is set toensure that the balance in the margin account never becomes negative. If the balance inthe margin account falls below the maintenance margin, the investor receives a margincall and is expected to top up the margin account to the initial margin level before tradingcommences on the next day.

H istory of Options
It is not known when the first option contract traded; however, similar contracts can be tracedback as far as the Romans and the Phoenicians, who used them in shipping, and ancient Greece,where a mathematician and philosopher named Thales used them to secure a low price for olivepresses in advance of the harvest. They were also used in the tulip trading craze in Holland in the1600s.
Options appeared in America roughly the same time as stocks. At first they were not traded on anexchange; trades were done privately between buyers and sellers. Growth in options tradingremained slow for the next few decades, mostly because trading by phone without being able to
determine the real market for a contract made them illiquid and cumbersome to trade.
I ntroduction to Options
In this section, we look at the next derivative product to be traded on the NSE, namely options.Options are fundamentally different from forward and futures contracts. An option gives theHolder of the option the right to do something. The holder does not have to exercise this right.In contrast, in a forward or futures contract, the two parties have committed themselves toDoing something. Whereas it costs nothing (except margin requirements) to enter into a futuresContract, the purchase of an option requires an up-front payment.

Options Terminology
I ndex options: These options have the index as the underlying. Some options areEuropean while others are American. Like index futures contracts, index optionsContracts are also cash settled.
Stock options: Stock options are options on individual stoc ks. Options currently trade onover 500 stocks in the United States. A contract gives the holder the right to buy or sellshares at the specified price.
Buyer of an option:The buyer of an option is the one who by paying the option premiumbuys the right but not the obligation to exercise his option on the seller/writer.
Wri ter 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 toBuy an asset by a certain date for a certain price.
Put option: A put option gives the holder the right but not the obligation toSell an asset 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.
Expi ration date: The date specified in the options contract is known as the expirationdate, the exercise date, the strike date or the maturity.
Stri ke pri ce: The price specified in the options contract is known as the strike price orthe exercise price.

American options:American options are options that can be exercised at any time up tothe 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 andproperties of an American option are frequently deduced from those of its Europeancounterpart.
I n-the-money option:An in-the-money (ITM) option is an option that would lead to apositive cash flow to the holder if it were exercised immediately. A call option on theindex is said to be in-the-money when the current index stands at a level higher than thestrike price (i.e. spot price > strike price). If the index is much higher than the strikeprice, the call is said to be deep ITM. In the case of a put, the put is ITM if the index isbelow 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-moneywhen 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 that wouldlead to a negative cash flow if it were exercised immediately. A call option on the indexis out-of-the-money when the current index stands at a level which is less than the strikeprice (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 strikeprice.
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 theoption is ATM. The longer the time to expiration, the greater is an option's time value, allelse equal. At expiration, an option should have no time value.

Hedging

Central Institute of Business Management Research & Development, Nagpur-25

What I s Hedging?
The best way to understand hedging is to think of it as insurance. When people decide to hedge,
they are insuring themselves against a negative event. This doesn't prevent a negative event from
happening, but if it does happen and you're properly hedged, the impact of the event is reduced.
So, hedging occurs almost everywhere, and we see it every day. For example, if you buy house
insurance, you are hedging yourself against fires, break-ins or other unforeseen disasters.
Portfolio managers, individual investors and corporations use hedging techniques to reduce their
exposure to various risks. In financial markets, however, hedging becomes more complicated
than simply paying an insurance company a fee every year. Hedging against investment riskmeans strategically using instruments in the market to offset the risk of any adverse price
movements. In other words, investors hedge one investment by making another.
Technically, to hedge you would invest in two securities with negativecorrelations. Of course,
nothing in this world is free, so you still have to pay for this type of insurance in one form or
another.
Although some of us may fantasize about a world where profit potentials are limitless but also
risk free, hedging can't help us escape the hard reality of therisk-return tradeoff. A reduction in
risk will always mean a reduction in potential profits. So, hedging, for the most part, is a
technique not by which you will make money but by which you can reduce potential loss. If the
investment you are hedging against makes money, you will have typically reduced the profit that
you could have made, and if the investment loses money, your hedge, if successful, will reduce
that loss.

How Do I nvestors Hedge?
Hedging techniques generally involve the use of complicated financial instruments known as
derivatives, the two most common of which areoptionsandfutures. We're not going to get into
the nitty-gritty of describing how these instruments work, but for now just keep in mind that with
these instruments you can develop trading strategies where a loss in one investment is offset by a
gain in a derivative difficult to achieve in practice.
What H edging M eans to You
The Downside
Every hedge has a cost, so before you decide to use hedging, you must ask yourself if the
benefits received from it justify the expense. Remember, the goal of hedging isn't to make moneybut to protect from losses. The cost of the hedge - whether it is the cost of an option or lost
profits from being on the wrong side of a futures contract - cannot be avoided. This is the price
you have to pay to avoid uncertainty.
We've been comparing hedging versus insurance, but we should emphasize that insurance is far
more precise than hedging. With insurance, you are completely compensated for your loss
(usually minus a deductible). Hedging a portfolio isn't a perfect science and things can go wrong.
Although risk managers are always aiming for the perfect hedge, it is
The majority of investors will never trade a derivative contract in their life. In fact mostbuy-and-
holdinvestors ignore short-term fluctuation altogether. For these investors there is little point in
engaging in hedging because they let their investments grow with the overall market.

So why learn about hedging?
Even if you never hedge for your own portfolio you should understand how it works because
many big companies and investment funds will hedge in some form. Oil companies, for example,
might hedge against the price of oil while an international mutual fund might hedge against
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. An understanding of hedging will help you to comprehend
and analyze these investments.

Options strategies: long call
Purchasing calls has remained the most popular strategy with investors since listed options werefirst introduced. Before moving into more complex bullish and bearish strategies, an investorshould thoroughly understand the fundamentals about buying and holding call options.
Market Opinion?
Bullish to Very Bullish
When to Use?
This strategy appeals to an investor who is generally more interested in the dollar amount of hisinitial investment and the leveraged financial reward that long calls can offer. The primarymotivation of this investor is to realize financial reward from an increase in price of theunderlying security. Experience and precision are key to selecting the right option (expirationand/or strike price) for the most profitable result. In general, the more out-of-the-money the callis the more bullish the strategy, as bigger increases in the underlying stock price are required forthe option to reach the break-even point.

Options Strategies: Long Put
A long put can be an ideal tool for an investor who wishes to participate profitably from a
downward price move in the underlying stock. Before moving into more complex bearishstrategies, an investor should thoroughly understand the fundamentals about buying and holdingput options.
Market Opinion?
Bearish
When to Use?
Purchasing puts without owning shares of the underlying stock is a purely directional strategy
used for bearish speculation. The primary motivation of this investor is to realize financialreward from a decrease in price of the underlying security. This investor is generally moreinterested in the dollar amount of his initial investment and the leveraged financial reward thatlong puts can offer than in the number of contracts purchased.
Experience and precision are key in selecting the right option (expiration and/or strike price) forthe most profitable result. In general, the more out-of-the-money the put purchased is the morebearish the strategy, as bigger decreases in the underlying stock price is required for the option toreach the break-even point.

Options Strategies: Marr ied Put
An investor purchasing a put while at the same time purchasing an equivalent number of sharesof the underlying stock is establishing a "married put" position - a hedging strategy with a namefrom an old IRS ruling.
Market Opinion?
Bullish to Very Bullish
When to Use?
The investor employing the married put strategy wants the benefits of stock ownership(dividends, voting rights, etc.), but has concerns about unknown, near-term, downside marketrisks. Purchasing puts with the purchase of shares of the underlying stock is a directional andbullish strategy. The primary motivation of this investor is to protect his shares of the underlyingsecurity from a decrease in market price. He will generally purchase a number of put contractsequivalent to the number of shares held.

Options Strategies: Protective Put
An investor who purchases a put option while holding shares of the underlying stock from a
previous purchase is employing a "protective put."
Market Opinion?
Bullish on the Underlying Stock
When to Use?
The investor employing the protective put strategy owns shares of underlying stock from a
previous purchase, and generally has unrealized profits accrued from an increase in value ofthose shares. He might have concerns about unknown, downside market risks in the near termand wants some protection for the gains in share value. Purchasing puts while holding shares ofunderlying stock is a directional strategy, but a bullish one.

Options Strategies: Covered Call
The covered call is a strategy in which an investor writes a call option contract while at the same
time owning an equivalent number of shares of the underlying stock. If this stock is purchasedsimultaneously with writing the call contract, the strategy is commonly referred to as a "buy-write." If the shares are already held from a previous purchase, it is commonly referred to an"overwrite." In either case, the stock is generally held in the same brokerage account from whichthe investor writes the call, and fully collateralizes, or "covers," the obligation conveyed bywriting a call option contract. This strategy is the most basic and most widely used strategycombining the flexibility of listed options with stock ownership.
Market Opinion?
Neutral to Bullish on the Underlying Stock
When to Use?
Though the covered call can be utilized in any market condition, it is most often employed whenthe investor, while bullish on the underlying stock, feels that its market value will experiencelittle range over the lifetime of the call contract. The investor desires to either generate additionalincome (over dividends) from shares of the underlying stock, and/or provide a limited amount of
protection against a decline in underlying stock value.

Options Strategies: Cash Secured Put
According to the terms of a put contract, a put writer is obligated to purchase an equivalentnumber of underlying shares at the put's strike price if assigned an exercise notice on the writtencontract. Many investors write puts because they are willing to be assigned and acquire shares ofthe underlying stock in exchange for the premium received from the put's sale. For thisdiscussion, a put writer's position will be considered as "cash-secured" if he has on deposit withhis brokerage firm a cash amount (or equivalent) sufficient to cover such a purchase.
Market Opinion?
Neutral to Slightly Bullish
8/14/2019 Copy of Anil Derivatives Projets
45/67
Central Institute of Business Management Research & Development, Nagpur-25
45
When to Use?
There are two key motivations for employing this strategy: either as an attempt to purchaseunderlying shares below current market price, or to collect and keep premium from the sale ofputs which expire out-of-the-money and with no value. An investor should write cash securedput only when he would be comfortable owning underlying shares, because assignment is alwayspossible at any time before the put expires. In addition, he should be satisfied that the net cost forthe shares will be at a satisfactory entry point if he is assigned an exercise. The number of putcontracts written should correspond to the number of shares the investor is comfortable andfinancially capable of purchasing. While assignment may not be the objective at times, it shouldnot be a financial burden. This strategy can become speculative when more puts are written thanthe equivalent number of shares desired to own.

Options Strategies: Bul l Call Spread
Establishing a bull call spread involves the purchase of a call option on a particular underlyingstock, while simultaneously writing a call option on the same underlying stock with the sameexpiration month, at a higher strike price. Both the buy and the sell sides of this spread areopening transactions, and are always the same number of contracts. This spread is sometimesmore broadly categorized as a "vertical spread": a family of spreads involving options of thesame stock, same expiration month, but different strike prices. They can be created with either allcalls or all puts, and be bullish or bearish. The bull call spread, as any spread, can be executed asa"unit" in one single transaction, not as separate buy and sell transactions. For this bullishvertical spread, a bid and offer for the whole package can be requested through your brokerage
firm from an exchange where the options are listed and traded.
Market Opinion?
Moderately Bullish to Bullish
8/14/2019 Copy of Anil Derivatives Projets

Central Institute of Business Management Research & Development, Nagpur-25
47
Whento Use?
Moderately bul li sh
An investor often employs the bull call spread in moderately bullish market environments, andwants to capitalize on a modest advance in price of the underlying stock. If the investor's opinionis very bullish on a stock it will generally prove more profitable to make a simple call purchase.
Risk Reduction
An investor will also turn to this spread when there is discomfort with either the cost ofpurchasing and holding the long call alone, or with the conviction of his bullish market opinion.

Options Strategies: Bear Put Spread
Establishing a bear put spread involves the purchase of a put option on a particular underlyingstock, while simultaneously writing a put option on the same underlying stock with the sameexpiration month, but with a lower strike price. Both the buy and the sell sides of this spread areopening transactions, and are always the same number of contracts. This spread is sometimesmore broadly categorized as a "vertical spread": a family of spreads involving options of thesame stock, same expiration month, but different strike prices.

When to Use?
Moderately beari sh
An investor often employs the bear put spread in moderately bearish market environments, andwants to capitalize on a modest decrease in price of the underlying stock. If the investor's opinionis very bearish on a stock it will generally prove more profitable to make a simple put purchase.

An investor will also turn to this spread when there is discomfort with either the cost ofpurchasing and holding the long put alone, or with the conviction of his bearish market opinion.

Options Strategies: Col lar
A collar can be established by holding shares of an underlying stock, purchasing a protective putand writing a covered call on that stock. The option portions of this strategy are referred to as acombination. Generally, the put and the call are both out-of-the-money when this combination isestablished, and have the same expiration month. Both the buy and the sell sides of this spreadare opening transactions, and are always the same number of contracts. In other words, one collarequals one long put and one written call along with owning 100 shares of the underlying stock.The primary concern in employing a collar is protection of profits accrued from underlyingshares rather than increasing returns on the upside.
Market Opinion?
Neutral, following a period of appreciation
When to Use?
An investor will employ this strategy after accruing unrealized profits from the underlyingshares, and wants to protect these gains with the purchase of a protective put. At the same time,the investor is willing to sell his stock at a price higher than current market price so an out-of-the-money call contract is written, covered in this case by the underlying stock.

Options Strategies: Long Straddle
The long straddle is simply the simultaneous purchase of a long call and a long put on the sameunderlying security with both options having the same expiration and same strike price. Becausethe position includes both a long call and a long put, the investor in a straddle should have acomplete understanding of the risks and rewards associated with both long calls and long puts.
**Since the straddle involves two trades, a commission charge is likely for the purchase (and anysubsequent sale) of each position -- one commission for the call and one commission for the put.
Market Opinion?
Increasing volatility and large price swings in the underlying security. Potentially profit from abig move, either up or down, in the underlying price during the life of the options.
8/14/2019 Copy of Anil Derivatives Projets
52/67
Central Institute of Business Management Research & Development, Nagpur-25
52
When to Use?
Purchasing only long calls or only long puts is primarily a directional strategy. The long straddle
however, consisting ofboth long calls and long puts is not a directional strategy, rather it is onewhere the investor feels large price swings are forthcoming but is unsure of the direction. Thisstrategy may prove beneficial when the investor feels large price movement, either up or down,is imminent but is uncertain of the direction.
An instance of when a straddle may be considered is when the investor believes there is newsforthcoming. An example may be when one is anticipating news regarding a drug in trials from abiotechnology company. The investor feels the news surrounding the drug will introduce largeprice swings in the underlying but is unsure of whether this news will have a positive or negativeimpact on the price. If the news is positive, this may positively impact the price of the security. Ifthe news is disappointing, the stock could decline considerably. The risk is the stock remaining
at the strike price of the straddle until expiration.

Options Strategies: Long Strangle
The long strangle is simply the simultaneous purchase of a long call anda long put on the sameunderlying security with both options having the same expiration but where the put strike price islower than the call strike price. Because the position includes both a long call and a long put, theinvestor using a long strangle should have a complete understanding of the risks and rewardsassociated with both long calls and long puts.
Market Opinion?
Increasing volatility and extremely large price swings in the underlying security. Potentiallyprofit from a large move, either up or down, in the underlying price during the life of the options.

This strategy may prove beneficial when the investor feels large price movement,either up or down, is about to happen but uncertain of the direction.
An instance of when a strangle may be considered is when an earnings announcement isforthcoming. The investor feels the projected announcement will introduce large price
swings in the underlying. If the earnings announcement and future outlook is positive, this maypositively impact the price of the security. If the earning announcement and outlook is negative,or fails to impress investors, the stock could decline considerably. The risk is the stock remainsstable or between the strike price of the call and strike price of the put until expiration. Anotherrisk is that the stock's move does not produce a corresponding option price increase that isenough to cover the two premiums paid for the position. Declining implied volatility will alsonegatively impact this strategy.

Payoff for futures
Futures contracts have linear payoffs. In simple words, it means that the losses as well as profitsfor the buyer and the seller of a futures contract are unlimited.
These linear payoffs are fascinating as they can be combined with options and the underlying togenerate various complex payoffs.
Payoff for buyer of futures: Long futures
The payoff for a person who buys a futures contract is similar to the payoff for a person whoholds an asset. He has a potentially unlimited upside as well as a potentially unlimited downside.
Take the case of a speculator who buys a two-month Nifty index futures contract when the Niftystands at 1220. The underlying asset in this case is the Nifty portfolio. When the index moves up,the long futures position starts making profits, and when the index moves down it starts makinglosses. Figure 5.1 shows the payoff diagram for the buyer of a futures contract.
Payoff for seller of futures: Short futures
The payoff for a person who sells a futures contract is similar to the payoff for a person whoshorts an asset. He has a potentially unlimited upside as well as a potentially unlimited downside.Take the case of a speculator who sells a two-month Nifty index futures contract when the Niftystands at 1220. The underlying asset in this case is the Nifty portfolio. When the index moves
down, the short futures position starts making profits, and when the index moves up, it startsmaking losses. Figure 5.2 shows the payoff diagram for the seller of a future Contract

5.2 Options payoffs
The optionality characteristic of options results in a non-linear payoff for options. In simple
words, it means that the losses for the buyer of an option are limited, however the profits are
potentially unlimited. For a writer, the payoff is exactly the opposite. His profits are limited to
the option premium; however his losses are potentially unlimited.
These non-linear payoffs are fascinating as they lend themselves to be used to generate various
payoffs by using combinations of options and the underlying. We look here at the six basic
payoffs.
5.2.1 Payoff profile of buyer of asset: Long asset
In this basic position, an investor buys the underlying asset, Nifty for instance, for 1220, and
sells it at a future date at an unknown price,S4 it is purchased, the investor is said to be long the
asset. Figure 5.3 shows the payoff for a long position on the Nifty. 1

5.2.2 Payoff profile for seller of asset: Short asset
In this basic position, an investor shorts the underlying asset, Nifty for instance, for 1220, and
buys it back at a future date at an unknown price S4 Once it is sold, the investor is said to be
short the asset. Figure 5.4 shows the payoff for a short position on the Nifty.

5.2.3 Payoff profile for buyer of call options: Long call
A call option gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price specified in
the option. The profit/loss that the buyer makes on the option depends on the spot price of the
underlying. If upon expiration, the spot price exceeds the strike price, he makes a profit. Higher
the spot price, more is the profit he makes. If the spot price of the underlying is less than the
strike price, he lets his option expire un-exercised. His loss in this case is the premium he paid

for buying the option. Figure 5.5 gives the payoff for the buyer of a three month call option
(often referred to as long call) with a strike of 1250 bought at a premium of 86.60.
5.2.4 Payoff profile for writer of call options: Short call
A call option gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying asset at the strike price specified in
the option. For selling the option, the writer of the option charges a premium. The profit/loss that
the buyer makes on the option depends on the spot price of the underlying. Whatever is the
buyers profit is the sellers loss. If upon expiration, the spot price exceeds the strike price, the
buyer will exercise the option on the writer. Hence as the spot price increases the writer of the
option starts making losses. Higher the spot price, more is the loss he makes. If upon expiration
the spot price of the underlying is less than the strike price, the buyer lets his option expire un-
exercised and the writer gets to keep the premium. Figure 5.6 gives the payoff for the writer of a
three month call option (often referred to as short call) with a strike of 1250 sold at a premium of
86.60.
Figure 5.5 Payoff for buyer of call option
The figure shows the profits/losses for the buyer of a three-month Nifty 1250 call option. As can
be seen, as the spot Nifty rises, the call option is in-the-money. If upon expiration, Nifty closes
above the strike of 1250, the buyer would exercise his option and profit to the extent of thedifference between the Nifty-close and the strike price. The profits possible on this option are
potentially unlimited. However if Nifty falls below the strike of 1250, he lets the option expire.
His losses are limited to the extent of the premium he paid for buying the option.

5.2.5 Payoff profile for buyer of put options: Long put
A put option gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price specified in
the option. The profit/loss that the buyer makes on the option depends on the spot price of the
underlying. If upon expiration, the spot price is below the strike price, he makes a profit. Lower
the spot price, more is the profit he makes. If the spot price of the underlying is higher than the
strike price, he lets his option expire un-exercised. His loss in this case is the premium he paid
for buying the option. Figure 5.7 gives the payoff for the buyer of a three month put option (often
referred to as long put) with a strike of 1250 bought at a premium of 61.70.
