HOW TO WRITE OPTION WITHOUT "RISK"

One of the less risky option strategies is called “covered call writing.” For example, you own a stock that has increased in price but you don’t want to sell it because of the capital gains tax or some other reason. However, you also think the market may be going down and it could affect the stock price. So, you sell a call option against your stock and receive a premium for that option. If the stock does go down, then the option will probably expire worthless and you keep the premium. However, if the stock goes up in price, you may have to sell the stock if the buyer of the call option exercises his right. Before that happens, you can buy back the option and keep your stock, so your only cost was the difference in the initial premium received and the amount you had to pay to buy back the option.

Now let’s say you sell a naked call option on XYZ stock when the price of the stock is Rs100 but you think the price is going down. Someone bought that option from you because they thought the price was going up. So, before the option expires, the stock moves to Rs120. Now the buyer uses his call option to buy the stock from you at Rs100. You then have to go into the market and buy it for Rs120 and sell it to him for Rs100. You've lost money obviously, but the stock could have moved much higher so the potential for loss is unlimited. If you had owned the underlying stock and sold that option, you could just deliver the stock to the buyer of the option as we discussed in the covered call writing example above.

Trading options is not easy and should only be done under the guidance of a professional who not only has the knowledge but also the experience in this area. 

TIMING IS ESSENCE WHEN BUYING CALL OPTION

Timing is of great essence in the stock market. Same applies to the derivatives market too, especially since you have multiple options. So when do you buy a call option?
To maximize profits, you buy at lows and sell at highs. A call option helps you fix the buying price. This indicates you are expecting a possible rise in the price of the underlying assets. So, you would rather protect yourself by paying a small premium than make losses by shelling a greater amount in the future.

You thus anticipate a rise in the stock markets, i.e., when market conditions are bullish.

OPTION CALLS TYPE

Short-Term Call Options

When an option trader buys a call option, trader has the right to buy the underlying at strike price before expiration. Keep in mind that just because the option trader has the right to buy the stock, doesn’t mean that trader has to necessarily do so. The call option just like a put option can be sold anytime up until expiration for a profit or loss

Bull Call Spreads

When implementing a bull call spread, an option trader purchases a call option at one strike and sells the same number of calls on the same stock at a higher strike with the same expiration date.

By implementing a bull call spread, traders can hedge their bets limiting the potential loss. This is the advantage when comparing to purchasing a call outright. Remember that there are no sure-fire ways to make money by using options. However, knowing and understanding the strategy is a good way to limit losses.

Long-Term Call Options

The long call option strategy is the most basic option trading strategy whereby the options trader buys call options with the belief that the price of the underlying security will rise significantly beyond the strike price before the option expiration date.

LONG BUTTERFLY STRATEGY

Short two calls at the middle strike, and long one call each at the lower and upper strike.  The upper and lower strikes (wings) must both be equidistant from the middle strike (body), and all the options must be the same expiration.

Max Loss

The maximum loss would occur should the underlying stock be outside the wings at expiration.

Max Gain

The maximum profit would occur should the underlying stock be at the middle strike at expiration.
