How To make money with PUT Options

The Basic Put Option 
A put option provides an investor with the right, but not the obligation to sell a stock at a specific price.This price is known as the strike, or exercise price.
If you believe a specific stock or market will go downwards in near future you buy plain put option for that particular stock or index.The price of this option moves opposite to underlying security price.

Writing Put Options for Income
Buying a put option is similar to going short on a stock, or profiting from a fall in the stock price.  However, an investor can also short, or write a put option.  This lets him or her receive income in the form of receiving the option price and the hope is the stock remains above the strike price.  If the stock falls below the strike price, the put writer has the obligation to buy the stock (because it is effectively “put” to him or her) from the put option holder.  Again, this occurs if the stock price falls below the exercise price.
When writing put options, the investor who is short is betting that the stock price will remain above the exercise price during the term of the option.  When this happens, the investor is able to keep the premium and earn income from the strategy.
Combining One Put with Another Option 
To create  a more advanced strategy and demonstrate the use of put options in practice, consider combining a put option with a call option.   This strategy is known as a straddle and consists of buying a put option as well as going long a call option.  In this case, the investor is speculating that the stock is going to have a relatively significant move either up or down. 
For example, assume a stock trades at Rs 1000.  The straddle strategy can be relatively straightforward and consist of purchasing both the put and call at a strike price of 1000.  Two long options are purchased with the same expiration date and a profit is reached if either the stock moves up or down by more than the cost to purchase both options. 

Looking at an actual stock,  shares of Reliance recently traded around 1000 per share.  A call option trades at Rs 14 and a put option trades at Rs 15 for a total cost of Rs 28 for a single contract.  In this case, the stock would have to move up past Rs 1028 for the call option to start to pay off and below Rs 972 for the put strategy to start to pay off.

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.

Call Calendar Spread


 Using calls, the calendar spread strategy can be setup by buying long term calls and simultaneously writing an equal number of near-month at-the-money or slightly out-of-the-money calls of the same underlying security with the same strike price
Calendar spreads, also known as time spreads, are extremely versatile strategies and can be used to take advantage of a number of scenarios while minimizing risk. A calendar spread consists of buying or selling a call or put of one expiration and doing the opposite in a later expiration. More often than not, this involves buying or selling an option in the front month (the expiration closest to the current date) and selling or buying an option of the same strike either the next month or a few months out. They can also be done using weeklies instead, especially around events. Call or put calendar spreads look alike on a graph of profit and loss.

'Outright Option' call & put

An option that is bought or sold by itself; in other words, the option position is not hedged by another offsetting position. An outright option can be either a call or a put.
When option traders first get their feet wet trading options, they often just buy call options for a bullish outlook and put options for a bearish outlook. In their defense, they are new so they probably do not know many if not any advanced strategies which means they are limited in the option strategies they can trade. Buying call options and put options are the most basic but many times they may not be the best choice.

In addition, simply buying call options and put options without comparing and contrasting implied volatility (Vega), time decay (theta) and how changes in the stock price will affect the option premium (delta) can lead to common mistakes. Option traders will sometimes buy options when option premiums are inflated or choose expirations with too little time left. Understanding the pros and cons of an option spread can significantly improve your option trading.
BREAKING DOWN 'Outright Option'
Most option trades involve outright options. The opposite strategy to purchasing outright options is a spread trade strategy, which involves purchasing one option and selling another option of the same class but of a different series

Puts, calls, strike price, in-the-money, out-of-the-money — buying and selling stock options isn't just new territory for many investors, it's a whole new language.
Options are often seen as fast-moving, fast-money trades. Certainly options can be aggressive plays; they're volatile, levered and speculative. Options and other derivative securities have made fortunes and ruined them. Options are sharp tools, and you need to know how to use them without abusing them.
Stock options give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell shares at a set dollar amount the "strike price" before a specific expiration date. When a "call" option hits its strike price, the stock can be called away. Conversely, with a "put" option the shares can be sold, or "put," to someone else. The value of puts and calls depends on the direction you think a stock or the market is heading. Stated simply, calls are bullish; puts are bearish.

What is the difference between options and futures?

The main fundamental difference between options and futures lies in the obligations they put on their buyers and sellers. An option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation to buy (or sell) a certain asset at a specific price at any time during the life of the contract. A futures contract gives the buyer the obligation to purchase a specific asset, and the seller to sell and deliver that asset at a specific future date, unless the holder's position is closed prior to expiration.
Another key difference between options and futures is the size of the underlying position. Generally, the underlying position is much larger for futures contracts, and the obligation to buy or sell this certain amount at a given price makes futures more risky for the inexperienced investor.

The difference between futures and options as financial instruments depict different profit pictures for parties. The gain in the option trading can be obtained in certain different manners. On the contrary, the gain in the future trading is automatically linked to the daily fluctuations in the market. This is to say that the value of profit positions for investors is dependent upon the market position at the close of the trading every day. Therefore, every investor should have a prior knowledge of both futures and options before they enter the financial market operations.
1. A future is a contract which is governed by a pre-determined price for selling and buying at a future period. In options, there is the right to sell or purchase of underlying assets without any obligation.
2. A future trading has open risk. The risk in option is limited.
3. The size of the underlying stock is usually huge in future trading. Option trading is of normal size.
4. Futures need no advance payment. Options have the advance payment system of premiums

Butterfly Spread

All the strategies up to this point have required a combination of two different positions or contracts. In a butterfly spread options strategy, an investor will combine both a bull spread strategy and a bear spread strategy, and use three different strike prices. For example, one type of butterfly spread involves purchasing one call (put) option at the lowest (highest) strike price, while selling two call (put) options at a higher (lower) strike price, and then one last call (put) option at an even higher (lower) strike price.

Why Use Options?

There are two main reasons why an investor would use options: 
Speculation 
speculation 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.

Trading Strategy: Buying Call Options to Hedge a Short Sale

One of the riskiest investment strategies in the financial world involves selling stock short. This involves borrowing stock from your broker and selling it. If the stock's market price drops, you can buy it back at the lower price, pay back your broker and pocket the difference. Problems arise if the stock price doesn't co-operate and instead skyrockets. You can hedge your position by buying protective call options.
Call Options
A call option gives the option holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, called the strike price, for a set period. If the option isn't exercised before it reaches its expiration date, it becomes worthless and ceases to exist. Call options are traded on major investment exchanges in much the same way that stocks are traded. While owning a call option doesn't give you ownership of the underlying stock, it does give you control over that stock for as long as the option is in force.

TWO WAYS TO SELL AN OPTION

In contrast to buying options, selling stock options does come with an obligation - the obligation to sell the underlying equity to a buyer if that buyer decides to exercise the option and you are "assigned" the exercise obligation. "Selling" options is often referred to as "writing" options.
When you sell (or "write") a Call - you are selling a buyer the right to purchase stock from you at a specified strike price for a specified period of time, regardless of how high the market price of the stock may climb.
Covered Calls
One of the most popular call writing strategies is known as a covered call. In a covered call, you are selling the right to buy an equity that you own. If a buyer decides to exercise his or her option to buy the underlying equity, you are obligated to sell to them at the strike price - whether the strike price is higher or lower than your original cost of the equity. Sometimes an investor may buy an equity and simultaneously sell (or write) a call on the equity. This is referred to as a "buy-write."

CALCULATION OF P & L IN OPTION

While it comes to calculation, there is thing we have to learn  how to calculate profits/losses are calculate. 
Let’s go with an example, nifty to understand better how profits and losses are calculated in options trading. The lot size of nifty is 50 shares in number irrespective of call or put. The profit/loss does not depend on the type of call (nifty call option or nifty put option), expiry or strike. It directly depends only on premium which trader selects while purchasing the option.

HOW TO HEDGE FUTURE WITH OPTION


      I.            Buy corresponding number of options as your Future positions. For example, if you have a position size of five futures contracts, purchase five corresponding options to completely hedge your position. Also, make sure the expiration month of the options you purchase matches the expiration date of the futures contracts you own.
  II.            Select a strike price that fits your accepted level of risk tolerance. When you purchase an option, you must specify a strike price. The closer the strike price is to the current futures price, the more expensive the option.
