WHAT IS PUT OPTION

What is PUT OPTION

If you think a stock price is going to go down, then there are 3 trades that you can make to profit from a rising stock price: 

1. you can sell the stock
2. you can buy put options on the stock, or
3. you can write call options on the stock

Selling stock  huge capital investment i.e.your total capital is @ risk plus u need to cover it cover intraday or supply delivery

Writing call option also need huge margin and risk associated with it is unlimited

Buying put option give u unlimited profit upside and limited risk downside.

Only enemy of put option is time so u should book your profits as early as possible.

Let’s understand using an example. Suppose, today’s date is 25-APR-2012 and you BUY a RELIANCE PUT option (strike=700, EXPIRY  MAY 31) @ Rs. 10  per contract when RELIANCE stock was getting traded at 740. Let’s see what happens after options expiration.

Case I : Reliance stock price greater than the strike price  on expiry day cut-off time

Net loss = Premium paid = Rs. 10 per contract

Case II : Reliance stock price less than strike price (700) on expiry day cut-off time i.e. 640

Net profit = (current price – strike price) - premium = (700-640 ) -10= Rs. 50 per contract

So when you buy a put option you have unlimited profit potential but limited risk or downside.

Let’s understand using an example. Suppose, today’s date is 18-APR-2012 and you buy a RELIANCE CALL option (strike=800, EXPIRY  MAY 31) @ Rs. 20  per contract when RELIANCE stock was getting traded at 760. Let’s see what happens after options expiration.

Case I : Reliance stock price greater than the strike price. Reliance stock trading at 840on expiry day cut-off time

Net profit = (current price – strike price) - premium = (840–800 ) -20= Rs. 20 per contract

Case II : Reliance stock price less than strike price (800) on expiry day cut-off time

Net loss = Premium paid = Rs. 20 per contract

So when you buy a CALL option you have unlimited profit potential but limited risk or downside.

OPTION PUT CALL RATIO

PUT CALL RATIO

 Put Call Ratio is one of the most common technical indicators used by investors and traders. Why? Well, it is designed to quantify investor sentiment, which many market technicians believe is the primary factor in market turns and trends.

It is calculated using the activity of options buyers, who are focused on anticipating moves within a certain time period. The most common method of measuring the Put Call Ratio is to divide the number of put contracts by the number of call contracts traded during a set time period. Investors buying puts are anticipating lower prices, while call buyers expect the market to rally.

This ratio tells us about the level of bullishness or bearishness in the market. PC ratio can be used in two ways, either the direct way or the contrarian way. For the direct way, you simply follow the ratio and flow with the tide, and for the contrarian way when bullishness is high then downside risk is also high so you take a contrarian view and sell or vice versa. It can act as a preventive measure against sentiments which often lead to buying when the market is high and selling when it is low.

PC ratio goes well with overbought and over sold indicators. A low PC ratio, generally below one, reflects a bullish sentiment and vice versa. It can be based either on open interest or volumes. PC ratio on volumes indicates the sentiment on that particular day while PC ratio on open interest (PCR-OI) gives a carry forward view.

Open interest is the total number of options and/or futures contracts that have not yet been exercised, expired or fulfilled by delivery on a particular day. PCR-OI is mainly used to gauge the sentiment for the coming trading sessions.

Theoretically, if one buys a put option then he is bearish on the underlying and one who buys a call option is bullish on the same. This theory works very well in matured markets where options turnover as well as open interest is significantly high. So there, one can form a conclusion that if PCR-OI is high then market participants are expecting underlying to correct and vice-versa. However, PCR-OI is not seen in isolation, it is seen with price movement. For example, if underlying after moving up has become range-bound and then you see that PCR-OI of that underlying is increasing then one may say that participants are expecting correction and vice-versa.
