Key Points
• Options can be a very effective tool to take advantage of a rising or falling underlying. The following points may be kept in mind while purchasing options:• The time value of option premiums decay towards
expiration, so market timing is very important.• Choose an option month that allows enough time for
the anticipated move in the underlying.• In-the-money calls are initially more responsive to
underlying price changes than out-of-the-money calls.
• Choose a strike price level that offers a good risk/reward ratio given the expected price movement.

Open Interest
Open Interest is an important indicator that can help one in ascertaining the flow of funds.
If the open interest rises with rise in price it is a bullish indication.
If open interest rises and prices fall it is a bearish indication.
If open interest falls and prices rise it is a sign of short covering by bears.
If open interest falls and prices also fall it is a sign of profit booking by bulls or liquidation of positions.
UNICON
Put Call Ratio
Put call ratio is an important indicator that can help one in gauging the future direction of the market.
If the Put call ratio rises then there is hope of higher prices in the near future.
If the Put call ratio falls it is a sign of weakness in the market.
Generally put call ratio is read along with volatility. PCR can be calculated for Open Interest/positions or
no of puts and calls traded. Historically – 1.06 -2.00 is bullish. Above 2 and
below 1.06 one may expect a sharp fall.
UNICON
VOLATILITY
There are two types of volatility – historic volatility and implied volatility.
Historic volatility is based on historic prices of the futures and implied volatility is based on the volatility calculated from options i.e. volatility implied by premiums in options.
If volatility rises and PCR falls, it has bearish implications.
If volatility falls and PCR rises, it has bullish implications.
