You are limited to the number of mounted shares your operating system supports.

It turns out that this option is worth roughly Rs.90. So a payment of Rs.90 passes from L to S for having this option. When 31 Dec 2000 arrives, if Nifty is below 1600, the option is worthless and lapses without exercise. Suppose Nifty is at 1650.

I tend to stay away from index trades. I’m not opposed to trading them, it’s just that I can find a better “edge” elsewhere. On occasion, I will trade out-of-the-money (OTM) put credit spreads on the OEX if the implied volatility gets over-extended. An “edge” exists in that market and strategy. Hedgers pump up the put premium (relative to OTM calls).
