1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:02,487
Monthly means safer?

2
00:00:02,487 --> 00:00:04,550
Look at the clock.

3
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:08,000
This monthly contract expires tomorrow.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,188
This weekly contract has five trading sessions left.

5
00:00:12,188 --> 00:00:15,488
The names alone cannot tell us the risk.

6
00:00:15,488 --> 00:00:19,625
Days to expiry means the time actually remaining.

7
00:00:19,625 --> 00:00:23,337
Compare that time and the complete position.

8
00:00:23,337 --> 00:00:27,600
Neither weekly nor monthly promises easy income.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,000
Today, we compare two made up spreads.

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,025
This is general education, not personal trading advice.

11
00:00:36,025 --> 00:00:39,912
You can learn the method without placing a trade.

12
00:00:40,612 --> 00:00:44,887
Near expiry, a small move can matter greatly.

13
00:00:44,887 --> 00:00:48,750
This matters especially near the option strike.

14
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:52,899
Its response to further moves can change sharply.

15
00:00:52,899 --> 00:00:56,337
That changing response is called Gamma.

16
00:00:56,337 --> 00:00:59,599
Time value can disappear quickly too.

17
00:00:59,599 --> 00:01:03,349
But the seller may still face a large loss.

18
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:06,724
More days can mean more time value.

19
00:01:06,724 --> 00:01:11,175
Prices may also respond more to changing uncertainty.

20
00:01:11,175 --> 00:01:15,074
And there are more days for news to arrive.

21
00:01:15,074 --> 00:01:18,525
For a spread, check all legs together.

22
00:01:18,525 --> 00:01:23,262
Their combined response also depends on the index level.

23
00:01:23,262 --> 00:01:26,904
Extra time does not make the position safe.

24
00:01:27,604 --> 00:01:32,029
Our examples use the same index and spread width.

25
00:01:32,029 --> 00:01:37,016
These examples use European, cash-settled index options.

26
00:01:37,016 --> 00:01:40,342
The strikes are two hundred points apart.

27
00:01:40,342 --> 00:01:43,966
Each example uses sixty five units.

28
00:01:43,966 --> 00:01:47,867
That quantity is not a current lot size rule.

29
00:01:47,867 --> 00:01:52,379
Within each spread, the two legs share an expiry.

30
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:55,904
Use the correct strikes and option types.

31
00:01:55,904 --> 00:02:00,329
Both legs have matching quantities and stay intact.

32
00:02:00,329 --> 00:02:04,566
Our maximum loss means the final expiry payoff.

33
00:02:04,566 --> 00:02:08,229
It is before charges and execution costs.

34
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:12,366
It does not promise a particular exit price today.

35
00:02:12,366 --> 00:02:16,296
It does not remove the need for available cash.

36
00:02:16,996 --> 00:02:20,334
The first spread has three days left.

37
00:02:20,334 --> 00:02:23,621
It receives forty rupees per unit.

38
00:02:23,621 --> 00:02:27,296
That credit is the maximum profit per unit.

39
00:02:27,296 --> 00:02:30,708
Multiply forty by sixty five units.

40
00:02:30,708 --> 00:02:34,696
Maximum profit is two thousand six hundred rupees.

41
00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:38,259
Now calculate the maximum expiry loss.

42
00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:42,271
Two hundred minus forty leaves one hundred sixty.

43
00:02:42,271 --> 00:02:45,958
That is one hundred sixty rupees per unit.

44
00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:49,309
Multiply that by sixty five units.

45
00:02:49,309 --> 00:02:54,096
Maximum expiry loss is ten thousand four hundred rupees.

46
00:02:54,096 --> 00:02:56,309
Charges are extra.

47
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:59,232
This is not a profit forecast.

48
00:02:59,932 --> 00:03:03,394
The second spread has eighteen days left.

49
00:03:03,394 --> 00:03:06,444
Keep the same two hundred point width.

50
00:03:06,444 --> 00:03:10,632
This time, credit is seventy rupees per unit.

51
00:03:10,632 --> 00:03:14,082
Again, we use sixty five units.

52
00:03:14,082 --> 00:03:18,657
Maximum profit is four thousand five hundred fifty rupees.

53
00:03:18,657 --> 00:03:22,657
For loss, subtract seventy from two hundred.

54
00:03:22,657 --> 00:03:26,695
That leaves one hundred thirty rupees per unit.

55
00:03:26,695 --> 00:03:32,482
Across sixty five units, that is eight thousand four hundred fifty rupees.

56
00:03:32,482 --> 00:03:36,495
That maximum expiry loss is before costs.

57
00:03:36,495 --> 00:03:40,532
More credit reduces the loss bound at this width.

58
00:03:40,532 --> 00:03:43,532
It does not prove a better trade.

59
00:03:43,532 --> 00:03:48,576
The strikes, likely outcomes and usable prices still matter.

60
00:03:49,276 --> 00:03:53,701
Mira tries copying the first maximum profit ten times.

61
00:03:53,701 --> 00:03:55,676
Dev stops her.

62
00:03:55,676 --> 00:03:58,463
That is not monthly income.

63
00:03:58,463 --> 00:04:02,063
Each new trade faces a different market.

64
00:04:02,063 --> 00:04:06,176
An earlier loss may leave less available cash.

65
00:04:06,176 --> 00:04:10,738
Repeated entries and exits also bring repeated costs.

66
00:04:10,738 --> 00:04:14,651
Here is a separate, invented cost example.

67
00:04:14,651 --> 00:04:19,513
One completed weekly basket costs two hundred fifty rupees.

68
00:04:19,513 --> 00:04:25,026
That includes charges and execution disadvantage in this example.

69
00:04:25,026 --> 00:04:28,888
Four such baskets cost one thousand rupees.

70
00:04:28,888 --> 00:04:33,339
One monthly basket costing two hundred fifty costs less.

71
00:04:33,339 --> 00:04:37,189
But its market loss could still be much larger.

72
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:41,136
These invented costs are not a broker quote.

73
00:04:41,836 --> 00:04:46,374
Before choosing, check which contracts are actually listed.

74
00:04:46,374 --> 00:04:51,836
Check the index, expiry, strikes, types and valid quantity.

75
00:04:51,836 --> 00:04:56,398
A weekly short and monthly wing have different expiries.

76
00:04:56,398 --> 00:05:00,361
That is not our same expiry vertical spread.

77
00:05:00,361 --> 00:05:04,261
Match the time to your view and event calendar.

78
00:05:04,261 --> 00:05:08,111
Can you actually monitor and carry out the plan?

79
00:05:08,111 --> 00:05:11,861
Check the whole lot loss and usable prices.

80
00:05:11,861 --> 00:05:16,561
Recheck margin, available cash, and settlement funding.

81
00:05:16,561 --> 00:05:20,624
Know the broker close out rules before expiry.

82
00:05:20,624 --> 00:05:24,499
Plan exits early enough to check every leg.

83
00:05:24,499 --> 00:05:29,448
Do not remove protection before the short position is closed.

84
00:05:29,448 --> 00:05:33,480
If a check fails, skipping is a valid decision.

85
00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:39,305
First, compare actual days left, not the expiry label.

86
00:05:39,305 --> 00:05:43,443
Second, count the whole position and all costs.

87
00:05:43,443 --> 00:05:47,943
Third, choose only a plan you can fund and follow.

88
00:05:47,943 --> 00:05:52,667
Keep a practice journal with exact contracts and fills.

89
00:05:52,667 --> 00:05:56,530
Write why you entered, and what you knew then.

90
00:05:56,530 --> 00:06:02,155
Include failed orders, adjustments, losses and extra charges.

91
00:06:02,155 --> 00:06:06,268
Count realised and still open results together.

92
00:06:06,268 --> 00:06:10,542
A few good results prove no reliable future income.

93
00:06:10,542 --> 00:06:15,067
Practice cannot fully reproduce live fills or stress.

94
00:06:15,067 --> 00:06:19,730
Uncovered losses can exceed margin and account funds.

95
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:21,755
Check current rules.

96
00:06:21,755 --> 00:06:25,680
Personal advice needs a qualified adviser.

97
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,455
For personal recommendations, check the adviser is SEBI registered.

98
00:06:31,455 --> 00:06:33,880
This closes our course.

99
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,905
Use the separate practice questions.

100
00:06:36,905 --> 00:06:41,593
Revisit any example you cannot yet explain comfortably.

101
00:06:41,593 --> 00:06:45,984
Understanding a strategy never obliges you to trade it.
