What is Options Trading? — Meaning, Definition & Example
Definition
Options are derivative contracts that give the buyer the right (but not obligation) to buy (Call) or sell (Put) an underlying asset at a specified price before/on expiry. Option buyer pays a premium; seller receives it. India is the world's largest options market by volume.
Buying a Nifty 22,000 Call option for ₹200 premium (1 lot = 50 units, cost ₹10,000). If Nifty expires at 22,500, profit = (500-200) × 50 = ₹15,000.
