Introduction
Options are most often regarded as insurance against the price movements in the
underlying stock or an index. It is a right to exercise the holders desire to buy
(CALL) or sell (PUT). These options are priced based on the Holy Grail kind of
formulae called Black-Scholes model. This logic behind the formulae is based on
current underlying asset price, intrinsic value, time for expiry, volatility, interest
rates and dividend, if any, paid. As the expiry date nears, the option premium
price tends to go down. However such fall happens only at the fag end of the
option period. In between periods, one can watch an interesting fact about the
option premium price. It tends to move along with the value of the underlying
asset. But the spread between the value of underlying assets and the option
premium is wide enough to make huge profit. Investors can benefit from this
spread on the direction of the underlying. In this paper, we are going to discuss
various strategies that can be used to gain this spread.

If anticipating strong bull run in the market for near future, say a week, traders cansafely follow a strategy of buying CALL option and holding it for one or two days.However, this strategy works only when the market have high volatility. It involvesbuying at LTP at the close of the trading and selling it at high price the followingtrading day or in the 2nd trading days high price.
Again a question of guessing the days high price is a big deal for a trader. However,the trader should have an expected rate of return. Evidence from CALL option onNIFTY in the past 90 days shows this strategy returning 10% and 11% per day onaverage (refer the above table).

Conclusion
Overall all the above strategies can be blindly used in trading of options based on
the traders instinct on the market levels. If anyone could guess these levels, they can
be a successful trader. Having said that, such precise prediction is unlikely. But such
trades can earn a decent return if executed with strict trading disciplines. We would
like to remind that this strategy is better when used on market direction (on market
indices) rather than on stock options. In stock options, the dynamics in the price
movement is entirely based on two risks market risk (both global and its industry)
and business risk. Combining these two risks to calculate the potential upside or
downward movements in stock price is highly impossible in short run. Most of the
time, it may turn our prediction down. Even remote news that is no way connected
with the underlying stock may affect its price movements. So it is better to bid on the
overall market direction with the proper mix of PUT and CALL on index might earn
us a good return like illustrated in this paper.
