Risks in Options Trading

Time decay eats premium if direction isn’t quick.

Volatility crush reduces premium post-events (like RBI policy).

Unlimited risk for sellers if market moves sharply.

Liquidity issues in some stock options.

Options Trading Psychology

Requires discipline & patience—most beginners lose by overtrading.

Emotions like fear of missing out (FOMO) or greed destroy capital.

Successful option traders often specialize in 1–2 instruments (e.g., Bank Nifty weekly options).

Role of Retail vs Institutional Traders

Retail traders mostly buy options (lottery-ticket approach).

Institutions & HNIs dominate selling (because they can hold margins).

Data shows: retail traders lose premium, institutions earn it—but smart retail traders can also make money by following disciplined strategies.
