The Options Chain tool is implemented on FYERS Web! This was supposed to be done around the time when it was introduced on the app but It took us a little extra while to roll out this feature as some of our web developers were down with Covid. We thank & appreciate you for your patience.

Our Options Chain tool has the following features:

• You can access the Options Chain of any F&O symbol from the 'Right-Click Menu'. 
• Select up to 30 strike prices above & below the LTP of the underlying symbol. 
• You can choose to view/hide Strikes with Zero Volume & Open Interest (OI). 
• View the underlying symbol's chart by clicking on the Chart Icon beside the symbol on the Options chain as shown below. 
• You can BUY & SELL any options contract directly without adding them to your watchlist. 
• You can also open the options contract chart by clicking on the chart icon. 
• You can also unselect the volumes column (Be mindful of liquidity).

We hope you like this Options Chain. We're working on launching other options-related features soon. Stay tuned for more updates from us 👍

As you must know by now, as per SEBI's policies, intraday leverage will be removed completely by 1st September 2021. If you're a trader with less capital that mainly traded futures using margins provided by the broker and you're wondering how to cope with the upcoming change, here's a list of futures contracts on NSE, MCX that require less than 1 lac in initial margins (As per the latest near-month expiries):
 

Notice that all the above futures contracts are of currencies & commodities. Currencies have become more volatile during the pandemic and the low margin requirements certainly help take advantage of the price movements of INR and cross-currency pairs. Among the commodities that are mentioned, GoldM, Natural Gas, SilverM are amongst the most traded scrips by our clients. MCX index derivatives are easier to trade as they represent baskets of commodities (inherently diversified), cash-settled, and have relatively low margin requirements. There isn't much awareness about these indices, so if you want to learn more, watch our videos on BULLDEX & METLDEX. The newly introduced FINNIFTY futures contracts are also an exciting proposition for less capitalized futures traders in 2021 although it requires approximately 1.27 lacs. However, it is much lower than BankNifty and Nifty both of which need above 1.6 lac margins per lot. Trading stock futures is far fetched as the margin requirements are out of the league for most retail clients.

If you think the upfront margin collections are going to relegate you from futures trading altogether, you can perhaps consider trading ITM options (Buying). If this sounds new to you, read this answer. In short, ITM options have intrinsic value and require lower margins as compared to futures. If you are uncomfortable with options trading due to time decay (Theta), buying ITM is the closest it comes to futures because the delta is higher (The deeper ITM options are better because they move in line with the underlying prices, but you'll need to watch out for liquidity). 

Note: We currently do provide intraday leverage as mentioned in our margin calculators. This is just a discussion point. The upfront margin collection is being implemented in a phased manner and intraday leverage will be completely eradicated in F&O by 1st September 2021.

FINNIFTY F&O had a good start on Day 1. While NSE has waived off transaction charges for the index contracts for 6 months, we've waived off brokerage charges until Feb End. It's a nice kick-off but the first 3 months will be crucial to garnering sustainable volumes. I hope it results in the much-needed diversification in F&O volumes on NSE. Currently, BankNifty enjoys the lion's share. 
 

Investing in gold is in high demand & has fortunately given positive returns in the long-term. Do you think it is better to invest in Gold ETFs OR Companies that have designed & operate business models to cater to the demand for gold? Here's a chart to showcase the 5-year returns - https://charts.fyers.in/c5ba8cf303c86d8a6479297d12384a94/4e7977fe772a63abc819642e6b821a18.png

What's your pick?

NSE has announced the introduction of trading in Quarterly Options contracts on the Nifty Bank Index. To encourage active participation they've decided to waive off transaction charges on the trades done in Quarterly Options contracts on the Nifty Bank Index in the Future & Options segment of the Exchange from October 30, 2020, till March 31, 2021. Circular Ref. No: 12/2020

It'll mostly lead to the further consolidation of options trading volumes on Bank Nifty. Other indices are on the backburner?
