Stock Futures Level 1

Short selling on delivery basis is possible in stock future scrips. This means that traders can sell stocks that they do not own, with the intention of buying them back at a later date. In stock futures, the delivery of the stocks is not required immediately, allowing traders to take advantage of falling prices by selling first and buying later. This strategy is commonly used by traders to profit from a decline in stock prices. Therefore, the statement is true.

The statement is true because lot size refers to the number of units of an underlying asset in a derivatives contract, whereas in the spot market, the lot size is typically one unit. Contract expiry refers to the predetermined date at which a derivatives contract expires, whereas in the spot market, there is no fixed expiry date as the transaction is settled immediately. These differences highlight the distinct characteristics and trading mechanisms of the spot and derivatives segments.

The given answer suggests that the risk to reward ratio for this product, from the stop loss (SL) to the first target (TGT), is 1:1. This means that for every unit of risk taken (SL), the potential reward (TGT) is also one unit. This indicates that the potential gain is equal to the potential loss, making it a balanced risk-reward ratio.

This product offers one stop loss (SL) and two take profit targets (TGT) for each call.

Nifty Future and Banknifty Future fall into the sub-category of Derivatives called Index Future. Index futures are contracts that allow investors to buy or sell a basket of stocks comprising an index, such as Nifty or Banknifty, at a predetermined price and date in the future. These contracts are settled in cash and are commonly used by investors to speculate on the overall direction of the stock market or to hedge their portfolio against market fluctuations.

All stock and index futures expire on the last Thursday of the month. This is a standard practice in the financial markets to ensure that all contracts are settled and new contracts can be initiated. By having a fixed expiration date, it allows for better planning and coordination among market participants. The last Thursday of the month is chosen as it provides a reasonable amount of time for traders to close out their positions and settle any outstanding obligations before the end of the month.

The minimum TGT/SL provided in any Stock Future calls is 4000 Rs. This means that when giving recommendations for Stock Future trades, the target (TGT) and stop loss (SL) levels will not be set below 4000 Rs. This ensures that there is a minimum potential profit or loss that traders can expect when following these calls.

This statement is false. Scrips that are tradable in futures (derivatives) do not have a particular circuit limit in spot (cash) markets. Circuit limits are set by stock exchanges to prevent extreme price volatility in individual stocks. These limits are applicable in the cash market and do not directly affect the futures market. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

The statement is false because NSE does not provide a facility to trade in half lot of stock futures if a client has less margin to trade.

According to the given information, the risk to reward strategy for Infosys Future is given as TGT-SL of 2968-3032. The lot size is the number of units in a contract. To determine the lot size, we need to calculate the difference between the TGT and SL values, which is 3032-2968=64. The lot size is typically a multiple of 100, and the closest multiple of 100 to 64 is 100. Therefore, the lot size of Infosys Future according to our risk to reward strategy is 100.

Nifty is not a type of derivative. It is a stock market index in India that represents the performance of the top 50 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). On the other hand, futures, forward, and swap are all types of derivatives. Futures are standardized contracts to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date, while forwards are similar contracts but are customized. Swaps involve the exchange of cash flows between two parties based on a predetermined formula.

The client will get a 10% return on investment (ROI) if he books all lots at the current market price (CMP). This can be calculated by finding the difference between the buying price and the CMP, which is 3 Rs. (303 - 300). Since the client has a buying position of 5 lots, the total profit would be 15 Rs. (3 * 5). Considering a 10% margin, the initial investment would be 30 Rs. (300 * 5 * 0.1). Therefore, the ROI would be 10% (15 / 30 * 100).

The given answer of 12% suggests that the company considers 12% of the total investment as the actual investment for calculating ROI and Profit/Loss in their Track Record. This means that they deduct 12% from the total investment before calculating the returns and profitability.

The correct answer is SL: 79.20, TGT: 80.80/81.60. The stop loss (SL) is set at 79.20, which means that if the price of Dish TV Futures falls to or below 79.20, the call should be exited to limit losses. The target (TGT) is set at 80.80/81.60, which means that if the price of Dish TV Futures rises to or above 80.80, the call should be exited to lock in profits.
