The week commenced on a slow note with the agenda of learning about option valuation through Binomial Tree. It took a lot of time to understand the concept though Shailendra Sir, the CEO, helped me to clarify my doubts.
After going through Black Scholes method of pricing option and delta hedging, I was told to model and master option strategies on excel. With simple excel formulas, I was able to create option strategies like straddle, strangle, condor, protective call and bullspread on excel. The concepts are interesting however one needs to be very fast in creating payoffs so as to capitalize on the underlying opportunity.
The last day of the week was the Budget day and everyone around was discussing the impact on the economy, industry and different companies. If anyone of you is learning derivatives, please discuss so that we can be more confident with the subject. I would like to conclude this write by quoting my company guide, CA Vineeta Jain ‘GO SLOW BUT GO FIRM’
All The Best
