Abstract

This research examines the strategies, resources, and current market situation that ICICI Securities offers to individual investors in order to draw conclusions on the efficacy of their options trading approaches. Derivatives trading is becoming more popular among ordinary Indians as the process becomes more user-friendly. As a result, we must examine investor actions, risk-reward correlations, and strategic fit. Researched here are the effects on retail investors' decisions and returns of ICICI Securities' trading platforms, advisory services, and instructional resources. Straddles, spreads, covered calls, and protective puts are some of the more common trading strategies covered as well. The study's overarching goal is to identify the most effective responses to various market and risk scenarios through the use of empirical research, case studies, and a comprehensive literature analysis. Finally, it will examine strategies that small-scale Indian options market participants might employ to increase their profits while minimizing their losses.
