Basics of Options Trading FAQs

What is the process for trading options ?

Broking firms that are members of NSE or BSE can trade options contracts. Many trading members now offer online and mobile trading platforms for trading in the options market. To open an account at one of these broking firms, you will need to complete the necessary paperwork such as KYC and application signup. You should ensure that your broking company allows you to trade in options. There are some firms that don't allow trading in options or only allow certain types of options trading, such as equity options and not currency options.

To log in to the web, mobile, and online platforms, you will receive a client ID and password. To transfer funds, you will need to have a margin balance and a bank account linked to your trading account. A demat account will be opened by the firm.
