It is the date on which your contract will become null and void. On or before the contract&#8217;s expiration date, you may either square off your position, exercise your options, or let it lapse worthless. The expiry date in options trading is also a deciding factor in determining the premium. Let&#8217;s understand this term in the context of the NSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_NSE\"><\/span><strong>What is NSE?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a style=\"color:#deb656;\" href=\"https:\/\/shoonya.com\/blog\/bse-and-nse-a-guide-for-trading\/\">National Stock Exchange<\/a>, or NSE, is one of the world&#8217;s leading exchanges that was established in 1992. It is also the first to offer a screen-based trading platform. The NSE&#8217;s flagship index is the S&amp;P CNX Nifty, also known as the Nifty 50. It consists of 50 companies from 12 different industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_NSE_options_expiry_time\"><\/span><strong>What is the NSE option&#8217;s expiry time?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Stock Options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSE provides options derivatives for three months. Depending on the price movement of the underlying stocks, you may exercise your execution right or let the contract lapse on expiration. The NSE standa rdises option variables in terms of pricing and expiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NSE&#8217;s stock options contracts are further classified into- far-month, next-month, and near-month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Index Options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are available with monthly and weekly expirations. Options with monthly expirations typically expire on the last Thursday of each month. It also has contracts that are classified as far-month, next-month, and near-month, similar to stock options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Index options&#8217; weekly expiration varies with the indices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Index<\/td><td>Expiry<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nifty 50<\/td><td>Every Thursday&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bank Nifty<\/td><td>Every Thursday&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Finnifty<\/td><td>Every Tuesday&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nifty Midcap 150<\/td><td>Every Tuesday&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_when_Options_expire\"><\/span><strong>What happens when Options expire?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are only two outcomes on the expiry which decide the payoff. These are\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The underlying asset price exceeds the strike price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The underlying asset&#8217;s price trades below the strike price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Illustrative_Examples\"><\/span><strong>Illustrative Examples<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To grasp the option expiry process, let&#8217;s delve into an example. Suppose a trader acquires a call option on ABC Ltd. with a strike price of \u20b91,000. As the expiry day arrives, the closing price of ABC Ltd. stands at \u20b91,050. This results in a positive final settlement value of \u20b950 (\u20b91,050 &#8211; \u20b91,000), which the option buyer gains from the option seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Key_Considerations_in_Options_Expiry\"><\/span><strong>Other Key Considerations in Options Expiry<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limited Lifespan:<\/strong> Options contracts possess a finite lifespan and expire on a predetermined date and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weekly and Monthly Expiry:<\/strong> While weekly options expire on the last Thursday of the week, monthly options expire on the last Thursday of each month, adjusted for trading holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Settlement Price:<\/strong> The closing price of the underlying asset on the expiry day determines the settlement price, impacting the final settlement value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Squaring Off Options:<\/strong> Traders can exit positions before expiry by taking opposing positions to their existing open positions.<strong>Risk Awareness:<\/strong> Fully understanding the intricacies and risks of options trading is crucial before venturing into this domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_buysell_options_in_the_pre-market_trading_session\"><\/span><strong>Can I buy\/sell options in the pre-market trading session?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSE&#8217;s pre-market trading session lasts 15 minutes, from 9:00 am to 9:15 am, just before the stock market opens. However, only equity cash trading is permitted during this session. If you want to trade options at odd hours, you can use the After Market Order (AMO) facility, which allows you to <a style=\"color:#deb656;\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/aw8e9m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purchase options contracts<\/a> after the market closure, that is, 3:45 pm to 8:57 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span><strong>Final Words<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the concept of contract expiry is critical because it tells you how much money you can make when the contract expires. The expiry date is also crucial in determining the time value of the contract. As this date nears, the likelihood of the security&#8217;s trading price intersecting the strike price rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_Options_Expiry\"><\/span><strong>FAQs| Options Expiry<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698832153519\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What&#8217;s the difference between options expiry and options expiration?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both terms are synonymous, referring to the date when an options contract terminates.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698832172540\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the Greeks in options trading?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Greeks are mathematical metrics like Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, and Rho used to analyse options pricing.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698832191406\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I square off options before expiry?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, options can be squared off before expiry by establishing a contrary position to your existing one.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698832204350\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I hold options till expiry?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can hold options till expiry to exercise them or let them expire.
