Call vs Put Options Explained for Beginners

A call option gives the right to buy Nifty at a strike; it profits when the index rises. A put gives the right to sell; it profits when the index falls. Buying either has limited loss (premium) and unlimited/large gain. Selling has limited gain (premium) and large/unlimited loss unless defined with a spread. Beginners should start with buying small defined-risk positions, never naked sells.

The AI model only ever recommends defined-risk structures (spreads) for retail, never naked options. Understand Delta (direction), Theta (decay), and IV (cost) before any trade. Paper-trade the framework for months before risking capital. Education first, ego never.
