Hi Karthik Bro
You have mentioned VWAP as an Intraday Trend Identifier.
If Price is above VWAP – Trending Higher
If Price is below VWAP – Down trending
But you mentioned if some one intend to short the stock, short the stock at a higher price than VWAP, similarly if intend to long, long the stock at a Lower price than VWAP.

Can you just explain the contradictory.

Regards
Nishad

Comment on Investment Options in NPS by Pavan

Thank you team for this education, however I am not quite clear on Equity allocation for active choice. As per your table, for age 60 and above, the equity allocation is 50%. Does that mean that once we start retirement at age 60, the annuity option has 50% equity in the portfolio?

Hi Karthik,

I hope you are well at the time of writing this comment. I wanted to know that are there any other chapters coming up in the series? Also, can you create a pdf file too like the other modules have? I personally really like this initiative that zerodha has taken to increase the financial awareness through your varsity program. Thank you so much to you and the team who is making such a quality content for all of us. Excited to next chapter in the series!

In reply to Rahul.

Rahul, thanks for the kind words, glad you liked the content useful on Varsity 🙂

Upon expiry, the index value or the settlement price of the index is taken into consideration and the P&L is determined. Have tried to explain it here – https://youtu.be/Llp4xW2GI4s?si=xDB3NCggLVDGsJNw do let me know if this helps. Thanks.

Comment on Options M2M and P&L calculation by Rahul

Dear Karthik,

First of all, thank you so much for your valuable contributions. Without your modules, I would certainly feel lost in the world of trading.

I have a question regarding the calculation of P&L for index options when held until expiry, as I noticed that there isn’t much information on this topic. We know that index options are cash settled, but I’m curious about how this process works when the options are held until expiry.

Specifically, how do we determine the P&L for index options at expiry? Unlike stocks, which have a settlement price at expiry, how do we calculate P&L for index options?

For example, if a long call option expires in-the-money (ITM), will I always be profitable? How is the exact value calculated? Is it possible for my long call option, which expires ITM, to still incur a loss? I would appreciate it if you could clarify this with some examples.

Additionally, I would like to understand the same concept for long put options.

Thank you very much for your help.
