This guide covers placing an options trade on Kite for the first time. Options are contracts that give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying asset at a specified price (the strike) on or before the expiry date. On the NSE, all equity index and stock options are European-style, meaning they can only be exercised at expiry, not before.
