The interval between strikes may go up to 100 points, affecting trading strategies.
Higher lot value size is expected, with derivative contracts increasing from 15 to 20 lakhs and possibly to 30 lakhs later.

Traders selling MM products and buying OTM products just before expiry may face challenges due to higher margins.
Upfront option premiums will be collected, requiring traders to pay higher premiums before trading.
The removal of expiry day calendar spread benefits will affect those taking advantage of these spreads.

Transcripts
good morning everyone all of you have
been wondering what is going to be done
based on the se's consultation paper on
the derivatives trading or the fno
market there have been lot of queries
which came in last night and I thought
what are the things which needed to be
looked at in the next one month because
the Seb has given some time uh to have a
discussion in a paper on the derivative
trading the key things which has been
highlighted one one weekly option
contract per exchange so that means we
will be having only uh one index in the
NSE and one more index in BSC so there
won't be any further indices which will
get added So currently we have FY Bank
Nifty Nifty and almost the midcap Nifty
every other day we have an indices
getting expired in a weekly expiry which
is not going to be the case maybe I
think if this is going to be coming into
effect we might see only back Nifty
might be the one which might be having a
weekly expiry so let's see how it is
going to be going out uh the second
point is a fewer and spaced out strikes
yeah this is going to be an interesting
one basically they wanted the interval
between two strikes to be uh for the
first 4% it'll be around 50 points and
then for the next 4% the interval can
say like and it can go up to 100 points
so let's see whether this is going to be
working out or not higher lot value size
yeah this is another one widely expected
and most importantly they're going to be
increasing the derivative contracts from
15 to 20 lakhs and maybe after 6 month
they are also planning to raise it to 20
to 30 lakhs this is going to be a death
Nell for many uh traders who are feeling
that with a low uh investment strategies
I can go around and play in the fno
derivatives Market no this will be a
serious Dent uh fourth point is going to
be the higher margin on expiry and day
before so straightforward they are
saying there is going to be higher
margins to be applied on every expiry
day and the day before expiry which is
again people who wanted to sell mm
products and people who wanted to take
advantage of buying otm products just
before the expiry yes there is going to
be a problem upfront option premium that
again a straightforward one collecting
the option premiums on The Upfront bases
so get ready for both it's going to be
an area wherein you needed to start
preparing to pay a higher premium just
before you even trade uh the last but
not the least removing the expiry day
calendar spread benefits so many who
have been doing the calendar spread
benefit just on the expiry day it's
going to be in one wherein they just
wanted to cut it down completely so
margin benefit for the calendar spread
positions would not be available again
remember all these things were one on
paper at this juncture and it has not
been confirmed so we may needed to wait
and watch whether they are going to be
doing this or whether this is going to
be getting implemented all of it needed
to be checked and we needed to wait
because it's a consultation paper people
have to be giving their views and we do
not know whether everything will get
implemented or few of the points will
get implemented but whatever it is as a
retail Trader and the Traders Community
you guys get prepared things have
happened in the past things are going to
be happening now things will happen in
the future but nothing is going to be
stopping yes there will be few
regulations which will be coming in few
restrictions which will be coming in
it's all about adapting to the situation
if Traders couldn't adapt then I don't
think you will be able to move forward
but prepare yourself brace yourself
thank you so much
