Inspecting the truthfulness and exactness
Expiry or end of valans is when traders generally roll over. If traders are rising they do roll over their purchasing status in next F& o segment and they are falling they do rollover their selling position in next settlements. Traders can roll over in F & O segment stocks and not in any other segments. Every F & O segment expires on last Thursday of the month and in case it is a holiday the day before it that is Wednesday is fixed for it.
Derivative segments of trading are traded by traders who take more risks with larger hopes. F & O needs more funds so gain and loss may be abundant in comparison to delivery based trading. Also, a trader needs to abide by certain rules and regulations in f& o segment. Some traders without knowing the whereabouts of F & o trading in Indian share market enter F & o segment.
