Thursday being Nifty expiry lot of traders who write near to money Options hoping to profit from Options expiring worthless were in for a rude Shock as they saw their accounts see drawdowns of over 5% in a single day
Market tanked suddenly at 1:26pm and premium of ATM Put Options went up almost 10 times in a matter of seconds without giving traders opportunity to square off
