Description

A collar combines a protective put with a covered call. You own NIFTY at ₹25,800, buy a ₹25,500 Put for ₹45, and sell a ₹26,100 Call for ₹60, receiving ₹15 net credit. This limits both upside and downside

Example

If NIFTY is at ₹25,800, set up: Long Stock + Buy OTM Put + Sell OTM Call.
