How PNBHOUSING futures work
A PNBHOUSING futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell 650 PNBHOUSING shares at a set price on a future date. You don't pay the full contract value — only a margin (the exchange's VaR + ELM), which is what gives futures their leverage. Work out the exact figure with the equity margin calculator.
Two ideas matter most: basis (futures minus spot, which converges to zero by expiry) and rollover (moving a position to the next series as expiry nears — heavy rollover with rising OI signals continued interest). Positions are marked-to-market daily, so profit and loss settle into your account each session.
Futures vs options on PNBHOUSING
Futures give linear, leveraged exposure with unlimited profit and loss; options let you define risk (a buyer's loss is capped at the premium) and express views on volatility.
