20 January 2010 What do you mean by Roll Over in Derivatives market. Pleaze clear in detail by giving example.

Also tell me, in case of options, seller has to deposit entire amount of contract size or margin money concept is also available here as in case of futures.

27 January 2010 rollover is nothing but selling the current expiry contract and simultaneously buying the next epiry contract. You are basically did not change your view about the market direction and wanted to wait before you come out of the transation.

In option, seller need not deposit the entire money. he should deposit only the margin money. the contract will be marked to market on a daily basis and the seller should also pay the margin calls as well.
