Why did my option lose value even when the market moved in my favour?

Why did my option lose value even when the market moved in my favour?

This is usually caused by Theta (time decay) or a drop in Implied Volatility (IV crush) — both of which reduce an option’s premium even when the underlying moves in your direction. F&O Universe’s Option Chain displays live Theta and IV for every contract, helping you pick strikes and expiries where these factors work in your favour rather than against you.
