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.
