## 💰 P&L Formula Quick Math

```
ONE OPTION CONTRACT = 100 shares

Example:
Entry: ₹50
Exit: ₹75
Profit per contract: ₹(75-50) = ₹25
Total profit: ₹25 × 100 = ₹2,500

P&L % = (Profit / Entry Price) × 100
      = (25 / 50) × 100
      = 50% profit
```

## 🎯 Exit Rules (When to Close)

```
CLOSE WHEN:

1. ✓ TARGET HIT (80-90% of expected)
   → Take profit immediately
   → Don't wait for more

2. ✓ STOP LOSS HIT (30% below entry)
   → Exit immediately
   → Don't hope for recovery

3. ✓ TIME DECAY (1-2 days to expiry)
   → Premium drops suddenly
   → Even if not at loss

4. ✓ WRONG SIGNAL (Market moves opposite)
   → Exit at smaller loss
   → Don't average down

5. ✓ NEWS EVENT (Earnings announced)
   → Take profit or loss
   → Don't hold through
```
