What you should do?

Do not get enthusiastic and start trading now. All options in any contract behave the same way. Whether it is Nifty 50 Nifty Next 50 or Bank Nifty derivatives contracts.
Watch the volume and then decide. If the volume in the Nifty Next 50 derivatives is low – it makes the trading difficult. Low volume creates slips between the prices. You will see LTP as 20 and when you will buy the options you may get it for 22. That’s a 10% difference.
Why does this happen? Because of the low volume of any contract, the gap between the Ask and Bid prices is wider. Ideally when the volume is good the Ask and Bid do not differ more than 1% even less. Nifty and
Banknifty are still the most traded options and futures contracts. The rest are yet to catch up. When the results are the same why take extra risk?
So wait, watch and then trade.
