Data Base Trading Part -2 #NSE #BSE #Optionchain

To study an option chain, focus on the current market price, displayed in the centre. Analyse the built-up data to understand market direction based on recent changes in open interest and price. ITM call options are typically highlighted in yellow, making it easier to distinguish them from other options.

Nifty option chain is considered to be the best advance warning system of sharp moves or break outs in the index.

So, if you see an aggressive increase in open interest in puts, it is most likely being led by the institutions who are selling puts and it hints at a support level below which the market is unlikely to fall. The reverse interpretation holds in case of call options OI movement. You can position your trades accordingly.
