Understanding the Different Analysis Charts

Open Interest (OI) Chart

Shows the current open positions at each strike price. High OI at specific strikes often indicates potential support/resistance levels. These strikes tend to act as magnets, especially near expiry.

Change in Open Interest

Displays how OI has changed over your selected time period. Positive values indicate new positions being opened, while negative values suggest positions being closed. This helps confirm trend strength and market positioning.

Total Traded Volume

Shows the number of contracts traded during the selected period. High volume with increasing OI confirms strong trend continuation, while high volume with decreasing OI might signal a potential reversal.

Put-Call Ratio (PCR)

Calculates the ratio of put OI to call OI. A PCR above 1.0 indicates more puts than calls (potentially bearish sentiment), while values below 1.0 suggest bullish positioning. Extreme PCR values often signal potential reversals due to overly one-sided positioning.

Gamma × OI Chart

Multiplies gamma values by open interest to identify strike prices with significant hedging pressure. Market makers must hedge their gamma exposure, creating buying/selling pressure that can accelerate price movements near high gamma strikes.
