Open Interest & Option Chain Analysis Topic: Open Interest & Option Chain Analysis 1: What is Open Interest (OI)? Simple Meaning: Open Interest means the total number of active option or futures contracts in the market that haven’t been closed yet. Easy Example: If you and your friend enter into a new option trade, the open interest is 1. If someone else joins with a new trade, it becomes 2. But if you close your trade, it becomes 1 again. What It Tells You: If OI is increasing, more people are joining the market. If OI is decreasing, traders are exiting their trades. Combine OI with Price Movement: Price going up + OI going up = New buying → Bullish Price going down + OI going up = New selling → Bearish Price going up + OI going down = Traders exiting shorts → Short covering Price going down + OI going down = Traders exiting longs → Profit booking 2: What is an Option Chain? Simple Meaning: Option Chain is a table that shows all the call and put options for a stock at different strike prices. What You’ll See in an Option Chain: Strike Price: The price you agree to buy/sell. Calls (CE): Right to buy. Puts (PE): Right to sell. Open Interest (OI): How many contracts are active. Volume: How many were traded today. LTP: Latest price of that option. 3: How to Read Option Chain Like a Pro 1. Spot the Support Levels: Look for the highest OI on the put (PE) side → Big money sees this as support. 2. Spot the Resistance Levels: Look for the highest OI on the call (CE) side → Traders think price won't go above this. 3. Track Market Mood: If more puts are being written (PE OI going up) → Traders are bullish. If more calls are being written (CE OI going up) → Traders are bearish. 4. PCR (Put Call Ratio): PCR > 1 → More puts than calls = Bullish PCR < 1 → More calls than puts = Bearish

MACD Trading part 2MACD full form: Moving Average Convergence Divergence and is one of the most widely used momentum indicators in technical analysis. Gerald Appel was the creator of this indicator at the end of the 1970s. By computing the distinction between two time period intervals, which are a compilation of historical time series, this indicator is used to define momentum and its directional resilience. MACD uses moving averages of two distinct time intervals (most commonly historical closing prices of securities), and a momentum oscillator line is calculated by deducting the two moving averages, which is also known as 'divergence.'
