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

Advance Institutions Option Trading - Lecture 3Options trading might feel like gambling on a single trade, but informed decisions make it fundamentally different. Reckless trading without a plan can resemble gambling but is not the proper way to trade. With discipline and skill, options trading stands apart from luck-based activities. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. Certain requirements must be met to trade options. Before engaging in the purchase or sale of options, investors should understand the nature of and extent of their rights and obligations and be aware of the risks involved in investing with options.

Advance Institutions Option Trading - Lecture 4If you're looking for a simple options trading definition, it goes something like this: Options trading gives you the right or obligation to buy or sell a specific security on or by a specific date at a specific price. An option is a contract that's linked to an underlying asset, such as a stock or another security. Options trading also involves two parties: the holder (buyer) and the writer (sometimes called the seller). Holders are investors who purchase contracts, while writers create them. The holder pays the writer a premium for the right to sell or buy a stock by a certain date.

The Day I Stopped Chasing Every Move, My Trading Changed!Hello Traders! Today I want to share something personal — a moment that quietly transformed my trading journey. I used to run after every candle, every small breakout, thinking I would miss the move if I didn’t jump in. But all it gave me was stress, overtrading, and random results. The day I stopped chasing every move, my trades became calmer and more profitable. Why We Chase Every Move FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): We feel the market will move big without us. Doubt in Own Strategy: We don’t trust our setup, so we jump into everything. Restlessness: Sitting idle feels like wasting time. Emotional Urge: We want quick action instead of waiting for perfect trades. How Chasing Hurts Our Trading Missed Good Setups: We get stuck in average trades and ignore high-quality ones. Inconsistent Results: Wins and losses feel random. Mental Fatigue: Watching every tick tires the mind. No Learning Time: Back-to-back trades leave no time for review or learning. What Changed When I Stopped Chasing I Waited More: Took fewer but better trades. I Became Selective: Only entered when setup matched my plan. I Felt Peaceful: Trading didn’t feel like a race anymore. I Gained Confidence: Fewer mistakes built stronger belief in my system. Rahul’s Tip If you find yourself getting tempted by every candle movement — pause. Ask yourself, “Am I trading my setup or just chasing action?” Wait for your edge. The calmest trader often wins the longest game. Conclusion Chasing every move looks exciting, but it silently kills your progress. Once you stop doing that, trading becomes simple, focused, and powerful. Thanks for reading!
