Option Trading with Option chainIf 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.

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

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.
