I trade in a similar style as you.How do you use options chains.What data you find most interesting?i mostly look at IV for reversal confirmation and OI addition for continuation.for ex today morning OI showed little addition on put side and IV were also not high for calls so bullish move was big suspect.
All markets are rigged ....Job of regulator is not to look after interests of retail traders....their job is smooth running of market.As far as market is moving their job is done....they panic only when market freezes.So trade accordingly.
i mostly look at in the money options.I think out of money is used heavily for hedging purpose by Fii and Dii and by retail for taking big bets.OI data is telling a monthly range of 8000-7500 or 8200-7700.
yea sure,
For reversal trade i look at IV of in the money call and put options.IV tells how an option is 'priced'.Higher IV for in the money calls than puts is bullish and higher IV for in the money puts than calls is bearish.A sudden change in this dynamic signals an impending reversal of trend.It is very reliable indicator as per my experience.
For trend continuation i look for good addition in OI for in the money puts in case of bull trend and good OI addition for in the money calls in case of bear trend.Higher addition means stronger the move.
Above is how i use options chains .Would like to know how others view/use option chain data.
