About

NIFTY 50 open-interest walls & option price calculator

What this site shows

  • OI walls by strike. A mirrored bar chart of open interest at each strike — puts on the left, calls on the right — with the NIFTY spot level drawn across it. Large bars are the strikes where the most option positions sit, often described as support and resistance "walls".
  • Session replay. Step or play through the trading day and watch the walls build, shift and unwind, with spot moving against them. Choose 30, 15 or 5-minute steps, and how many strikes either side of spot to show.
  • Max pain, live through the day. The strike at which option writers would lose least is drawn directly on the chart and traced across the timeline, so you can see it drift as positions change — not just its closing value.
  • Full-day heatmap. Time across, strikes down, brightness showing where open interest is concentrated at every moment of the session, with the spot and max-pain paths overlaid.
  • Buildup classification. Hover any bar for open interest, its change since the open and since the previous step, the premium, and whether that strike looks like long buildup, short buildup, long unwinding or short covering.
  • Option price calculator. Pick a strike and option type, then a number of hours ahead, and get two independent estimates side by side: a theoretical projection across a range of spot moves, and an empirical view of what comparable options actually did over past sessions. They often disagree — that gap is the useful part.

How to read the calculator

  • An option's value after a few hours is driven far more by where spot goes than by time passing. The scenario table therefore varies spot and shows the unchanged-spot row separately — that row alone is the pure time-decay case.
  • The theoretical estimate assumes volatility stays where it is now. Real volatility moves, and usually moves most exactly when it matters, so treat it as a sketch of shape rather than a forecast of price.
  • The empirical panel reports how many past sessions it matched. When that number is small, it is an illustration, not a probability.
