 Option Chain Analysis
• Support and resistance levels can be identified from the option chain by analyzing the key strikes with
the highest open Interest.
• A high OI buildup in these strikes signifies that the option sellers of these strikes are expecting the stock
price to expire below or above for call writers and put writers respectively.
• As the stock price approaches near these strikes with high OI buildup, the sellers of the option contract
try to defend their strikes and thus act as support/resistance.
• As the stock prices move, the Open Interest changes in these strikes. Addition of further OI signifies that
the support /resistance is intact. On the other hand, unwinding of positions in a particular strike
signifies that the market participants are expecting the stock price to breach the respective strike price
and hence shift their position to a higher/ lower strike in case of call writing/ put writing respectively.

 Identifying Demand Zone

• The demand zone signifies the price levels or the price zone in a particular stock where higher demand is
witnessed in the stock.
• This zone shows rejection of price as bears try to push the stock prices further down but usually face
rejection as the prices witness a pullback due to higher demand in this zone.
• This zone can be safely considered as crucial support for a stock. However, breaching this zone usually
leads to further strengthening of the bears and prices likely keep falling further.

 Identifying Supply Zone

• The supply zone signifies the price levels or the price zone in a particular stock where higher supply is
witnessed in the stock.
• This zone usually shows rejection of price as bulls try to push the stock prices further up but usually face
rejection as the prices witness retracement due to higher supply in this zone.
• This zone can be safely considered as crucial resistance for a stock. However, breaching this zone usually
leads to further strengthening of the bulls and prices likely keep rising further.

 How to select the strikes?
▪ Selecting the strike price is based on the analysis of option chain and identifying the demand zone.
▪ After Option chain analysis and identifying the demand zone, we select the strike closest to the
demand zone level.
▪ For example, if the demand zone is 402-404 and option chain suggests 400 as the PE option strike
with the highest OI buildup, we will select 400 as the strike for Short put.
▪ In case of Bull Put spread, we will sell 400 PE and buy 370/380 PE. The strike to buy for hedge would
depend on receiving close to ₹5000 or 10% of Margin in net premium from the Credit spread.
▪ The use of spreads reduces our margin requirement as well as hedges our position from Overnight
risk of carrying the position.

 Exit Criteria
Profit Booking
The profit from the strategy exceeds 70% decay in net premium.
Example – The net premium received from a bull put spread = 7000 ; (10-3)*1000
400 PE = 10
370 PE = 3
Lot size = 1000
In this scenario, when profit is greater than ₹4900 or (7000*70%), one may exit.
In order to avoid the obligation of higher margin requirements, one may exit from the strategy
on the first day of the last week of expiry.

Risk Management Exit from the position only if the price violates the demand
zone and 2 hourly candle close is above the demand zone.

 How to select the strikes?
▪ Selecting the strike price is based on the analysis of option chain and identifying the supply zone.
▪ After Option chain analysis and identifying the supply zone, we select the strike closest to the supply
zone level.
▪ For example, if the supply zone is 396-398 and option chain suggests 400 as the CE option strike with
the highest OI buildup, we will select 400 as the strike for Short call.
▪ In case of Bear Call spread, we will sell 400 CE and buy 420/430 CE. The strike to buy for hedge
would depend on receiving close to ₹5000 or 10% of Net margin in net premium from the Credit
spread.
▪ The use of spreads reduces our margin requirement as well as hedges our position from Overnight
risk of carrying the position.
