How to read this chart
Three things to check before you trade off the numbers.
How the strike rolls
Each point combines the call and put premiums at the strike nearest spot. When spot moves, the selected ATM strike can change. This is a rolling price series, not the P&L of a fixed straddle position.
Premium and reference lines
Read straddle premium and its VWAP on the left axis. Spot, futures and futures VWAP use the right axis. Select a legend label to show or hide that line.
Replay and history
Choose a session ending date and a one-, three- or seven-session window. Use play, pause or the timeline to inspect earlier snapshots. Session history shows all available rows; replay history follows the selected time.
About the GOLDM Rolling ATM Straddle Chart
The GOLDM rolling straddle chart follows the current at-the-money strike on MCX Gold Mini. As spot moves, the chart re-centres on the new ATM call and put, so the line is the price of at-the-money movement through the whole session instead of the fate of one fixed strike.
The page adds the session VWAP, the futures price and futures VWAP, spot on a second axis, and metrics for the ATM strike, call and put premium, premium as a percentage of spot, premium range and volume PCR. Choose 1, 3 or 7 sessions, replay the session, and open the history tables to inspect every snapshot and a strike-by-strike lens with VWAP streaks.

Frequently asked questions
What is a rolling ATM straddle chart?
It plots the combined price of the at-the-money call and put and re-selects the ATM strike as spot moves, so every point is the straddle that was at the money at that moment.
How is a rolling straddle different from a fixed-strike straddle?
A fixed-strike chart carries directional exposure once spot drifts away from the strike. A rolling chart behaves more like a pure measure of decay and volatility, with small steps when the strike changes.
How do I use VWAP on the rolling straddle?
VWAP is the volume-weighted average of the premium over the session. Premium persistently below it indicates decay is dominating; premium above it indicates the options are being bid.
Why does the straddle premium fall during the day?
Time decay removes premium from both legs, most quickly for at-the-money options near expiry. If spot stays near the strike and implied volatility does not rise, the line trends down.
Can I compare several sessions?
Yes. Choose 1, 3 or 7 sessions to see the premium across consecutive days, and replay any session to step through the snapshots.
Premiums are built from last traded prices, which can differ from executable quotes, and exclude brokerage, taxes and slippage. The page describes market data and is not investment advice.
