Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does time-based OI analysis differ from regular OI analysis?

Regular OI analysis provides end-of-day snapshots, while time-based analysis tracks OI evolution throughout the trading day, revealing intraday patterns, entry/exit timing, and institutional activity that daily data cannot show.

What time intervals should I use for different trading strategies?

Use 5-15 minute intervals for scalping and day trading, 30-60 minute intervals for swing positions, and 4-hour or full-day views for longer-term analysis and trend identification.

How often is the intraday OI data updated?

In live mode, OI data is refreshed every 2 minutes during market hours, providing near real-time insights into options flow and market sentiment changes.

Can I analyze specific periods like market open or close?

Yes, use the time range slider to focus on specific periods such as the first hour of trading (9:30-10:30 AM) or the last hour (3:00-4:00 PM) to analyze market opening and closing dynamics.

How can I use backtest mode for time-based analysis?

Enable backtest mode to analyze historical intraday OI patterns. Select any past trading day and use different time intervals to validate your strategies and understand how OI patterns played out historically.
