Trending open interest for indices, commodities and stocks
Trending OI tracks how open interest migrates across strikes through the session for NSE indices, MCX commodities and F&O stocks — where call and put OI is building up versus unwinding, a view of net changes in outstanding contracts.
The flow view compares CE versus PE open interest change side by side, and the OI-volume-direction ratio condenses OI change, volume change and underlying move into one weighted score to summarise the selected inputs rather than assign a probability of success.
Choose the underlying, expiry and observation interval, then compare CE and PE changes with price and IV. OI increases and decreases do not identify writers, buyers or participant size. A changing weighted score can reflect several inputs at once; use available replay to review the sequence before interpreting direction.

Flow Signals: How Traders Can Interpret the Chart
Use the Flow Signals tab to read who is adding pressure: puts (PE) or calls (CE), and whether price confirms it.
- Net OI Flow (green positive bars): PE flow is stronger than CE flow. This often supports a bullish intraday bias when price momentum is also positive.
- Net OI Flow (orange/negative bars): CE flow is stronger than PE flow. This often supports a bearish intraday bias when price momentum is also negative.
- PE Δ vs CE Δ lines: the stronger line shows where fresh positioning is building faster. Divergence here is often an early warning before spot trend changes.
- Price Momentum % line: treat this as confirmation. Flow without momentum can be noise; momentum with aligned flow is usually higher quality.
Practical interpretation framework
- Wait for at least 2 to 3 consecutive bars in the same net-flow direction.
- Confirm with Price Momentum % in the same direction.
- Cross-check with nearby support/resistance and PCR regime for context.
- Avoid entries when flow flips every bar (choppy conditions); reduce size or wait for cleaner setup.
