By the end of this thread, you'll learn 7 features with uses:

1. Option Chain (Advanced) features
2. Total PE - CE OI
3. Options Intraday OI Breakup
4. Cumulative OI change
5. Backtesting historical Data
6. Data in different intervals
7. Straddle/Strangle Charts

Let's go ↓
1. Option Chain (Advanced):

Uses:

• Understand the options chain better
• Know the correct market direction and
• Sell the right options with a higher probability of success.

Open Option Chain on Icharts and then click on:

• Trend
• Buildup
• Vwap

Like this:
2. Total PE - CE OI

Most popular and powerful feature, even used by experts like @nitinmurarkasmc heavily.

Observe the intraday Change in OI difference and align your trades with where writing is happening.

Can check it only for nearer strikes, or all strikes.

Here's how:
3. Option OI stats

Shows you Total OI and Change in OI in bar chart format.

Can segregate from Near Atm strikes to all strikes.

Historical Data of past expiries is also available to make backtesting easier.
4. Options snapshot

Option Chain with charts and Price and Open Interest showing in them.

Can look where open interest changes are happening.

Know quickly about multiple strikes Oi behaviors.
5. Options Intraday OI Breakup

Can see the individual data of any strike at any interval you want as per your liking.

I have seen a few scalper traders recommending this to their followers.
6. Cumulative OI change

Compare the total Open interest of the whole option chain amongst Calls and Puts.

Can also see this only for the near ATM strikes.

Can check historical data as well.
7. Backtesting historical Data

The most powerful feature of Icharts is the ability to backtest historical options data with ease.

Nearly all features have this feature enabled in them.

For eg, on Gap days can see how premiums behaved on the gap side and be prepared next time.
8. Data in different time intervals

Another awesome feature of Icharts is the ability to see any data in any time interval as we see fit.

For eg 3 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, etc all can be seen separately.
9. Strangle/Straddle Charts

Most of the people started using Icharts as they were offering strangle/straddle charts.

This is particularly useful for traders wanting to sell straddles when they are decaying (falling in premiums).

Same for strangles.

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

Some bats & pangolins carry viruses related with SARS-CoV-2, found in SE Asia and in Yunnan, & the pangolins carrying SARS-CoV-2 related viruses were smuggled from SE Asia, so there is a possibility that SARS-CoV-2 were coming from

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
