About Smart OI
Flags strikes where open interest jumped or dropped much faster than usual within a few minutes, and reads what it likely means (writing, buying, short covering or long unwinding).
How to use it
- Pick the symbol and expiry (the nearest is chosen for you).
- Pick the day: today is live, or choose a past day to replay.
- Read the chart with the summary cards and the insight box below it.
Questions
How is a move called "smart"?
When the OI change at a strike over about 5 minutes is at least 5 times the usual change across strikes and at least 1% of all the OI on that side.
Is this data live?
Yes, in market hours (9:15 am to 3:30 pm on trading days) the numbers refresh every minute without reloading the page. After the close you see the last session, and you can pick any saved past day.
Is this advice to buy or sell?
No. These are tools to read the market. They do not tell you what to trade. Options can lose all their value quickly; trade only what you understand and can afford to lose.
