Option chain premium volume analysis
Ask yourself why exchange doesn't provide you the volume data of options why they try to keep this data secret and nobody talks about it because they know the importance of volume data to analyze the option chain analysis.
- Retail traders don't understand the importance of volume in option chain analysis because there is no information available.
- Low volume with high open interest indicates the professional trader's position
- High volume with low open interest shows the retail investors positions
- The reason for low volume and high open interest is due to the large order position by professional traders.
- They buy or sell their orders with minimum no of trades but in large quantities from retail investors
- But retail investors buy or sell their orders in small quantities causing large volume instead of open interest.
- Professional traders sell their options when the price reaches a certain level they already placed their order in the system for the day

ReplyDeleteVery good website and informative and out of box, I have been asking this question and was searching the historical volume of options. Now I came to know that we should record it.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I would like to ask you whether we should record the volume of all strike prices or the one with highest open intrest. same goes for IV should we record the iv for all the strikes or only the highest open intrest.
This is the comment we wolud to hear on our every pages. Thank you so much for your valuable comment. Regarding your question : We provide data for all strike price because if there is sudden change in out of the money option volume or IV we can't catch it.
