LiveChart
Minute candles for an index or F&O stock with the dealer-positioning levels drawn on them and a read of whether the backdrop supports the candle on screen — walls, pin, gamma regime, futures OI, volume, VWAP, expected move, expiry.
What the Live Chart shows
One-minute candles of the index or stock you pick, with the dealer-positioning levels drawn on them — the call wall, the put wall, the pin, the gamma flip, the expected-move band and the session VWAP — and, under the price, the current-month future's volume and the read's bias bar by bar. The read asks one question of every candle: which way does the backdrop lean right now, and do its parts agree — and it lists the reasons rather than hiding them.
How to read it
- Leans up / Leans down · agreement — the lean of the backdrop and how much its parts agree (0–100). Agreement rises when the parts point the same way and volume confirms; it falls near the gamma flip, in the first fifteen minutes, into the close and on expiry afternoons.
- The bias bars — the pane under the volume shows the lean minute by minute, stronger colour for higher agreement. There are deliberately no arrows on the candles: on the stored sessions the lean matched the next fifteen minutes about half the time, so it is context, not a forecast.
- The lines — call wall (red) and put wall (green) are where dealer hedging sells rallies and buys dips in positive gamma; the pin (amber) is the strike the hedging pressure gathers around; the flip (blue dotted) is where the regime changes; the grey band is the day's expected move from the open.
- The reasons — every read lists what drove it — regime, walls, pin conviction, futures OI build-up, VWAP, stretch from the open, implied-vol drift, charm into expiry, volume and the clock — so nothing is a black box.
Frequently asked questions
No. It is a reading of hedging pressure, open interest and volume against the candle on screen — which way the backdrop leans and whether this candle agrees with it. It says nothing about what you should trade; it gives you the context to decide.
Measured, not assumed. Each part of the read is a tendency found in the stored sessions (for example, a move beyond one expected move from the open giving some back), weighted by how often it held. On the five sessions it was calibrated on, the combined lean matched the next fifteen-minute direction about half the time on the sessions held out — so it is shown as context in its own pane, with its reasons, and never as an arrow on a candle. The calibration is re-run as sessions accumulate.
Prices, volume and futures open interest stream from your own broker connection through the app's market-data feed, minute by minute, and the levels are the same dealer-positioning numbers the Dealer Positioning cockpit computes from the option chain every minute.
The first fifteen minutes, the last ten before the cash freeze, the closing auction and expiry afternoons are times when the clock outranks positioning — the open is still finding its level, or decay pins the price. The read says so in its reasons rather than pretending to a confidence it does not have.
Any NSE F&O stock. The first time a stock is opened it joins the live feed and the positioning collector, so its first minute can take a moment; after that it streams like an index.
