Is There a Chart That Updates Daily Inventory of Positions in Options?

”I see OI (Open Interest) on my charts. Isn’t that enough to track positioning?”

OI is useful, but it’s incomplete. It shows total positions outstanding, but it doesn’t tell you what changed today. Did institutions add longs? Cut hedges? Roll or build? Without daily shifts, you’re staring at a snapshot instead of watching the story unfold.

”Why does it matter what happened today versus just knowing total OI?”

Because institutions adjust positions quietly throughout the day. By the time total OI shows a big change, they’re often already positioned for the next move. To trade alongside them, you need to see daily inventory changes as they happen. Understanding gamma exposure helps you read these shifts better.

”How does Vtrender show this?”

Vtrender Live Charts track daily inventory across NSE options. Every session, you see which strikes had positions added, which had them cut, and where institutions are adjusting exposure. Instead of guessing intent, you watch positioning evolve in real time.

”Give me a real example. How does this help in actual trading?”

Say BankNifty is range-bound, but institutions quietly add calls at a specific strike over three sessions. Total OI shows the build, but daily inventory shows the consistent accumulation—that’s intent. You position early, so when price breaks out, you’re already aligned.

”This seems like a lot to track. Is it complicated?”

No. The charts visualize it clearly: green for adds, red for cuts. Simple, but powerful.

”Earlier I saw only OI. Now I see daily shifts in positioning—and it makes all the difference.” – Harsh Verma, index trader

The Bottom Line:

Total OI is a rearview mirror. Daily inventory is your live feed. Track how institutional exposure evolves each session and trade with context, not guesswork.
