How Can I Tell If Institutions Are Adding to or Exiting Positions During the Day?

”Everyone talks about institutions moving the market. But how do I actually know what they’re doing right now?”

Standard platforms show price, volume, maybe delayed OI—but not live positioning shifts. You’re guessing at what big players are doing.

”So how does Vtrender solve this?”

Vtrender Live Charts give intraday visibility: options inventory tracking shows which strikes are seeing adds or cuts during the session; live COT shows control shifts; Order Flow shows large-lot aggression. Together, you watch positioning evolve in real time.

”Practical example?”

Nifty is consolidating. You see institutions quietly adding calls at a higher strike—inventory shows steady accumulation; Order Flow confirms buying pressure; COT shifts to buyers. You position before the breakout; when it comes, you already have the best entry. If you see cuts instead, you exit or avoid fighting them.

”Seeing positions being added or cut gave me clarity I never had before. It’s like watching the market breathe.” – Sandeep Joshi, futures trader

The Bottom Line:

Institutions leave footprints. Track intraday inventory, COT, and Order Flow to align with them instead of guessing.
