Flows · the book against today

The first bar is every open contract that exists. The second is only what changed today. Opposite directions mean today pushed against the position rather than adding to it.

How to read the ladders
What these numbers are

Open, high and low mean the first, highest and lowest of 138 to 144 samples taken between 09:16 and 15:39 IST, not the exchange’s official prints, and the close is the last price we sampled rather than the settlement price. GEX is normalised to five days and compares across days for one index, never between indices. Volume reads zero at every strike after the close, so no volume figure appears above.


Same time tomorrow.
