Coverage
Features
Every feature listed here is in the current build.
Live option chain
Kite WebSocket as the primary feed with REST fallback. Choose the number of strikes shown around ATM (default 10).
Any listed expiry
Pick weekly or monthly expiries with days-to-expiry shown, and view two expiries of the same underlying side by side.
One-click broker switch
Route orders to Zerodha Kite or Kotak Neo from the same screen, with broker-aware lot sizes for MCX.
Order from the chain
Place single-leg orders or two-leg strangles directly from the chain, with a configurable slippage setting.
Positions dashboard
Live positions with bid/ask, grouped by underlying and sorted CE/PE by strike. Exit individual positions or flatten all.
Freeze-quantity auto-split
Large exits are automatically split into child orders within exchange freeze limits, so big positions close without rejections.
Margin in the header
Available margin of the selected broker is shown next to spot in the chain header.
Paper mode
A separate simulated positions book with live mark-to-market. Paper orders never reach a broker.
OI analytics
Dashboard computing PCR, max pain, call wall, put wall, gamma flip and dealer gamma/delta exposure (GEX/DEX) from chain open interest. Calculations only, not recommendations.
Built for flaky networks
Tick watchdog with auto-reconnect, hard timeouts on quote calls, last-good-spot cache and a STALE badge when data is old.
Fast restarts
Instrument lists for NFO, BFO and MCX are cached on disk, so the app starts without a full download each time.
Optional Telegram pings
Optional notifications of the OI analytics summary to your own Telegram. Informational only.
Requirements

- Zerodha Kite Connect API app (paid subscription from Zerodha), used for market data and Kite orders
