Historical Data On Option Required

#1
Hi,

I need to know the historical data of individual no of buy & sell contract for a particular Strike price on a given day.

Suppose let the strike price be 4600 for a put option

The historical Archive on the nifty site gives the total traded Quantity for that strike price.Not a bifurcation of no of contracts bought or sold on that particular date.

Guidance will be appreciated.

If you are downloading data from NSE / Home > F&O > Market Information > Historical Data > Contract-wise Data section.. then you will get "No. of contract" traded on that day for a particular strike +CE/PE.

If you have "Change in OI" number then you can easily get #of contracts traded by dividing this Change in OI number by 50 (nifty contract size).
That is the volume of that particular strike+option chain.

Hope this helps.

Hi AW10,

I want the individual no of contracts sold & brought for a strike price on a given day.Not the total no of contract traded .

for ex on 27/07/2009 for strike price 4600 the no of contract bought & the no of contract sold.

Total contract traded(1)=No of contract bought(2) + no of contract sold(3).

I want 2 & 3 not 1.

Hope u can help.

thanks

Dear.. as far as I understand. for each trade to take place - we need a buyer and a seller. If only 1 party is present, the transaction can't take place.

so the "# of contract" tells us how many contracts have really changed the hand.
Buyers are always equal to sellers. They can't be different.
So in your example = contract trade (1) = buyer (1) = seller (1)

Order placed in the queue can be different, but that is just a wish order. I can place order to buy 100000, 4500 nifty july CAll contract at 1 Rs. .. but thats doesn't mean that trade has taken place. cause no will sell me that contract at 1 Rs.. when market price is 40Rs. so order just hangs there and gets deleted at end of the day.

So, if there are 12 contracts traded in a day.. and if you want to know that they are traded in how many transaction and what was the size of each transaction (eg. - 1, 5, 3, 2, 1.. ), then I don't think that such data will be available free.

Though, I wonder why would someone need such transaction level data.

Thats what the confusion NSE creates . It should be BID qty and Offer qty instaed of Buy Qty adn sell Qty . The bid / offer changes in minutes all the time and i am sure it wont help you for the next day .

When I first looked at them, I remember being able to plot candlestick chart for options. Candles used to be very sparse and usually single dashes. But, off late, charts do not plot. If you are thinking about doing TA after plotting them, its waste of time. You had much rather rely on tick-by-tick data of underlying. I would not be surprised if someone would store it.

Orderbook that you show on screen is typically shown in market watch, right?
