How to read this data to trade Nifty:
Candlestick Chart, Support-Resistance, EMA 50 and some TA are basic for trading but these data can be used as additional Trend Setter Indicator!
FII Nifty+ Future Open Interest: When FIIs are Bullish, there are maximum "Fresh Long" seen, and rare "Short Cover"! When FIIs are Bearish there are maximum "Fresh Short" seen, and rare "Long Unwind"! Strength of FII Bullish/Bearish Trend can be identified by Buy-Sell figure. Additional details in this post:

Total Nifty Future Open Interest: (FII+Everyone else)
Following two are mostly standard:
Nifty Up and OI Up = Fresh Long
Nifty Down and OI Up = Fresh Short
Following two are tricky but mostly true:
Nifty Down and OI Down = Long Unwind
Nifty Up and OI Down = Short Cover
Strength can be identified by OI Difference figure.
Put Call Ratio (PCR): Current month means current Future and Option(F&O) expiry month, just like that next month and far month. Current month PCR OI means current month Total Nifty Put OI divided by current month Total Nifty Call OI. PCR VOL means today's traded Put Volume divided by Call Volume.
Current Month PCR OI is more important but
during last ~5 trading days of F&O month, next month PCR OI becomes more important. While checking selected day's historical data, Current Month PCR OI range was seen between 0.37(Nifty Oversold) to 3.86(Nifty Overbought). PCR range varies time to time, depending on the Strength of Trend. On recent January 2012 Strong Bullish Trend, PCR range was 1.08 to 3.12. February 1.35 to 2.48. March & April was Simple Bearish Trend with PCR range of 1 to 1.3. In this current May month, PCR range is 0.97 to 1.22 till today---As on today, this month is more bearish than March & April.
Once PCR range is identified: During Bullish Trend, Buy at low PCR and book profit at high PCR but don't short sell! Same for Bearish Trend, Sell at high PCR and book profit at low PCR but don't long buy!
