Frequently Asked Questions about StockMojo

Common questions about StockMojo's options trading tools for Indian markets.

Does StockMojo require a login?

No, a login is not required for most tools on StockMojo. You can open the option chain, Max Pain, OI analysis, PCR and premium decay pages directly without signing up. An account is only needed if you want to save strategies.

Which markets and instruments does StockMojo cover?

StockMojo covers Indian equity derivatives listed on the NSE — including Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, FinNifty, Midcap Nifty and 200+ F&O stocks. Data spans options (calls and puts across all expiries), futures and the underlying cash segment.

How fresh is the data on StockMojo?

Option chain, OI and PCR data refresh in near real-time during NSE market hours (09:15–15:30 IST), typically every few seconds. Historical charts cover intraday and end-of-day snapshots that can be used for backtesting.

What is an option chain?

An option chain is a table of all available call and put option contracts for an underlying (e.g. Nifty) across every strike price and expiry. For each contract it shows the last traded price, implied volatility, open interest, volume and the option Greeks. StockMojo's option chain adds filters, live Greeks and OI-change heatmaps on top of the raw NSE feed.

What is Max Pain in options trading?

Max Pain is the strike price at which the largest number of outstanding options would expire worthless, causing the maximum combined loss to option buyers. It's widely used as a reference level because underlyings often gravitate toward the Max Pain strike near expiry. StockMojo's Max Pain tool computes this live from NSE open-interest data for Nifty, BankNifty and individual F&O stocks.

Is StockMojo registered with SEBI as an advisor?

No. StockMojo is an analytics and visualisation platform, not a SEBI-registered investment advisor. The tools surface market data and derived metrics but do not provide buy/sell recommendations. Users should consult a registered advisor before making trading decisions.

How do I build an options strategy on StockMojo?

Open the Strategy Builder, pick an underlying (e.g. Nifty) and expiry, then add legs — long or short calls/puts at any strike. The builder instantly shows the combined payoff diagram, maximum profit, maximum loss, breakeven points and margin estimate. You can save, share or import common strategies like iron condors, butterflies and straddles.

About StockMojo

StockMojo is an options analytics platform built for Indian markets. We turn options data into the kind of charts and screeners that institutional desks build internally. The whole thing is browser-based, no installs, no logins for the core tools.

Coverage spans Nifty 50, BankNifty, FinNifty, MidcpNifty, Sensex, and 200+ F&O stocks. The tools are organised around the questions traders actually ask: where are option writers positioned, how much premium is decaying, where is institutional flow rotating, what does the volatility surface look like.

Core tools

The most-used tools on the platform are the Nifty Option Chain, Max Pain Calculator, Open Interest Analysis, Put-Call Ratio, and Premium Decay Chart. For sentiment and volatility we have the ATM Straddle Chart, IV Chart, and Volatility Skew. For strategy building and backtesting, the Option Strategy Builder and Options Trading Simulator.

Market internals and flow

For market-internals research, the Advance Decline Ratio, Index Weightage, and Index Contributors tools decompose what's actually driving Nifty on any given session. For institutional flow, the FII DII Summary, Intraday Booster, and Smart OI Detection surface where institutions are actually committing capital. For backtesting, the Historical Option Chart and Timeseries Option Chain replay any past trading session minute by minute.

Who it's for

Active retail option traders, scalpers, swing traders, and analysts working on Indian F&O. The platform is designed for the kind of decisions that have to be made fast during market hours, plus the kind of slower research that gets done on weekends.
