Dashboard

The Options Scalping Nifty indicator provides a comprehensive real-time dashboard designed for traders tracking Nifty futures by monitoring major contributing stocks and indices. It offers a centralized view of market sentiment across key Indian indices, global cues, and high-weightage Nifty constituents to assist in scalping and intraday decision-making.

Usage

The indicator can be used to gauge the immediate strength or weakness of the Nifty 50 by observing its primary drivers. By tracking the Last Traded Price (LTP) and various percentage changes, traders can identify if a move in Nifty is supported by broad-based buying in heavyweights like RELIANCE or HDFCBANK.

Key metrics displayed in the table include:

  • LTP: The current price of the security.
  • Daily Change: Absolute price movement from the previous day's close.
  • Daily % Change: Percentage performance since the market open.
  • Short-term Change: Performance metrics over the last 15 minutes and 1 hour (represented by specific bar offsets in the script logic) to identify momentum shifts.

Details

The script fetches data from multiple symbols using the request.security function. It monitors a specific set of constituents categorized into indices and stocks:

  • Indices: BankNifty, Nifty, FinNifty, Dow Jones (YM1!), and India VIX.
  • Stocks: Reliance (RIL), HDFC Bank, Infosys (INFY), TCS, and ICICI Bank.

The dashboard uses color coding to indicate direction: green for positive changes and red for negative changes. Notably, the India VIX uses inverse logic (red for positive, green for negative) to reflect its typical relationship with market volatility and risk.

Settings

  • Position of Table: Allows the user to move the dashboard to different corners or sections of the chart (e.g., Top Right, Bottom Left).
  • Green Color: Customizes the background color used for positive price movements.
  • Red Color: Customizes the background color used for negative price movements.
  • Border Color: Sets the color for the table borders.
  • Header Background Color: Defines the color for the first row and column headers.

FAQ

How do I interpret the India VIX row?

The VIX typically moves inversely to the market. In this tool, if the VIX is rising (indicating higher volatility/risk), the cell will appear red. If it is falling, the cell will appear green.

Can I change the stocks being tracked?

The current version has a fixed list of the top 5 high-weightage Nifty stocks. To track different symbols, the underlying Pine Script code would need to be modified.
