Trading software or terminals serve as a platform for traders to execute and analyse their trades. With countless trading strategies available, traders always look for innovative tools that offer efficiency, speed, and enhanced analysis.
Enter MarketWatch, the essential platform where scripts are added to buy or sell instruments. For the first time in the industry, Definedge has introduced a groundbreaking feature that promises to redefine the trading experience—the Straddle Watchlist.
The Straddle Watchlist is available on our trading platforms including TradePoint. . This cutting-edge feature allows Options Traders to access new levels of insight and power.
What is a Straddle?
Before diving into how the Straddle Watchlist works, understanding the concept of a “Straddle.” In options trading, a Straddle strategy involves buying both a Call Option (CE) and a Put Option (PE) on the same underlying asset with the same strike price and expiry. The strategy aims to profit from significant price movement, whether up or down, in either direction.
Introducing the Straddle Watchlist – A First in the Industry
The Straddle Watchlist feature from Definedge marks a monumental shift in how traders can interact with options. By adding up the total of the CE (Call) and PE (Put) for a specific script, expiry, and strike price, traders can now see and analyse the combined potential for these options directly within their MarketWatch.
For the first time ever, the Straddle Watchlist allows traders to monitor these combined options and seamlessly trade them with just a click. This feature provides an easy-to-use and powerful tool that saves time and enhances trading decisions, making it a must-have for those who rely on options trading strategies.
How to Use the Straddle Watchlist
Here’s how you can add and leverage the Straddle Watchlist on your TradePoint:
- Open Your Watchlist
- Start by opening your Watchlist within the platform. This is where all your key market data resides, and now, with the Straddle Watchlist, it will be even more powerful.
2. Add a Script from NSE (NFO) or MCX
Next, you can easily add a script (i.e., an underlying asset) from either the NSE (NFO) or MCX exchanges. Whether you’re looking at stocks, commodities, or indices, the Straddle Watchlist covers a wide array of market instruments.
3. Trade Directly with One Click
The standout feature of this tool is its ease of use. Once your script is added, you can trade directly with a single click. This seamless integration allows you to act on your analysis in real time without opening multiple tabs or windows.
4. Right-click and Analyse the CHarts
For in-depth analysis, right-click on the desired script in your Watchlist and select from a range of charting options. You can view the market data through Candlestick, P&F (Point and Figure), Renko, Line Break, or Heikin Ashi charts. These chart types offer different ways of visualising market trends, allowing you to make more informed decisions based on your preferred technical analysis style.
5. Analyse the Chart
Choose a chart type to study price movements, identify patterns and track market trends. The Straddle Watchlist, combined with these powerful charting options, gives you unparalleled insight into how the market is moving and where opportunities may lie.
