Watchlist
The watchlist is the symbol table in the left panel of the dashboard. For each index or commodity it shows the live spot, the days to expiry (DTE) and the straddle price, and clicking a row loads that symbol into the sheets and tools on the right.
| Shows | Spot, DTE and straddle per symbol |
| Layout | One row per symbol; Equity and Commodities tabs |
| Instruments | NIFTY, SENSEX, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, MIDCPNIFTY, BANKEX; GOLD, GOLDM, SILVER, SILVERM, CRUDE, CRUDEM, NATURALGAS, NATGASMINI, CRUDE NSE |

What you see
Equity tab
The table has four columns:
- Index: the symbol name. In the Tools view the same column is called Symbol.
- DTE: days to expiry, the number of days left until the option expiry. It always follows the nearest expiry so rows keep their order.
- Spot: the live index value.
- Straddle: the live straddle price, in points, for the expiry you picked.
The straddle shown is the synthetic straddle. First the sheet finds the synthetic spot: ATM strike + ATM call price − ATM put price. Then it adds the call and put prices at the strike closest to that synthetic spot. If the synthetic value is not ready yet, it falls back to the lowest call-plus-put total near ATM.
Before the market opens, DTE and Straddle show "--".
Click a row to open its expiry buttons. NIFTY and SENSEX list the current and next expiry, each labelled with its date and days left. Picking one changes the Straddle column and the sheets on the right.
Below the table, Stock Futures and, where shown, Jelly open their own views.
Commodities tab
The same idea for MCX: Symbol, DTE, Spot and Straddle. For commodities the spot is the price of the underlying future. Crude oil rows can open an expiry drawer when a second options series is listed.
Below the list, Future Calendar and Options Arbitrage open the MCX spread views.
The row you selected and the row with the nearest expiry are highlighted.

FAQ
Where can I see the live NIFTY ATM straddle price?
In the Quintal Mind watchlist, on the left panel of the Sheets page. The Straddle column shows the live straddle price for NIFTY and the other indices, next to spot and days to expiry.
How is the straddle in the watchlist calculated?
It is the synthetic straddle: the call price plus the put price at the strike closest to the synthetic spot, which is the ATM strike plus the ATM call price minus the ATM put price.
Can I see the straddle for the next NIFTY expiry?
Yes. Click the NIFTY or SENSEX row to open its expiry buttons and pick the next expiry. The Straddle column then shows that expiry.
