Quintal Mind Documentation
Quintal Mind is a live options analytics platform for Indian markets. It streams spread prices, not just option prices: butterflies, ratio spreads, combo butterflies and calendars, computed from the live bid and ask of every leg. It covers the NSE and BSE index options and MCX commodity options.
You sign in with your broker account. See How Quintal Mind works for the brokers supported and how the data reaches you.
