Track the ATM Straddle Premium

To track the ATM (at-the-money) straddle premium through the day, open the Straddle Chart: it plots the call price plus the put price near the money, minute by minute, with VWAP, EMAs and a past-session compare. For a quick view of every index at once, the Watchlist on the Sheets page shows the live straddle next to spot and days to expiry.

What to look at​

  • Straddle price card. The live premium, with the strike it uses shown under it. ATM Shift on the chart marks when that strike changed.
  • Straddle against VWAP and EMAs. The lines are drawn on the same chart as the premium. VWAP is not offered for MCX, whose feed carries no volume.
  • Session snapshot. Open, High, Low and Change of the premium for the session, and At this strike for the call and put split.
  • Compare line. The past session or the 5-session median is drawn on the same clock, so you can read today's premium against it minute by minute.
  • Two straddle definitions. The straddle chart uses the call + put pair with the lowest combined price among ATM ± 5 strikes. The watchlist and the Synthetic Straddle intraday chart use the call plus put at the strike closest to the synthetic spot (ATM strike + call − put). The numbers can differ slightly for that reason.
  • Straddle chart: every indicator, range and option chain column on the page.
  • Watchlist: spot, DTE and straddle for each index and MCX commodity.
  • Intraday charts: the Synthetic Straddle chart at 1m, 3m or 5m inside Sheets.

FAQ​

Where can I track the Nifty ATM straddle premium live?​

At quintalmind.com/straddle-chart. It plots the combined call and put premium near the money minute by minute, with spot, synthetic future, VWAP and two EMAs, and it opens without signing in.

Why can the watchlist straddle differ from the straddle chart?​

They pick the strike in different ways. The straddle chart uses the call + put pair with the lowest combined price among the ATM ± 5 strikes. The watchlist uses the synthetic straddle: the call plus the put at the strike closest to the synthetic spot.

Can I compare today's straddle with earlier days?​

Yes. Compare session draws any past session on the same clock, or the median of the last 5 sessions at 0, 1 or 2 days to expiry. The Range menu can also add up to 5 earlier sessions before today.
