Stock Options Buying Strategy

Post-Expiry Stock Selection Strategy:

1. Source: NSE Derivatives
• Navigate to: NSE → Derivatives → Most Active Securities
• Download the Excel file listing active securities.

2. Filtering Criteria:
• Only consider Stock Futures (exclude indices and options).
• Sort by % Change (Descending) to catch the biggest movers.
• Focus on stocks with >1% change in futures — indicating fresh institutional interest.
• Execute this 2 days after F&O expiry for cleaner post-rollover trends.

3. Technical Filters for Longs (Options Buying Focus):
• Monthly RSI > 60 – confirms long-term bullish momentum.
• Daily RSI crossing 60 – entry trigger.
• Price above 9 EMA and 200 SMA – trend confirmation.
• Price above POC and VAH (from Volume Profile on daily chart between last swing low → high) – shows strength above value.
________________________________________
📊 Volume Profile Insight:
• POC (Point of Control): Highest volume area → fair value.
• VAH (Value Area High): Upper limit of 70% volume zone.
• Price above both suggests price acceptance at higher levels, potentially indicating institutional accumulation.

Stock Remarks

________________________________________
🧠 Noteworthy Insight: INFY
• if Infosys (INFY) is showing up in the high futures activity list despite weak IT sector performance, it could indicate:
o Contrarian institutional positioning
o Pre-emptive long build-up ahead of some event
o Or possibly short covering (check OI change with price)
