✨ Key Features
1. 🔍 Advanced Cross-Strike Matching Algorithm
The indicator calculates price differences for all 25 combinations (5 call strikes × 5 put strikes) and identifies the best matches based on put-call parity.
How it works:
Compares each call option price with every put option price
Calculates absolute difference: |Call - Put[j]|
Ranks all 25 combinations from lowest to highest difference
Highlights top 3 or top 5 matches with visual checkmarks
Visual indicators:
✓✓ (Double check) = Best match (lowest price difference)
✓ (Single check) = Good matches (top 3 or top 5)
Empty cells = No match (significant price difference)
Why this matters:
When Call ≈ Put at same strike, it indicates fair pricing and synthetic position opportunities. The indicator automatically finds these opportunities across different strike combinations.
2. 🎯 Intelligent Trading Signals (Last Column)
The indicator generates professional trading recommendations based on Call-Put price difference analysis:
Signal Types:
BUY CE - Long call opportunity (bullish)
SELL CE - Short call opportunity (premium selling)
BUY PE - Long put opportunity (bearish/hedge)
SELL PE - Short put opportunity (premium selling)
BULL - Moderate bullish bias
BEAR - Moderate bearish bias
ATM - Neutral market (near parity)
NEUTRAL - No clear bias
Color-Coded for Quick Decisions:
🟩 Green = Long opportunities (BUY CE, BULL)
🟥 Red = Short call opportunities (SELL CE)
🟧 Orange = Long put opportunities (BUY PE)
🟫 Maroon = Short put opportunities (SELL PE)
⬛ Gray = Neutral zones (ATM, NEUTRAL)

💬 FAQ
Q: Why manual strike entry? Why not fully automatic?
A: Pine Script's type system limits fully automatic strike generation from live data. However, setup takes just 30 seconds once at market open, and the indicator handles all analysis automatically throughout the day.
Q: How often should I update strikes?
A: Rarely! Only when market moves 100+ points from initial ATM. Usually 0-2 times per day, even in volatile markets.
Q: Which Signal Mode is best?
A: Smart mode (default) for professional trading. Use Momentum for intraday scalping, Mean Reversion for premium selling.
Q: Can I use this for stock options?
A: No. The indicator is designed specifically for NSE index options (NIFTY and BANKNIFTY) with NSE format.
Q: Does it work on mobile?
A: Yes, but table display is optimized for desktop/tablet screens. Use "tiny" or "small" size on mobile.
Q: What if I see "-" in cells?
A: Check expiry format (YYMMDD), verify strikes match NSE strikes, and ensure market is open.
Q: What's the difference between ✓✓ and ✓?
A: ✓✓ = Best match (lowest price difference), highest quality. ✓ = Good matches (top 3-5), reliable quality.
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: The indicator shows live analysis. For backtesting options strategies, you'll need historical options data and separate backtesting tools.
Q: What does the info box show?
A: Bottom-left box shows key metrics: symbol, signal mode, spot price, ATM strike, best matched strikes, match difference, and C-P value.
Q: Why no chart plotting?
A: v1.0 focuses on clean table display with maximum information density. Chart plotting may be added in future versions based on user feedback.

Check current price (e.g., NIFTY at 25,937)
Round to nearest interval (25,950 for 50 interval)
Enter 5 strikes: -100, -50, 0, +50, +100 from ATM
Update Frequency:
Usually no update needed entire day
Update only if market moves 100+ points from initial ATM
Typically 0-2 updates per trading session

✅ Use proper position sizing (1-2% risk per trade)
✅ Set stop losses (20-30% of premium for longs)
✅ Have profit targets (30-50% for scalps)

💬 FAQ
Q: Why manual strike entry? Why not fully automatic?
A: Pine Script's type system limits fully automatic strike generation from live data. However, setup takes just 30 seconds once at market open, and the indicator handles all analysis automatically throughout the day.
Q: How often should I update strikes?
A: Rarely! Only when market moves 100+ points from initial ATM. Usually 0-2 times per day, even in volatile markets.
Q: Which Signal Mode is best?
A: Smart mode (default) for professional trading. Use Momentum for intraday scalping, Mean Reversion for premium selling.
Q: Can I use this for stock options?
A: No. The indicator is designed specifically for NSE index options (NIFTY and BANKNIFTY) with NSE format.
Q: Does it work on mobile?
A: Yes, but table display is optimized for desktop/tablet screens. Use "tiny" or "small" size on mobile.
Q: What if I see "-" in cells?
A: Check expiry format (YYMMDD), verify strikes match NSE strikes, and ensure market is open.
Q: What's the difference between ✓✓ and ✓?
A: ✓✓ = Best match (lowest price difference), highest quality. ✓ = Good matches (top 3-5), reliable quality.
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: The indicator shows live analysis. For backtesting options strategies, you'll need historical options data and separate backtesting tools.
Q: What does the info box show?
A: Bottom-left box shows key metrics: symbol, signal mode, spot price, ATM strike, best matched strikes, match difference, and C-P value.
Q: Why no chart plotting?
A: v1.0 focuses on clean table display with maximum information density. Chart plotting may be added in future versions based on user feedback.
