Common questions
What is NIFTY Financial Services max pain today?
It changes with every shift in FINNIFTY open interest, which is why Orbis computes it live from the chain rather than publishing a snapshot that goes stale by the next session. Open the option chain tool for the current value, the strike-wise OI behind it, and how it has moved through the day.
How is max pain calculated for FINNIFTY?
Take every listed FINNIFTY strike in turn, assume expiry settles exactly there, and total what all outstanding calls and puts would then pay out to buyers. The strike where that total payout is smallest is max pain – the point of maximum aggregate loss for option buyers, and by symmetry maximum retention for writers.
Is FINNIFTY max pain a reliable trading signal?
Treat it as positioning context, not a prediction. The "price gravitates to max pain" idea assumes writer hedging dominates the tape into expiry, which is sometimes true and often not. Orbis shows it beside PCR, OI change and IV so it is read as one input among several, with its limitations visible.
