Option Chain Page — Your Main Screen

After broker login, the Option Chain page loads by default — this is the home base of BrilliantBull. Everything else branches out from here. This guide explains every visible area and what each button/section does.

What You See on Screen

The screen is divided into 5 main zones:

1. Top Header — app title, index selector, expiry, quick buttons (Pricing, Sound, Refresh, Display Scale, Advanced Chart)
2. Card Strip (below header) — live market stats in compact cards
3. Left Sidebar — icon-based navigation to 59+ tools, grouped in 5 categories
4. Center Table — the actual Option Chain with calls (left), strikes (middle), puts (right)
5. Bottom Status Bar — connection status, data freshness, license days remaining

Left Sidebar — 59 Tools in 5 Groups

The left sidebar is a vertical strip of icons. Each icon opens a specific tool in a new window. Icons are organized in 5 category groups (separated by small dividers):

• ESSENTIALS (15) — Most-used daily tools: News, Option Chain, Scanner, Broker, AI Agent, TradingView, etc.

How to use: Hover over any icon to see its name as a tooltip. Click to open that tool. Multiple tool windows can be open at the same time.

Card Strip (Below Header)

The card strip is a horizontal row of compact cards showing live market stats. These update in real-time as prices change.

Typical cards include:

• Spot Card — current spot price + day's change + change %
• ATM Strike — at-the-money strike auto-calculated
• PCR Card — Put-Call Ratio for current expiry
• Max Pain — calculated max pain strike
• Market Breadth — advance/decline summary
• VIX — India VIX live value

Hover on any card for more details. Some cards are clickable and open a related tool window (e.g., clicking Max Pain opens the Pain Chart tool).

Option Chain Table (Center)

This is the main table — the heart of the app. It shows calls and puts side by side for all strikes around the ATM.

Column layout (left to right)

Call side (left half):

• Change in OI (CE)
• Open Interest (CE)
• Volume (CE)
• IV (CE)
• LTP (CE)
• Day's Change (CE)

Middle:

• Strike Price — highlighted for ATM, ITM calls, and OTM puts

Put side (right half): — mirror of Call columns (LTP, IV, Volume, OI, Change in OI)

Color coding

• Green cells — price up today or positive change
• Red cells — price down today or negative change
• Yellow highlight — ATM strike row
• Dim rows — far OTM strikes (less liquid)

Interactions

• Click any LTP — opens quick-order dialog (Buy/Sell)
• Right-click a row — context menu with more options (add to watchlist, open chart, etc.)
• Scroll wheel — scroll the chain up/down to see more strikes
• Column headers — some are sortable (click to sort)

Bottom Status Bar

The thin strip at the bottom of the screen shows app-level information:

• 🟢 Connected / 🔴 Disconnected — broker connection status
• Data freshness — last update time (should refresh every 1-2 seconds)
• WebSocket ping — latency indicator
• License days remaining — numeric countdown
