How can the Overview tab help me evaluate a commodity on FYERS?
Let's use CRUDEOILM Futures as an example to understand how each section of the Overview tab can help you evaluate a commodity contract.
Understand how the commodity is performing
When you open the Overview tab for CRUDEOILM Futures, start by reviewing its price movement.
The Price Chart shows how the contract has moved across different timeframes, while Price Analysis helps you understand where the current price sits within its trading range. For example, if CRUDEOILM Futures is trading near its day's high, it may indicate strong buying interest.
Before placing a trade, review OI & Other Details to check whether Open Interest is increasing or decreasing, which can help you gauge market participation. You can also use Contract Specifications to verify details such as the lot size and expiry date before taking a position.
Together, these sections help you evaluate the contract before entering a trade.
Analyse market activity and explore trading opportunities
After reviewing the contract, continue with the Tools, Option Analytics, and Strategies sections.
For example, if Option Analytics shows increased Open Interest around a particular strike price, you can open the Option Chain from the Tools section to analyse that strike in more detail.
If your outlook on CRUDEOILM Futures is bullish, bearish, or neutral, explore the corresponding category in the Strategies section to review suitable options strategies, their payoff diagrams, and when they may be used.
Together, these sections help you understand market sentiment and turn your analysis into potential trading opportunities.
Compare the contract with the broader commodity market
The final sections help you evaluate the selected contract within the broader commodity market.
Use the Seasonality Chart to understand how CRUDEOILM Futures has historically performed across different months and quarters. For example, if the contract has historically performed well during a particular month, you can use that insight as additional context while analysing the current trend.
You can also compare CRUDEOILM Futures with other commodities in the Commodity Markets section or review Similar Futures to compare contracts with different expiries before choosing one that aligns with your trading plan.
Together, these sections help you look beyond a single contract and make more informed trading decisions.
