NSE Option Historical Data & Chart Option Historical ChartSee how any NSE option contract actually traded — day by day, right up to expiry. Choose a symbol, an expiry, a strike and CE or PE, and the chart draws that contract's own candles with the underlying stock price, implied volatility, open interest and volume layered on the same time axis. Expired contracts are kept, so you can study a trade long after it settled.
Why expired contracts are worth keeping
Most option data disappears the moment a contract settles. A live chain shows what is trading now, which is exactly the wrong window for studying anything: by the time a move is worth understanding, the contracts that made it are gone. This tool keeps the history after settlement, so any strike from any past expiry can still be loaded, charted and read end to end.
That makes a specific kind of question answerable. How did that strike price behave in the final week before expiry. What did open interest do while the premium was falling. Whether implied volatility rose into an event and collapsed after it. Each of those needs the contract's own candles alongside what was happening around it, after the fact — which is what this chart draws.
What is layered on the chart
The contract's daily candles are the base: one candle per trading session, with an open, high, low and close from NSE's published end-of-day file. Over them you can switch on the underlying stock price, so the option can be read against what it derives from; implied volatility, which frequently explains a premium move the stock does not; open interest, which shows whether positions were being opened or closed; and traded volume, which shows where a session's activity went.
All four sit on one time axis, which is the point — the relationships between them are what carry the information, and they are invisible when each is read on a separate screen. Trendline and measure tools are available on the chart itself for marking levels and reading the percentage change between any two points.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see option data for a contract that has already expired?
Yes. Expired contracts are the point of this tool — we keep the stored history after settlement, so you can load candles, implied volatility, open interest and volume for past expiries and study exactly how a contract behaved on its way out.
How far back does the NSE option history go?
The stored history covers several years of NSE stock option expiries. The expiry dropdown only lists cycles that actually contain data, so anything you can select is a cycle you can chart.
Is this live option chain data or end of day?
End of day. Each candle is one trading session built from NSE's published daily data, which is what makes it stable enough to study after the fact. For live prices during market hours, use your broker's terminal.
Does it show the stock price alongside the option?
Yes. The underlying equity price line can be overlaid on its own scale, with its open, high, low and close in the tooltip, so you can see the option and the stock move together.
What does it cost to use?
Creating an account costs nothing, and a new account comes with a pool of tool runs shared across the tools; referring another trader adds more. Some tools carry their own price, which is shown on the tool card and again before any payment.
