AOC takes an modern approach to provide some of the default opinionated settings and customization but it does not limit or enforces users by locking to a particular UI or color coding.
In this article we will take a deep dive on all the customizations options available in Advance Option Chain to help you make feel at home.
There are mainly three options which helps us style AOC as per our comfort.
- Settings
- Chart Settings
- Accessibility Settings
These options can be accessed from menu (left hamburger icon on top left corner of AOC)
1. Settings
When you click on Settings on the menu you get a bunch of options as shown in the image alongside.
We will learn about each of them in following sections
1.1 Primary Server
To provide users with seamless and lag free experience AOC has deployed several servers at different locations. It makes AOC deliver faster data as well as makes overall system fault tolerant. Primary servers are responsible for delivering data to end users.
As of version 6.0.3 AOC provides up to 5 servers to choose from. You can chose any of these they are all equally powerful and performant.
If you ever experience lag or no data issue this is the first thing you should check. It is also the first step in solving any login or connection issues.
1.2 Dark and Light Mode
1.3 ITM/OTM Highlight
1.4 Keep Screen Awake
When enabled it will prevent you device screen from turning off and on desktop or laptop it will prevent screensaver from turning on.
1.5 Show Reversal Price
When this option is enabled it will show EOS and EOR values also known as Elastic ends or the reversal prices on option chain itself.
You can click on the values to copy them directly
1.6 Hide Third Highest
When this option is enabled it will only highlight first i.e 100% in green or red and 2nd % higher than 75% in yellow. It will not highlight any other percentage
1.7 Show Numbers
When enabled data will be shown in numbers instead of compact format like K, M, B
1.8 Reverse Table
When reverse table is enabled, option chain feels natural
– One of the most loved feature in AOC
When reverse table is disabled. Option chain is upside down traditional view
– Traditional display of option chain.
1.9 Prefer Percentage
When enabled percentage value will be shown bigger and above quantity for volume, OI and OI Change. And its inverse when disabled.
1.10 Show Qt in Lots
By default AOC shows data ie. Volume, OI and OI Change in numbers but NSE show this data in Lots. So if you ever fee the data is not matching as per NSE first thing you should do is enable show qt in numbers option from settings.
1.11 Horizontal and Vertical Scale
AOC provides customization options to scale your option chain UI as per your viewing comfort. You can increase and decrease these sliders to zoom in and out the option chain. It applies to Live option chain and historical option chain.
It is one of the least used but very useful feature specially for smaller devices such as mobile phone and tablets.
2 Chart Settings
Similar to settings AOC also provides chart settings for personalization of charts in AOC. AOC is chart heavy software that provides most of its features via charts thus providing and option to set default values makes it easy for users to use our charts.
When you enable an option from chart setting AOC saves your preferences on the local device storage and applies it automatically.
Enable CE , PE , PE-CE etc when turned on OI and OI Change charts will show these lines by default.
Remember Last Chart (Multi OI and OI) will open the corresponding charts tab next time you open the UI.
3. Accessibilities Settings
This allows user to change the default colors of AOC. By default OI data on CE side is red colored to mark it as bearish and PE as green to mark it as bullish, which again is an modern approach taken by AOC to make it simpler for users to understand Option Chain.
Yet AOC does not limit its user and does not locks you in or forces you to follow the same color coding. You can easily change these colors as per your liking.
