Best Practices
Follow these recommended practices to maximize your success with OpNodes 2026.
Use Hedged Strategies
Always prefer hedged strategies over naked buying or selling. This helps limit risk and protects your capital in volatile markets.
Focus on Expensive Options
For Nifty, Options priced above ₹200 are considered expensive options and offer better liquidity. Most effective accumulation and distribution patterns occur in expensive options first. Cheap options (below ₹200) may not show reliable patterns.
Monitor India VIX
Keep a close eye on India VIX levels. Adjust your strategy based on whether VIX is rising (favor buyers) or falling (favor writers).
Analyze Both CE and PE
Use Call and Put options together for comprehensive market analysis. This dual approach provides better decision-making insights.
Stick to European Options
Use OpNodes 2026 on European Options charts only. The tool is not tested for American options and may not work correctly.
Wait for Zone Completion
Be patient and wait for accumulation or distribution zones to complete before taking trade decisions. Patience often leads to better entries.
Pro Tips
Expert tips to enhance your trading experience with OpNodes 2026.
Timing Your Entries
Look for opportunities as per Wavenodes IWC (Intraday Wave Calculator) directions. Wait for confirmation candles before entering trades to avoid false breakouts. Remember: accumulation occurs in green zones, distribution in red zones.
Setting Targets
Use the opposite decision zones as potential target areas. For long positions, look at the next green zone as a profit target. For short positions, use the next red zone. Wait for accumulation (green) or distribution (red) to complete before taking trade decisions.
VIX Awareness
When India VIX spikes above 20, consider reducing position sizes and being more selective with trades. High volatility can lead to false signals and increased risk. Falling VIX favors option writers, while rising VIX supports option buyers.
Multiple Timeframes
While OpNodes 2026 is designed for intraday use, checking higher timeframe zones can provide context for the day's trading direction and major support/resistance levels.
Expensive vs Cheap Options
Focus on expensive options (e.g. Nifty options priced above ₹200) for the most reliable accumulation and distribution signals. Cheap options (e.g. Nifty options below ₹200) may not show consistent patterns and should be approached with caution.
Trade Adjustments
Use dotted adjustment zones to trail your stop-losses or take partial profits. This helps lock in gains while allowing room for the trade to develop further.
Risk Management
Never risk more than 1-2% of your trading capital on a single trade. Use proper position sizing and always have a pre-defined stop-loss before entering any position.
