The original Diwakar’s Plate

Where Diwakar’s Plate began

Explore NIFTY options through a centrally heated disc, concentric strike rings, and a moving spot ring—then connect the picture to option pricing, time decay, volatility, and the Greeks.

Free educational demonstration • Mobile and desktop friendly • Theoretical prices, not live quotes

The foundation

Three ideas. One intuitive picture.

01 · Fixed strike rings

Concentric rings mark individual NIFTY option strike prices. They remain fixed while the market moves.

02 · Moving spot ring

The cyan ring follows NIFTY spot. Its position helps explain when a call or put is in, at, or out of the money.

03 · Central heat and glow

The disc is hottest at its centre. Its gold activation boundary marks the incandescence threshold—not a direct measure of an option's premium.

Learn with the simulator

From intuition to the Greeks

Change NIFTY spot, strike, implied volatility, or time to expiry and observe theoretical call and put prices. Explore Delta, Gamma, Theta and Vega as separate financial sensitivities. Select from the theoretical option chain to update the plate instantly.

Important: The heated plate is an educational analogy. Premiums are calculated using a simplified mathematical options model. The physical temperature and the financial valuation overlay represent different concepts.
About this project

Diwakar's Plate

An evolving educational framework developed to make option pricing and risk sensitivities more accessible through a consistent visual metaphor. This early simulator includes a synchronized theoretical NIFTY option chain. The current framework continues on the Unified Plate homepage.
