Check out the F&O trends in select stocks such as Tata Steel, Infosys and L&T  with Shshank Mehta, Independent Derivative Analyst:

SmartInvestor : Markets have remained range bound since early trades today. The Nifty has maintained levels of over 6,100. What is your call on the benchmark for Feb options?
    
Shshank Mehta : I observe writer in Call Options holding ground at 6200 strike hinting that the traders see upside limited to 6200 levels. I would recommend, however, that market is getting ready for a upmove with a target of 6350. A prudent way to trade this patience testing narrow range market is to buy Call Options at 6300 strike for Mar'14 Series and wait for the upmove to take place.
