Frequently asked questions
What is the F&O ban period?
When open interest in a stock's futures and options crosses 95% of the Market Wide Position Limit (MWPL), the stock enters the F&O ban period. During the ban no new positions can be opened; existing positions can only be closed.
What is MWPL?
The Market Wide Position Limit is the cap on total open interest across all participants in a stock's futures and options. MWPL % is futures-equivalent open interest as a share of that limit.
Why is a banned stock below 95% MWPL?
The ban lifts only once open interest falls back below 80% of MWPL, so a stock can stay banned well under 95%. The status column follows the exchange's official ban list for the day, not the MWPL % figure.
What does Near Ban mean?
The stock is not on the ban list, but its open interest is at least 80% of MWPL. This list shows every stock currently in or near the ban.
How often is this list updated?
