πŸ“› What’s F&O Ban?
Stock goes into ban when combined Open Interest (OI) of both Future & Options contracts across series & across exchanges exceeds 95% of Market Wide Position Limit (MWPL)
Reason for stock going in ban is to curb EXCESSIVE SPECULATION
πŸ“› What happens when stock goes into β€˜FNO ban’?
-One CANNOT take Fresh positions
-But CAN square off existing position
πŸ“› Can you trade?
Yes, you can take β€˜INTRA-DAY’ position ONLY if your broker allows
But If intraday position β€˜NOT CLOSED β€˜
Then exchange levies PENALTY of 1% of value of increased position subject to minimum penalty of 5k & max of 1 lakh
πŸ“› When stock is in ban can you reverse an existing position in a stock that is in FNO ban?
'YES'
Example
-If you are long on 2000 Call strike of RIL
-Can reverse with opposite position by selling 2000 Call strike
πŸ“› When does the stock come out of ban?
-When OI falls below 80% of MWPL
