Data-mining view of cash participation, delivery, futures activity, open interest and recent positioning.
Last 3 Sessions: Cash Activity & Delivery
| Date | Cash Volume | Number of Trades | Shares Traded per Trade | Delivery % | Close / Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Oct | 21.57 L shares | 60,490 | 35.7 WittyTrades Proprietary |
24.94% | Rs 941.95 (-4.48%) |

Average number of shares traded per trade was 38.4 in the latest session versus a 32.8 3-session average. The latest average trade size was materially above its 3-session baseline, which can flag stronger larger-ticket or institutional-style participation. Latest delivery was 26.9% versus a 3-session average of 27.2%.
Last 3 Sessions: Futures vs Cash Participation
| Date | Near Future / Change | Futures Volume (Shares) | Cash Volume (Shares) | F&O/Cash Participation Ratio | Aggregate Futures OI | Positioning Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Oct | Rs 939.80 (-5.41%) | 39.62 L shares | 21.57 L shares | 1.84x WittyTrades Proprietary |
62.28 L shares (—) | Positioning unavailable |
| 02 Nov | Rs 968.60 (+3.06%) | 12.17 L shares | 8.24 L shares | 1.48x WittyTrades Proprietary |
60.27 L shares (-3.22%) | Short covering |
| 03 Nov | Rs 1,008.50 (+4.12%) | 27.26 L shares | 23.76 L shares | 1.15x WittyTrades Proprietary |

How open interest shifted across expiries
| Expiry | Latest OI | 1-Day OI Change |
|---|---|---|
| 23 Nov | 57.67 L shares | -1.81 L |
| 29 Dec | 67,425 shares | +775 |
| 25 Jan | 21,700 shares | +8,525 |
The front expiry lost OI while later expiries gained OI, confirming contract migration. About 1.5% of aggregate OI sat beyond the front expiry. This is an expiry-structure observation, not a directional signal by itself.
- Whether aggregate futures OI expands or contracts alongside the next price move.
- Whether the WittyTrades F&O/Cash Participation Ratio remains elevated or normalises.
- Whether Shares Traded per Trade moves materially above or below its recent baseline.
- Whether delivery participation holds above or below the recent 3-session average of 27.2%.
- Whether later-expiry OI continues to absorb positions from the front contract as expiry approaches.
Higher Shares Traded per Trade can flag larger-ticket participation, but exchange trade-count data does not identify the buyer or seller category. The F&O/Cash Participation Ratio measures participation intensity and does not by itself distinguish directional trading, hedging or arbitrage.
