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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 Oct | Rs 967.00 (+3.58%) | 41.57 L shares | 8.41 L shares | 4.95x WittyTrades Proprietary |
63.02 L shares (—) | Positioning unavailable |

How open interest shifted across expiries
| Expiry | Latest OI | 1-Day OI Change |
|---|---|---|
| 23 Nov | 56.45 L shares | -2.92 L |
| 29 Dec | 50,375 shares | +7,750 |
| 25 Jan | 3,100 shares | +2,325 |
The front expiry lost OI while later expiries gained OI, confirming contract migration. About 0.9% 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 32.2%.
- 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.
