F&O Ban Stocks List – FAQs
1. How Does An F&O Ban Work?
An F&O ban works by restricting the initiation of new futures and options positions for specific stocks. Traders can only square off existing positions. This limitation is enforced when the market-wide position limit exceeds 95%, aiming to curb excessive speculation and maintain market stability.
2. What are the criteria for a ban list in F&O?
The criteria for a ban list in F&O include stocks exceeding 95% of the market-wide position limit. This limit is calculated based on the total number of open interest positions. Once breached, new F&O positions cannot be initiated, but existing ones can be squared off.
3. When does trading resume once it is in the F&O ban list?
Trading in F&O for a stock resumes once its open interest falls below 80% of the market-wide position limit. This reduction indicates decreased speculative activity, allowing the stock to exit the ban list, and new futures and options positions can be initiated again.
4. Why are stocks banned in F&O?
Stocks are banned in F&O to prevent excessive speculation and market manipulation. When open interest exceeds 95% of the market-wide position limit, trading restrictions are imposed to maintain market integrity, ensuring stability and protecting investors from potential volatility and systemic risks.
