Live Futures — NIFTY, Bank Nifty, Stocks & Commodities

The fixed quantity of the underlying in one futures contract — e.g. NIFTY 65, Bank Nifty 30, Reliance 500.

Lot Size × price — the total value of the underlying one contract controls.

The fraction of contract value posted to trade a future. It is what makes futures a leveraged instrument.

The most recent price at which the futures contract traded.

The move of the futures price versus the previous close, shown in points and percent.

The three monthly expiries listed at once — current, next and third month. Most volume is in the near month.

Closing an expiring near-month contract and reopening it in the next month to keep a position alive. Rollover % is a sentiment gauge.

The gap between the futures price and the spot price. Futures usually trade at a premium (contango) and converge to spot by expiry.

The total number of outstanding futures contracts. Rising OI with rising price signals long build-up.

The last trading day of a contract — the last Thursday of the month for NSE stock and index futures.

Each row is one contract (near, next or far month). Read the LTP (last price), Change and Chg % versus previous close, the day’s Open/High/Low, traded Volume, and the Lot Size — the fixed quantity per contract.

Lot size is the fixed quantity of the underlying in one futures contract — for example NIFTY 65, Bank Nifty 30 and Reliance 500. One contract controls Lot Size × price worth of the underlying.

NSE lists three monthly expiries at once — the current (near) month, the next month and the far month. Most trading volume is concentrated in the near-month contract.

Rollover is closing an expiring near-month contract and reopening the position in the next month. The rollover percentage near expiry is a closely-watched indicator of whether traders are carrying positions forward.

You post a margin — a fraction of the contract value set by the exchange (SPAN + exposure) — rather than the full value, which is what makes futures leveraged. Margins vary by underlying and volatility.

A future obligates both sides to transact at expiry and moves one-for-one with the underlying. An option gives the buyer a right (not an obligation) for a premium. Futures have no strike price; options are organised in an option chain by strike.
