Nifty: Game of Positions F&O Data analysis

19 lug 2021

Note this is not a recommendation for any trade. But just an analysis of Index F&O trade data for today.

Trading in Futures & Options involves real money and is very risky. It is like a 3 way fight between retail traders, FIIs and Proprietary traders.
In a war, it is important to understand your opposition's strength and weakness. In many war history, we can take lessons, that if you understand your opposition well, you can have a better chance of winning even if you are not as strong as them.

This is to help you understand how various market participants have positioned themselves for tomorrow.

• Retail participants added Net 2.22 K Long contracts & squared off Net 1.39 K Short contracts
• FIIs squared off Net 19.37 K Long contracts & added Net 6.93 K Short contracts

PCR is at 0.81

Today Nifty index has formed a doji candlestick. However it traded most part of the day around 15820 odd levels (3 hourly candles have a close at 15825, 15821, 15820) and then it fell back to close at 15752.

Prima facie looks like buyers of today are at risk.

In our last Game of Positions, we saw FIIs winning the battle by leaps and bounds. Let's see what we have in store tomorrow.

Important levels
on the lower side 15680 / 15628 / 15450

on the upper side 15820 / 15865 / 15915
