Futures & Options Filters
Filters on F&O contracts now on screener
Firstly, a huge thanks to all of you for the appreciation and constructive feedback you have shared with us in the last month for screener
We are constantly working towards providing the best stock discovery experience. Since our launch in May, we received a lot of requests for providing filters for future and option contracts. You can now screen stocks futures and options filters on screener – making it a one-stop comprehensive stock screening solution
To access F&O filters, you can click on the big blue ‘Add Filters’ button on the bottom left of your screen. Here, you can see the relevant categories at the bottom. You can also simply type the filter name in the search box at the top
Inside the F&O filter categories, you would be able to screen stocks on the following filter types
- Basic filters like F&O contract close price, lot size, volume and open interest
- Calculated filters like change in volume, open interest levels and put call ratio
- Derived filters like fair value of the futures contract
- Rollover filters like calendar spread, percentage rollover and rollover cost
- Arbitrage filters like fair value spread and cash and carry profit
- Strikes for options with highest open interest and highest OI percentage changes
You can read the detailed descriptions for every single filter in our Filter Guide here
F&O screens
We have also put up some readymade screens built using these F&O filters. Just click on the All screens button on the top left of your screen to see the screens dropdown:
Screens like long and and short buildup will help you screen for stocks where corresponding momentum is building up. For example, Fut: Long Build Up screen will give you a list of stocks which have seen a positive OI change in the last 5 days along with increasing prices. This is generally considered a bullish indicator
We also have a screen for identifying candidates for cash and carry arbitrage. The screen gives you a list of stocks where its most profitable to execute a cash and carry arbitrage trade along with indicative profit that can be realized. You can read more about the screen here
As always, you can also build and save your own F&O screens
A webinar on F&O Filters/Screens was conducted on 11th July. Watch it here
Happy screening!

Hi Nithin and Team, This is to inform you that my ledger is wrongly updated for 24th August. It is showing two entries for exposure margin debit entry. I had 4 lac in my demat account as on 23rd August and today there is an additional debit entry of 172813 rs as stated earlier. Please check and correct this as I am trading in futures with Zerodha for last couple of years. If any artefacts required i will provide.
Look forward for your quick response.
Thank you.

Hi Nitin,
I have heard a lot about you man and your company – doing good stuff lately. Good stuff – keep it up!!!
I want to ask one thing – is it possible to virtually do FNO trading on your company app. I understand NSE had a similar application – NSE Pathashala but for some reason it is discounitued now. Perhaps you know the reason.
I want to get into it eventually but would like to try my hand virtually first before getting onto the real platform.
Please let me know
Thanks and all the best!
Hey Manish. Thanks for the kind words. 🙂 Not sure why Pathshaala is closed. I’m afraid we don’t have a virtual trading environment available at the moment.
How do I put a Bracket order for an option with a Trailing stop loss?
Let me take an example, I already have an SBI option with CMP of INR 5. I want to sell it (target) at 7, with a stop loss at 4 and a trailing stop loss of INR 0.1 (10 paisa). I am using Kite app, and it takes Absolute values for BO. And it doesn’t me me put a Trailing SL value of 0.1 (1 is the minimum)!
Can someone pls tell me how to place this order?
Thanks in advance!
I just want to ask one question to Nitinji that when an orderin nifty/banknifty option is rejected and reason is given that the LTP is based on percentage of strike price what does it mean ? Trade cannot be done. Or there is an another way to place order ? If trade is not possible then how the LTP is changing. Someone must be buying and someone is selling. Please clarify .
Falguni, the exchange has a limit on how much percentage of the marketwide OI a given trading member can have. As such, in order to avoid hitting that limit, we don’t allow far out of the money contracts, as if the limits are hit, new orders and all pending orders are cancelled by the exchange. To avoid this, the tradable strikes are limited. This also mitigates the inherent risks of trading deep OTM options. Read more about this here.
Today I traded in F&O but in normal, limit price Disclose quantity could not be put due to which I had to split quantity/How to make it work?
Disclosed quantity isn’t allowed for F&O Ramesh.
why rupees 20 only why not any other figure?
So, when we started, Nifty was at around 3000 and the lot size was 100. The minimum brokerage at the time was 0.01%, which meant to buy & sell one lot, the brokerage was 60-80 rupees. Our idea was to be able to charge people paying this brokerage at least 50% of what they were paying. Hence Rs. 20.
Where can I get real-time data of 6,14,30 days EMA values of stocks.
Kindly make a seperate Fund Segment for MUTUAL FUND same like equity and commodity.
It will be extremely helpful for mutual fund investor.
Is there any plan to introduce it ?

Hi Nithin Kamath,
Sir, Its been more than 2 months i have opened my account with zerodha just because all my friends recommended. when i had opened the account online i have given each n every doc. including my financial proof (bank statement) since last one and a half month I’m calling my sale manager Kadambhari Gohil regarding F&O concern. Its a very small concern I’m just saying to enable my F&O and cdx segments? i can’t trade F&O without that because its not enabled. From last month whenever i get time i called her but the issue is same not solving. so many times i have given email’s also and the reply is same “I’ll let you know?”. Please I request you to enable those segments (F&O and Currency) ! Please Help Me!
Should be enabled now.
can we pledge our MF and trade in equities future against them?
unable to find FNO Screener.
How to load it.
i have recently opened account with zerodha…but on trying NFO trading it is saying “exchg not enabled for this acct”…what does this mean? do i need to do anything to enable F&O trading?
Shafeeq, in order to trade F&O, you need to submit an income proof. Email a 6-month bank statement to support[at]zerodha.com.
Dear Nitin sir,
Kindly tell your KITE software developing team to develop / modify software so that we can keep VWAP indicator like in seperate window like RSI/ AROON / MACD indiacator which is always combine with candle chart. Please make it seperate with 25.4278 (0.0000) four digit accuracy.
Thanks in advance.

Does screener provide data about change in OI wgar is time lag for real time data
The smallcase screener only shows end of day data.
Hi Nithin,
FNO section for future and option trading, I have added some quantity in next day it’s showing correct average in options.After i have sell out some quantity, average not showing properly its take fresh call average on Monday morning, its little confusion for you, please can you resolve ASAP.not properly averaging.
Equity also I BUY 100 quantity holding 10 days after sell out again buying same day in my portfolio which price i bout quantity it’s not showing.Average quantity and showing less price.
Hey Bharat, not sure what you’re trying to say. Can you please email details to social[at]zerodha.com? Will have this checked.
I opened my account with zerodha some time back but did not sign in FNO section for future and option trading as i did not have any knowledge about the same. Is there a way to get FNO trading activated in my account? My Zerodha ID Is @8YPV278
Hey Jeetendra, download the segment activation form from https://zerodha.com/resources and courier it over to us along with a proof of income to enable F&O trading for your account.
Please clarify the following :
i) In FNO If I traded in the month of NOVEMBER-2017 & I Selected Optoion of Expiry December 28th 2017
In FNO Can I give Sell Option without holding the Stock in my Holdings.
ii) In FNO if it executed can I Buy on the same day or next day by choosing a profit price … will it be possible or should I wait upto the given option of Decemeber-2017.
iii) Please confirm there are two options in FNO while trading A) NORMAL & B) MIS If I choose NORMAL I have to pay full Amount …. If I choose MIS I have to pay the Margin amount in FNO based on Stock and it is valid upto the expiry period as mentioned in Trading Options.
1) Yes, you can. All equity and index contracts are cash settled. You may want to explore the F&O module on Varsity for more.
2) You can buy a contract and sell it very next minute.
3) MIS is an intraday product type. If you buy a contract using MIS, all positions will be squared off by 3.20 PM. If you wish to carry the position overnight, you need to use the NRML product type. You can learn more about order types here.
Is it Live F&O Scanner ?If not then no use .
Dear Mr. Nithin, I just have 2 questions about the brokerage charged by zerodha.
1. If I buy 5 lots of nifty index options and square off 1 lot of it 5 times on the same day, will the brokerage charged be the same as when I square off the entire 5 lots in one go ?
2. As I’m a small trader, it is a bit scary to trade 5 lots or 10 lots in one go. Instead, If I guarantee to trade a minimum of 10 lots per day but in one lot size (i.e. 10 times), will you consider the same brokerage of Rs. 40 for this?
thanks.
I want to do future contract. Can you tell me how to log in to future contract in zerodha.
Hi,
I opened my account with zerodha some time back but did not sign in FNO section for future and option trading as i did not have any knowledge about the same. Is there a way to get FNO trading activated in my account?
Thanks
Hey Mukesh, in that case, you will have to send us the segment addition page (Page 5 of the account opening form) and your income proof. You can submit your latest 6 months bank statement as income proof and it needs to be self-attested.
Hii sir good evening ‘ is there any automated trading software in zerodha ?
I’m afraid automated trading isn’t allowed for retail traders in India. You can, however, semi-automate your trades using Pi, our desktop trading platform. If you’re a developer, you would also be interested in Kite Connect.
Can we buy sell options after market with amo order?
You can place an order for the next day using an AMO order. Check this post for more.

Hi Ashish, this is only for when you buy a smallcase with the screened stocks or invest in one of the readymade smallcases on the platform
http://help.smallcase.com/zerodha-kite-integration/logging-inauthorization
Does it mean that even to view filters we need to give permission for access?
There is no way to deny the permission. If denied I could not log in.
Thanks
Ashish
Hi Ashish, yes – that’s how it works right now. No worries about the permissions, we can’t & won’t do anything without your approval each time

Where can I find the interest charges if any on the Q?
Go to Q.zerodha.com and look at the ledger.
So will there be an entry pertaining to it?
Cause I only see span margin debit/credit and F and O obligation amounts
Also it will typically reflect in the charges right?
Like in absolute P and L
I was wondering where can i find link for interest calculation charged on margin for overnight positions.
I had cash margin of 1.5 lakhs and collateral margin of 5 lakhs approx, I had taken overnight position of 5.5 lakhs, however I think Zerodha has a rule where they will fund 50 percent free of cost of collateral margin that is 1.5 lakhs in this case. So the interest chargeable is on 2.5 lakhs @0.05 percent per day.
Is this correct?
Also is there a calculator for same, i do more of covered calls so need to understand the cost of carry.
Yes that is correct. Don’t have a calculator on this, will try to get this added.
one more thin man
if I wanna place a buying bid on options then ur executive told me to place the range on sl order

hey Nithin how r u ?
Is pi available on IOS??
Not available.
Hi Nithin,
I have just opened my account in Zerodha and did few transactions. When I got my contract note, I found few missing details. Strike price of Option brought and sold were not available in that contract note. I raised this to support team two weeks back but there is no response from them even after numerous follow ups. Ticket number is 445389.
Request your intervention here.
Hi Nithin,
Trust your team working on this. I am still getting incomplete contract notes.
Hi
Do you accept MF units as collateral for stock futures margin which we can pledge n trade.
Thanks
Not yet.
Goodevening Nitin,
I just needed to know how we could keep shares in my dmat account with zerodha as collateral for stock futures margin and information on the haircut for exposure for eligible scripts. Please advise, regards
You can pledge shares online through which you’ll receive margins for trading F&O. There’s more on it here: https://zerodha.com/z-connect/tradezerodha/margin-requirements/online-pledging-of-stocks-for-trading-fo
Coin platform lacks custom investment option, for example
I want to invest 500 rs daily in the mutal fund when market is open to make the daily average
or
I want to invest 500 rs every alternate day in a mutual fund. Your thoughts @Nitin?
I am talking about NOT SIP but one time buy opportunity.
I am already doing it and it becomes tough to manage, Not interested in SIPs as I am not looking for commitments of monthly fixed investments. Currently I am investing Rs 500 daily in the mutual funds.
Will pass your feedback on to the right people.
What as a trader need to trade options on kite is a list showing all strike prices along with columns showing call/put/premiums/bid/ask/delta/implied volatility etc..for a script selected to make buy/sell as an easy process.Also one needs a combined order placement for any vertical spreads buy/sell etc..You are not showing any interest give important data like delta, volatility etc.. May be interested in gambling type of investors.
Not happy with the your process of moving forward.
Wake up and do first thing first.
Thanks,
D.Rajendran.
Some Indices data missing
In your application Pi, I am not able to find any data for some NSE as well as BSE indices. Even in web application Kite, data for some indices is missing.
For eg., in Pi, there is no information of NSE indices like Nifty Metal, Nifty Realty, Nifty Private Banks etc. Similarly, there is no availability of BSE indices like BSE Telecom, BSE Infra etc.
Please include data and charts for all Indices too.
Thanks,
Roopak Sharma

Is there a fundamental data provider in india like bloomberg terminal .is there any way to obtain correct fundamental data to make trading decisions
Hi Akhil, smallcase (screener) gets its data from Thomson Reuters, one of the most trusted & reliable data feed providers globally
Hi sir , what will happen for the below situations given , ( all are just examples , not real values )
i think one stock will rise from here CMP is 90
if i sell one 100 PE strike at premium Rs.10 and with buy 90 PE strike at premium Rs.8.
if the stock cross abv 100 at expiry or before , i will get 2 Rs profit ,and both the PE values will be zero , ie .05 paise
what if there is no buyer at expiry end ? how will i square of my PE bought and PE sold ?
will any extra stt for that PE sold ?
I doesn’t matter if there is no opposite party to the transaction on expiry day. Everything will get settled to zero. Suggest you go through the F&O module here: https://zerodha.com/varsity/
Nithin,
Are there any plans to integrate Kite, Coin, SmallCase, Balance, Q (Crux) into a single consolidated one place do all, check all – balances, positions, portfolio? I do understand that a couple of them are spin-offs or RainMatter funded ideas, however a consolidated accounts page will help to see the big picture.
As of now, its 4-5 different tabs on a browser and have to manually reconcile the holdings.
-Hari
Yep, we have plans to integrate all and give an overall portfolio view.
Yes and please on the mobile too. A single one-stop app. Thanks!
Hi Nitin, the below details are about Zerodha’s DP (Depository participant) charges taken straight from Zerodha’s website.
DP (Depository participant) charges
₹13.5 per scrip per day(irrespective of quantity) debited from demat account when stocks are sold. ₹5.5 per MF (irrespective of quantity) debited from demat on redemption. Charged by depository (CDSL) and depository participant (Zerodha)
Could you in simple words make us understand the paragraph above? It seems to me that Zerodha is not charging brokerage to equity investors but charging a heavy dp charge of 13.5 rupees per day for each scrip once sold. If this is true then how is it beneficial for equity investors? Brokerage is nil but DP charge is higher than most other brokerage firms. Its practically the same with the other expensive broking houses.
Sandip, it is Rs 13.5 the day it is sold, not for everyday it is held. That would be ridiculous if we charged that way. I have answered here. Also, we are the lowest in market when it comes to DP charges also. Most brokers charge between Rs 20 to Rs 30 per day or 0.04% whichever is higher.
Dear Nithin,
1. Is it possible that “DP Charges for X” may reflect the X’s previous day. In my ledger I’m able to identify like that.
2. Are DP charges applicable to Intraday Trading?
Thanks.
1. DP charges is debited on the day you sell shares from your demat on the ledger.
2. No
Hi Nitin,
I have to come up to you. I use to trade with zerodha earlier with nest and I was fed up with that system so I left zerodha then you came up with new system so again open up new account lots of new features artificial etc…..
still it does not have basic capability I cant customize how I m comfortable with the system. Please use trade tiger it is honestly awesome system.
Only issue is that their brokerage that’s why I m here. I check with your support site also they are saying we are still
working.
you have good team at least push the system for basic capability every time new update come whole setting gone
if there is more then one work space it overwrite charts does recognize pattern, list is long..

Nisar
Are you using Kite Nisar? Have you checked this playlist on all that you can do?
No I m using PI.
Is ther any decision by Higher tax authorities about the turnover.Pl. give the details.
Nothing as such.
Hello,
Ex: If my ledger balance is 1,00,000 on jan 1st, On next day jan 2nd ledger balance will get less if holding futures are in loss (less than 1,00,000)
but if holding futures are in profit at that time ledger balance will remain same as of jan 1st (same 1,00,000)
i have to wait for jan 2nd night to get my ledger balance update
Because of this i am missing margin money on jan 2nd to buy/sell.
Kite software should update the margin available according to profit/loss of holding future contracts.
It always moves in negative balance direction when holdings are in loss
when holdings are in profit it will not add positive balance.
Deepak, unfortunately exchange removes money immediately, but credits it after 1 day in case of profits. That is how it works.
if the Turnover is over 1 crore the account has to be audited.for turnover figure of value of contracts is taken or it is profit/loss over one crore?
Check this module: https://zerodha.com/varsity/module/markets-and-taxation/

dear kite charting is good but could you add another feature for drawing parallel lines from already a drawn line …
it helps in exact drawings .. for now i roughly draw a parallel line which is never exact (for me atleast) … that would be great thanks
You can draw Horizontal/Vertical straight lines using the ‘Drawing’ tool available on Kite.
probably,a wrong forum to post this but I am unable to pose queries on zerodha varsity.urgent help required.
thanks in advance
Are you facing this for a specific topic? I checked and was able to post comments.

Hi Nithin,
I am a learner and interested in doing Trading. On reading an article in newspaper about your company, called Zerodha and enquired about how to do trading as a new comer. The response I received is not very satisfying and not convinced completely. The person to whom I spoke is only interested creating an account with me. I need more information on like what is trading, how to do trading, where to invest kind of stuff as a starter. Is there any one in Zerodha very experienced Trader where I can talk to him and clear my doubts…? Can you give their contact email or phone no. Can you plz point me in right direction – Thanks
Kiran, you should check out : https://zerodha.com/varsity/ and videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/zerodhaonline/playlists

Hi Nitin,
Is it possible for you to show the margin required when placing a “Bracket Order” in Futures. As the Stop Loss is blocked in a bracket order you can make a provision to show the margin required (which can be less than the actual margin i.e. the margin without a Bracket Order) as per SL which is the first leg.
Margin requirement for an order without the Bracket Order can also be displayed when the trader is placing the order.
I have mentioned the above so that the trader need not go to the Margin calculator every time he wants to place a call. As the trades in futures are very fast a trader is bound to lose valuable time getting the margins from the margin calculator.
Future trading requires big margin and the whole of it gets blocked in one call for most of the traders.
This may help you to popularize Bracket Order concept and increase volumes
Secondly the target price (second leg) can be optional in a Bracket Order as the trader can decide on it.
ShareKhan has the above facility which is quite beneficial.
Hope you give a thought to it.
Regards,
Nikhilesh
Yes Nikhilesh,on our list of things to do.
Hi, How can we see/access option chain data with a click on a stock (anywhere else) and their performance in Kite or Pi
