F&O Market Pulse

What you can do here

Pulse is a totals panel for the whole stored session. It ignores the underlying, contract-kind and expiry selectors: the only scope control that changes it is the session date. Futures and options totals are shown separately, along with OI Added and OI Reduced. These last two are the positive and negative branches of the same net OI change across the session's rows, not gross additions versus gross reductions. Read the report date, then use OI Intelligence, Futures or Reports to examine the records behind a surprising aggregate.

• Compare futures and options activity without mixing their units.
• Use the underlying contract sections for detail rather than assuming every total is clickable.

From numbers to understanding

1. 01

   OI is a position measure; contracts/volume is activity, and turnover is monetary value.

2. 02

   Futures and options turnover may use report-specific conventions and should not be equated with cash invested.

3. 03

   OI Added and OI Reduced are the positive and negative parts of one net OI change, not gross additions and gross reductions.

4. 04

   Large totals or a zero reduction require source validation rather than an automatic positioning narrative.

5. 05

   Pulse is whole-session and is not narrowed by underlying, contract kind or expiry.
