This trading object lets you download historical open interest data for several stocks listed on the National Stock Exchange, NSE.
The National Securities Clearing Corporation Limited (NSCCL), which is a clearing and settlement agency for the deals that are executed on the futures and options market , reports daily the market wide position limit, MWPL, and open interest of stocks trading on the NSE. This data can be found on the National Stock Exchange website and is downloaded, decompressed (ZIP file), and parsed by this trading object.
The extracted numbers are stored in a custom database "nse_openint" that has two fields:
Market-wide position limit: The MWPL refers to the total number of contracts that are allowed to be held by a trader at one time and for a given scrip.
Open Interest: Open interest refers to the total number of options/futures contracts that are not delivered or closed for a given security and for a particular day.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
