F&O ban regulations and implications
The F&O ban list is regulated by the Market Wide Position Limit (MWPL), which limits the total open interest in a stock’s futures and options contracts. When open interest exceeds 95% of the MWPL, the stock enters the F&O ban, restricting traders from taking new positions and allowing only squared-off positions. These measures aim to maintain market stability and prevent excessive speculative trading in high-volatility stocks.
