Honest boundaryA scan describes what a stock has already done, measured against its own history; membership of this list is a description, never an entry · descriptive, not a signal.
| Symbol | Price | Day % | Futures OICounted in SHARES, not in contracts and not in rupees. It is the exchange's own figure for how many shares' worth of a contract are still open, summed across expiries. A raw reading of a few hundred million is therefore normal, and means shares. | OI change % | PCRTotal put OI ÷ total call OI. >1 = more puts open than calls (hedging / contrarian floor); <1 = call-heavy. A sentiment read, not a verdict. | Basis %Near-month future vs spot, as a %. Positive (premium) = futures richer than cash (bullish carry); negative (discount) = bearish carry. | Rank in scan |
