Understanding MWPL and the table
- MWPL is the maximum aggregate open interest permitted in a stock's derivatives.
- A stock enters the F&O ban when aggregate open interest exceeds 95% of MWPL; while it is in ban, participants may only reduce existing positions.
- Normal trading resumes when aggregate open interest falls to 80% of MWPL or below.
- T-1 is the latest completed trading session, T-2 is the preceding completed session, and Change (pp) is T-1 MWPL utilisation minus T-2 MWPL utilisation in percentage points.
