Feature
Futures Analysis: NSE FII, DII and Client Positions
TradingLead Futures Analysis charts NSE's published participant-wise open interest in index futures and stock futures for FIIs, DIIs, Pros and Clients. You can compare net positions, longs and shorts, day-to-day net change and long share over up to one year, then export the data as CSV. It shows published reports, not live quotes or price forecasts.
What it does
Futures Analysis shows how different groups of market participants are positioned in NSE futures. Every trading day NSE publishes participant-wise open interest, and TradingLead turns those reports into interactive charts and a data table.
The data is split into two sections, Index futures and Stock futures. Each one covers four participant groups:
- FII: foreign institutional investors
- DII: domestic institutional investors
- Pro: proprietary traders
- Client: other clients, including retail
It is available at tradinglead.in/futures after sign-in, and as a Futures tab in the chart workspace.
How it works
TradingLead plots each published report date. Missing values stay blank instead of being filled in, and the panel labels the data "Not a live quote". You choose which participants to compare and a history range of 30 days, 90 days, 180 days or 1 year.
The available metrics are:
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Net positions | Long contracts minus short contracts |
| Long / short | Gross long and short open interest |
| Net change | Change in net position against the previous published report |
| Long share | Longs as a percentage of that participant's long plus short open interest |
The chart is built for reading, not drawing. You can switch between lines and columns, zoom and pan with the mouse or keyboard, and read values with a crosshair. The data table lists the report date, participant, long, short, net, net change and long share.

Limitations
- This is published, aggregate open interest. It is not the position in the ticker your chart shows, and it is not intraday data.
- The panel itself says that open interest is not a price forecast. Positioning data shows exposure, not direction.
- Options data is not part of this view.
- The panel uses a lightweight chart, so indicators and drawing tools are not available here.
- The /futures page is not shown in the main navigation; it is reachable directly and from the chart workspace.
Access follows your plan; see pricing.
FAQ

Limitations
- Published report data, not live quotes.
