F&O Stock List With Lot Size: NSE/BSE F&O Price Online | Espresso

Futures and Options Stock List with Lot Size

In the share trading market, futures and options (F&O) are two types of stock derivatives. F&O are known as stock derivates because they are essentially contracts whose prices are derived from underlying assets such as commodities, shares, ETFs and others.

A futures contract lets investors carry out a stock transaction at a specific price for delivery at a future date. In the case of options, the call option helps investors purchase the common stock for a particular price at a future date, while the put option lets them sell the common stock.

Futures and options trading, also referred to as F&O trading, is meant to help investors hedge their investments against future risks with the help of predicted prices. But if the prediction is not accurate, there is always a risk of losses as market movements cannot always be predicted correctly. Investors refer to a stock list when carrying out F&O trading. The new F&O stock list is always updated from time to time.

What is Lot Size in F&O Trading?

A lot is the number of units of an asset that is to be traded. It is the minimum number of units of an asset that you can purchase. Many a time, there is no point in trading a single unit of an asset, and so a lot or the lot size is a quantifier that traders use for their transactions.

An “odd lot” refers to a lot size or amount that is not standardised. It is the market exchange or a market regulator that decides and fixes the value of a lot size. Through the lot size, an investor will always be aware of the asset’s quantity they are trading.

As mentioned before, since stock prices are seldom stable, it is advisable to seek out live stock prices or the latest F&O lot size list. To know more about the F&O stock list with price, you can first take a look at a sample of the NSE or BSE F&O stock list and the lot sizes as given below.
