Hi CB, Everybody, GE :)
Hi Jack, GE. Let me try to answer your query. First, you asked what is F&O ban period. Well, when any contract in the F&O segment is barred by the exchange for making fresh entry other than offsetting positions, is known as banned. Now, it may so happen that a contract is banned by the exchange for one single day and it may continue to remain in the ban period for subsequent coming days. Whether it will remain banned from trading for more than one day depends on some factors. Now, the question arises for any security which has been banned ---> CRITERIA FOR BAN ???
If a derivative contract of a security has crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit it will be banned for further FRESH ENTRY. If you already have a position in that contract the exchange will allow you to take an opposite position in that contract and nothing else. This may happen in a day or may continue till the day when the market-wide position limit comes below 95%
Your second question was where can you get this info before 1 day or a week. Let me tell you, you cannot get this info before a week. As the data is everchanging, you can only get to know the next day's F&O ban securities. You can get this from NSE website. Also if you are an online trader, you will get this info in your trading terminal as a broadcast message from your broker. If you are not getting it, ask your broker to broadcast the same. Is you are an offline trader, contact your broker before the start of any trading session in the morning and ask for the same. Your broker will definitely give you that day's F&O ban securities info.

Wrote a long post. Hope CB,Kartik will allow and this post will be useful :)

Hi ranjan, GE. Sorry, no idea abt intra-day, can tell u for short-term period...
Bhel is good for short-term and has strong support @228/215, keep this as SL, if crosses 252/255, it may rise further upto 280/300+. Can buy in dips for short-term period and it's in over-sold zone, anytime may give good bounce.
Jsw steel has good support @ 725/707, if breaks, it may fall further, Can buy it in dips near 700-710 level and also a good bet for short-term period.
If u want to hold for 20 days or 1 month, go with BHEL, later can buy Jsw in dips after very little correction...

Hi SM, Ur answer is accurate. Good night:)

You could have included ..gals /dolls , while addressing guys.so was the other song .. thx

As per Federal bank technical research report one should go short in this counter. Federal bank is looking quite weak at current level and is expected to fall further. Positional traders can go short in Federal bank from current level for good gains.
