What is the client wise position limit?

The client-wise position limit is the maximum number of Futures and Options (F&O) contracts you can hold on a single stock or index at any time, as set by the exchange (like NSE).
  1. Why is it important?
    • Regulatory bodies like SEBI set this limit to prevent any single client from holding too many positions, which could manipulate the market or cause systemic risk.
  2. When does it affect your trading?
    • Your F&O order will be rejected if it makes your total open position exceed this limit, even if you have enough margin.
    • This limit is specific to each stock or index and is a percentage of the total open interest or the free-float market capitalization, whichever is higher.
    • It applies to your combined long and short positions.
