We are constantly working towards providing the best stock discovery experience. Since our launch in May, we received a lot of requests for providing filters for future and option contracts. You can now screen stocks futures and options filters on screener — making it a one-stop comprehensive stock screening solution

- Basic filters like F&O contract close price, lot size, volume and open interest
- Calculated filters like change in volume, open interest levels and put call ratio
- Derived filters like fair value of the futures contract
- Rollover filters like calendar spread, percentage rollover and rollover cost
- Arbitrage filters like fair value spread and cash and carry profit
- Strikes for options with highest open interest and highest OI percentage changes
You can read the detailed descriptions for every single filter in our Filter Guide here
F&O screens
We have also put up some readymade screens built using these F&O filters. Just click on the All screens button on the top left of your screen to see the screens dropdown:
Screens like long and and short buildup will help you screen for stocks where corresponding momentum is building up. For example, Fut: Long Build Up screen will give you a list of stocks which have seen a positive OI change in the last 5 days along with increasing prices. This is generally considered a bullish indicator
We also have a screen for identifying candidates for cash and carry arbitrage. The screen gives you a list of stocks where its most profitable to execute a cash and carry arbitrage trade along with indicative profit that can be realized. You can read more about the screen here
You can also build and save your own F&O screens as always
A webinar on F&O Filters/Screens was conducted on 11th July. Watch it here
Happy screening!
