FAQ
Is this the continuous front-month series or individual contracts?
Individual contracts, dated by expiry, so you can build whatever continuous series your roll convention requires rather than inheriting someone else's. Rolling on volume and rolling on days-to-expiry give measurably different backtests.
Does NIFTY futures data include open interest?
Yes, on every bar, alongside open, high, low, close and volume.
Does SENSEX futures data include open interest?
On most dates. SENSEX futures 1-min: OI is 0 on 17 days in Jul–Nov 2024, from 26 Dec 2025 – 3 Jul 2026 and 17–26 Aug 2026; present otherwise.
Should I use futures or spot as the underlying for an options backtest?
Futures, in almost every case. The spot index is not tradeable, carries no basis and cannot be shorted, so a hedge modelled against spot will not reproduce in live trading. Both series are included in the Complete packs so you can compare.
Is futures data included with the options packs?
Not with options-only packs. Futures and spot are not included in options-only packs: they come in the Complete packs (options + futures + spot) or as the separate NIFTY Futures + Spot pack.
