Long Unwinding occurs when a stock's price falls and its open interest also falls. Falling OI on a down move means existing long positions are being closed — holders are exiting rather than new shorts entering. It is bearish, but driven by longs leaving rather than aggressive short selling.
This screen lists every F&O stock classified as Long Unwinding in the latest NSE session, ranked by the size of the open-interest reduction.
Strota classifies each F&O stock from the NSE F&O bhavcopy. Long Unwinding = price down + OI down.
Stocks are ranked by absolute OI change percentage — the largest long liquidation sits at the top.
Long Unwinding signals longs exiting, which is bearish but generally less aggressive than fresh Short Buildup. It is a positioning signal, not advice.
What is long unwinding?
Long unwinding is when traders holding long futures positions close them out. It shows up as price falling while open interest falls — the decline is driven by longs exiting, not by new shorts.
How is long unwinding different from short buildup?
Both are bearish with falling price. In Short Buildup open interest rises (fresh shorts entering); in Long Unwinding open interest falls (existing longs exiting). Short buildup is the more aggressive bearish signal.
How is the list calculated?
Strota classifies every F&O stock from the NSE F&O bhavcopy. Price down + OI down is tagged Long Unwinding, then ranked by the size of the OI change.
How often does it update?
Every trading session once the NSE F&O bhavcopy is processed (around 6:30 PM IST), and live during market hours when a broker feed is connected.
