Frequently asked questions
What does the Cash-Futures Arbitrage screen show?
The Cash-Futures Arbitrage screen lists NSE- and BSE-listed stocks that currently meet a specific set of filters: Annualized basis ≥ 5%. It is an automated, rules-based filter that surfaces companies matching those numbers — Stocks where the futures premium over spot (annualized) is wide enough to be worth investigating for a cash-and-carry arbitrage.. It is an informational research tool, not a curated list of recommendations.
What are the exact criteria for the Cash-Futures Arbitrage screen?
A stock appears in Cash-Futures Arbitrage when it satisfies Annualized basis ≥ 5%. Every company in the list passes all of these conditions at the time of the most recent data refresh. You can open any stock to see how it meets each condition.
How often is the Cash-Futures Arbitrage list updated?
The list is recalculated on our regular data-refresh cycle. Price- and volume-based screens update through the trading day, while fundamentals-based screens update as new financial data becomes available. The stocks shown reflect the latest available data, not a fixed or historical snapshot.
Can I customise or save the Cash-Futures Arbitrage screen?
Yes. You can start from Cash-Futures Arbitrage and adjust the thresholds, add or remove filters, and combine it with other conditions to build your own screen. Free users can run all presets and save a limited number of custom screens.
Are the stocks in Cash-Futures Arbitrage buy or sell recommendations?
No. Cash-Futures Arbitrage is a neutral, informational filter that shows which stocks currently match a mathematical set of conditions. It does not constitute investment advice and is not a buy, sell, or hold recommendation. Always do your own due diligence or consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before investing.
Does a stock appearing in Cash-Futures Arbitrage mean it is a good investment?
Not necessarily. Meeting the criteria only tells you the stock matches those specific numbers today — it says nothing about future performance, valuation fairness, or the quality of the underlying business. Treat the results as one input among many.
