This is true in stock futures also. The F&O buildup is difficult to guess. The CoC may stay positive and analysts will say long buildups seen, suddenly the price will fall with lesser volume in cash segment first. Only later we will realize that massive shorts were created and price will fall. eg. KFA last month.
This is all huffing and puffing signifying nothing. Since there is some one on the other side of each trade, merely claiming only FII did this or that is stoooopid and obviously ill informed.
See who sold from 5180 Nifty to 4550 levels? MS, CS, CLSA and Citi were among the bigger sellers during that time. CLSA clarified they are switching some of the EM funds from India to China. Subsequently who were the buyers during last week? DIIs were net sellers for 4 of the 5 days. FIIs do trade and generate a lot of revenue. FIIs anyway is not a single entity - there are a whole different types of funds. They seem to have some synchronization, which may be a mere coincidence!
Its really stupid and foolish of you to state the obvious. Even an ass understands that trading is always a contract between two parties, buyer and seller. Since FIIs always hedge their position, its an attempt to understand their style of trading. Don`t reveal your upbringing by commenting ill about others. You are the least educated and informed among all the boarders.
