Is there a limit on my futures order size on NSE?
Yes, the futures order has two criteria that need to be met:
1) Price Limit – In the case of stock futures, the price has to be within the range of +/-20% of the previous trading day’s closing price. In the case of index futures, the price has to be within the range of +/- 10% of the previous day’s closing price.
2) The exchange constantly updates the quantity limit for futures. You can find the blog post on Quantity Freeze Limits – What You Need To Know. It needs to be noted that the exchange may change these criterion based on volatility.
