The futures markets do not stipulate any separate stock limit for goods.The stock limits apply to actual physical stocks of notified commodities in the States which issue such limits.The commodity futures markets, however, stipulate limit on open position which an individual operator or a member can hold on any given day.Each commodity has specified open position limits for each member of an Exchange and for clients trading through them.The maximum limits on open position prescribed for some of the important agricultural commodities traded on the Exchange platform is given in Annexure.
