John Cockerill India Limited

What it is. Of all shares traded in a day, the part that was settled by delivery: the buyer receives the shares in their demat account. NSE counts this per client, so the rest is shares a client bought and sold within the same day (intraday).

How to read it. NSE publishes the share for every stock every day. Stocks differ in how much they are traded within the day, so compare a stock with its own past rather than with another stock. A 5-day figure smooths out single-day noise.

Does not show: Who the buyers were, or whether they plan to keep the shares.

What it is. Margin Trading Facility lets a broker pay part of the price of shares a client buys. The client pays a margin, and the shares bought are held as security. The MTF book is the shares financed this way across all brokers, with the rupee amount.

How to read it. A rising book means more shares are financed with broker loans; a falling book means loans were repaid or shares sold. "% of equity" puts the count next to the company's total shares. The exchange publishes each day's figure the next day.

Does not show: Which brokers or clients are behind it.

What it is. Securities Lending and Borrowing: holders lend shares to borrowers for a fee, for a fixed period of 1 day to 12 months, through the exchange. The open position is the shares lent out and not yet returned.

How to read it. A rising open position means more shares are on loan; a falling one means loans were returned. "% of equity" puts the count next to the company's total shares.

Does not show: Why a borrower borrowed the shares.
