Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty

The Nifty 50 tracks 50 of the largest companies listed on the National Stock Exchange of India and is the most watched measure of the Indian market, alongside BSE’s Sensex. Bank Nifty (Nifty Bank) tracks India’s largest banks and is one of the most actively traded index derivatives in the world.

Why does NIFTY1! differ from NIFTY?

The index is calculated from the prices of its 50 stocks. The futures are a contract for a future date, so their price includes the cost of carry until expiry and usually sits a little above the index (a “premium”), shrinking towards zero at expiry.

What does “1!” mean on TradingView?

NIFTY1! is TradingView’s continuous contract: it always shows the current front-month future and rolls to the next at expiry, so the chart can jump at the switch. NIFTY2! is the next month.
