Quick Answer
Every day after market close, NSE publishes a free downloads hub —
nseindia.com/all-reports — with Bhavcopy, FII/DII activity, VaR margin files, 52-week high/low data and historical archives. This guide breaks down exactly which reports matter for CPR and Price Action traders, and how to use them.
At Trading Direction, we always say — "Price action is king, and data is its proof." The NSE All Reports page is exactly that proof. It's the same official data source behind tools like the NSE Option Chain, NSE Heatmap and NSE Bhavcopy that traders search for daily — except here it's structured for download and backtesting, not just a live snapshot. In this article, we'll break the page down section by section and show you exactly how a serious trader should use it.
What Is the NSE All Reports Page?
NSE All Reports (nseindia.com/all-reports) is the exchange's official downloads hub. It's split into four major segments:
- Capital Market (Equities & SME) — Bhavcopy, delivery data, 52-week high/low, margin files
- Derivatives — F&O bhavcopy, open interest, margin files
- Debt — corporate bond and G-Sec trade reports
- EGR (Electronic Gold Receipts) — gold receipts trading data
Within each segment you'll find Daily Reports, Monthly Reports, Archives and Historical Reports tabs — meaning you can pull today's data or go back several years.

How to Verify CPR Levels Using Bhavcopy
In the Trading Direction CPR Brahmastra Strategy, we calculate Pivot, TC and BC from the previous day's High, Low and Close. Most students check these levels on their broker's charting tool, which is usually accurate — but data feeds occasionally differ slightly between vendors. NSE's Bhavcopy is the exchange's own official record, which makes it your "source of truth."
- Go to the NSE All Reports page and select the "CM - Bhavcopy (csv)" report.
- Choose the date you need and download it — the file opens directly in Excel.
- Pull out the High, Low and Close for your watchlist stock.
- Apply the formula: Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3, TC = (High + Low) / 2, BC = (2 × Pivot) − TC.
- Match this against your CPR indicator's levels — if there's a mismatch, check your data feed source.
FII/DII and Sector Data: What the Big Players Are Doing
The All Reports page also carries "Position/Investment Limits" and participant-wise position files that show whether institutional players are leaning long or short. For sector-level conviction, we combine this with Trading Direction's own portfolio and sector-rotation research — the same approach we used when analyzing sector allocation with Screener.in and Trendlyne data.
Trading Direction Tip: Before taking any Narrow CPR breakout, check that day's Market Activity Report. If overall declines outnumber advances, even a bullish breakout in an individual stock may carry weak conviction.
Backtest Your Strategy Using Historical Reports
The "Historical Reports" section on the NSE All Reports page holds security-wise and index-wise archives going back several years. This is one of the most valuable resources for students who want to manually backtest the CPR Brahmastra or Narrow CPR strategy:
- Security-wise Archives — download multi-year OHLC for any stock and build your own CPR width % study
- Historical Index Data (NIFTY 50) — calculate a win-rate for Narrow vs Wide CPR days on the index
- Bulk Deals / Block Deals Archives — track large institutional trades, which often precede continuation after a breakout
Other NSE Pages Worth Bookmarking

3 Mistakes to Avoid When Downloading Reports
- Calculating CPR from Close price alone — High and Low matter just as much; use adjusted values where the report specifies.
- Ignoring delivery % — high volume with low delivery is often just intraday speculation, not a genuine trend.
- Deciding off a single day's data — always cross-check the last 3-5 trading days to confirm the pattern.
A Practical Workflow for Trading Direction Students
If you follow the CPR Brahmastra Strategy, here's a simple routine we suggest:
- Download NSE Bhavcopy about 30-45 minutes after market close.
- Note the Narrow CPR and delivery % for the top 15-20 stocks on your watchlist.
- Check the Market Activity Report for the overall advance/decline bias.
- Prepare your next-day trade plan — entry, stop loss and target, all against CPR levels.
- Once a week, update your Nifty CPR journal using Historical Index Data.
