What a floorsheet is

Every time shares change hands on NEPSE, the exchange records the trade. The floorsheet is the list of all those trades for a day.

It is public, so anyone can see how many shares traded, at what price, and through which brokers.

The columns

Each row is one trade. These are the columns you will see.

  • Contract number: the trade's ID
  • Symbol: the stock traded
  • Buyer: the buying broker's number
  • Seller: the selling broker's number
  • Quantity: the number of shares
  • Rate: the price per share
  • Amount: quantity times rate

Reading it step by step

You do not need to read every row. A few totals tell most of the story.

  • Pick the stock you care about.
  • Note the total shares and trades.
  • Add up shares by buying broker.
  • Add up shares by selling broker.
  • Compare with the past few weeks.

What it can tell you

Because each row shows broker numbers, you can add up which brokers bought or sold the most of a stock. That is what broker analysis and accumulation tools do for you.

A broker trades for many clients, so a broker number does not reveal who the investor was.

When it is complete

NEPSE trades from Sunday to Thursday, 11:00 to 15:00. A day's floorsheet is complete once the session closes.

What it cannot tell you

The floorsheet does not show why someone traded or what they will do next. Heavy buying through one broker can be one big investor or many small ones.

Use it next to the price chart, volume and the company's results.

A NEPSE example

On 27 Oct 2026, Nabil Bank (NABIL) traded 26,465 shares in 296 trades and closed at Rs 542.

Adding up that day's floorsheet by broker, broker number 75 bought the most: 6,189 shares, about 23% of all shares traded. On the selling side, broker 58 sold the most, 3,267 shares.

Broker 58 also bought 1,933 shares that day, which put it among the top buyers too. It is a reminder that one broker serves many clients on both sides.

The top five buying brokers bought 14,936 shares in total, while the top five sellers sold 10,592. One day of numbers like this is only a clue. It becomes more useful when the same pattern repeats over weeks.
