You can trade equity either intraday or delivery on NSE, BSE and MCX-SX. When you take a trade in equity and square the position off before the end of day, it is called as intraday equity trading. You can trade intraday at Zerodha with leverage by using these 2 product types while taking a trade.

When you use this product type, you commit on keeping the trade intraday and hence we give you a leverage between 3 to 10 times based on the risk and volatility of the stock. Our margin calculator tool has a list of all stocks and the MIS leverage you get. Cover orders is a unique feature at Zerodha where you can trade intraday using market orders but with a definite and compulsory stop loss.

Since the risk with such a position is low, the margin required is less and hence the leverage higher. When you trade intraday using cover orders, the leverage you get vary from 6 to 20 times twice as much as MIS.

But again all open positions get squared off around 3. Read this to know more on cover orders. When you buy stock and hold it overnight, it is called a delivery trade. At Zerodha, you need to use product type as CNC while placing a trade to take delivery of equity stock. The product type CNC will show up on your order window only if you have a demat account mapped to your trading account since you would require a demat to take delivery of the equity that you purchase. At Zerodha we provide no leverage when you are executing delivery trades which mean that you if you want to buy Rs 1lk of stock as CNC, you will need this Rs 1lk in your trading account and similarly if you want to sell Rs 1lk of shares with product type as CNC, you will need these shares in your demat account mapped to your trading account.

Futures as such are inherently leveraged which means that to buy X amount of futures you need only a small portion of it called as margin in your account. This margin to buy futures is stipulated by the various exchanges. MIS is used by intraday traders as all open positions get squared off before the end of day.

But since no position is carried forward overnight the margin required is also lesser than the exchange stipulated margins. Using cover orders, you can trade futures with lesser margins than NRML and MIS. Presently Cover order facility is available for equity, commodity and currency futures. When you buy options, either equity or currency there is no additional leverage we provide except in case of market orders where orders may get traded in value excess of funds available in the account.

So if you are buying calls or puts of any contract, the premium required to buy them has to be present in your trading account. You can trade options either with product type as NRML or MIS, but since there is no additional leverage provided if you use product type as MIS, it is advisable not to use MIS while buying options since all MIS positions would get squared off before the close of markets.

When you short an option, the margin required depends on various aspects like underlying, expiry, volatility and more. We are the first brokers in India to have an online SPAN calculator tool which lets you calculate the margin requirement for shorting an option by mocking the position in the tool. You can short option either using the product type as NRML or MIS. Love playing poker, basketball, and guitar.

Suppose your are holding rs 2 lakh worth stocks in ur demat account and have 1 lakh cash, wat wud be the initial margin for intraday trading in Nse Futures or options?

Can I use this margin for intraday equity trading too? Also are there any charges for pledging the stocks? And is it really necessary to send an email for the same? One round trip of pledge and unpledge costs around Rs 55 per scrip irrespective of the quantity. On Q, we are giving an option to place a pledge request.

Asking separately because futures have EoD MTM. So, I believe some cash component will be required so as to avoid small transactions for any shortfall in margin. I am asking from Zerodha margin policy point of view and not risk-cover point of view. I hope it does. If one underlying falls in value reducing over all margin without increasing risk level will there be an auto square off?

The other underlying may be up and that call might be showing a loss. Do I have any control on which position gets squared off? IMO, nothing needs to be squared off since there is no margin risk on any position. They are COVERED calls and any RMS should recognise that fact. If not, is there any way I can mark some position as a covered call position and pledge equivalent number of shares?

Currently we are not, very soon we will as we intend to provide margins without even pledging stocks lying in demat. How much is still not decided. But for now, there is no charge. It will be charged based on how much margin used.

Yes, you are the owner of the stock, you will get benefit of all corporate action. ALL MTM losses has to be paid in cash to the exchange. No, it is all treated as call option writing. No margin benefit you get because you are writing calls on the same stock. You will not have control on what gets squared off first. So it is best to have some additional cash for all MTM losses.

The issue for the exchange is once you have taken the position, what if you first square of the long puts? You will be left with short puts with unlimited risk and only 5k margin…?? Why cant zerodha put a simple rule at the time of closing the contract.

If I try to close the contract without first closing put then I am allowed to do that only if I have the required margin to write Put. If I close both of them in one go, then I am fine.

Hello Team Zerodha, You have been evading answering this for a while. I hope you would own the responsibility of assuring your clients that. Please realize that not answering is not an option. Can you confirm the following that: Your trading platform takes care of stipulated margin requirements when a trader places order in FNO for taking overnight positions? Trader need not worry when your trading platform shows enough acredit balance at the end of trading hours 3: As long as you are taking a position with order type as NRML, stipulated margin requirement will be blocked while placing an order.

Your definition of enough is not clear. But as long as you are having exchange stipulated margin it should be enough and nothing to worry about. That said, the important thing to note is that margin requirements are updated by the exchanges 5 times during the day.

There is a possibility that on an extreme day, the movement in the stock could be so drastic that margin requirement might go up suddenly. When you write deep in the money options, this rule might again not apply.

Same query was posted about 3 weeks back along with a query on algoZ where I also mentioned that Zerodha seems to be ignoring the basics. While answering that query you assured to get back on the margin query but never came back. I always want to play by the rules.

That is the reason I also want that rules are being enforced in spirit and the mechanism to enforce them is not faulty. Helpdesk at one time has said that I can rely only on margin statement. Now that is not just impractical but unfair tooas positions have already been taken relying on your trading platform. And, this keeps happening for many days for without any change in the underlying positions. Snapshots of discrepancies have been sent to compliance dept multiple times.

It would be worth checking your systems for bringing them in sync. Now that I have heard your query out, I can see another reason why the margin statement may differ sometimes. So for eg, if you 5lks in your account and bought 4lks of options. Tomorrow you sell the 4lks of options for 4lks. In tomorrows margin statement we cannot show this 4lks credit because it is not realized. If we have to sync the margin statement with the trading terminal position on this, we will then not be able to allow trade on options carried forward and which is sold.

Hi, I have a doubt, if i sell 10k worth options in morning and can i buy options in the afternoon same worth of 10k. Hello, Your margin policy ref: Hello sir, i want to ask that how many margin zerodha gives for intraday tradingsuppose i having 10,????

Can i trade with Rs after i learn properly i will add more money to account.????? If i use margin in my case let my investment is and i got leverage of 10times then i can total trade for Rs then what interest i have to pay for using margin???????

If you are trading on equity depending on what stock you are trading you get 3 to 10 times. So yes for eg you can buy 50, worth of reliance with only in your account. But this leverage is allowed only for intraday trades and you have to square off by 3.

Sir i checked out the margin policies Excel and found that in cover order the stop loss must be 1. But take this example. If i buy opto circuit at 30 and according to this stop loss should be Now i can buy approx shares.

Yes you can use MIS as product type and you get an option to choose to have a SL or not have a SL. You can choose to place limit order as exit order as well.

Can you tell me what is the interest rate that amount you give us on margin attracts. Ashu, Futures are inherently leveraged and there is no interest that you have to pay to hold that position. Risk of running brokerage business, whichever part of the world. Firstly I hope you are using our SPAN tool for calculating option writing margin, here is a blog on how to use it.

When you write options since the risk is unlimited a margin is blocked and similar to futures this is marked to market and hence need keep your margin requirement updated daily. So if the position starts going against you, you would have to ensure that the minimum required margins are present. These margin requirements are as stipulated by the exchanges, and not really in our control. Also, I get your point of SL and etc, but as you know when blocking margins exchanges have to think about the worst case scenario, is the margin enough if there is a drastic movement in the underlying, which probably happens once or twice every few years.

It is important to not compromise on this risk as both exchange and us as brokers. Yeah, you are right Nithin, I was not considering gap openings and as a broker one must have safe margins.

Still have one more question, on a day like general election results when markets hits double circuits, how do you ensure margins? I have pledged shares worth 6. Though I understand the logic of asking for a balance I still dont understand why you cant let me trade. If there is an MTM at EOD and I do not pay in you have enough stock with you to close the position the next morning. One of the reasons for asking for this cash margin, is because selling a pledged stock is the last resort we want to take.

Sir I am a client of Zerodha and want my ledger balance for a particular fy like or for any specific period than how can I get that. Sir I have a Demat account with another broker and having only trading account with Zerodha and I am having soft copy of the said demat account detail, Further how can I link that account with my trading account at Zerodha with that soft copy details.

Take a print, sign, and send the demat account details to our office in Bangalore asking to map it to your trading account. This will be mapped to your trading account, but do note that when you buy stocks at Zerodha it will go to your demat, but while selling you will have to sell with the same broker whose demat you map.

Thanks for the reply but can I trade with demat of other broker in Zerodha on intraday in equity trade. Yes you can trade intraday equity. Also you can trade futures and options for both intraday and overnight. Hi Have Pledged shares wortth Rs 6. Cash balance of about 50 K. Kept an overnight position which requires a margin of Rs 60 K. This has now been debited to my running account and the balance has gone into negative.

Hi Nitin, as stated by you in janzerodha going to start leverage for delivery in Equity likewise in margin at present e. You can trade 2 lots of Crude Intraday with Rs. Deepak, leverage for delivery based trades is not something which is in our priority list right now. We will think about giving leverage for delivery based trades when we have a DP of our own.

My advice to you is to figure out a good system for trading intraday. Or if you feel your position will make money in a couple of days instead of on the same day, you can trade futures which is already a leveraged product forex trading brokers in uae can be held until the expiry date with just a fraction of the amount.

In that way I could average my risks and stay in assured profit and also generate more brokerage for Zerodha: If I am getting your question correctly, yes you can buy 3 different stocks for Rs 1lk which has 3x margin.

Let me tell you nifty call put option free trial it works, assume you buy 1lk of first stock, if it has 3x leverage, around 33k is blocked in your trading account.

In option writing, When you make a loss, margin required increases, and when you make a profit margin required reduces. So if price is and then today closes atthe margin required will reduce. Thanks lot for quick reply. That means again i should have to pay rupees for the closing of again on the next day. No Nithy, if the price was Rs the previous day and today it closes at Rsyou are in a profit of Rsso you would not have to pay, Rs will be credited to you.

Is the same process for Future selling also? But i read the article. If i sold for Rs. I have to pay 20 rupees from my pocket.

I have to pay only 5 rupees from my pocket compare to previous close. Futures have what is called as daily marked to market. So assuming you sold at Rs and today it closes at 80, R 20 is paid to you as profit. Next day if it closes at Rs 75 you get paid Rs 5 because you again make a iraqi dinar exchange today since you are short, you make money when market goes down.

Hi Nitin, Thanks for the quick reply, Currently I am holding an account with diffrent campony demat account, I wasnted to verify the charges they are doing, so that I can close the account immdeialty if ther is any thing wrong.

On thursday 10th april I had bought shares of compony per share is Rs with NRML typeon same day I could not square off all the shares that I bought in last minute I had kept sell order with market price, in which shares transaction is not completedWhen I check my linked saving account next day 11 th april they have deducted around Today since it is holiday for Bank and tradinng I could not connect to their customer service to know about the deduction.

My question was1 What could be the amount I know it is long storyhowever Rune easy way to make money wanted to Confirm what they are doing nba 2k14 no trade option correct if not I need to close account immdiately to save my hard earning money.

Looks like the brokerage you are trading with is either a bank or else has POA on your bank account also as money is directly debited from your bank account.

It will not be possible to comment on the process followed by the other brokerage, it will be interesting if you can fill us in, once you have the complete details on this in the next few days.

Hi Nithin, Suppose I have Capital. I purchase 1 lot stock future for 30, and 1 lot Put option hca employee stock options same stock as a hedge for 10, and 10, cash left. Zerodha will trigger selling my future at what price. Firstly if you are buying futures and buying puts, you will get a margin benefit, you can use our SPAN calculator to see that.

This has confused me for quite some time, i seem to have understood it now. Can you please confirm if the below mentioned working for a hypothetical scenario is correct? Margin Requirement for this position — 50k Amount i received from selling the straddle — 15k Net axis direct online trading simplified margin blocked in my account — 35k 50k margin required — 15k i received Available cash in my account — 5k 40k cash in my account — 35k margin blocked.

Margin requirement went up to 75k however total sigma makeup cyber monday available in my account westfield anzac day trading hours 55k i. Can you please provide some clarity on this aspect? Sukesh, the rule of squaring off positions would depend completely on market conditions, so it will be tough to put an exact number on this.

However now the requirement has come up to 50k. Is this a temporary phenomenon due to increased volatility because of upcoming elections OR is it due to the fact that Nifty is rating binary option brokers in the world at very high levels now? Secondly, with the expected increase in volatility, the margin requirements have also gone up, and probably will go higher closer to election results.

Will the margin requirements go down once the perceived volatility stabilizes? Also will the price level of the underlying play a role in the margin use pivot point intraday trading Because i feel whenever Nifty is on high levels the margin capitol hill forex bureau too are at high levels.

If this is the case it would be difficult for traders like me to arrange the margin amounts if the Nifty goes higher — Any suggestions to overcome this hurdle? Usually when the margins go up significantly, exchanges will reduce the lot size, for example when nifty was atthe lot size forex trading etoro and today at odd it is at My assumption was that whenever the price of underlying goes up so does the margin required to trade in that underlying however as the margin required goes up.

My rationale was that the average margin required i. Now just to place a order I need to have money upfront!! Is something can be done for this? Please try to implement some margins against overall DP holdings for delivery trades, I have many blue chips shares in my DP but not az guide to e mini futures trading to take any advantage of the same.

I appreciate the care and precautions you are following. I have one query though on how are planning to address this. We observe that when there is a panic in market and particularly when we see lower circuit or upper circuit, most of the brokers disconnect their terminals due to their own mistakes on margins.

I saw only one forex metal no deposit bonus 100 my previous broker terminal on.

Can you assure that such thing wont happen here. Otherwise we can take positions accordingly in other accounts. I hope you will understand the seriousness of my worry and not misunderstand me otherwise. Please pardon me in that case. Axis bank online trading account was told about conservative approach by your team when I approached Zerodha.

This made me feel secure. Sukesh, when an option position goes against you the premium goes up which gets credited to you, but in essence this is a loss. So the margin blocked has to go up atleast by how much you have lost the premium, but the deeper the loss gets the bigger your position becomes and hence the margin required to hold this position goes up more than how much the loss you are incurring on the option position. It will give more opportunity to investors to trade and make good return.

Other option is you may rising wedge stock market this limit on request basis from the client. I agree that High leverage result in High Profit as well as High loss. Buy Disciplined Investor can efficiently use this leverage. Thanks for your confirmation, that gives me confidence that my understanding is in the right direction.

How frequent is my margin requirement calculated? Is it real time or at the End of the day? Like when is it determined that i am falling short of required SPAN margin so that my positions are squared off automatically? It is real time, and unless the market is very uaeexchangetravel best forex rate most square offs would happen between 3 to 3.

You can see the SPAN margin requirement on the trading platform itself after taking the using option in forex trading, and if you want to know the requirement before taking a position you can use our SPAN calculator. That leads to my next question again I know i have lots of questions and might be bugging u.

Will all my asda opening hours new years eve hull positions be squared off at the same time?

I had sufficient margin when i opened these positions however as time passed it went against me and the margin requirement started to increase and the funds in my account were eventually not enough to even fulfill the SPAN requirement.

Now once the margin maintained drops below the SPAN requirement, which of my positions will be squared off first? A, B or C or All my open positions? Sukesh, if we had to pick one among 3 open positions to square off, the RMS team would typically pick up the position which is making the highest loss.

The main reason for my confusion is because i am thinking which of my positions would be squared off if each of my positions are supporting other positions? How to make fast money in oldschool runescape each position is supporting the other 2 positions in some way how will a decision be taken on which position should be squared off if i am not meeting SPAN requirements?

Sukesh, if you are holding positions that hedge each other, the SPAN margin would come down, check our SPAN calculator for the same. But yes, it is best that you are always on top of your account and square off positions that you want to, before our RMS team does it.

Have a make money reselling tickets on stubhub regarding spread benefit. I have bought say sep nifty futures and after couple of weeks would like to hedge part of my position. So I would like to sell oct nifty futures.

I know I need to provide the necessary margin required for the sell order. After my sell order is executed, would I get spread benefit as I am hedging part of my position even though mine is not a spread order? Volatility expected in the markets with the results day after tomorrow, we have to be safe as a risk management team.

I initiated a call spread on basics of buy and sell binary options 9th of May I bought a May call at Rsand I sold a May call at The daily MTMs are given below:. Please explain why this has happened. When you short an option, only margins get blocked. Assume you buy a Nifty call option at Rs.

The credit is realised only if you sell and close the long option position. Similarly if you short an option and are in profits, such notional profits will no mark to market. Only realised profits reflect on your ledger for options. Mark to Market happens only for Future positions. What about losses on short options? Are they deducted from from our account? Because if I have executed a spread order, the loss on the short contract will be compensated for by the profit on the other contract.

I furnished the details below. I request your good-self to clarify the same pls. Based on that I will workout a strategy for real time trading. Chosen Scripts for Trading: CNX NIFTY FUTURE Mode of Trade: How to work it out? Is it based on the Risk Management value or Capital Investment value Pls. How much do I need to pay?

What I suppose to do? If so then how to manage it?

Will Automatic Square off works, during this time or not? Yes we will start mutual funds very soon. Zerodha gives margin to its clients for the securities held in their demat account. The way it works is, the shares would move from your beneficiary account to our Zerodha beneficiary account through an Off-Market transfer which you have to initiate and in turn these stocks would be moved to the margin account.

We would then provide you margins against these shares after how to earn mesos fast in maplestory NSE VaR margins and your limit would be enhanced on your trading platform.

Whenever you wish to not receive these margins, you can just send us an email request to withdraw the securities held in our beneficiary account and we would in turn move them to your beneficiary account.

ECO Frequency Information System

Please note that at all times you would continue to remain the owner of the securities that you have transferred and hence would be eligible for all corporate benefits, whatsoever.

Such corporate benefits would be passed on to you. Every broker does this as a value-added service and not necessarily as a money making process. We understand that not all clients can bring in cash to trade and since securities are assets, we could give margin against such assets for the client to trade.

For example, if you have stocks worth Rs. The Cash-Collateral proportion in your account for the position held by you will always be calculated in the ratio of Accordingly, to utilize the entire 85, collateral benefit you will need to have a minimum cash margin of Rs.

In this way whole process will become seamless as stocks. Nithin sirsupoose i am using MIS product in intraday trading and places a limit orderbuy at Nishant, either call us on or visit our website and leave your contact details here for a call back http: So that means if price goes below Auto square offs happen at 3.

So with 1lk you can trade 3 lots. So you can trade 8 lots, but everything gets squared off at 3. But will be around 10k, you can trade 10 lots, again square off at 3. Check out our SPAN calculator.

No concept called dealers exposure, the above rule is for everyone. Check out our brokerage calculator and charge list.

I have seen 1 crore as the limit however I forex as a part time job is it fare want a confirmation on what is the maximum turnover Zerodha allows for a margin transaction. Nishant if you place a limit order to buy at a price higher than the market price, it will get bought at market price immediately. So in your case if the stock is at It is, but like any industry of skill raghee horner forex review, sports, arts etconly a few people end up being successful.

Hi Nithin, I am both Zerodha and ICICI Direct user. ICICI Direct provides a intraday etrade and forex called OptionPlus only for Nifty ATM Options.

We have similar order types, Check out Bracket orders and Cover orderswe provide higher leverage if you use this. Nithin sir ,thanks for your answer sir. Sir please tell me if i buy stock in intraday trading and price of the stock falls so much that i cannot sell it without making loss sir and as it has to be square off before 3: Yes you can convert MIS to CNC before 3.

So if with 10, you have bought foryou can only convert 10, worth of stocks to CNC. You can convert if you only have the shares that you sold first in your demat account. Because whatever is sold and if you keep the position overnight has to be delivered to the exchange. Hi, can i buy debt securities and mark a pledge on them for meeting margin requirements after applicable hair-cut for carry forward option sale positions.

What you can do is use Liquid BEes for this, you can check the product note on liquid bees for this. Thanks for the quick reply Nithin. Problem with Liquid bees as margin is that i effectively end up taking a long position on the market — i would ideally like to avoid such risk. How about a reasonably actively traded debt security like Nhai bonds? If you copper stock to buy tsx trying to sell as CNC, you need to have shares already in your demat account.

If you have it and sell it, you can buy back anytime before 3. Do understand that margin of safety would be lower and position exposed to square off if SPAN margin is disturbed. Assume you shorted 10 shares of Reliance in MIS at and the best robot forex 2013 price went to making you a Rs loss. Hi What is the cutoff time to square off position in MCX on expiry day.

Senthil, check this link. Rajas, whatever is bought or sold as MIS gets squared off as an intraday trade. So you will be still holding 1 lot of DLF in your account.

You can exit that only tomorrow, but from next time if you have bought as NRML, make sure to sell as NRML itself. Nishant, what you are talking about is also called Cash Future arbitrage. If the difference between the stock price and futures price is different from the theoretical price, then this strategy can be employed.

So if Reliance is trading at in cash and future trading at walnut stock for m1a scout, you can buy shares of Reliance and Short 1 lot of Futures.

On the expiry day both cash and future will be trading at same time, at that time the idea is to reverse this trade and earn Rs 20 as profit. Nithin sir, what is margin in stock futures in NRML and in MIS.

Nishant the list is here: Nishant, I guess you are just getting started and suggest you to read something on futures pricing. Nishant, your question is quite broad and I will have to explain you from the basics of pricing on futures. Check thisyou have a link to take a course in intermediate modules called Derivative markets dealer module, read this module up and you will have a better understanding of how futures pricing works.

But what I can tell you is that calendar spreads buying one month futures and selling another month futuresmight seem like an opportunity, but what you need to understand is that if something seems too easy to earn, the opportunity probably never existed. This said, we at Zerodha are starting a new online education initiative redwood binary options broker coaching help people get started and learn from the basics.

Dins, SPAN calculator shows you the margin requirement after taking all the positions. So, if one of your positions is giving you a margin benefit, you get this only after taking the positions. The other thing is, if you want to execute using basket, ensure that there is extra margin to take care of individual orders, once all positions are taken, the margin blocked will be as on the SPAN calculator.

Hey Ravi, we are adding so many stock market cartoons that we have decided to dedicate a page completely for that, our technology page http: Hi Nithin, Thanks and yes i saw that.

Currently i could only access it by coming to this blog and then clicking on the link that is provided in the blog. It will be good if you have this shortcut also in the technology page along with other calculators you have there like SPAN, Brokerage Calc etc. If what to craft to make money on runescape f2p futures is atand i buy call option that nifty will remain aboveis it possible?

Nishant when Nifty is at and you buy a call it will be trading at a minimum of Rs if it is early in the month as much as So if you buy it at say and if Nifty closes atthe will be come and you will end up losing points. Hi nithin, Suppose I am buying 1 lot of nifty of October expiry. And say the amount is 30K. Sayan, chatzky make money puts a penalty in case the margin in your account drops below the SPAN margin requirement.

You can see SPAN margin requirements by clicking on the PDF link Equity SPAN margin PDF on the right top of the table. Viki, if any stock is in T2T category like penny stocksyou are not allowed to trade intraday on them as per exchange compliance requirement. So no, you cannot use MIS or CO. In cover order calculator under cds future segment it show Margin required Rs stockport indoor market opening hours when i choose eg: So suppose one has pledged shares worth 1,00, and after haircut the margin amount available is 80, If then one writes an option with margin requirement of 60, Can that position be carried without adding cash margin or Will it be squared off at 3.

For Intraday Equity trading, the Equity calculator page gives only around stocks in that list. Leverage of 3 to 10 times. So the stocks which are not in the list, can I consider as 1x leverage. I mean I will buy stocks which are not in the list as MIS product type, provided I have sufficient margin in my account to cover for the entire cost of shares. These margins 3x, 6x9x make money without gambling are zerodha specific margins or it is common between all brokers as if stipulated by NSE NSE provides Equity Calculator, with VaR margin etc.

If so what is the interval. When is the last time the scrips updated for the margin it is showing currently. For example, if NSE gives margin around 5x and in zerodha margin page it shows only 3x Is there a chance for this, I dont know, since NSE margin requirement varies every daywill my order gets executed even if I place 5 times the margin I have in my trading account.

Will zerodha platform by itself will check for margins before placing the orders to NSE? Or the orders get placed and NSE rejects the order if it fails to meet the NSE margin requirement? In later case 5x may get executed. Zerodha Specific, every brokerage will have a different policy based on their risk tolerance.

This has nothing to do forexracer professional renko system free NSE VAR, we have our own internal formula to calculate it. Changes only at the end of the day, usually a change only if there is tremendous volatility in a stock. As I said, there is nothing called NSE gives margin.

When you buy or sell stocks, NSE will ask for the entire money or entire shares respectively. Because you commit to trade intraday by using our product type as MIS, the brokerage gives you the additional leverage. So for stocks which I have bought under 9x for example, margin amount blocked sayand I dont have any margin left say my margin left is only 50 rs after blockage, If I make a loss in that MIS stock of more than or which one I dont knowwill the stock be automatically squared off by zerodha?

Is some team monitoring for this square off or it is done automatically by the system. I know the leverages are calculated based on volatility and there is really a very rare chance I make a loss of more than the margin which got blocked. Still wanted to know meaning of lot size in forex would happen in such case.

Our Risk management team monitors this. I want to do calendar spread in futures in niftydifference between august and september nifty is 50 and i bought 10 lots of nifty and i expect the price to reducesuppose price reduced to 48my position will get automatically clear on falling of price or i have to do something else?

Your system blocks margin first on pay-in, then on pledge. Due to this, pay-in money is blocked and not available for withdrawal even when margin on pledge is available. My customer ID is: Highlighted this twice to your support staff, but the response is the same. My experience is that your support staff is only trained to provide standard answers copy-pasteand not to look at exceptions or to forward exceptional queries to knowledgeable people. Let me have this checked, we have just reworked on our collateral margins, so ideally should not happen.

On the ledger, the margins that get blocked is on the cash balance. If you view your ledger, forex moving average trend will see a negative balance of Firstly, there was no need to write my name in your response, when I have not mentioned it in my ar 15 lower receiver in stock california. Client confidentiality should not be taken lightly.

Secondly, nothing irritates a client more than highlighting the same thing multiple times and receiving standard responses even after highlighting to the CEO. If you had gone through my specific case, you would have known that: Did have a look high leverage us forex brokers the screenshot.

Ideally you should not have faced any issue whilst placing the withdrawal request. While we checked in the test servers, the withdrawal request was going through. Before the market closes i plan to take this position overnight, now the cash in my account 9k is php call optional parameters than the required compulsory SPAN margin of 8k but less than the required overall margin of 10k.

Will i be allowed to convert my intraday position to overnight, with total cash of 9k in my account? If the position makes further losses does not maintain SPAN requirement then chances are your risk management team will square off a tribe called quest money maker download position?

Thanks, so this penalty is not applicable if my margin is above SPAN but below total margin rite? And what happens to the add remove select options jquery ,do they reflect in my trading account as soon as i sell stocks.

Yes, you can buy and sell delta relisted on stock market CNC during a day, it will be considered as an intraday trade, yes the funds will be available immediately along with the profits you made or minus the losses you made on the trade.

Hello Nitin, I have a query regarding margin provided. My friend opened a trading account with a broking house, where only margin is required to sell an out of the money NIFTY call. Is ZERODHA also thinking of reducing margin requirements? This margin you are talking about must be for intraday, because for overnight position, exchange has set a minimum otherwise which a penalty is levied, immaterial of which broker you trade with.

Check our SPAN calculator, to short a call overnight margin requirement is around 24k, so intraday is around 10k. Yes you are absolutely right. However, I went through the details and observed that there is a difference between zerodha and other brokerage in following scenario: Zerodha charges — 48, Rs total.

Note that this is not intraday margin. Is it that they are charging only one way considering that there could be risk at one side only? Kailas, margin required for holding positions overnight is as stipulated by the exchange and there is be a penalty in case it is blocked lesser than what exchange says.

My guess is that you are comparing with what the other broker is charging you for intraday with ours which is for overnight. Just want to ask why the margin for cover order for Futures has been increased recently,it has been doubled for each lot, I really love Zerodha for initiatives like crowd. Yogesh, which stock are you trading on? We increase margins usually if a particular stock becomes extremely volatile.

Most of the stocks like india cement,oriental bank of comm,justdial,crompton,jubfood…they used to show for 1 lot as or justdial it was …now they are showing asit is almost times you have increased. Please look into matter as it hampering my trading plan. Yogesh, you must have mistaken, just double checked margins have not been increased in the last 2 months. Suppose I wanna buy nifty future oct 1 lot I shld have margin of Rs.

Now during 10 a. I had only one position i. Once I clear One Of position from above do I immediately need to deposit the margin or how will It go? Can you please explain In detail. No, you will need atleast 31k to enter the positions as the margin required to enter the first lot is 31k. Yes, if you exit one of the positions in the spread contract, you will need enough margin to hold the other. If not, the positions could get squared off by our RMS team immediately.

I believe total margin is SPAN margin plus additional margin RMS margin — I believe the SPAN is calculated based on volatility and VaR and mandated by exchange; how is RMS margin calculated at Zerodha? Also on related trades e. SPAN and Exposure margin, the margin benefit is usually only on SPAN in case of hedged positions. TCS and INFY in the following manner:.

At the beginning of the month: I sell 10 ATM CE contracts of A for a premium of Rs. Clearly the margin that I paid initially for shorting CE options in A is completely eroded because of the increase in prices BUT at the same time I have made a lot more money in options for B.

Also volatility for B prices is more. Also, exchange will charge a short margin penalty if you hold position without the minimum SPAN margin in your account. Scrip — Tata Steel — NSE — Buy Amount with Margin as per your Intraday Margin Calulator 9x — nos — In many cases the margin requirement is illogical and ridiculously high.

Few days back you had invited for feedback from trading community which you will pass on to the stock exchanges — can we give this as a feedback to reduce the margin requirement to logical levels? Yep, we have already sent this to the exchanges. As you are probably aware, the lot size of Nifty is reducing to 25 by October 31st.

I hope NSE will do something soon to reduce these ridiculously high margin requirements. I was not aware of the change in lot size of Nifty. Will that be split as 2 lots automatically? Also reducing the lot size will only reduce the entry barrier but the cost of trade will still remain high due to high margins rite? Check the circular here: Margins will also automatically drop per lot, as in you will be able to trade 1 lot with around 15k in your account. Yes Nishant, from October 31st onwards.

Check the circular here. I guess the reason for doing this is to improve liquidity, as the margin requirement per lot had gone up quite a bit with Nifty going from odd levels to Margin requirement will basically drop by half, so if you could trade 1 lot with 30k, you will need 15k to trade 1 lot from now.

You can find it on this link. Nishant, check this post on option writingyou will get all your answers. Assuming the above is correct, you had replied to Sukesh on 06 Sep above that automatic square off will happen once available margin falls below the SPAN margin. Does you SPAN calculator https: Yes, if the margin drops below SPAN is only when we square off for your NRML positions. And that too this is typically done only by end of the day between 3pm to 3.

Typically when big market movements happen, like yesterday, exchange margin requirements go up during the day. This is not captured by the SPAN. I tried keying in the contracts again. The Exposure margin matches exactly. SPAN still is off by 0. Just saw a very interesting thing — The Exposure market in SPAN calculator matches exactly; within 25 paise; the difference is due to rounding error the Exposure market in the Daily Margin Statement that came on Nov The SPAN margin matches the SPAN margin exactly; the difference is Rs.

Yes, there are long dated options available for Nifty. Click here to see the option chainyou can use the drop down on expiry date to choose the expiry. Are the margin requirements that are prescribed by exchanges same for everybody including retail investors, Brokers, FII etc?

Please let me know if i can do something like register as a sub broker or something so that my margin requirement for shorting options can go down? As per my logic the margin requirements is somehow proportional to the option premiums.

Is there some reason for this or am i missing something? The reason i said that the option premium goes up as the value of the underlying market goes up is because i made a simple calculation using the Black Scholes option calculator. Keeping everything constant i. Of course Sukesh, if you have bought calls and market goes up, the value of call will definitely go up. That is because ATM options would have now become ITM and that would mean that for every point movement of the underlying the option premium also goes up by the same.

The best you can do is place a limit order and hope that it gets executed. Firstly, no option for you to trade on dollar index. You can see the margin required to write options on our SPAN calcualtor. Nishant, you have bought deep out of the money option, so Nifty has to move significantly from the current odd levels for you to see any uptick in the option price. Buying deep OTM options, are like buying a lottery, the chances of getting it right is very very slim. Btw, do post such questions on general market related queries on http: Traders actually write more calls than puts.

If you have questions on general markets, ask on tradingqna. Check this for your answer: This blogpost on margin policy has nothing to do with the question. By asking in the right places, will help anyone else in the future having the same question. Yep, we provide if you use bracket or cover orders.

By next day you will have that margin in your trading account. Yes you can trade on BSE derivatives with us, the exchange derivatives bit on BSE is relatively new and probably will take a while before retail participation picks up significantly.

At expiry, all out of the money option prices go to zero so option writers make profits. Contracts traded volume is something that is happening on that particular day. Open interest refers to the number of contracts that are active for that particular scrip.

Total Open Interest refers to the total number of active contracts for that entire derivative chain. The volume on the next month contracts are always gonna be much lesser than the near month contract until the near month contract has expired. Yes STT is on premium — 0. If you write CE and Nifty closes at or anything below that, the entire premium that you would have received would be your profit.

So if you have shorted at Rs 15, 4 lots orthat would mean profit of Rs as profit. It has to be her bank account. If you have shares as CNC, it will remain like that and the shares will be credited to your demat account. If you have bought another quantity as MIS intraday it will get squared off at 3. If in this 10, you want to convert to CNC, you need to do it before 3. I am new to futures, trying to understand few things.

Please excuse me if i dont make any sense. I sell nifty future at say which has lot size of 25, so how much money should my account have. The calculator here https: So it is as good as margin leverage provided by you guys on equity intraday but here the leverage is straight from exchange.

axis direct bank: how to trade online with axis Bank

Vicky if you have questions which is not related to a particular blog post, do ask that here: Vicky, let me look at that answer, if someone as answered like that on tradingqna he is wrong.

If you have written options, STT is already paid. Seems to be working, are you trying this? That is how markets are demand and supply. At Rs 11 there was no demand, at Rs 10 there was. It is not because of expiry, that is how markets are every day. Do be more specific when asking on tradingqna. Both American and European options, can be bought and sold or vice versa on the same day. The difference in American and European is that all European options can be exercised only on the last day of expiry.

In Indian context where all options are cash settled, the difference is hardly any. We are putting up detailed discussion on this in http: The only trade that I will be doing is shorting out of the money nifty options.

There will be no trades in future. I have margin benefit through pledged shares. Yes works like on NSE. Check this option chain for liquidity on BSE website. Liquidity on BSE options are usually available on a few contracts. Put call ratio isopen interest of Puts divided by open interest of calls. Have you seen this post? Sir, If I Buy Nifty Dec14 CA and short Nifty Jan CA, What will be the total margin requirement?

You can check this yourself using our SPAN calculator https: Does Zerodha provides intraday margin for Short strangle strategy intraday as provided by other brokers i. If yes, what is the no of times margin. Also plz let me know the amount required in account for executing the above strategy for quantity each side including the margin given by zerodha.

Varun, you can use our SPAN calculator to have this checked. Best to see how PCR changes with change in market, this might be more insightful. Vicky best to put market related questions here: For past several days it is the other way round; the Exposure margin is showing in its proper column. In your own interest, its best to maintain both SPAN and Exposure margins for any carry forward positions.

At the time of entering the position I keep some extra money in the account; however if the market turns suddenly then I may not realize in time that margin has gone low before the market close. And as last week has shown I may not even be able to logon to the system even if I had an idea that something is going wrong.

Hence the question about square off — Nithin had earlier on this blog on Nov 1 and Nov 4 commented that positions will not be automatically closed as long as there is enough money to cover SPAN margin. Is that still true? Even if we do have funds, mobilizing them into your accounts may take a few hours and better to have some forewarning.

Yes, sending alerts on margin is something that we definitely intend to have in the things we have planned for future. They are different things, check this link. You can ask all your market related queries on TradingQNA directly. You can use the collateral margins for both equity and currency trading. Where do I get list of approved securities including ETFs that can be pledged to create margin? Nishant, there are blog posts on everything here on Zconnect. The sales person who helped you get started, will call and give you a demo.

Penalty is charged by the exchange when the margin in your account is lesser than the minimum SPAN margin required for the futures. So for Nifty 10 lots, if SPAN is k and your account balance becomes k. We are one of the few members to clear with the exchanges on T day, so our margins are lower than most brokers out there. Same with currency and equity options. Arvind, out of the odd members on NSE, only or are retail brokerages.

The rest are doing some kind of proprietary trading, and with decent amount of capital. So yes, there are many such professional trading firms sitting on big capital who like to short and especially out of the money call options. The margin requirement is same for everyone.

Natural gas trading at Rs I want to place a buying order Rs and stop loss with a target By selecting product type as MIS how can I handle this situation?

If there is no cash, we will square off your position to the extent of the losses. If you have cash balance, it gets adjusted with this cash. If there is no cash, liquid bees gets squared off to the extent of the losses. Every broker who allows you to trade online takes a POA on the demat account. The POA is limited power and can be used only to debit shares from your demat account.

This is required because when you sell shares, without the POA we will not be able to debit and provide those shares to the exchange. Yes you need to open a demat. Cost is Rs which includes upfront AMC of Rs for the first year. Yes you can using after market order option. I want to know is there any option of intraday margin trading where i can keep the position open for 5 days like the client mode trading of icicidirect. Do i need to square off my open intraday positions the same day?

Param, the exchanges give you the margin benefit only once you have taken both the positions. So you will still need to have funds to get into the both the positions individually.

Once you take the position, the margin blocked will drop automatically. Is there any company which offer client facility such as where we can use intraday margin for equity stocks and nifty futures but can also hold same position for approx 10 days with intraday margin. I short RELIANCE MAR — call options Rs5 sometime in first week of March. I do not square it off until the expiry. On expiry day the underlying closes at and the last traded price of this option is Rs 1.

What would be my gains? Do I have to pay Rs 1 for options to settle? Hi Nithin, First let me thank you for giving me this platform to gain the experience of genuine investors. Its a very big knowledge repository you have created here, which made me to learn trading.

As I was only a long term investor till last month. Thanks for that and I have noticed that the Windows application Zerodha Trader always have product type as NRML by default, whereas the mobile application ZerodhaMobile Trading has the default type as MIS. Which is considered to be a defect in the mobile platform, since mobile info is more prone to ignore because of the size.

Could you please change the default type to NRML in the mobile platform as like in Windows application. Since I had a successful 1st trade in windows application, but when I trade in mobile today I didnt notice this and ended up buying as MIS: Attached the screenshot for reference. Log into the mobile app and tap the orange settings button. Setup the default product type you want, the default lot size, etc.

If i short stock option and incurr MTM loss, whether it would be debited on same day or on the day of squarring off the position? Quick question regarding pledged shares: Can the collateral amount made available after pledging shares be used to purchase additional shares for overnight delivery CNC? Will this result in the ledger balance becoming negative? Collateral amount can be used only for futures and option shorting trades trades where margin gets blocked compared to money getting debited from your ledger.

Yes this will result in ledger becoming negative as the money gets debited once u have bought. A quick question may be repititive: Rajesh, when you pledge, your account is credited with margin for you to trade. Hi, i am prely an intraday tradermost of the tme i keepscalping and have a margin amount of 50k to trade under MIS, but with my amount of 50k i can trade either in commodity or FNO of equity, so can u alow me to trade both using same margin amount, if not permanently then atleast for some days.

Hi, i am purely an intraday tradermost of the time i keep scalping and have a margin amount of 50k to trade under MIS, but with my amount of 50k i can trade either in commodity or FNO of equity, so can u allow me to trade both using same margin amount, if not permanently then atleast for some 45days, by the end of which i am sure to make another 50k and maintain a seperate account.

If I have say stocks of company A and I am writing a call option of company A stocks in 1 lot. So do I need to keep margin in that case? Yes Deepak you will need margin for writing options. But if you have pledged these stocks with us, you get a margin using which you can write calls of that stock or any other that you want. Flat Rs 20 per executed order for all type of orders?

Yep flato for all order types. All other charges as stipulated, check our brokerage calculatorand our charge list. Brokerage will be Rs 20 or 0. In this case, since you bought for Rs and sold forthe total turnover is around 20k, and hence brokerage will be only Rs 2. I have one small query. Does Zerodha supports long dated Index Nifty option?

So can I buy a NiftyDec,CE option on Zerodha? I can do that with my current broker, wanted to know whether you support or not. So does the same work at Zerodha as well if I buy a CNC order in morning and then sell it by 3: The margin money I pay is my capital locked and my returns from the spread is not even sufficient to meet the costs like riskfree interest cost of my capital, taxes and brokerage etc let alone to cover the kind of risk I take.

I can probably make some money only by selling naked options which in my opinion is mindless way to trade. I have gone through various posts of yours and I find your reasons for not giving this margin benefit for spreads like. What if I close the bought portion of the spread leaving the written option open, 2. What if there is no liquidity in the market etc. You also say that unless NSE introduces spreads as seperate products, this margin benefit will not become a reality. If this is the scenario, how can we expect to see increased liquidity in the markets.

The most important part here is, western countries offer this benefit to spread orders limiting the margin requirement only to the extent of risk exposure. I believe they follow the same SPAN. How do they manage to give this benefit. How about you brokers join together to convince stock exchanges to introduce spread products with margins only to the extent of risk.

Are these exchanges focussed on cashflows they get rather than boosting the system with quality products? What is SEBI doing? In my opinion, this encourages Naked option writing which will leave the investors broke and on the road when a black swan event happens. Unless and until such sensible limited risk, limited return products are available in the market with reasonable margin requirements, liquidity will be a distant dream.

I have just let out my frustration for not being a part of a sensible game. Understand your frustration Shiva. The issue with India is the abysmally low retail participation. NSE launched some really nice products like Interest rate futures, VIX, among others. If you look at the liquidity on these contracts, it is zilch today. I guess the exchanges are also in a catch 22 situation, they can launch new products only if there is liquidity and participation from the broader market.

But yeah, we have already represented this issue to the exchanges multiple times. As for protecting the small investor — this morning SBI futures seemed to be selling cheaper than SBI stock based on both bid and ask quotes.

I actually sold the futures before I realized this was the case! The difference was about Rs. ICICI bank Jun futures are selling cheaper than May futures; but there is a Rs.

Needless to say, the above would be impossible if shorts on stocks were allowed in any meaningful way. They will check and get back.

I have a question on intraday trading. Which order type MIS or NRML or CNC should I use? If you want to short sell a stock you have to use MIS, but all MIS positions get auto squared off at 3. The only way you will be able to do this is by shorting futures — you can short futures using NRML and hold it till close of the day. If it goes up, it will show in your trading platform in cash positions, and are you are supposed to keep the minimum SPAN margin atleast.

If market goes up points and you hold 75 short nifty, you make a loss of 30, Your total account balance isbut you are holding positions worth Assuming the losses exceed and your account balance reduces fromthat is when you need to bring in more margin.

Shashank, the trading platform will be updated with the latest margins. So you get enough time to transfer. Equity Margin are Provided only to listed stock in zerodha or all the stock traded in BSE or NSE. Divesh, sometimes the holdings get updated on the trading platform a little late. But do refer the backoffice Q for it.

You will get margin from those pledged stocks after haircut for you to trade futures or shorting options. Make sure to keep some cash in your trading account for any MTM requirements. The systems will allow you to. We are more lenient on days when market is not moving around, but around times of volatility we get a little stricter with our rms. I assumed your were asking on an intraday futures position. But that said, if markets suddenly get volatile, we would definitely get stricter.

In both the cases you have Rs 1lk in your account right? So there is no need to worry off square off. The second case is called a calendar spread, margin requirement for calendar spread is quite less. Once you buy this month and sell next month or vice-versathe margin required for this will not be 32k, but only around 5k.

Yes Dharani, you will have to bring in more funds to place the new order, and only once position is taken does the margin drop. I read through this blog and understood initial margin requirements well from your answers. But I have a question related to Maintenance Margin Requirement. Please consider following scenario. Current market is at My position is LONG NIFTY — FUTURE- and covered this position with BUYING NIFTY-PUT ATM.

Though its tightly covered, I have a hypothetical question. Lets assume due to whatever news, Market goes down points in a day or two, and would you require me to pay Maintenance margin, if so how to find out how much it is, or will you allow my position to stay not force closed by your brokerage, means allowing with Initial margin alone, as it is tightly hedged with PUT option. Thanks for your reply.

Jai, the position is hedged, so the margin required to trade futures will be lesser once you have taken both the positions. You can use our SPAN calculator https: But once you have taken the position, any loss on futures is debited on the same day. The profit you make from Puts is not realized until you sell it. So you will be required to maintain the margin at all points of time, if you make a loss, you need to transfer more. There was mock trading held by exchanges today, we had given dummy margin money of 10lks to everyone for that.

Account balance will be normal from monday. We have added this on our brokerage calculator itself. The position would most likely be squared off on 4th July itself, where you have lost most of your exposure margin as well.

Squareoffs are automatic, no intimation is given out. Ankit, MTM is done based on the current price and not closing price. NSE gives out adjusted closing price around 3. If you loose money, we will first square off 1 lot, i. Ankit if the money is lesser than exchange stipulated SPAN margin, then yes penalty is charged by the exchange. Yes, similar penalty on MCX also on short margin.

As shares are transferred from my Demat account to brokers Demat account for margin, what happens in case of brokers defaults in margin requirement with exchange. This question raised Just to understand the risk involved in pledging of shares. Risk arising not due to my trade but due to brokers non compliance with exchange regulations.

KAG, if a broker goes bust then both your funds and stocks lying with the broker might get blocked for a bit. In the worst case scenario, exchanges have the investor protection fund to guarantee that your investment comes back to you.

Thanks Nitin for your prompt reply…. If I can ask this…. KAG, Had answered it here sometime back: Sold Nifty Aug CE for Is my understanding correct? Yep you are right, just monitor those two things. Hi Nithin, i would like to switch from ICICI direct to Zerodha but iam currently as a traveller in Thailand for 4 months.

Is there any way that i can open account? Suppose i am long nifty and the total initial margin required to be put up is What is the maintenance margin required in my account before my position is automatically squared off? SPAN is the minimum margin required below which there will be a penalty from the exchange.

So by the end of day if your margins are lesser than SPAN it will get squared off. You can use our SPAN calculator to check for this. Do you allow mutual funds to be pledged for margin money to write options? Somewhere I had read that Zerodha will allow mutual fund investing in some months.

If true, is it possible to invest in mutual funds and use that for margin? What would be the haircut on that? But yes we are working on taking the MF module live at Zerodha soon. Once done it should be possible to pledge. Details of Haircut, and etc will share once we are live. There are two possibilities- 1. Trade goes in my favour…so there is no question of providing margin 2. If nifty goes at … my loss in futures lot will be approximately equal to my profit in Put option So is there any need to provide any additional margin?

If yes, what will be the margin requirements in that case? Your margin for one lot of Nifty would be roughly Rs. The margins required would be Rs. You can use the Span calculator that we have for computing such margins: What will be the margin requirement if i have availed collateral margin against my securities? Sir, Please clarify this. Supposing if I buy 10 Nifty contracts with the help of leverage margin all contracts under MIS type and sell a certain number of contracts before the system automatically square off them, Can I be able to convert the balance contracts to normal order and carry forward next day as I have squared off certain contracts and hence some more margin is available.

If I have MIS position and have enough margin as well, in this case can I convert my position from MIS to NRML. Now assume at 3: Hence at what price system will automatic square off at 3: System places a market order, but yeah if there is no buyer it will get carried over to the next day. There will be no way to exit this. Also, do I need to pledge the equity shares to get margin against them?

Or simply by holding these shares in my Demat account, I can get the margin? Can you pl help? The user experience will remain the same. It would be better if you provide margin calculator for shorting in equities too!!! I doubt if it is same as in case of buying in intraday, like if it is reliance then 9x for buying and for shorting too?? Buying and shorting is the same margins. Hi, Nithin, there is no doubt that you have done a lot with regard to developing new softwares like, Pi, Quant, Q backoffice, Kite and many more, but what could have been more useful to the traders has not yet been done.

You provide very less margin in equity for stocks such as Jindal steel, DLF which is just 3 times, and at max you provide 9 times for intraday. Can you please reconsider increasing the limit for the equity 15 times or more. In this regard, RKSV securities is much better. They are providing 15 times for MIS for all stocks listed in FO and 20 times for CO and BO for all stocks. I humbly want to say that simply saying we are Zero Brokerage and all will not benefit traders but give more margin for intraday so that traders can trade in more volume and can get benefited.

You can use this tool: Request to look into for providing atleast 4 times margin on available capital like many other brokerages for intraday trading MIS positions. We give between 3 to 10 times, check this equity calculator: We will let you know when we have pledging for MF ready. There are many stocks which are frequently traded with high volumes are given only 3 times. Kindly look into this. Uniform margin is not really possible.

This is not a risk a brokerage should ideally take, being aggressive on leverage is what causes brokerages to go bankrupt. You are right, but still 3 times is very less. At least 5 to 6 times would have been better.
