    hi iam doing algo trading.mainly in option buying and selling. i trade so many lots. for option writing 3x margin is not enough to me.. what i can do for high leverage.. mainly in MIS ORDERS..please help me

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Varadharajan,
      Currently you get 3x for options writing in MIS. However, in bracket order/Cover order, you would get upto 7x exposure. In case of any change in MIS exposure, we shall update to all our clients.

  5. SUVOSMIT HALDER

    Hi, as per ur info, writing Index options has 7x margin in CO BO. Can u please tell me what is the range of SL Trigger price that I can put in CO order. Like if I sell say Nifty strike 8000 PE of Rs. 15. What will be my SL trigger price?? Is it 20% of Rs.15 or more??

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Suvosmit,
      In CO order for NIFTY Options the SL range in 20%. For e.g let’s assume 9000 Nifty CE is trading at 1000 (Last Traded Price) and the stop loss range for options CO is 20% then you would required to mention the trigger price between 800-1000 for buy and 1000-1200 for sell. The Trigger price range differs segment to segment.

    looking at exposure chart, there is no exposure for intraday trades of index or stocks options. is it right?. or there is some exposure,?

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Aparna,
      You are right. There is no exposure for index/options buying. Because, in case you place a market order then there might be chances of executing at the large gap price as per the market rates available. This leads to heavy loss if you have traded with the leverage. Considering this risk and keeping the clients interest at the top, we are not providing exposures in index/stock options buying.

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Subham
      We allow contracts within 5% range from LTP of underlying future contract. Ex: Let’s assume USDINR future is at 74 then the option strike price available for trading will be from 70.3 to 77.7 for UNSINR Call/Put. Even if the contract is falling between above range and if there is less volume then that specific contract will also be blocked for trading.

      Hello Rama,
      Asli trader refers to a regular trader. If you buy 1 lot(75 Qty) Nifty contract at 11900 then your total contract value will be 892500. However, you do not have to pay 892500. You would just require to pay margin of 14500 if you buy through Cover or bracket order. Hence, you are getting around 61 time extra limit (892500/14500=61)

    If orders are to be placed new long positions in Banknifty/Nifty options, (i.e OTM, deep OTM strikes & deep ITM strikes). Do you have a range to be followed by the mandated Open Interest restriction

    Like some of the discount brokers have the position limit in equity index options contracts (BankNifty/Nifty option contracts in this case) is higher of Rs.500 crores or 15% of the total Open Interest (OI) in the market in Banknifty option contracts

    For example, let’s assume BankNifty is trading at 28000 – and due to the open interest restriction is as 1% from the spot –one is not be allowed to place a buy order 280 points above or below, i.e you will have to place your buy order between 27720 – 28280. Therefore one cannot buy a CALL OPTION above 28280 or buy a PUT OPTION below 27720
    Do you follow this or are the clients allowed to buy at any strike price of their choice

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Mr. De Souza,
      Currently we do not have such restrictions, you may trade in any strike price if there is volume in the respective contract.

      MCX Futures trading is available in all product types. MCX Options trading is available only in NRML(Overnight position). You may refer the above article. NA means no trading is available in that particular product type.

      Hi Sanit,
      As mentioned in the above article, MIS, CO and BO order types provide you extra exposure while trading intraday. In case you have shares lying in your demat account, you can also pledge shares and get extra exposure based on the shares you pledged.

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Ravi,
      Margin: In case of derivatives(Futures) trading you’re required to keep some amount with in your trading account to buy/sell one lot of any contract. This amount is called as margin. Example: Support you want to buy Nifty Future contract. It consists of 75 qty in one lot. Let’s assume Nifty future is trading at 10000 market rate. If you buy one lot then the total contract value becomes 750000(75*10000). But exchange require only 8% of the total value. Hence, you’re required to pay only 60000 to buy 1 lot of Nifty contract. This Rs.60000 is called as margin.

      Exposure/Limit is the extra amount that broker provides to your trading. Please note exposure is available only in intraday.
      Example: The margin required for Nifty 1 lot is Rs.60000. Let’s assume you have balance of Rs.20000. You can buy 1 lot of nifty. Here, the remaining 40000 has been contributed by the broker. Ideally, providing extra amount to clients for intraday trading purpose is called as exposure.

      Hello Sajjan,
      Span margin is the minimum margin required to be maintained to create the position in your account. Exposure margin is charged in order to protect the liability which may arise due to wild swings/moves in the markets. Hence you’re required to pay both Span and Exposure margins.

    F&O Closing Day, I am buying options paying total amount why MIS and after 3:10 buying is not taken why.
    I am paying total amount for options why your system is selling at 3:10 hrs. It is not correct.

    Please modify your system.

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hi Rukmangada,
      In case you are paying full amount then we would request you to place your trade in NRML so that you can square off your order till 3:30pm or you can also carry forward your position to next day if you wish to. As per RMS policy 3:10pm is the cut off time for intraday(MIS, CO and BO) orders.

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hi Rajeev,
      Margin required for 1 lot of BankNifty future short position is 80200 to carry forward the position to next day(NRML product type). For intraday(MIS), margin required is 26800. In case you use cover or bracket order then margin required would further reduce to 11500. Kindly note these rate are as per yesterday’s closing price and subject to change.

      We provide 3 times intraday exposure(MIS). For carry forward, full margin is required. For Cover and Bracket order, the future contract exposures are upto 7 times.

      Hello Rahul,
      Margin required will depend on in which commodity you want to trade.
      Example: For 1 lot of Silver mini, June 2016 contract, you may need to maintain approximately Rs.9700 to take overnight position. For intraday, margin required will be Rs.4850. In case you use Cover Order, you just need to maintain Rs.1940 in your account. These figures change as the Silver mini market rate changes

      You may also calculate margin required for different commodities from our Margin Calculator.

    Sir, as one of the friends pointed out above, it would be great if the exposure was based on specific stoploss rather than plain 5x exposure on bracket order. Sir, there are other brokerage firms who are providing stoploss based exposure, the higher the risk the lesser the exposure they give, and vice versa, which sounds good. But i agree their monthly charge is little higher than yours.

    I sell at rs.11. of 1100 = rs.12100 at 3.00 pm (same day)
    Sir wether it is possible or not. If it is possible as many time trades in a day . if not , only one trade in a day.i.e.i sell shares at 1.00pm . the funds credited after 4-5 hours later at 5.00pm-6.00pm after market closed. Sir which is correct . please tell me .

      Intraday: Since Axis Bank has 7 times exposure for the day, you will be able to trade upto 70000 volume for intraday. You need to square off your position by 3.10pm or your position will be auto squared off after 3.10pm.
      Intraday exposures varies from stock to stock. Please refer knowledge base link for Intraday Exposure.

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hi Parth,
      In case of option sell (option writing), you just need to pay margin required by exchange. You do not have to pay premium.

      In the example provided by you, let us assume you want sell November Expiry. For your better understanding you may consider margin that is required for Nifty futures. As on date Nifty futures carry forward margin for 1 lot (75 qty) of Nov. expiry is 62000.

      You want to sell 3000 qty (40 lots), hence approximate carry forward margin required would be Rs. 24,80,000 (62000*40). For intraday you just need Rs. 6,20,000 (2480000/4). Margin charged will be even lesser if you trade through Cover Order and Bracket Order. Please refer our knowledge base for Intraday Margin and Exposure.

    Hi,

    I have a query on margins for BO..

    For last 10-12 days 17th sep t 29th sep, the margins have worked like below.

    Eg1 : Say If I want to buy SBI Fut at 240 .Target 243 & SL 238..Max loss is 1000* (240-238) = 2000..So If I have around 2200, I used to Buy 1 Lot of SBI Fut..That was superb..

    Eg2: Say If I want to buy Axis Fut at 501 Target 508 SL 495..Max loss is 500*(501-495) = 3000. So If I have around 3000-3200..I used to buy 1 lot of Axis Fut..Superb again..Its purely SL based..The more SL is close to buy price..the more margin i used to get..That was fantastic..

    But for last 2 days, (starting 30th sep)..Its just 5x margin i am getting to buy a Future..

    Why is not SL based..??? Margin based on SL is fantastic & Terrific..Why that feature is not working now..??

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Nagesh,
      Bracket order and Cover Order margins are based on a formula that involves Limit price, SL price and a few other parameters. So it is not just SL based. This is done to cover the risk in some of the lesser liquid contracts. We’ve always been using this formula from the day we launched Bracket Orders and have mentioned accordingly in our knowledge base too.

      For bracket order you get maximum of 5 times intraday exposure. You may refer to “Scrip Wise Exposure Limits

      We can’t commit anything but will certainly take this as a feedback and will look into what we can do about it.

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Parth,
      Suppose you have created an overnight position of Nifty sell call and in case market is going against you and your loss falls below 65% of margin available then you would need to transfer funds into your trading account. In case the fund is not deposited and loss increased further to 80% then we cut off your position from our end.

    Sir,thanks a lot for your kind opinion. kindly sent me necessary forms to open d’etat and trading. Account through my mail. One question if I want to sell nifty call costing 60000/. How much money should always remain my limit or bank during this trade?

    1. Trade Smart Online

      Hello Parth,
      Thank you for your interest in opening an account with us. Please fill in your online account opening form or you may also contact us on 022-42878000 for any further help.

      Margin required to sell Nifty call costing of 60000 would depend on various parameters. Let us look at an example for the better understanding.

      We assume that you are referring to a premium of 60000, and 7800 strike price of Nifty call. Let us say you want to sell Nifty call with quantity 200 at Rs.300 price (200*300=60000 Premium as per your example), the total contract value would be 2340000 (7800*300).
      For overnight position you just need to maintain 10.15% exchange prescribed margin i.e Rs.237150 (2340000*10.15%).
      For intraday, margin required would be Rs.59378 (237150/4) as you get 4 times exposure for Nifty intraday trading. Please note that all your intraday positions will be auto squared off after 3.10pm in case position is not closed by you.

      Please refer our knowledge base for scrip wise margins and exposures.

      For your information. please look into Intraday Square off Timings.

      Hope we addressed your query.

    Hi, I am senior citizen, I was told by my friends that the amount on trading deposits are not secured. Is there no security in stock markets in India?. Please give me information.

      Hi Suvankar,
      Sorry to hear that. Leverage is a double edged sword and must be used very carefully.

      In case you are new to stock market we’d suggest you try virtual trading for some some time to learn more about the same.

      We provide various technical indicators in our trading software which might help you make more informed trading decisions.
