The margin required amount shows you the real-time margin needed for your trade before you place the order. This calculation considers your selected product type and order type.
How margin is calculated
- For F&O positions: Your margin requirement considers any margin benefits from hedged open positions in your portfolio.
- When exiting positions: The order window shows the margin required after closing the specified position. This indicates how much your portfolio margin utilisation will increase after closing that particular leg.
You may notice minor variations between the margins shown on the order window and the actual blocked margins for certain instruments. This is normal and occurs due to real-time calculation differences.
