Understanding Margin Trading
What is Margin?
- • Margin is the amount you need to deposit to open a leveraged position
- • Leverage allows you to control larger positions with less capital
- • 5.0x leverage means you can control ₹10,000 with ₹2,000
Margin Requirements:
- • Intraday: Typically 20% margin (5x leverage)
- • Delivery: Typically 50% margin (2x leverage)
- • F&O: Typically 10-15% margin (7-10x leverage, varies by contract)
- • Margin requirements vary by broker and stock volatility
Risks & Considerations:
- • Higher leverage = Higher risk. Small price movements can cause significant losses
- • Maintain adequate free margin to avoid margin calls
- • Monitor margin utilization - keep it below 80% for safety
- • Margin calls occur when your account equity falls below maintenance margin
- • Always use stop-loss orders when trading on margin
