uTrade AlgosNo, margin requirements for F&O trading differ between intraday and overnight positions. The margin needed depends on the trading duration, risk involved, and regulatory norms set by SEBI and exchanges.
Intraday Margin: Intraday positions require lower margin requirements as they are squared off before the market closes. Traders can leverage higher positions with reduced capital. If not squared off manually, your position may auto-close the position before the trading session ends.
Overnight Margin: Overnight positions require the full margin as per exchange regulations. Since these trades are carried forward beyond the trading session, traders must maintain SPAN + Exposure Margin to cover potential risks. This makes the margin requirement for overnight positions significantly higher than for intraday trades.
To check the margin required for F&O positions, traders can use the Share India Margin Calculator. It provides real-time margin details based on the selected instrument, expiry, and lot size. Keeping track of margin requirements is crucial to avoid auto-square-off or margin calls, which may lead to unexpected losses.
