Hello @BA2Trader,
1.Direct Collateral - is the collateral amount present in your trading account. This collateral amount is calculated after applying a haircut on the shares pledged.
The approved list of shares eligible for pledging and its haircut % is available in this list
2.Premium present - is the premium amount you receive in your account when you sell an option, either a call or a put.
Suppose SBI Mar 270 CE is trading at 10 and you sell one lot (3000 qty) of this option, then you will receive a Premium of Rs. 30,000( 3000 * 10) from the person who buys the option from you.
3.Span Margin - is the margin blocked by the exchange for Futures Buying/Selling and Option Selling. It is a % of the contract value.
4.Exposure Margin - is the margin blocked by the broker for Futures Buying/Selling and Option Selling. It is a % of the contract value.
For HDFCBANK, the SPAN margin % is 7.51% and the Exposure Margin % is 5% of the entire contract value.
This is the list which contains the Span and Exposure margin % for all F&O stocks.
5.Adhoc margin - is the margin added by the Risk Management team at a time when there is a shortfall of funds to close any open position for the day. This Adhoc margin is then added, the position is then squared off and the Adhoc margin is then released from the account.
6.Realized MTM - is the Mark-To-Market (daily profit/loss) for all your closed positions.
7.Unrealized MTM - is the Mark-To-Market (daily profit/loss) for all your open positions.
8.Free cash - is the cash which is free for a new position.
9.Total Margin - is the sum of the margins used for positions and the free cash available.
