Hi,

If the new order is just a counter order to what you have already bought/sold you are not require to maintain extra margin, In fact you could also place a stop loss order with no extra margin.

I have also mentioned a link for 2 similar questions that arrive in the mind after this, Use the link to get the answers.

MARGINS- 2 EXIT ORDERS FOR 1 POSITION

1. I place a stop loss order at 5850 and place a profit target order to sell at 6100.

OR

2. I place 1 profit target order to sell at 6050 and 1 fresh short order at 6050 as I believe the price will come down once it touches this price.

Hope it helped :)
