Even now one can withdraw any money that is not blocked.
RMS will check only one leg at a time, placing all at a time won’t be much help for above, sequence is important, for ex Placing a buy leg first would allow us to get margin benefit upfront when another sell leg is involved, we are working something on this.
Cross margin benefit between cash and derivatives segment is not given in SPAN. So there won’t be any benefit for this. However, you can pledge the ETF units and use the collateral required to fulfill the margin requirement.
Yes, margins will be lower for such strategies too.
However, margins will go up close to the expiry as one of the positions will be exposed. If you roll over correctly, you can maintain the position utilizing the margin benefit fully.
@MohammedFaisal hi can you please confirm if my calculation is correct or not
for bear call sell 12000 CE and buy 12100 CE , margin required is 5844+18120=24000 (approx) ?
Great News. But Zerodha restricts buying most OTM options which would be used for hedging. Atleast should allow equal number of buy options at any strike of what sold (so overall OI remains same). @nithin@siva-reddy
You can as per my understanding, if you can let me know exact case we can check on that because if margin is not blocked you can use it to buy other or even withdraw.If one closes any single leg in a hedged position then there won’t be margin benefit.
