Don’t forget this please.
You will need additional funds to Buy Option. Total funds required will be 30k + Cost of Buying Option.
- Does this calculator include the cost of buying options also or needs to be added accordingly?
- Does this margin requirement change if we add weekly options for buying instead of monthly expiry options?
- If I realise some profit in my buying position and it has been booked. Now a margin shortfall will occur, what will happen to the position?
- Will it be closed or penalised based on the margin shortfall? If yes what will be the cost?
- Can I roll over weekly option for buying to avoid margin shortfall?

You need to add cost of buying.
Margins are more or less similar.
If you square-off your long position, margin requirement will shoot up and if you don’t have enough funds in account you will get margin call SMS to bring in funds if you fail to do so your position will be squared-off by RMS.
It’s upto RMS. Margin shortfall charges are explained here.
Roll-over isn’t possible, you would’ve to square-off your existing position and take fresh position in next week expiry, but can’t understand how this will help you avoid margin shortfall?
say for example If I close my existing long position on 11.30 and add a fresh long position on 11.45. will it create margin shortfall or it normalizes.
Margin requirement will shoot up when you square-off your Long Position and if you don’t have enough funds, you will receive margin call SMS to add extra funds, if you don’t bring funds RMS will square-off your position. So if you do it quickly margin requirement will be back to normal again.
Is there any time gap in between?
Can’t really tell. Maybe you should take long position first and then square-off existing long position this way there won’t be fluctuation in margin requirement and you won’t be at the risk of square-off from RMS.
Thank you.
@siva-reddy: I have open short positions (multiple lots) in RBL Bank 200 CE.
Yesterday in margin calculator, (on Sunday), the margin required was around 10 lakhs. Today (Monday) morning, the margin required increased to more than 12.4 lakhs.
What is the reason for this increase? When is the EOD margin updated in margin calculator each day? Is the margin calculator updated multiple times per day?
Thanks,

Only during working days. On weekends it would be of fridays. Monday morning new one will be updated.
sir just 1 suggestion when you implement this basket order pls mention you need this much funds and make sure all legs are placed at once some time long order gets placed and short orders are not ty
They are working hard to implement basket order. But when will it ? God only knows.
fingers crossed wait for it they are biggest broker in india
add one more to it your system should be able to recognize say i have 10000pe to reduce the risk later if i decide i want to sell 9900 pe i should be able to sell it n not to ask me place spread order again increasing my brokerage cost and transaction cost it
Brokerage and transaction costs are negligible. It is among the lowest for options compared to rest of the world.
Yes, orders will be placed one after other.
Let me give me example I was having long strangle 10000pe and 10700 ce as market was looking bullish n I wanted to reduce my bep I wanted to sell 9900pe broker told me I need to reenter,as I have already lost 10000pe again I needed 15k which was not possible as I lost on 10000pe which meant I needed additional funds which I was not having
Now I remember add I more feature if you can
say I bought 11500ce on delivery basis today n say I feel option was too costly I want to limit my loss as well as my profit I want to sell 11600ce it should be possible rather than making me close my buy trade and enter the spread again
