Opstra and zerodha showing different margins

zerodha dnd opstra showing different margins. please help for solve the problem

suppose example. see the images u will get information clearly.


Use the broker margin calculator. That is the final which is required by Zerodha.

On Opstra you’re checking the margin for 5 lots and 6 lots on Kite. Even so, looks like Opstra is showing lesser margin. The margin displayed on Kite is correct, you can check using Margin Calculator as well:

ALICE BLUE and opstra are approx showing same. but Zerodha usesingmonthly margin, not weekly margin calculator. please check.

please see images

zerodha taking extra margin. becaues it is using MONTHLY Margin Calculator. not weelly. please check.


please check this image also

not showing weekly calculator. directly monthly. so extra margin taking.


see this monthly calculator

The margin requirement for weekly as well as monthly contracts will be similar.

As per screenshot shared by you the Margin required on Alice Blue is approx 272k. On Kite too you can see the Margin required is about 277k, but once both the orders are executed, you’ll get margin benefit and final margin blocked will be around 240k.

that’s correct. u understand
