The margin requirement for SAR trading

SAR trading require double the quantity to be placed at trailing s.l. levels as one is always in trade long or short.

can it be placed if our a/c has margin for 1 lot only and the order to b placed for 2 lots ?

No you will need margin for 2 lots.

For everyone who don’t know SAR is basically Stop and reverse. When you are getting stopped out, you exit plus you take a reverse trade.

what is SAR trading.

Stop and reverse, so basically wherever your stop loss hits you not only exit the position but also take a reverse trade. So if you bought Nifty at 7700 with stop at 7650, at 7650 you exit the long and also take a fresh short.
