I don't have idea about the exact amount (called as MARGIN MONEY) required for trading in futures...
it's basically a % of the total contract value (market price * lot size).
This % is different for all stocks, depending on their liquidity & recent volatility. It can be as low as 10% and as high as 90% sometimes....
(IF YOU THIS % FIGURE FOR A PARTICULAR STOCK, THEN VISIT NSEINDIA.COM, ENTER SCRIP NAME IN "GET QUOTE", & IN THE CASH MARKET RATE IN THE LAST ROW, YOU WILL FIND APPLICABLE MARGIN RATE - BROKERS ADD SOME % FROM THEIR SIDE TO THIS NSE-SPECIFIED %)
For nifty (BEING THE UNDISPUTED KING IN F&O , I guess it should be around 10% ...
SO, if you trade 1 lot of mini nifty (lot size = 20), then you would require around (2800*20)*10% = Rs. 5600 (2800 is assumed to be current market price)
For 1 lot of Big Nifty Future (lot size = 50), it should be (2800*50)*10% = Rs. 14000/-
accordingly, 0.5% will be (2800*20)*0.5% = Rs 280 per lot gross profit, in case of Mini Nifty Future
and (2800*50)*0.5% = Rs 700/- per lot gross profit, in case of Big Nifty Future.
