Nifty calender spread with calls or puts

[gmt900]

-To make a calender spread 'like' iron condor , one would need to place two calender spreads one each above & below LTP (double calender spread).
-Is there a substantial difference between margin for iron condor & double calender .
-you can also consider double diagonal later (kind of hybrid of iron condor & double calender)

good luck.

I have to get it confirmed, but from I was told margin for calendar spread would be as low as 5000 per lot. I will post once I get the confirmation.

That may be the figure for calender spreads for future contracts .
If it is 5000/lot for nifty options calender spread , it will open up many opportunities, please let us know the broker.
For zerodha , one can use there online margin calculator .

You mentioned OptionsOracle. How did you get the right name for Nse server in the Config window?

Since, I dont have it... it is using CBOE as default... and I don't quite trade in it so its useless

Comm has given you the clue. I followed the instructions in the thread 'Good
News OptionsOracle working' and somehow got it. Pls don't ask me exactly how I did it, because i will not be able to explain
