Hey there is no such thing regarding margin for which you need to spend a big time on 'studying'.
Just go to zerodha margin calculator, set you pairs and required margin will display, same shall work with most of the brokers +/- 5%.
All your span and exposure queries will be sorted out.
And dont ask anything to RMs of your regular broker, except robbing the clients' fund they seldom know anything.

Right now I am trying to study the margin requirements for these strategies.
Unfortunately, most of the managers at brokerages are not knowledgeable about this subject.
For example, if one gets into calendar call/put or double calendar strategy, as long as one does not square off any leg, there is no need to keep any margin since the risk to both the trader as well as broker is nil.
Another issue is about exposure margin. Say, if for selling one lot nifty option, SPAN margin is 30,000 and exposure margin is 20,000, can the broker at his descretion waive exposure margin? Is it necessary to have securities in your Dmat account so that after hair cut broker has enough securities to enable him waive exposure margin?
I feel, if one wants to regularly trade in these strategies, margin requirements
is a very important part to reduce overall cost of the trade.
