in that case sell options or spreads

how much to buy 1 lot in rupees?
and margin for selling 1 lot is same 2k?
I think selling margin will be same as future 2k.
soft_trader sells USDINR calls so he may reply if sees this post.
For buying USDINR options you need to pay the premium.

For option writing the margin depends on strike price i.e. how far the strike is from LTP. Usually it is approximately 1800 rupees. And varies from 1600-2200. So as a thumb rule I keep margin of 2k for each lot in my account.

I prefer options to futures, because I am bad at predicting directions. Burnt my hands badly with futures. Option writing provides some headroom and allows to me at least adjust my position to some extent.
