can anyone tell me why
nifty feb 14750 ce shorting required margin of rs1,64,227.73 meanwhile buying same option required rs8,842 .
i m relatively new to options , when i saw nifty was at 14747 i thought of shorting 14750 ce which i thought should be cheap becoz its out of money trade ( i was pretty wrong clearly) it's cheap if you buy it but it's not same when you short it . why?
