plz visit other threads in options section of this forum. There have been discussion on this. chk out the thread started by Sameer related to margin etc.

First check with your broker's /or their site.. cause each broker can decide their own rules about margin amount. NSE gives a guidence about how much margin amt should be but brokers do override that and use different rules..

So with your broker and then Ask your specific question here.

Happy Trading

Re: Option Stratergies Margin Requirment Query

HI Leena,

When you write an option , you have to pay the margin also , which will be refunded to you when you square up the option / on expiry. The premium you get to keep straight away. if you square up then ( which means you are buying back ) then you have to pay the prevailing premium at that time for the said option. Hence you profit = (sell price - buy back price) * 50 per lot . And the moment you square up your margin is freed. My broker charges same for nifty futures and option writing. Check with yours what he charges.

This applies for each and every option you write in whatever spread / straddle/ strangle ..et al.... be it in Nifty or stock future .

Hope its clear now .

regards

Leena, Margin requirement is reality of trading in leveraged instruments. So, whenever you take an obligation (and hence yr broker takes that obligation on yr behalf), you need to put in security deposit
which is nothing but Margin.

So if you are executing any other option strategy which results in obligation (i..e Selling options), you will have to put Margin.
If you just buy option, then u don't have to put margin money.. Just pay the price of purchase and thats it.

Happy Trading

btw - emotional control and patience is one of the core characteristic of successful trader, so plz do keep tab on that for your trading success. Market puts us under emotional roller-coaster with every tick on the chart so we got to be on top of our emotions.
