Guys,
Thanks for all of your support! After more than a month of launch, we have had the opportunity to interact with some of the best customers ever :thumb:.
This was also a great way for us to learn more about what you guys all want and what we can do next to help. We have used the past month and a half to work hard on improving our systems, service and support. We have some good news for all of you! Margin requirements for futures have now dropped from 60% applicable margin to 50%
And it won't stop there. We are working on getting it down more and working on giving you more leverage on equity.
On options, we are now moving to a single product code -- NRML. We have noticed that most of our clients actually use NRML and not many use MIS. If you buy options, there's no difference in the margin required for MIS vs NRML since you are required to pay the premium amount. However, for selling options, there won't be a margin benefit through NRML. The reason is that there is that since you already get a premium amount back from the exchange AND a margin benefit, you can increase your a/c balance by writing options in MIS. This poses a huge risk for a broker like us. Anyways, we have personally called all of our clients who utilize this and they don't mind it
A very small percentage of them were doing this.
On stocks against margin (for my_investment
, we are not ready to provide the same as of yet. I know we promised we'd get it up in 2 months but there are issues working with IL&FS on it. We will try to work something on our end so that once it's up, EVERYONE has access to it and it's super easy to do it.
We're working hard on improving things on our end. Margin benefits is the #1 feature requested by our clients. We're also working on bringing other benefits in the future
.
Best,
RKSV
