Margin blocked will be addition of margin calculated for first leg order and maximum loss as per second leg order. Margin is computed using below formula:
Derivative Cover Buy order: Quantity * [(WAP of Best 5 Offers * Margin %) + (WAP of Best 5 Offers – Limit price of Cover Sell stop loss Order)]
Derivative Cover Sell order: Quantity * [(WAP of Best 5 Bids * Margin %) + (Limit Price of Cover Buy stop loss Order – WAP of Best 5 Bids)]
E.g. Suppose following are the best 5 bid and offer prices available and client places derivative cover buy order for 100 NIFTYFUT with limit price at Rs 8300, and say margin % for NIFTYFUT is 1%.
