Hello traderite,
There seems to be some misunderstanding. We'd encourage you to check with NOW if this can be done.
Let's take an example,
Value of 1 lot of Banknifty @ 11800 = 11800 x 25 = 295000
Margin % at Rs 7000 /lot = (7000/295000) x 100 = 2.3%
Considering the stop loss is to be 1% below this 2.3%, it'll have to be around 1.3%.
According to NOW team, this can not be done as they have fixed the stoploss % at 2.5-3%.
So if you are looking for margin benefit, yes it'd be much more in case of stock futures.
Currently there's a feature missing in NOW without which we'd not like to start cover orders in stock futures. We've requested NOW to include the same. Once that is done, it'll be launched for stock futures too.

I asked my friend and he said that whenever he placed the cover order , a warning came up as a pop up message that the client's margin has crossed certain limit [somewhat high], and it needed an ok to continue to place an order.
I have started using NOW recently only so not able to tell things as precisely as they should be and my statements refer to a third person communication and might have flaws so its good that you place your point effectively for clarity.
Thanks.
