Hi
zerodha I have been trading between reliance \ ongc and nifty futures for almost 3-4 years in good quantities with religare where as i buy stocks and sell nifty futures against them basically they are hedged trades with index stocks
1.now i would like to know would i be able to sell nifty futures against the stocks i hold or will i have to bring in margin for nifty futures seprately
2 what will be the charges of ILFS each time i sell my delievery holdings its 15 rs one side or 15 rs for selling only , is it more if i sell more then 1000 2000 or 5000 reliance
3.if i get margin as i understand all brokers allow you to sell nifty against stocks
WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A HUGE SPURT IN NIFTY AND I HAVE SOME OVERNIGHT MTM , SAY NIFTY OPENS UP 5 % UP THOUGH MY STOCKS GAIN BUT NOT IN THAT PROPORTION AS I LOOSE MONEY IN NIFTY , would you then give my time to deposit mtm or square off my position my self or will you auto square off my stocks
4 With religare they dont square off my postion as i have 10 lack rs woth of reliance for 12 lacs rs of nifty i sell so even if my MTM loss is 1.5 lacks they still have 10 lacks worth of reliance and i can pay this amount or keep paying intrest till i bring in money or sell my postion how will it work at your end i usally take 5-6 positions every month
5 Does your RMS knows that i have these index stocks as usally where i trade the broker has own DP in your case as DP is ILFS i hope your system knows not to square of the nifty short postion when there is negative mtm
sorry for detailed questions but i was wondering if these trades can be done at your end as for 1000 reliance i pay 1000 + 1000 + STT Ect rs brokerage where as at your palce i will pay just 20 + 20 + STT Ect

Hi Mayank,
Answers for all ur questions:
1. You can use the stock as margin for your nifty positions, but the stock has to be pledged for using as margin(works similar with all brokers)...
2. Selling per scrip is Rs 15(only 1 side).... Doesn't matter what the quantity is ....
3,4... As long as the positions are similar to what you have described, you will never face any margin issues....with 10 lk of stocks if you have shorted 12lk of nifty, nifty has to go 10% higher for you to loose 1.2lks...
5. Though dp is with ILFS for a client it makes no difference at all.. it works seamless for the clients... Our risk management software also will work seamless, even if the margin is given in terms of stocks....
hope this helps...
Cheers...
