Clear guides on leverage, liquidation, and margin — written for Indian F&O traders.
Leverage is a multiplier, not a strategy. Learn the 5 rules every Indian F&O trader should follow before using high leverage on NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, or stock futures — without blowing up your account.
A margin call is a notice; auto square-off is the actual exit. Learn how SEBI's peak margin rules work, when brokers square off your positions, what slippage you'll face, and how to defend open positions before it gets to that point.
Option Greeks tell you how an option's price will move before it actually moves. Learn Delta, Gamma, Theta, and Vega with real NIFTY examples — and how to use them to make smarter F&O decisions.
STT (Securities Transaction Tax) is charged on every F&O trade in India. Learn the current rates, why expired ITM options carry a hidden STT shock, and how traders outside the NSE/BSE framework avoid it entirely.
Isolated margin contains each trade's risk; cross margin shares margin across positions. Learn the difference, the math, and which Indian F&O traders should use.
Liquidation price is the level at which your leveraged futures position is automatically closed. Learn how it's calculated, why transparent liquidation matters, and how to use it as an Indian F&O trader.
