Margins Concluded

We have seen Margins, Margins for Options, Margin Calculations and so on. Let's tie any loose end.

Regarding payment of the Margin... I mentioned various ways of paying Margins which will differ from Broker to Broker in terms of acceptable instruments and limits against each instrument. However NSE has its own guidelines for that which can be read here.

As for the SPAN Margins... NSE releases SPAN Margin file six times a day. Once before start of the trading, 4 times during the day and once after the end of trading. You can download SPAN file here. Honestly, I have never downloaded this file and also it seems that it needs some kind of software to open it. Many brokers give SPAN data in Excel or XML formats and you can check with yours if you are enthu about it. Frankly I was never bothered about it.

Finally it will be a good idea to read through NSE Faq on Margins... it can clear lot of doubts about Volatility and it's calculation. You can take a look at this file here.

If you have any more questions about Margins which are not answered in above links... God save me. Just kidding, do let me know and I will try my best to dig out more information for you. Stay tunes for more.
