Are hedge benefits considered for margin calculation in basket mode on FYERS?

Yes. FYERS provides hedge margin benefit in Basket mode when your basket includes eligible offsetting option legs on the same index or stock.

The amount shown under Funds req is an estimate before execution. The final margin depends on the legs that execute, their prices, quantities, and order status.

Hedge margin in Basket mode

When you add eligible hedge legs to the same basket, FYERS estimates the reduced margin requirement as per the exchange margin framework. You can check this before placing the basket from the basket order window.

  • Funds req shows the estimated margin required for the basket.
  • Charges shows the estimated brokerage and other charges separately.
  • The hedge benefit is applied only when the required legs are eligible and executed.
