Yes. If your basket includes a valid hedge (for example, offsetting option legs on the same index/stock), FYERS reduces the required margin as per the exchange margin framework once the relevant legs execute. The order window shows an estimate of this via Funds req; the final margin depends on which legs fill and the order in which they fill.
Tip: Add the hedging leg(s) in the same basket and compare Funds req before vs after to see the estimated reduction.
Important: Hedge benefits apply only when exchange offset rules are met and the required legs execute; partial/failed legs can remove the benefit.
| Scenario | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Only one side of the hedge fills | No hedge benefit yet; Funds req reflects the unhedged exposure until the other leg executes. |
| A hedge leg is rejected or not traded | Offset won’t apply. Modify/replace the leg and place again. |
| Legs have different expiries/strikes | Benefit depends on exchange offset rules; not all combinations qualify. |
| Preview shows lower margin than post-trade | Final margin follows executed prices/quantities; use Orders and the Contract Note for the final view. |
| Carrying the basket overnight | Ensure sufficient funds; overnight requirements follow exchange rules. |
