Can I do BTST with MTF, and will I get the sell credit when I sell the next day?

Yes, FYERS allows you to execute BTST (Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow) trades using the MTF (Margin Trading Facility) product type. This gives you added flexibility while optimizing your capital usage.

BTST with MTF: Key Points

  • BTST Eligibility:
    You can place BTST orders using the MTF product type without restrictions.
  • Sell Credit:
    When the shares are sold the next day, the credit is reflected in your account and can be used the same day across all trading segments.
  • Interest Charges:
    Interest is levied for one day on the margin amount used for the BTST position. It stops accruing once the shares are sold.
  • Profit Availability:
    Profits made from BTST trades are credited and available for withdrawal or reuse on a T+1 basis.
