How can I check the margin required in a basket order on FYERS?
You can see the estimated funds (margin) for your entire basket before placing it. The basket screen shows a single, consolidated figure so you can confirm affordability at a glance.
Steps
- Open Orders → Baskets and create or open a basket.
- Add all symbols/legs with quantities, product, and order type.
- Check the basket header/summary for Funds req. and your Funds avl.
Note: The estimate updates instantly when you add/remove items, change quantities, switch Order type/Product, or apply edits.
Tip: For strategies, add all legs first to see the combined requirement (including any netting/benefit) instead of checking leg by leg.
Heads-up: Using Multiplier on the app multiplies quantities for every item and increases Funds req. accordingly.
What if…
| Scenario | What you can do |
|---|
| Funds required looks higher than expected | Review product (INTRADAY/DELIVERY), order type (Mkt/LMT), and quantities. Remove extra legs or lower the Multiplier on the app. |
| I edited the basket but the number didn’t change | Confirm the edits are saved on each line. Reopen the basket once to refresh the summary if needed. |
| Margin benefit for my strategy isn’t visible | Ensure all hedge and exposure legs are inside the same basket and products are correct. Use Limit on sensitive legs to avoid rejections that break the combo. |
| Funds avl. is lower than Funds req. | Tap/Click Add funds or reduce quantities/Multiplier before execution. |
| One leg gets rejected when I try to place | Check price band, freeze quantity, or funds. Fix that leg, verify Funds req. again, and execute. |
