The margin blocked during a trade acts as a safeguard against adverse price movements. At FYERS, we typically block slightly more than the minimum required margin to provide a cushion. This extra buffer helps prevent positions from being prematurely squared off due to minor intraday price fluctuations.
If the stock moves significantly against your position, your losses may exceed the initially blocked margin. In such cases, additional funds may be required to maintain your position, and FYERS may initiate a square-off if the margin shortfall becomes critical.
For a complete explanation on how FYERS handles losses beyond the margin blocked, please refer to the article: What happens if the losses incurred are higher than the total margin blocked?
