Margin for intraday trading in Angel One is calculated based on the exchange’s rules, your stock selection, and Angel One’s internal policies. It is usually a percentage of the trade value. For example, if you buy shares worth ₹1,00,000 and Angel One offers a 20x margin, you only need ₹5,000 in your account to take that position. The margin available depends on the stock's volatility, trading volume, and regulatory norms.

What is Margin in Intraday Trading?

Margin in intraday trading is the amount of money or percentage you need to keep in your account to trade stocks. It lets you take larger positions with less capital. In simple words, if you have ₹10,000 and the broker gives 5x margin, you can buy stocks worth ₹50,000. This is called leverage. However, this comes with both profit and risk potential.

How Does Angel One Calculate Intraday Margin?

Angel One calculates intraday margin based on SEBI’s margin rules, the stock's category (Group 1, 2 or 3), and the product type like MIS (Margin Intraday Square-off). They generally offer 5x margin for equity intraday trades under MIS. So, if a stock costs ₹100 and you want to buy 1000 shares (₹1,00,000 total), with 5x margin, you only need ₹20,000 in your account. The remaining amount is covered by Angel One temporarily for that day.

What Are the Margin Types in Angel One?

Angel One offers different types of margins based on how you trade:

• MIS (Margin Intraday Square-off): Higher leverage for intraday trading. Positions are squared off before market close.
• CNC (Cash and Carry): Used for delivery trades, no leverage given.
• NRML: For Futures and Options, margin depends on exchange and risk rules.

Intraday traders mostly use MIS where Angel One provides extra leverage, which means lower funds are required to trade big volumes.

How Much Margin Does Angel One Give for Intraday?

Angel One usually gives up to 5x margin for equity intraday using the MIS product. This means you can trade stocks worth ₹1,00,000 with just ₹20,000 in your account. But this margin depends on stock type, volatility, and SEBI rules. Some stocks might have less or no margin based on their risk level. Always check the margin list on Angel One before trading.

What Factors Affect Intraday Margin in Angel One?

Many factors affect the margin Angel One gives:

• SEBI Regulations – Rules keep changing to protect investors.
• Stock Volatility – Risky or low liquidity stocks may get lower margin.
• Market Conditions – During high market risk, brokers reduce margin.
• Your Trading Segment – Equity, F&O, commodities have different rules.

Is Margin Same for All Stocks in Intraday?

No, margin is not the same for all stocks. Stocks are grouped based on liquidity and volatility. Angel One offers higher margin on high-volume, less risky stocks like large-cap companies.
