Upstox Leverage Exposure

Upstox provides intraday margins across equities, F&O, commodities, and currency futures. The intraday margin is applicable for the same day trade and not for the next days' executions. Positions for equities and F&O squares-off at 3:15 PM automatically. Whereas, positions for currency futures square off at 4:45 PM. For commodities, the positions square off 30 minutes before the commodity closing timing.
Upstox Exposure- Key Points
Upstox Margin Calculator
Upstox also offers Span Margin calculator to calculate each type of margins such as span, exposure, net premium, ELM and VaR.
What is Exposure Multiplier?
Exposure multiplier is the term defining the number of times the exposure margin is allowed in the cash segment. This exposure is made based on the availability of cash or stocks in the brokers' account.
How does Collateral or margin against shares work?
This margin facility is for the customers who have shares in their Demat account for long-term purposes. Here is an example of how it works:
Suppose a client has shares of 2 companies in the Demat account. He has 200 shares of Sun Pharmaceuticals Ind Ltd and 90 shares of Reliance Capital Ltd. If he pledges for 100 shares of Sun Pharma (available at Rs 414) to take future positions. The total value of the pledge request will be 100*414= Rs 41,400. Upstox will deduct 25% haircut which is Rs 10,350 from the total pledge value. The remaining balance which is Rs 31050 will be available as a collateral margin.
Based on the collateral available, he can accordingly place his trades.
