Intraday Trade Value & Margin Formula
Calculates the trade capital size and required margin deposits for leverage trading.
Worked Example: Buying 100 shares of a stock at ₹500 with a 5x margin multiplier
Intraday Leverage: Trading larger volumes with margin multipliers
Deepak had ₹10,000 in trading capital and wanted to buy shares of a stock priced at ₹500. Under normal delivery trading, he could only buy 20 shares. However, his broker offered 5x leverage for intraday trades.
Using the Intraday Margin Calculator, he found he could open a position of 100 shares valued at ₹50,000 using his ₹10,000 as margin. When the stock rose by 2% (₹10), Deepak made ₹1,000 profit, multiplying his investment return.
Intraday margin multipliers allow traders to borrow capital from the broker to execute high-volume short-term trades.
Leverage multiplies both profits and losses. If the stock fell by 10%, Deepak's entire ₹10,000 margin would be wiped out, triggering auto-liquidation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an intraday margin multiplier?
A margin multiplier is the leverage factor provided by your broker. A 5x multiplier means you can buy ₹50,000 worth of stock with only ₹10,000 in your account.
Can I hold intraday positions overnight?
No. Intraday leverage positions (MIS) are automatically squared off by the broker before the market closes if you don't exit them manually.
What happens if my intraday trade hits a huge loss?
If your losses exceed your available margin, the broker will automatically square off (liquidate) your position to prevent the account balance from going negative.
