    Commodity Margin And Settlement

    How can I add more margin?

    You can easily add funds anytime using the "Add Margin" option available on the Open Positions page > Click on Particular Open Position. This may help protect your open positions from automatically squared off, in case of margin shortfall. Important to note, any excess margin you have added for particular position during the day, will be released back to your Commodity Limit in End of Day (EOD) process.

    Another way to safeguard your position form margin shortfall is to keep extra allocation of cash or securities/collateral limits in commodity segment so that in case available margin in any of your position goes below the minimum margin, system will automatically pool the required margin amount (Difference between IM and AM) from commodity limit section if sufficient additional limit is available in commodity segment.

    Funds are available in my bank account, but I still got a margin call. Why? Why was my position auto-squared off by the system? Where can I check the margin shortfall report for positions that were force-squared off by system? What does "squaring off" a position mean? Can I use my shares to trade in commodities? What is ICICI Securities' Peak Margin? Do I need cash if I am using Shares as Margin (SAM) for my commodity position? What is the total margin requirement for commodity futures? Can my margin requirements change after I’ve entered a trade? Are margins for futures and options combined? How can I see exactly how much margin I will be charged? Why did my margin requirement suddenly increase? How are commodity contracts settled at expiry? Can I take physical delivery of commodities like Gold or Copper? What happens if I don't square off my position before expiry? What is "Inter-adjustment" or "Netting of Funds"? Why wasn't the full amount from my closed commodity trade returned to my bank? What is EOD MTM (End of Day Mark-to-Market)? How do I check for a margin shortfall on an open commodity position? What is "Available Margin"? What are "Initial Margin" and "Minimum Margin"? Can commodity prices go negative?
