Margins

Margin is the minimum amount required to buy/sell. Margins are always collected in advance. Various margins applicable are:

1. Span Margin:

SPAN margin is the upfront Margin required by the exchanges in the derivatives segment. It is calculated on a portfolio (a collection of futures and option positions) based approach.

2. Additional/ Exposure Margin:

‘Exposure Margin’ is the margin blocked over and above the SPAN to cushion for any MTM losses. Both the SPAN and Exposure margins are specified by the exchange. So at the time of initiating a futures trade, the client has to adhere to the initial margin requirement. The entire initial margin (SPAN + Exposure) is blocked by the exchange. Span + Exposure = Initial Margin (Total Margin)

3. VAR Margin: (Value at risk margin):

The VaR Margin is a margin intended to cover the largest loss that can be encountered on 99% of the days (99% Value at Risk). For liquid stocks, the margin covers one-day losses while for illiquid stocks, it covers three-day losses so as to allow the Exchange to liquidate the position over three days. These Margins are collected upfront for the trading in the Equity segments (normal Equity and MTF).

4. GSM / ASM Margin:

GSM stands for ‘Graded Surveillance Measure’ and ASM stands for ‘Additional Surveillance Measure’. In order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Exchanges, have been introducing various enhanced surveillance measures such as reduction in price band, periodic call auction and transfer of securities to Trade to Trade segment from time to time. This additional surveillance initiative is part of SEBI and the Exchanges initiative to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.

The Client agrees and undertakes to immediately deposit with CHANDRAKALA such cash, securities or other acceptable security, which CHANDRAKALA may require as margin. The Client agrees that CHANDRAKALA shall be entitled to require the Client to deposit with CHANDRAKALA a higher margin than that prescribed by the Exchange.

The Margin will not be interest bearing. CHANDRAKALA shall have, at its sole discretion, the irrevocable right to set off a part or whole of the Margin i.e., by the way of appropriating of the relevant amount of cash or by sale or transfer of all or some of the Securities which form part of the Margin, against any dues of the Client or of a member of the group of the Client (for the purposes of these Terms, “Group” shall mean all the individuals, group companies, firms, entities and the persons as specified in the schedule to the Member Client Agreement) in the event of the failure of the Client or a member of the Group of the Client to meet any of their respective obligations under these Terms.

The client agrees and authorizes CHANDRAKALA to determine the market value of securities placed as margin after applying a haircut that CHANDRAKALA may deem appropriate. The client undertakes to monitor the market value of such securities on a continuous basis. The client further undertakes to replenish any shortfall in the value of the margin consequents to a fall in the market value of such securities placed as margin immediately whether or not CHANDRAKALA intimates such shortfall.

CHANDRAKALA may at its sole discretion prescribe the payment of Margin in the form of cash instead of or in addition to margin in form of securities. The Client accepts to comply with the requirement of CHANDRAKALA with regards to payment of Margin in the form of cash immediately. Without prejudice to the stock broker’s other rights (including the right to refer a matter to arbitration), the stock broker shall be entitled to liquidate / close out all or any of the client’s positions for non- payment of margins or other amount, outstanding debts, etc., and adjust the proceeds of such liquidation / close out, if any, against the client’s liabilities / obligations.

The client agrees to abide by the exposure limits, if any, set by the stock broker or by the Exchange or Clearing Corporation or SEBI from time to time.

The client is also aware that CHANDRAKALA is required to deposit sufficient margin with the Exchange to enable all its eligible clients to trade subject to such limits as may be imposed by CHANDRAKALA on the basis of CHANDRAKALAs’ Risk perception and other factors considered relevant by CHANDRAKALA. However, there may be circumstances when the deposits made by CHANDRAKALA with the Exchange may not be sufficient in times of extreme volatility and trading terminals of CHANDRAKALA may get temporarily suspended because of the cumulative effect of non-meeting of obligation by various clients as per this agreement. In these circumstances, no client shall have the right to claim any damages from CHANDRAKALA for any loss that they might incur on account of such suspension of trading.

The Client agrees that any securities/cash placed by him/her/it as margin may in turn be placed as margin by CHANDRAKALA with the Exchanges, clearing corporation or banks or such other institution as CHANDRAKALA may deem fit.

Risk Management Policy

CHANDRAKALA’s right to change the margins under any conditions without any notice.

CHANDRAKALA shall increase the margins at any time, during the trading day or on any special day where CHANDRAKALA anticipates higher volatility in the market due to any of the following reasons without any notice:

• Exchange policy changes or regulation
• Government policy changes or regulation
• Stock broker internal policy changes
• Excessive or abnormal market movement / turnover / volatility in the domestic & Global markets.
• Any upcoming election results/ any other political changes.

What are the terms for the squaring /close out the Positions/ Stocks etc by CHANDRAKALA ?

CHANDRAKALA reserves and retains the right to sell or square off the client’s open positions in any segment of any exchange and the Client Unpaid Securities Account (CUSA) stocks/ Pledged Securities / etc. under the following conditions listed below and CHANDRAKALA shall not be held responsible for any loss/charges due to the square off /non- square off positions as per this policy.

1) When there is a Margin Shortfall

It is the responsibility and onus of the client to continuously monitor his positions and bring in additional margin when required. Client may need to bring in additional margins due to MTM loss or margins being increased by the exchange. Client must ensure that there is no Margin shortfall in the account. The Account is said to have a Margin Shortfall if the Available Balance as reflected in the Trading Platform is negative, I.e , the Available Margin is Less than the Margin Required on the open positions.

In event of Margin Shortfall, CHANDRAKALA reserves the right to reduce or completely square off the client’s open positions. Margin Reports are also sent from the back office every day when client has open positions. It is possible for the margin to change after the client has taken the position. Clients are required to monitor the applicable margins on their positions at all times and ensure that there is no margin shortfall to prevent partial or complete liquidation of the open positions.

Since liquidation of positions is not a fully automated action in the system, CHANDRAKALA can only square off positions on a best effort basis. It is possible that due to extreme volatility / market freeze or any other conditions, the Margin Utilized may exceed much beyond the required capital / margin placed by the client before CHANDRAKALA can successfully square off / reduce the positions. In all / any events CHANDRAKALA cannot be held responsible for such losses or charges incurred. Under no circumstances can the client transfer his/her responsibility of Monitoring his/her positions to CHANDRAKALA.

In the Equity Future /Commodity Future there are possibilities of freezing of contracts at any time during the trading hours. During this freeze period of the contracts, CHANDRAKALA shall not be in a position to square off the positions as per the RMS policy. Similarly, even in Illiquid options there exists possibility that there are no counter parties available to square off the positions. Hence in this scenario, CHANDRAKALA shall not be held responsible for any losses due to the non-squaring off the positions.

2) MIS / Cover Order (CO) –time based Square off:

Any positions taken under MIS / Cover Order (CO) shall be automatically squared off, at any time within the last half an hour of market close for the respective exchanges and segments if the positions continue to be open at that time. Client has the option to convert a MIS position to normal position (NRML) if adequate margin is available in the trading account. CO positions cannot be converted but can be exited. This client should convert his MIS open positions or exit his/her CO open positions before the beginning of auto square off mode of the MIS/CO product. Since these are system-based actions and successful triggering of time based square off may depend variables which maybe beyond the control of CHANDRAKALA, CHANDRAKALA does not in any manner guarantee the successful triggering of time based square off under MIS/CO product. It is the responsibility and onus of the client to continuously monitor his positions taken under the intraday products and square them off well before the stipulated cut off time for time based square off. In the event of trading system failure during this time, CHANDRAKALA shall on a best effort basis square off clients MIS positions in alternate system, if available and possible. Due to thousands of such positions to be squared of manually it may not be possible for CHANDRAKALA to successfully square of clients MIS/CO positions due to system failure. Under such circumstances client cannot hold CHANDRAKALA responsible for any losses/charges.

3) Margin Call square off – Margin Trade Funding (MTF) account: NA

 

CLIENT UNPAID SECURITIES ACCOUNT (CUSA) Policy

CHANDRAKALA shall transfer the clients’ securities received in pay-out (T+1) to clients’ demat account within one working day. But in case if the securities received in pay-out are not paid fully by the client, then CHANDRAKALA may retain those securities in “CLIENT UNPAID SECURITIES ACCOUNT (CUSA)” and these securities will be transferred to the client’s respective demat account upon the fulfillment of funds obligation in the account. Further if at any time the client fails to meet the funds pay-in obligation within five trading days (5) from pay-out day(T+1) then CHANDRAKALA shall liquidate the securities in the market to recover the debits/dues in the account including the penalty/interest/ accrued interest/DP charges/ any other uncleared charges etc..

CHANDRAKALA shall liquidate these securities in the CUSA account based on various parameters including but not limited to liquidity, volatility, categorization, concentration, or any single stock or set of stocks that has value close to the amount Due, or based on any corporate action that is getting triggered in the stocks held or events that could trigger price fluctuation in any particular sector or a particular company. CHANDRAKALA may in its sole discretion, determine the time of sale and securities to be disposed off (Not FIFO Method) and or which open position is / are to be liquidated / closed. Further CHANDRAKALA shall not make any pre-order confirmation /margin calls prior to the liquidation of the securities and CHANDRAKALA shall not be held liable for any loss that arise due to the liquidation of securities.

CHANDRAKALA shall not allow the client to initiate any buy trade immediately after the liquidation of the securities due to debit balances in the client account on 5th day. It is because further exposure is disallowed as the old debit is not realized and it will be allowed only on the realization of the debits in the account. Further, CHANDRAKALA at its discretion ought to liquidate the securities, if any taken immediately after the liquidation of the unpaid securities on 5th day and shall not be held liable for any loss out of this liquidation.

Policy for Penny stock:

It is a stock that trades at a relatively low price and market capitalization. These types of stocks are generally considered to be highly speculative and high risk because of their lack of liquidity, large bid-ask spreads, small capitalization and limited following and disclosure.

Good Till Trigger (GTT)

Features and Terms

This is a special order type where you can place a buy or sell order at any price and it will stay valid till the time it gets triggered subject to a maximum duration of one year for equities and 1day prior to contract expiry for derivatives

GTT order can be placed only as CNC in equity and NRML for Derivatives, which means that necessary margin/ holdings would be required for a GTT order to be sent to exchange when triggered. Also, GTT can be placed only as a limit order with a trigger price. For a buy order, the trigger price should be preferably lower than the limit price and for a sell order, the trigger price should be preferably higher than the limit price for better chance of GTT orders getting traded.

Special Features of GTT Orders

• They are valid up-to 1 year for Equity and 1 day prior to expiry for Derivatives (if not triggered) and you need not repeat the order on a daily basis.
• The trigger price can be anything and need not be within the DPR or Daily Price Range. This means that you may place an order for a scrip at Rs. 500 even if it trades at Rs. 1000 Rupees
• GTT can be placed in Equity and Derivatives across various segments to a maximum of 20 orders per client.
• GTT is an order maintained at our Servers and it gets pushed to the Exchange only when the LTP hits the trigger price

Verification of GTT Order

The orders once placed can be viewed only under GTT Order Book and it will not reflect in the normal Order Book. You can also modify or cancel your GTT orders until it gets triggered.

Validity of GTT

Good Till Trigger order, as the name suggests is valid only till the order gets triggered or for a period of 1 year for Equity and 1 day prior to expiry for Derivatives, whichever is earlier. The moment your GTT order gets triggered, it loses its validity beyond that day (i.e., the day of trigger)

Risks of GTT

• GTT order does not check for available margin or stock at the time of placing order. It means that a GTT buy order will be accepted even if there is 0 margin and GTT Sell will be accepted even if there is no stock holding at the time of placing the order. It verifies the margin / availability of stock only when the GTT order gets triggered
• GTT doesn’t guarantee execution of order. In a volatile market, there are lot of possibilities for the trigger price to be touched but the limit price is skipped. In such a case, the GTT order will be pushed to Exchange the moment the trigger price is hit but will stay pending if the market price jumps above the limit price in case of BUY order or below the limit price in case of SELL Order. The pending order, will eventually get cancelled once the market closes for the day like any other normal limit order that is not executed for the day.
• It is your responsibility to check the pending GTT for a scrip before placing an order on the same scrip
• GTT Orders may not be placed, rejected, cancelled, not executed, etc., due to various scenario which may include the below. These are just guidelines of scenario in which GTT may not work but are not exhaustive.
  • Corporate action– Chandrakala reserves the right to cancel GTT orders on stocks which involve a corporate action before the ex date though Chandrakala does not guarantee the same. It is your sole responsibility to modify or cancel the GTT order prior to corporate actions.
  • Series Change– If the series of the stocks changes
  • GTT Validity expiry– The orders will be cancelled after 365 days for equity and 1 day prior to expiry for Derivatives if not triggered.
  • ASM/GSM– Scrip Moves from one Graded Surveillance to another, like ASM to GSM
  • Blocked/Banned stocks– Scrip in which GTT is placed moves to any category in which Chandrakala generally does not allow trades according to internal RMS policy
  • Network Outages– Due to fluctuation in internet connection, broadcast, connectivity with Exchange or any other technical issues
  • Margin Shortfall– There is no sufficient margin at the time of pushing order to the Exchange
  • DPR limit– Order will also be rejected by the exchange after getting triggered, if the limit price is not within the circuit limit or DPR (daily price range)
  • Volatility/Flash Trade– If the trigger price gets hit but the order doesn’t get executed at a limit price due to volatility or due to reasons mentioned in (f) or flash trade or any other such reason
  • Blocked/ Illiquid Options– If a GTT is triggered for an option contract that isn’t allowed for trading by Chandrakala.
  • Derivative Expiry– GTTs for derivative contracts are only valid 1 day prior to series expiry. Pending GTTs for a contract will be cancelled one day prior to expiry.
  • RMS policies– There are various checks that the RMS at Chandrakala does on a pre-trade basis as and when GTT orders get triggered, but before orders are placed at the Exchanges. All such checks are done as per the rules of the Exchanges, SEBI, RBI & Chandrakala’s internal risk management policies and procedures.

The margin exposure is decided on the credit balances available in the client account and also as per the risk parameters set in the system.

The surveillance department monitors each and every transaction of the clients. If any heavy bulk or suspicious transaction is done by the client, then the same is reported to the Principal Officer of the company.

Special attention shall be paid to all complex unusually large transactions / patterns which appear to have no economic purpose.
