1. Trading in Equities i.e. Shares Listed on NSE/BSE
All market participants can trade in the Equities or Cash Market Segment on the NSE/BSE using the following Product Types with Samcoa. For Intra-day Trades
Intraday traders can trade using 2 product types1. MIS – (Margin Intraday Square-off) In this MIS product type, additional leverage is available for intraday trades since there is lower risk to positions, especially since positions are not carried forward and therefore there is no overnight market risk. Clients will be required to chose MIS as a product type while placing their orders in the Samco Trader. By selecting MIS as a product type, leverage from 3x – 15x will be available depending on the liquidity of the stock. A total of 700+ stocks are available for trading in the MIS product type. However, one thing to remember is that all orders in the MIS product type should be compulsorily squared off before 3.14 pm failing to do which will require the Samco RMS to square-off positions at 3.15 pm. To see the full list of eligible stocks and their corresponding multipliers, check the Samco Margin Calculator on our website.2. CO – (Cover Orders)
For traders requiring even more intraday leverage than provided by the MIS product, a unique feature available with the Samco Trader is Cover Orders. When you select the Cover Orders as a product, you will be compulsorily required to enter a stop loss for your trade. In simple terms, a cover order is an order with a stop loss. This enables us to calculate the maximum risk to your positions and accordingly charge lower margins for intraday trades. More often than not, the margin levied in cover orders shall be [(Trade Price – Stop Loss Price) * Quantity]. A point to remember is that these orders too will be required to be squared up before 3.15 pm failing which they will be squared up by the Samco RMS Team.b. Delivery Trades
CNC – (Cash & Carry) :
To execute delivery trades with Samco, you will need to use the product type – CNC i.e. Cash and Carry. As the name suggests, you will need to completely pay up the margin for delivery trades upfront prior to executing a trade. In case you have Rs. 50,000 in your account, you will be able to buy the delivery of only Rs. 50,000 by using the CNC product type. Also, whilst selling in the CNC product type, you will be required to have the stock either in your Samco DP account or the Samco Client Beneficiary Account. You will not be permitted to sell stock which is not a part of the Samco ecosystem. This is to ensure stocks are sold only when stocks are available to be delivered to the exchanges as an obligation.Why do CNC trades require 100% Margin upfront? When stocks are purchased and carried forward, the price risk due to overnight events is extremely high. We have often seen stocks reacting to news events with 20% gap up/ gap down movements. In such cases, it's best to have un-leveraged positions that require a 100% margin.An important point to note is that positions can be converted from MIS to CNC and vice versa at any point in time subject to margin availability. For instance, if you had purchased 1,000 shares of Reliance @ Rs. 900/share in MIS product and blocked Rs. 1,80,000 in the margin (say 20%) and decided at 3 pm that you wanted to carry forward this as a CNC trade, all you’ll need to do is go to the Samco trader and convert your position from MIS to CNC. However, this conversion would be permitted only if you had Rs. 7,20,000 (CNC Margin difference of 80%) available in your account as a free balance.2.
