Futures: How to calculate margin required?

[Amit_Kumar_Sharma]

Hi,

Objective: Calculate the margin required for entering a future position

I can calculate the contract value easily using ‘complete_instruments.csv’
Contract value = Futures Price × Lot Size

Is there the margin % defined in some file that we can use? Like we have the haricut file for MTF?

I know we have the Margin API, but i am looking for an offline mechanism.

Thanks,
Amit

We do not have a file for margin percentage, you would have to refer to margin API only.

Thanks!
