Circuit Breaker

To save losses SEBI has put a limit on the movement of a stock. That is known as circuit breaker.

A share cannot go up more than 20% as well it cannot come down to more than 20%.

Suppose share A has previous close as INR 100. It will move in the range of 80 to 120. It cannot go up more than INR 120 and it cannot move below 80.

If a share is moving up continuously, circuit breaker for that share will be 20% for first 2 days then it will be 10% for next 2 days after it will 5% afterwards.


There is no circuit on those stocks whose derivative is available.

Intraday Margin

Suppose you have INR 100 in your D-mat account, you can buy up to INR 500 for intraday. 5 times intraday margin is standard for every broking firm (it may vary from company to company). (Why 5 times? Because stocks have their circuit breaker at 20% ) When you buy shares for INR 500, INR 400 is paid by the broker. That’s why margin is given only for intraday. It is given for generating more and more brokerage. When you buy a share for 100Rs. Its your share, you can sell it whenever want you want to sell it. When you buy shares for 500Rs, you have to book profit or loss for the same day. That’s how people get loss from the market. And they curse market. Don’t trade on margins. Trade in your limits.
