Trading on ICICIDirect Mobile App: Key Margin Terms Explained

1. Margin Buy (Intraday Buy)

• What it means:
  You buy stocks for the day using borrowed money from ICICIDirect.

• Why use it:
  You can trade more shares than your actual balance allows.

• Key Points:

  • You must sell before market close (same day).

  • Lower capital needed (usually 5–20% of total value).

  • Useful for intraday traders.

Example:
You have ₹10,000 → With 5x margin, you can buy stocks worth ₹50,000 for intraday.

2. Margin Sell (Intraday Sell / Short Sell)

• What it means:
  You sell stocks you don’t own, aiming to buy them back cheaper within the same day.

• Why use it:
  To profit from falling stock prices.

• Key Points:

  • Only for intraday.

  • You must buy back the shares by end of day.

  • Margin helps you short-sell with lesser funds.

Example:
You sell a stock at ₹100 and buy it back at ₹95 → You make ₹5 profit per share.

3. Margin Plus Order (M+ Order)

• What it means:
  A high-leverage intraday order with pre-set stop-loss.

• Why use it:
  ICICIDirect gives even higher margin (up to 20x) if you set a stop-loss.

• Key Points:

  • You must set a stop-loss (to limit losses).

  • Trades auto-squared off before market close.

  • Lower risk due to stop-loss.

  • Higher leverage → trade bigger with less money.

Example:
You want to buy ₹1,00,000 worth of stock. With 20x margin, you may only need ₹5,000 in your account, as long as you set a stop-loss.

How These Help You Trade with Less Money

How to Place a Margin/M+ Order in ICICIDirect Mobile App:
