@rakeshr how is the margin required calculated ? Is it updated on realtime basis, communicating with API is delaying the order execution by a bit, is there anyway I can calculate it in the backend ?

It's calculated in real-time, considering your open positions and open orders.

It's a complex calculation. You can keep using order margin APIs. A more detailed explanation is given in this thread.
