Clarification regarding Margins -

debon1410

Hi Team ,

Please let me know why I am getting margin as 0 after calling Python margin api. ALso what does enabled key mean(which is false) - I have cash margin in my account. Below is a print of the margin dictionary :

{'enabled': False, 'net': 0, 'available': {'adhoc_margin': 0, 'cash': 0, 'opening_balance': 0, 'live_balance': 0, 'collateral': 0, 'intraday_payin': 0}, 'utilised': {'debits': 0, 'exposure': 0, 'm2m_realised': 0, 'm2m_unrealised': 0, 'option_premium': 0, 'payout': 0, 'span': 0, 'holding_sales': 0, 'turnover': 0, 'liquid_collateral': 0, 'stock_collateral': 0, 'delivery': 0}}

-- ----- call ----

print(kite.margins(kite))

Is your trading segment enabled?
Can have look at this article.

Yes - I can trade in EQ, FNO and Currency segments ...

Any Update on this ? What am I missing here? I want to get available cash margin - How to achieve that ? Am I calling the wrong API?

Is this for the equity segment or commodity segment?

I am not passing any segment1 - as my expectation is to get margin for both segments - API reference says -
def margins( self, segment=None)
Get account balance and cash margin details for a particular segment.

segment is the trading segment (eg: equity or commodity)

hence - I am using -

print(kite.margins(kite))

If you are not passing segment then it is fetching margins for both the segments. You need to iterate to the respective segment and then check the data.
