Margin required for an instrument

milli

Hi,

I am trying to find the margin (amount required) to place an order. How can I find this amount before placing the order?

I am able to find the currently available cash in the account using
kite.margins()['equity']['available']['live_balance']

However, I am not able to find the amount that I will require for placing an MIS / NRML order for currency futures.

More details about this : https://support.zerodha.com/category/trading-and-markets/kite-web-and-mobile/articles/margins-on-kite-order-window

Please help.

Thanks

Currently, order margin calculation APIs is not integrated with the Python client. We are working on this. Will announce here once added.
