Thanks for the response mate. Zerodha's condition that 50% of the position size should be maintained as cash in the demat account and the remaining 50% in liquid funds (after haircut) is not that pleasing. I'm looking to keep 80% of the funds in liquid funds and remining 20% in demat for handling MTM swings and buying options for hedge, which Zerodha does not permit. Do you have information on any broker which permits the same?

Yes mate. I'm looking forward to the same too. But saw a SEBI circular that the new margins are applicable from August 1 only, not sure if it was genuine. And yeah, I never carry unhedged positions overnight. I'm so scared of Black Swan events that I even hedge my monthly delta neutral strangles with weekly options

Any other recommendations guys?
Suven Life Sciences fundamentals doesn't seem good to me.Am I missing something? What are the positives based on which it can be bought?

I have invested small sums in Dabur, Berger Paints, Trent, Tata Global Beverages, Bata, HDFC Bank & HUL.

um, you got that wrong. Liquid funds are considered as cash equivalent. Check the "Note".
https://support.zerodha.com/category...to-get-margins

I keep 90% in liquid funds and 10% in cash for derivatives trades.

Nopes, from Jun 1st. I'm carrying June positions, and I can see that margins have been cut 66% for me already when I login to my account.

Hedging short monthly delta neutral positions with NEXT MONTH Nifty options works best from RoI point of view, because you don't have to keep buying hedges every week. Use limit orders when entering July Nifty options, because liquidity is not great.

Oh that's a neat technique. Currently I hold my strangles from 45DTE to 15DTE and the hedge per leg costs Rs.2 (or even less) per week. So total hedging cost comes to Rs.2 x 2 (legs) x 4 (weeks) = Rs.16 + Brokerage + Taxes. So if I choose the far month option of similar strike as hedge, I'll have to see if the theta decay of the far month options exceeds my current hedging cost. But sure, the headache of buying hedges in totally eliminated.

And another gripe I've faced with Zerodha is that they never let me go far OTM to make trades. RMS issue of being the largest broker in the country

Thanks again for the great pointers mate

Re: Do you play the stock market

How serious can be the impact of the rating downgrade by Moody's?

The markets have been on a continuous uptrend for the past few weeks despite Corona, partial lockdown, falling customer demand etc. Will Moody's be just another hurdle or the party is likely to get over soon?

Unlikely to have any impact. Moody was the only rating agency that upgraded India last year, while Fitch & S&P500 did nothing. Now Moody has just reverted back to its old rating that is equivalent to the ones assigned by other rating agencies - a notch above "Junk" status (meaning high risk)

Do I need to courier them five page Power of Attorney? Did you also send it? I opened just equity trading account, no F&O, commodities, currency trading or mutual funds.

I was told that without the POA, I wouldn't be able to sell shares on my Demat a/c. However, I checked a few months back, and even without the POA, I could sell them.
Now, even without the POA, one would be able to sell the shares on the Demat a/c using a pin from CDSL. I have recently received it on my email registered with Zerodha. There is a restriction, however, as you could only sell shares worth 1 Crore a day.

Thanks. I also got a 6 digit TPIN from edis@cdslindia.co.in. So, no hurry to send them POA. I will try a couple of buy/sell orders just to be double sure.

I don't see myself doing trades of more than 1 Crore a month in next few years.

I currently use HDFC Securities, and considering switching to Zerodha for F&O segment. I had created Zerodha account last year but never used it and did not send them POA documents either. I just checked now and I was able to login so my account is still active.

Do I need to complete POA formalities for just trading in F&O segment?

Re: Do you play the stock market

Alok Industries which was acquired by Reliance industries is gaining 5% daily for nearly past 12-15 days. Doubled in less than a month. I bought it nearly 10 years ago for 21 Rs. It went down to 3-4 Rs. One month ago it was trading for 6 Rs., Today trading at 23 Rs.

Finally, I have reached breakeven position after 10 years.

I just completed the process of opening the 3 in 1 IDFC Zerodha account. POA is needed for 1 click money transfer to Zerodha to buy shares. Else you can use netbanking/UPI transfer. Netebanking has additional charges. I found 1 click useful.

Can you let us know which God you pray to? What Puja needs to be performed to achieve such an outcome?

Actually, we are having lots of similar stories:

Yes Bank
Vodafone Idea
Ruchi Soya

This goes against the conventional wisdom that you have to cut losses if you see a large stock crash.

I think you understood it wrong.

Quote:
when you sell shares, we debit it from your demat account and give it to the exchange. To debit shares from your demat account when you sell on the exchange, brokerage firms have until now taken a POA (power of attorney) over the demat account.
One-click money transfer to Zerodha has nothing to do with POA. You must have digitally signed an online authorisation form for that.
