When a trader places an order, they need to maintain a certain amount of funds in their account, known as the "upfront margin." This requirement is outlined in SEBI circular SEBI/HO/MRD2/DCAP/CIR/P/2020/127 dated July 20, 2020.


The highest value of the upfront margin that is utilised during a trading session is called the "peak margin."
