When we first launched the Margin Trading Facility (MTF) Calculator, our goal was simple: Transparency. We wanted to give you a clear picture of your potential profits, losses, and holding costs before you entered a trade.
It became an essential tool for thousands of traders. But as we watched how you used it, we realized something crucial. Most traders don’t just look at one stock in isolation; they build portfolios. They look for opportunities across sectors. And in fast-moving markets, switching back and forth between a calculator and an order window costs valuable time.
That is why we are thrilled to announce a major update to our flagship tool. The MTF Calculator has been revamped—transforming from a simple analysis tool into a powerful, integrated trading workspace.
What Has Changed?
We have expanded the capabilities of the calculator to support Multi-Scrip Analysis and Direct Execution.
1. Analyze Up to 5 Stocks Simultaneously
The days of calculating margin requirements one stock at a time are over. With the new update, you can add up to 5 different scrips into the calculator at once.
This feature is perfect for traders who are building a basket or diversifying their positions.
- Consolidated Charges: Get a unified view of the interest and brokerage charges for your entire batch of stocks.
- Total Margin View: Instantly see the total capital required to fund all 5 positions.
- Comparative Analysis: Compare interest costs across different stocks side-by-side to decide which positions offer the best value.
2. Direct “Basket” Execution
This is the biggest leap forward in our product’s evolution. Previously, the calculator was for planning, and the watchlist was for trading. We have bridged that gap.
Once you have calculated your margin and interest for your selected stocks, you can now place orders for all of them directly from the calculator.
- Seamless Workflow: No need to memorize quantities or switch tabs to your watchlist.
- Speed: Execute up to 5 orders in rapid succession without leaving the screen.
- Accuracy: Since the order placement is linked to your calculation, you ensure you are buying exactly what you analyzed.
How This Transforms Your Workflow
Here is a comparison of the Old Way vs. the New Way:
| ❌ The Old Way | ✅ The New Way (Revamped) |
|---|---|
| Calculate margin for Stock A. | Add Stock A, B, C, D, and E to the calculator. |
| Memorize the quantity. | Review combined margin and interest for all. |
| Go to Watchlist -> Search Stock A. | Click “Place Order” directly. |
| Place Buy Order. | Done. |
| Repeat process for Stocks B, C, D… | Not Required! |
How to Use the New Features
- Open the MTF Calculator: Locate the updated tool in your trading dashboard.
- Build Your Basket: Search and select up to 5 stocks you wish to analyze.
- Input Your Plan: Enter the quantity/investment amount and your expected holding period.
- Review the Numbers: Check the “Total Margin Required” and projected “Interest Charges” for the whole batch.
- Trade: Click the order placement button to execute trades for the selected scrips instantly.
If you already have stocks in your portfolio under the Margin Trading Facility (MTF), you can use this calculator to do a quick health check. By re-evaluating your interest costs against current market prices, you can get a clearer picture of your actual net returns. Use these insights to decide whether to hold, square off, or convert your positions, ensuring your strategy stays profitable.
Experience the Upgrade
The revamped MTF Calculator is more than just a utility; it is a strategy enabler. By removing the friction between analysis and execution, we are empowering you to trade with the speed and confidence of a professional.
