(1) Pay Zero Brokerage In F&O Trades Squared Off By Stock Exchange
It is one of the most unknown method or tricks to trade stocks at reduced trading fees. Derivatives are financial contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset. These underlying assets could be stocks, currencies, commodities, currencies, & even rate of interest.
Stock traders often make positions in equity or index derivatives to make quick profits. It is perhaps the best way to leverage large position with little amount of capital (margin amount).
Stock trader often prefer to trade future & options of either securities or index to make money. But, these derivative contracts need to be squared off on or before the date of expiry of the selected contract.
However, if you fail to do so then stock exchange will perform the task of closing your open position. If it is the case then you don’t have to pay any brokerage to the stock broker for squaring off positions. It is due to the fact that such an order will be stock exchange generated order.
Therefore, stock broker don’t have any rights to charge any brokerage on second leg of order (square off). You just need to leave your derivative position opened even on the last day of the expiry of contract.
Once the market gets closed for normal trading then stock exchange will execute (or square off) your positions at the base price of underlying asset. This will be a great way to slash brokerage to zero on second leg of trade.
However, the brokerage charged on making position in derivatives will still be valid & will not be refunded to you.
