The Real-World Story: The Double-Edged Sword of Intraday Leverage

Intraday trading relies heavily on broker-provided margin, allowing you to control large positions with a fraction of the actual capital. However, treating Equity Cash and Commodity Futures the same way is a fast track to margin calls and blown accounts.

Equity Intraday (MIS): Most brokers offer up to 5x leverage for highly liquid stocks. This means you only need a 20% margin. If you have ₹50,000, you can take a position worth ₹2,50,000. Your profits and losses are magnified by 5.

The Commodity Lot Size Trap

Unlike equities where you can buy 1 share, Commodity Futures (like Gold, Silver, or Crude Oil) are traded in strict Lots. A single lot of Gold might represent 1 KG (1000 grams). The margin required is a combination of SPAN (volatility risk) and Exposure margins, frequently fluctuating around 10% to 15%. If the margin required for 1 lot exceeds your available capital, you cannot enter the trade at all. This calculator explicitly blocks fractional lots for commodities to give you a true representation of your purchasing power.

⚠️ Why This is for "Reference Only"

Slippage & Brokerage: This engine calculates absolute mathematical Risk and Reward based on your price inputs. It does not account for execution slippage (the difference between expected price and filled price) or brokerage fees, STT, and exchange transaction charges, which will slightly reduce your net P&L.
