Over the next few days, I will share 1 practical idea daily that could make you a more efficient trader/investor.

Things around Collaterals, margins, funding, interest, execution tools. Just some trading tricks which could save you some pennies every time you buy and sell.

Not a skill workshop.

3rd August in my view is going to see a big change in Indian Capital Markets.

While it seems a small thing, CAS is going to change how Indian markets have determined the closing price of a stock for F&O settlement for last 20+ years.

While all stocks except for those available in F&O will continue to operate normally from 9:15 to 3:30, F&O stocks will work differently between 3:15pm and 3:30pm.
F&O segment will also trade till 3:40pm instead of 3:30pm.

Here is a blog that explains everything in detail. All customers would have already got it on mail. Worth spending 5mts reading it -

No2. Yes No 2.

@kmainiofficial came second in F2 HungarianGP. Missed playing Indian National Anthem by less than a second.

Coming second isn’t an ordinary feat either.

Well done Maini.

Now for the big F1 race at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

[Ashish Nanda @Ashish1Nanda]

Our boy @kmainiofficial came 5th at the F2 sprint race. Tomorrow he starts on pole position and we will be right there to support him.

Kush Maini, you rock.

@Nishan_699 The Haircut is defined by regulators. It is Var+3X or Var+5X depending on whether script is in F&O or not.

So it is btw 2.2X and 5X

In the last 30 minutes of trade yesterday, Torrent Pharma triggered a spike in the SLBM segment.

Clients holding the stock could have lent their shares and earned a fee - up to ₹500, averaging ₹100. That’s ~24% annualised, for shares that were just sitting idle in a demat account.

Most investors have no way of catching a window this narrow. That’s exactly why we track SLBM opportunities in real time and proactively reach out to clients who’ve activated the segment — on a best-effort basis, given how tight these windows can be.

And this isn’t a one-off. Stock lending fees paid to lenders:
FY25: ₹425 Cr
FY26: ₹700 Cr
Last 3 months alone: ~₹346 Cr

Idle shares are quietly becoming an income stream. This segment is only getting bigger.

(SLBM = Stock Lending & Borrowing Mechanism. Returns are indicative, not guaranteed.)

3rd, 18th, 37th, 45th+1, 48th, 54th, 66th, 87th, 90th+6, 90th+8

Those are the 10 goals scored in the England vs France Bronze medal match.

England won 6 goals to 4.

I saw the Highlights, then the Extended highlights. Now planning to see the full match in the evening as it happened.

Goal Riot.

@OshoXtrader It will surely be kind of you to share any real video of comparison. Will help us understand your concerns better.

But ever otherwise your comment is noted. Team will work and resolve

To every Kotak Neo customer — this one’s for you. 🙏

Q1FY27 has been a milestone quarter for us, and honestly, the numbers only tell half the story.

📈 Overall market share: 13.8%, up from 12.8% a year ago
📈 Derivative market share: 15.9%, our highest yet
📈 Cash market share 10.4%
📈 Profit After Tax: ₹533 cr, up 15% YoY

But growth in market share isn’t just a number on a slide, it’s thousands of you choosing to trade, invest, and build your future with us, every single day.

It’s the trust you placed in us when you had other options. It’s the DIY trader who now self-executes with confidence, the institutions who partner with us on landmark deals, the first-time investor who felt supported instead of overwhelmed.

Every late night spent improving our platforms, every feature we shipped, every question our support teams answered, it was all in service of one goal: making your experience better.

Seeing that reflected in the trust you’ve shown us this quarter means more than any market share figure ever could.

So thank you. Truly. Here’s to building the next chapter together. 🚀
