Hello,
I need an official confirmation from the Risk Management team regarding how margin is blocked when placing multi-leg option strategies via the Breeze API.
Below are my specific questions. Kindly answer each point individually:
- If I SELL a NIFTY option first via API, does the system block the full naked selling margin at that moment?
- If the hedge leg is placed immediately after, will the margin be reduced only after the hedge order is executed and visible in the position book?
- Does Breeze API provide any atomic-basket-like margin benefit during order placement?
- Is it correct that only the web-based Basket Order provides upfront margin benefit because all legs are sent in a single atomic transaction?
- If I send all legs within milliseconds via API, will the system still treat them as separate, sequential orders?
This clarification is important because the margin requirement changes significantly based on how these orders are treated.

Thanks in advance.
