    Hi,
    I use ICICI direct for trading and investing. Is there any way I can set stoploss for my future trades? Or I have to use mental stoploss only? I don't find anything for future trades but this mechanism is there for margin trades. Plz guide.
    Thanks in advance,
    Basant

    ICICIDirect for trades is a killer. Whats your brokerage? Margin is always an avoid as far as my suggestion goes.

    0.3% is quite high. Apply taxes and double it up for buy and sell and it is close to 1%. Consider Zerodha - https://shabbir.in/zerodha-review/

    I don't trade in futures and so will not be able to comment on it particular but every broker should have it. Still better to ask them over a phone of whatever features you are looking for.
