Breakdowns of the terms are defined as different scenarios

1) Available to Trade

The 'Available to trade' section is updated whenever:

You deposit funds into your Upstox account.
You request a fund withdrawal, and your withdrawal request is processed by the Upstox back-office team.
You place a trade request or order in the market.

2) Used Margin

Your 'Used Margin’ section will reflect in either of these two scenarios:

From your total 'Available to Trade' balance, when funds are used for trading, this amount will be shown in 'Used Margin’ as a positive amount. The possible scenarios when this may happen are:

You buy stock in the Equity Delivery segment.
You buy or short-sell a stock in the Equity Intraday segment.
You buy or short-sell a Derivatives (Futures & Options) contract in Intraday or Delivery.
You carry forward an open position to the next trading day for either a Futures contract or an Options contract (on the short side only).

Whenever you successfully sell a Delivery position, the amount will be receivable by you, and this will be shown as a negative amount in 'Used Margin'. The possible scenarios for this are:

You successfully sell stock in the Equity Delivery segment (from your Demat account).
You sell an open position (on the buy-side) in the Options segment.

When you add funds or withdraw funds from Upstox.
