How to trade in commodities in Zerodha?

Commodity trading in Zerodha requires a commodity trading account and sufficient margins to place commodity orders.

You cannot open only a Commodity trading account in Zerodha. You also need to have an Equity trading and Demat account along with a Commodity account.

Once the commodity trading account gets opened, you can buy or sell required commodity futures and options contracts in Zerodha through Zerodha Kite, provided sufficient margins are in place.

Note:

• Zerodha does not offer physical delivery of commodities. Hence contracts that end in compulsory physical settlement need to be squared off before the delivery period.
• You can place only Limit and SL orders for the MCX options contract.
