For stock-holding steel traders

Quote on the real margin, not a gut feel.

Every lot in your yard carries its own cost — purchase, freight, financing, handling. SteelOS Trade knows that stack to the rupee, so the number you quote is a decision, not a guess.

COMPUTED PER LOT, PER DEAL, BEFORE YOU COMMIT — figures illustrative

The problem with a round number

Most traders learn their real margin months later.

The deal moves faster than the arithmetic.

A customer calls, the rate moves, you commit. The freight bill lands next week, the financing cost never gets counted at all, and the “profitable” sauda quietly wasn't.

Trade prices every quote off the live cost stack — the actual lots you'd allocate, their age, their freight, your money cost — and warns you before a thin deal goes out, with a soft floor and a hard stop you configure.

When the deal closes, the ledger entries post themselves. Estimated vs actual stops being a mystery.
