# Basket Orders

A basket order enables you to place multiple orders in futures and options contracts together. The margin requirement for a basket order is computed by treating the entire group of orders as a single entity. Due to this, a basket containing a set of offsetting orders may require lower margin than placing the same orders individually.

### Key points to note about basket orders

* Basket orders are supported for portfolio margin. 
* A basket can comprise of only futures and options on the same underlying. It is not possible to create a basket which has contracts with different underlying.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.delta.exchange/delta-exchange-india-user-guide/trading-guide/order-types/basket-orders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
