Everything You Need to Know About Trader’s Diary

Hello Shrimohan,

Thanks for this tool and detailed explanation,

I wonder if this is possible, when I open specific date details, I can see all transactions of buy and sell orders, but if we can see the Profit and loss of each trade will be very useful, just like the positions we do see during the day, red or green positions.

Because if we want to review the diary on next day, I can not get many ideas based on transactions but based on each script which is in profit or loss, then we can review why we made profit or loss and then I enter my comments,

I hope I explained my requirements correctly,

Hi @Jigar tradewise wise P&L is not supported at this time on the frontend. We may launch this as well in the near future. However, you can connect with Customer Support Team to get Trader’s Diary with tradewise P&L which follows FIFO methodology.

I @iamshrimohan have a doubt in traders diary

Suppose there was a far otm position which expired at 0 . So only 1 trade is done, the equivalent trade is not done since it expired worthless

In this case how to see the traders diary entry with respect to the profit /loss

Hi @pavz this action will not be captured in the current build of the Trader’s Diary as it fetches only executed trades. Since the contra trade is not available, the position will remain open.

You can chose the “Notes” section of the Trader’s Diary to mark those trades and for such trades, consider the sale price as the net profit or buy price as the net loss.

@iamshrimohan Dairy needs bug fix and enhancement. Please look into these

  1. The custom date range in web shows incorrect PnL and charges.
  2. Alteast a year PnL would be appreciated. Three months is very limited. Zerodha allows multi year PnL view in one click from their backend (console) and its a great feature to have.
  3. Custom date range option addition in mobile app would be nice

Hi @t7support

  1. The P&L would be correct if you choose date range such that no open positions exists in the date range. Check this and do let me know incase you face any issues.
  2. Noted your feedback, we will surely implement this.
  3. We will check if that is feasible and if so, would get it done. Usually on the web, we have a wider horizon to play around which is not feasible always on the Mobile application front.

Thanks.

  1. Correct. I didn’t factor in the open position thing earlier.
  2. Thanks, would be very useful to us.
  3. We can easily show vertically in a top down way like zerodha console does on mobile.
