Dear Dhan Support Team,
I am facing a P&L calculation/display issue in Trader’s Diary for my carry-forward F&O position. After reading the documentation on “Everything You Need to Know About Trader’s Diary” (link), particularly Scenario 2, I believe my situation should be calculated similarly, but the display is confusing.
My Trades:
Script: NIFTY 25 NOV 26100 CALL (Qty: 75)
Friday, 21 Nov 2025:
- SELL at ₹126.25 (Trade Value: ₹9,468.75) - Position carried forward to Monday
Monday, 24 Nov 2025:
-
BUY at ₹110.35 (Trade Value: ₹8,276.25) - Closed Friday’s carry-forward position
-
SELL at ₹72.00 (Trade Value: ₹5,400.00) - New position opened (currently OPEN)
Expected Calculation (Based on Scenario 2 in Documentation):
Monday’s Realized P&L should show:
-
Realized Profit from carry-forward = ₹126.25 - ₹110.35 = ₹15.90 × 75 = ₹1,192.50
-
Less: Charges and Brokerage for Monday
-
Net Realized P&L = Positive (profit)
Actual Display in Trader’s Diary (24 Nov):
-
Overall P&L: -₹2,876.25
-
Net P&L: -₹2,934.20
The Problem:
The Trader’s Diary for 24 Nov appears to be:
-
Not properly calculating my realized profit from closing Friday’s carry-forward position (₹1,192.50)
-
Possibly incorrectly treating Monday’s trades as standalone trades rather than linking the Friday carry-forward
According to your documentation (Scenario 2), when a position is carried forward:
-
Day 1 shows only buy/sell value with charges
-
Day 2 should calculate the carry-forward P&L internally and show realized profit/loss
Request:
Please review my trades and clarify:
-
Where is my ₹1,192.50 realized profit from Friday→Monday reflected?
-
Why does Monday show an overall loss when I closed a profitable carry-forward position?
-
Is there a separate report that shows carry-forward position P&L correctly?
I have attached screenshots showing the Trade Summary and Transaction details for your reference.
