PnL
Following columns are related to Profit & Loss.
- PnL: PnL provided by your broker
- MtM: MtM provided by your broker
- Real PL: Realized PnL provided by your broker
- Unreal PL: Un-realized PnL provided by your broker
- AT PnL: This is a PnL calculated by our system. It is primarily done for as there are below issues with the PnL we receive from some brokers:
- Some brokers provide delayed pnl
- Some brokers do not provide pnl in the position data
- This column is still in BETA release & may have some issues (especially for overnight positions, please report to us if you find any discrepancy).
Position Category
Positions data is returned in two separate sets from your stock broker.
- DAY – a snapshot of the buying and selling activity for that particular day. This is useful for computing intraday profits and losses for trading strategies.
- NET – the actual (current net position portfolio) or (day + overnight)
By default, the system shows NET positions but you can always filter it as per your needs.
Position State
This drop-down is useful to filter OPEN or CLOSED positions. The state is determined only by looking at the net quantity. For BO & CO positions, please check for open child orders (target & stoploss orders).
Reset
This button clears all filters (including search text) & shows you all DAY positions by default.

Note: Only fields highlighted below are enabled for editing. This is because modifying other fields is not valid during square-off. For example, if you are squaring off a WIPRO position; then you would not want to change the symbol by mistake. Hence many fields which should not be modified are disabled.
