Console at present shows a combined P&L report for Futures & Options. I know that Tax P&L has separate overall reporting but it is on a quarterly basis.
On day to day basis P&L reports come handy to check your trades/profit and at present it shows a combined P&L report for Futures & Options for any given period.
Also, since STT/Exchange fees etc are drastically different for the two instrument types, it is very difficult to evaluate weekly/monthly profit per instrument.
Can Console also have a filter to segregate P&L report for Futures & Options?
I am sure many more F&O traders would have felt this need. They can add their experience in this thread.
Request @nithin & the Zerodha team to please evaluate this request seriously.
I didn’t really get the use case you are explaining. We provide 3 P&L types: combined (P&L including both closed and open positions), realised (P&L of all your closed positions), and unrealised (P&L of all your open positions). If you want to check the P&L for your closed positions only, you can just generate the Realised P&L.
If you want to segregate the P&L of your transactions in futures from your transaction in options, you can just download the P&L and filter out only futures or options in excel. We’ll soon be adding the scrip wise charges as well in the P&L. You won’t have to compute the charges for it either way.
Didn’t realize I can segregate P&L for Futures & Options by downloading excel. I was looking for it in the UI itself where we see a combined report. Thanks for highlighting this.
Yes, if you can add charges also in excel, we can precisely calculate Net Realized P&L for Futures & Options separately.
Hi @market_learner started looking for a way to get the Date-wise Derivatives pnl to analyse my trades and stumbled upon this post. Seems like zerodha currently doesnt provide this data, have you figured out a way to get this data?
Saw this thread, can we also add more analytics pointers.
Essentially a report with as many analytics as possible would help traders analyze their winning styles better helping better outcomes for traders. For eg -
Time to expiry
Time duration for the position (difference b/w entry-exit)
How OTM/ITM the option is at the time of entering the position
% of winning in long and short positions
No. of trades that day by PnL
All of this aggregated by win rate, so that I can filter what’s the pattern in my winning trades and what in loosing ones. Along with notes which may add some specific context, this can help me generate enormous insights about my trading style.
I’ve built some of the these analytics reports in a virtual trading platform that I built for myself and it’s really helpful. But it isn’t as helpful as having this embeded in Kite. In the future we can create custom rules which provide nudges when we deviate from our trading plan like buying far otm options which have resulted in loss in past. So many possibilities but am happy with just reports for now. @Nakul can you discuss with the team and let us know if this can be on the roadmap sometime?
