Hi Zerodha

I had a product suggestion. Please pass it on to your development team after internal discussion if the same can be implemented.

If i buy a call option for suppose INR 10 and sell it for INR 20 ( lot size - 100) the profit shows as INR 1000.

If on the same day, i buy back again for INR 12 , the same strike price, the profit loss continues from there and i have to keep a manual record of my profit loss. Is it possible to put a filer to show it as a new trade.

I will give you a real example which happened with me.

I bought a call option for INR 353 and it went down. Lets consider lot size as 1. I bought the second lot for INR 284 and sold this second lot only for INR 294. The price for this option closed at INR 304

In my profit loss for the day, it showed that i lost (353-284=INR 69) and showed the kept lot as purchased at 284 and MTM profit of INR 20.

I had to keep manual record that my loss of previous day is showing in zerodha as -69 and this +20 is actually a loss and not profit

Can it be done that zerodha shows a profit of INR 20 and loss of -69 in the kept position ?

Please move it from General to Zerodha category.

Yeah for same day thing we will do something, it is already in our list of things to do.

If the position is carried we have to follow FIFO ( first in first out) only, nothing can be done around it.

Ok. But can it be done that if a new position is opened intraday, it can start the counter from 0 M2M or atleast a filter showing the same? Like how exoted and kept positions can be seen seperately in M2M?
