How Does the Intraday Profit and Loss Calculator Work?
Intraday trading involves buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading session before market close (typically 3:15 PM to 3:20 PM IST in Indian markets). Calculating exact profit requires factoring in buy price, sell price, total traded volume, and brokerage commissions.
1. Standard Intraday Formulas
- Buy Turnover: Buy Price × Quantity
- Sell Turnover: Sell Price × Quantity
- Gross P&L: Sell Value - Buy Value
- Net Realized P&L: Gross P&L - Brokerage & Taxes
- Return on Investment (ROI): (Net P&L / Buy Value) × 100
2. Margin Leverage & Purchasing Power
- Purchasing Power: Available Capital × Leverage Multiplier (up to 5x)
- Max Quantities: Math.floor(Purchasing Power / Buy Price)
- SEBI Peak Margin Rule: Requires 20% minimum upfront margin for intraday equity trades in India.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is 5x intraday leverage in Zerodha, Groww, or Angel One?
Under SEBI's peak margin framework, stockbrokers can provide up to 5 times leverage on approved intraday (MIS) stocks. If you have ₹20,000 in your account, a 5x leverage multiplier gives you ₹1,00,000 of purchasing power for that session.
What happens if I don't square off intraday trades before 3:20 PM?
If positions are not squared off manually, most Indian brokers automatically square them off around 3:15 PM – 3:25 PM IST and levy an auto-square-off penalty fee (typically ₹50 + 18% GST per order).
