What Counts as a Completed Trade?

Understanding Completed Trades

This is crucial for billing—you're only charged for completed trades.

Definition

One Completed Trade = Entry + Exit

When you open a position (buy or sell) AND subsequently close that position, that counts as one completed trade.

Examples

✅ Counts as 1 Trade

• Buy 1 lot NIFTY CE, Sell 1 lot NIFTY CE = 1 trade
• Sell 50 shares RELIANCE, Buy 50 shares RELIANCE = 1 trade

❌ Does NOT Count

• Opening a position without closing it
• Placing an order that gets cancelled
• Pending/unfilled orders
• Holding an open position overnight

Partial Closures

If you close a position in parts:

• Buy 100 shares
• Sell 50 shares (partial close) = 1 trade
• Sell remaining 50 shares = 1 trade
• Total: 2 trades

Multi-Leg Options

Each leg that has both entry and exit counts as a separate trade:

• Iron Condor (4 legs) = 4 completed trades
• Straddle (2 legs) = 2 completed trades

Why This Matters

Our pay-per-trade model means you only pay when you actually complete trades. No charges for paper trading, cancelled orders, or open positions.
