Entry + Exit = 1 Completed Trade

How Trades Are Counted

Understanding trade counting is essential for billing accuracy.

The Rule

One Completed Trade = One Entry + One Exit

You're only charged when a position is fully or partially closed.

Examples

Single Trade

• 9:30 AM: Buy 1 lot Bank Nifty 45000 CE at ₹200
• 10:15 AM: Sell 1 lot Bank Nifty 45000 CE at ₹250
• Result: 1 completed trade ✅

Multiple Trades (Same Day)

• Trade 1: Buy & Sell Nifty CE
• Trade 2: Buy & Sell Nifty PE
• Trade 3: Sell & Buy RELIANCE
• Result: 3 completed trades ✅

Position Held Overnight

• 3:15 PM: Buy 1 lot Nifty futures
• (Hold overnight)
• Result: 0 completed trades (position still open)
• Next day: Sell 1 lot Nifty futures
• Result: 1 completed trade ✅

What Doesn't Count

• Opening a position (waiting for exit)
• Cancelled orders
• Rejected orders
• Orders that didn't execute
• Pending/open limit orders

Billing Impact

• Daily settlement counts only completed trades
• Open positions have no daily charge
• You're charged only for value delivered (analysis)
