What is Trading Insights?

Trading Insights is an in-app analytics feature designed for F&O traders. It helps you understand your trading patterns, strengths, and weaknesses so you can make more informed decisions.


With Trading Insights, you get:

  • A snapshot of your P&L trends over time
  • Key metrics like Net P&L, ROI, Win/Loss Rate, Profit Factor, Avg. P&L per trade
  • Breakdowns by underlying index, holding period, direction, and DTE (Days to Expiry)
  • Identification of risk areas like outsised losses or poor risk-to-reward ratios
  • Scenario analysis to see how alternate strikes or exit timings could have changed outcomes
