@nithin wonderful to see the active commitment whenever issues come
Is there a technical reason for limiting to 360 days? Longer the better right? atleast 2 years option?
@nithin great initiative
A query
If some one is dis satisfied with the person who referred him is there an option to stop his referral income from customer side . As I believe the person will continue to earn even though he mis sold .
Each verified P&L link is a compute request. Longer time frames as you can imagine can take a lot more resources. That said, we are extending this to two years. But longer will be tougher.

This is not good according to me. People can now only share one year data. We instead needed a feature to share different periods and more than one link but it got even worse. Like one trader was trying to post FY wise pnl from 2020 but each link was referring to the last one he generated. Earlier at least he could post 2020 FY data if he didn’t modify the link but now even that’s not possible. And even if you add 2 years worth of data, it will still all be combined together with the latest data.
So please consider allowing custom ranges. Instead of forcing us to always include latest data, you can impose minimum custom range if someone shows past data. For example, user can’t include less than 3/6 months(or whatever you see fit) data if he wants to select a custom period. That way they will be able to share past FY/calendar year pnl without combing it with latest data.
Please reconsider this.
Edit – You mentioned about server load. I’m not an engineer/developer so I might be totally wrong here. But are you guys calculating everything everytime someone clicks that link? If someone has selected static date range in the past(not updating daily) then you just need to calculate once and then show the same data/image everytime someone clicks it. Afterall it’s past data and it can’t possibly change. Wouldn’t that reduce server load.
We will extend the current one to 2 years. A two-year track record is enough data to show someone else. I don’t think there is any reason for someone to selectively pick and choose time periods. That can be gamed as we have seen in the recent past.

Nice Move @nithin with recent update on Verified PNL within minimum data of 30 Days!
also Live pnl (updates everyday)
360 days is max … but Please do bring “Lifetime” Data option also … i am loving it!
also is it possible to showcase … Pnl worm ?
Revised to 2 recent years.
As explained above by him, at scale it creates alot of additional load but again mentioned in earlier posts, they are working on an Equity curve that have many more metrics.
Just knowing PnL without capital deployed is also not very useful as it is currently.
I personally am of the same opinion that if someone wants to post public PnL, it should be a bare it all single PnL since inception light weight as in probably not the trades listed but full performance instead of something that is a recent period.
Probably have to compute one-time for previous FYs and cache/store it.

This is very much required. Absolute values make no sense.
From what I have understood about equity curve, this problem will be solved. But then we do not know when will it come.

Zerodha team – I think its good to just move on. A person good in manipulating will do so – whatever restrictions you bring in.
I still feel sad for those who look at those screenshots and build their dream castle.
Making money via trading is the toughest job on earth, still people believe its a cake-walk and fall for shortcuts. Next time some one gives you a tip – ask for the rationale (logic) and learn the WHY part.
@nithin – if possible mandate the FA and TA test module on zerodha varsity for all newcomers. Double mandate it if they are on a losing streak of more than 3 months.
Hopefully before October. We will put it up on Tradingqna when it is ready for Beta. Hopefully faster.
There is no way we can mandate this. Will end up being paternalistic. The best we can do is nudge them to take these. Maybe once the equity curve is live, we can have drawdowns as triggers to take certain modules.
How do you have soooo much patience??? Amazing!
One of many other characteristics needed for an entrepreneur, I lack and that is why I may have failed…
Just awesome to see it action. Wow!
