Transparent. Auditable. Educational.
This portfolio exists to demonstrate transparency in financial research. It documents real, executed investment decisions — not hypothetical or back-tested scenarios — along with the reasoning behind each one and the outcome that followed.
Readers are encouraged to evaluate our process, not to imitate this portfolio. Every decision shown here reflects an individual case study, not a recommendation for any other investor's circumstances.
This page is provided for educational reference. The Google Sheet linked below remains the official, continuously updated source of truth — this page is a periodic summary of that record.
Securities Transaction Tax — a government tax on every buy. For delivery trades: 0.1% of trade value. This cannot be avoided.
Our broker charges ₹0 on delivery trades but ₹20 per order on intraday trades. Amounts under ₹1 reflect minimum fee thresholds.
A fee charged by NSE/BSE for using their trading platform. Very small — typically 0.003% of trade value.
18% GST is applied only on brokerage and exchange charges — not on the trade value itself.
A state government charge applied on buy trades. 0.015% of trade value, capped at ₹1,500.
A small regulatory fee charged by SEBI — typically ₹10 per crore of turnover.
A one-time ₹59 charge, applied when an intraday position is automatically closed by the broker at day's end.
Claims are easy to make. A public, dated record is harder to dispute — and easier to learn from.
When results are visible to everyone, including the mistakes, there's nowhere for selective reporting to hide.
We would rather show you what actually happened than tell you what we believe will happen.
Knowing every decision will be public is, by itself, a strong incentive to think more carefully before making it.
