I am beginner in intraday trading of NSE equity shares in Zerodha. Sometimes I have failed to calculate the average when I trade the same shares multiple times during the same day. For example:

During morning hours:

If I bought 1,000 number of HDFC shares at 500/- and it rose to 515/- in 5 minutes and I sold, my profit would be (1000*5=5000).

During afternoon hours:

If again I bought 2,000 HDFC shares at 490/- and it rose to 494/- in 10 minutes and I sold, my profit should be (2000*4=8000).

So the total profit for the day is 4K+ 8K= 12K but my calculation is wrong. I do not see 12K. I see something less than that. What is the correct calculation?

If possible explain for below scenarios as well Scenario-1

1. Morning: Sale-buy
2. Afternoon: Buy-sale

Scenario-2

1. Morning:Buy-sale
2. Afternoon: sale-buy

During morning hours:

If I bought 1,000 number of HDFC shares at 500/- and it rose to 505/- in 5 minutes and I sold, my profit would be (1000*5=5000).

During afternoon hours:

If again I bought 2,000 HDFC shares at 490/- and it rose to 494/- in 10 minutes and I sold, my profit should be (2000*4=8000).

So the total profit for the day is 5K+ 8K= 13K but my calculation is wrong. I do not see 13K. I see something less than that. What is the correct calculation?

I am beginner in intraday of NSE equity shares in zerodha. I failed to calculate average some time when i play multiple times on same share in a day.

during morning hours: For example if i bought 1000 number of HDFC shares at 500/- and it gave a spike of 515/- in a 5 minutes, i sold. so my profit would be (1000*5=5000).

during afternoon hours: If again i brought same 2000 number of HDFC shares at 490/- and its gave spike of 494/- in 10 minutes , i sold. i expected my profit should be (2000*4=8000).

so total profit of the day is 4K+ 8K= 12K. but some of my calculation is wrong. i am not seeing 12K, some thing less than that. what is exact calculation?
