Why Zerodha traders need more than P&L
India's #1 broker with 1.3 crore+ active traders. SEBI's 2023 study found 91% of F&O traders lose money — the average retail trader loses ₹1.1 lakh per year. The cause isn't a bad strategy. It's repeating the same emotional mistakes: revenge trading after a loss, overtrading on high-volatility days, doubling lot size to "recover" a drawdown.
Zerodha's Kite is the most-used trading platform in India. Yet Zerodha's own Console backoffice only shows P&L summaries — no per-trade chart review, no pattern detection, no psychology tracking.
These patterns are invisible in a P&L table. They become undeniable when you have 60 sessions in a journal — and you can see exactly which days you overtrade, which setups always fail, and what your emotional state was during your biggest losses.
