Create your account
Sign up at fnodiary.in with your phone number. No OTP, no email verification. Instant access.
Log in to Dhan
In FnoDiary's broker settings, click Connect Dhan. You'll be taken to Dhan's own login page — enter your Dhan credentials there and authorise FnoDiary.
Sync and review
You're redirected back to FnoDiary automatically. Hit Sync — all your F&O trades appear in seconds with full metadata and live charts.
What FnoDiary imports from Dhan
Your full F&O trade history — every instrument, every session, automatically.
Trade metadata
Symbol, CE/PE type, strike price, expiry, entry & exit price, lot size, P&L, and exact entry/exit timestamps to the minute.
F&O instruments
Nifty 50 options, BankNifty options, Finnifty, Midcap Nifty, and stock F&O on NSE and BSE — all auto-imported.
Exact timestamps
Entry and exit time to the minute — used to plot your trades on live 1m, 5m, and 15m candlestick charts.
P&L breakdown
Realised P&L per trade and per session, including brokerage and STT, for accurate net figures.
What you get after syncing
A complete system to review, reflect, and improve — not just a trade log.
Live dual charts
Every trade shows two synced charts side by side — the option price chart and the Nifty/BankNifty index chart. Same timeframe, synced crosshair. Your entry and exit plotted on real candles. 1m, 5m, 15m timeframes.
Discipline score
Each session is scored out of 100. FnoDiary automatically flags revenge trading (re-entering after a loss), overtrading (above your session baseline), and quantity doubling after losses — the three biggest account-killers.
Psychology journal
Write your mindset, mood, and lesson after each session. The entry links directly to that session's trade charts — so future-you can see the emotional context behind every decision, not just the numbers.
Trade calendar
Monthly P&L heatmap showing your best and worst days at a glance. Click any date to open that session's trades and review with live charts.
Analytics dashboard
Win rate, average loss, best trading hours, worst days, streak analysis. Surfaces the patterns invisible session-by-session but undeniable across 30+ sessions.
Chart sharing
Generate a public link for any trade chart. Share your entry/exit with a mentor, telegram group, or trading buddy. Use drawing tools to annotate the chart before sharing.
Why Dhan traders need more than P&L
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 quantity to "recover" a drawdown.
These patterns are invisible if you only look at P&L. They become undeniable when you have 60 sessions logged in a journal — and you can see exactly which day you always overtrade, which setup always fails, and what your emotional state was during your biggest losses.
FnoDiary removes every barrier between "trade closed" and "trade reviewed." The insight that changes your behaviour is only available in the 15 minutes after you close a position — not the next morning, and certainly not after you've exported a CSV.

Dhan trading journal — common questions
Does FnoDiary support Dhan auto-sync?
Yes. FnoDiary connects directly to Dhan's live API. Click Connect Dhan in broker settings, log in on Dhan's own login page, and you're done — all your F&O trades sync automatically. No CSV exports, no manual entry, no reformatting. Ever.
Is FnoDiary free for Dhan users?
Yes — free forever if you sign up through a referral link. Every FnoDiary user gets their own referral link to share. Without a referral, the Standard plan is ₹199/month with full access to all features.
What F&O data does FnoDiary import from Dhan?
FnoDiary imports your complete trade history: symbol, CE/PE type, strike price, expiry, entry & exit price, lot quantity, timestamps, and P&L. This covers Nifty 50 options, BankNifty options, Finnifty, Midcap Nifty, and stock F&O on NSE and BSE.
Can I see live charts for my Dhan trades in FnoDiary?
Yes. Every trade opens a dual chart view — the option price chart and the Nifty or BankNifty index chart side by side, with a synced crosshair. Your exact entry and exit are plotted directly on the candles (1m, 5m, or 15m) so you can see the full market context of every decision.
Is my Dhan login safe with FnoDiary?
Yes. You log in directly on Dhan's own login page — your Dhan username and password never touch FnoDiary's servers. FnoDiary only receives a read-only access token from Dhan after you authorise the connection. This token is stored encrypted on AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) and is never used to place, modify, or cancel orders.
How does FnoDiary compare to TradesViz for Dhan traders?
TradesViz supports Dhan via CSV import only — you must manually export a file and upload it each time. FnoDiary uses Dhan's live API: one click and trades appear automatically.
FnoDiary also offers things TradesViz doesn't: live option and index charts per trade, a per-session discipline score (flags revenge trading, overtrading), and chart-linked psychology entries. FnoDiary starts at ₹0 (with referral) vs TradesViz at ₹1,999–₹5,999/year.
What is a discipline score and how does FnoDiary calculate it?
A discipline score measures how well you followed your trading rules in a session — independently of whether you made or lost money. FnoDiary scores each session out of 100 and automatically detects three key patterns:
- Revenge trading: re-entering after a loss with equal or larger position size
- Overtrading: taking significantly more trades than your session baseline
- Quantity doubling: increasing lot size after a losing trade
A score above 80 means strong process discipline. Below 60 signals patterns that destroy accounts over time — even when P&L looks fine short-term.
Can I use FnoDiary for Zerodha, Upstox, or other brokers?
FnoDiary supports Dhan and Upstox with live API sync, and Zerodha, Angel One, and Fyers via CSV import. See all brokers at fnodiary.in/brokers.
