Review your analytics
Your trades appear instantly with full metadata. Your discipline score, trade calendar, and analytics dashboard populate automatically.
What FnoDiary reads from your Zerodha tradebook
All the fields you need to analyse your F&O performance — automatically parsed from the standard Zerodha CSV format.
Trade metadata
Symbol, CE/PE type, strike price, expiry date, entry & exit price, lot size, buy/sell direction, timestamps, and realised P&L per trade.
All F&O instruments
Nifty 50 options, BankNifty options, Finnifty, Midcap Nifty, weekly and monthly contracts, and stock options — all parsed from the standard Zerodha format.
Timestamps
Entry and exit times to the minute — used to group trades into sessions and calculate per-session discipline scores and P&L.
P&L per session
Net P&L per trade and per session, aggregated into monthly and weekly views in your trade calendar and analytics dashboard.
What you get after importing
A complete journaling and analytics system for Zerodha F&O traders — far beyond what Excel can show.
Discipline score
Each session is scored out of 100. FnoDiary detects revenge trading, overtrading, and quantity doubling after losses — the patterns that silently destroy F&O accounts even when strategy is sound.
Psychology journal
Write your mindset, mood, and lesson after each session. Entries are linked to that day's trades so future-you can revisit the emotional context of every decision.
Trade calendar
Monthly P&L heatmap. See your best and worst Nifty expiry days, FOMC reaction sessions, and budget day performance at a glance.
Analytics dashboard
Win rate, average loss size, best trading hours, worst days, streak analysis. Patterns that are invisible when you only look at P&L become clear across 30+ sessions.
Session grouping
Trades are automatically grouped into sessions by date so you can review a full trading day as a unit — not as isolated individual trades.
Chart sharing
Generate a public link for any trade or session. Share your analysis with a mentor or trading group for feedback.
Why Zerodha traders switch from Excel to FnoDiary
Most Zerodha F&O traders start with Excel — paste the tradebook, add some formulas, calculate win rate. It works for a while. Then it fails, consistently, for three reasons:
Friction kills consistency
A manual Excel process takes 20–40 minutes per session. Studies on habit formation show that reducing even small friction doubles follow-through rates. Most traders quit Excel journaling within 3 weeks.
No discipline metrics
Excel calculates P&L. It cannot detect that you re-entered immediately after a loss 14 out of your last 20 sessions. Discipline patterns are invisible in a spreadsheet.
No psychology layer
The emotional memory of a bad trade — the FOMO, the panic exit, the revenge re-entry — fades within hours. Without a structured psychology entry written immediately after the session, you lose the real lesson.
No session-level view
Excel shows individual trades. FnoDiary groups them into sessions and scores each session as a whole — giving you the unit of analysis that actually matters for behavioural improvement.

How do I import Zerodha trades into FnoDiary?

Yes — free forever if you sign up through a referral link. Every FnoDiary user gets their own referral link. Without a referral, the Standard plan is ₹199/month with full access to all features.
What format is the Zerodha tradebook CSV?
Zerodha's tradebook CSV is downloaded from console.zerodha.com → Reports → Tradebook. It includes trade date, time, symbol, exchange, trade type, quantity, price, and order ID. FnoDiary automatically parses this standard Zerodha format — no reformatting needed.
What F&O data does FnoDiary read from the Zerodha tradebook?
FnoDiary imports all your F&O trades from the Zerodha tradebook: symbol, CE/PE type, strike price, expiry, entry & exit price, lot size, timestamps, and P&L. This covers Nifty 50 options, BankNifty options, Finnifty, Midcap Nifty, and stock options.
How often do I need to upload my Zerodha tradebook?
You can upload as often as you like — daily, weekly, or monthly. FnoDiary automatically deduplicates trades, so you can safely re-upload overlapping date ranges without getting duplicate entries. Most traders find weekly imports a good balance.
How does FnoDiary compare to TradesViz for Zerodha traders?
Both support Zerodha via CSV import from Console. FnoDiary differentiates with per-session discipline scoring (automatically detecting revenge trading, overtrading, quantity doubling), chart-linked psychology journaling, and session-level grouping and analytics.
FnoDiary starts at ₹0 (with referral) vs TradesViz at ₹1,999–₹5,999/year.
Can I use FnoDiary for Zerodha equity and intraday trades too?
Yes. FnoDiary imports all trade types from the Zerodha tradebook — equity delivery, intraday (MIS/BO/CO), and F&O. Analytics and discipline scoring work across all trade types.
