Nexus Journal Guide
Trading Tax Analytics for Indian Traders
Trading performance should be reviewed before and after costs. Nexus Journal separates gross P&L, net P&L, taxes, and charges so traders can see what they actually retained.
Gross P&L vs net P&L
Gross P&L is the trading result before taxes and charges. Net P&L subtracts available taxes and charges from that result.
Both are useful: gross P&L explains trading edge, while net P&L explains retained performance.
Daily and monthly tax handling
When daily charge data exists, Nexus can use day-level values for range calculations.
When only manual or monthly tax data exists, monthly totals can be allocated proportionately for range-based views, keeping the dashboard usable without pretending the source is more granular than it is.
Tax-aware drawdown
A trader can make a new equity high before tax and still retain less after costs.
Tax-aware drawdown helps connect performance review with actual cost drag instead of only looking at pre-tax performance.
