Same-day profits and Kite balance

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Same-day profits in F&O reflect on Kite balance differently depending on whether positions are closed or open, and the time of day. Understanding the timing helps with capital planning.

During the session

For an open F&O position:

MTM shows on Positions tab in real time.
Margin used updates with MTM.
Cash balance does not change (no credit yet).
Margin available changes as MTM moves.

For a same-day closed position:

Realised P&L shows on Positions Day view.
Cash balance does not immediately reflect (settlement is end-of-day).
Margin used is released for the closed position.
