Intraday trading profit is calculated by subtracting buying price, selling price, and all applicable charges. Gross profit does not reflect actual earnings unless costs are deducted.
For example, buying at ₹100 and selling at ₹102 gives a gross profit of ₹2 per share. After brokerage and taxes, net profit may be lower.
Small price movements require larger quantity to generate meaningful profit, which increases risk.
Accurate profit calculation helps traders evaluate performance realistically.
