How is the buying average calculated in MTF?
The buying average for MTF and CNC positions is calculated separately. This helps reflect the actual purchase price under each product type without combining them into a single average.
How it works
If a client buys the same stock under both CNC and MTF, the system does not merge the purchase prices into one average. Instead, each product type maintains its own buying average.
Example
If a client buys ABC stock at ₹100 in CNC and later buys the same stock at ₹150 in MTF, these two prices will not be averaged together.
The CNC position will show its own buying average, and the MTF position will show its own buying average separately.
What If?
| Scenario | What happens |
|---|
| The client is unable to match the displayed average with the overall purchase history | The average shown depends on the selected product type, so only the transactions under that specific position are considered. |
| The client has bought the same stock through multiple product types over time | Each position continues to retain its own pricing structure based on how the trade was executed. |
| The client expects the holdings view to reflect one consolidated acquisition price | The system may display values separately where the trades belong to different product types. |
| The client is reviewing profitability across CNC and MTF together | The cost interpretation should be done product-wise, since the buying averages are not derived from a merged position. |
