Why are my sold holdings showing in positions in FYERS?

If you’ve sold shares from your Demat holdings, FYERS will temporarily reflect that sell as a position in the “Positions” tab. This is part of the display system and does not mean you’re holding an active intraday short position.

Why does this happen?

  • The system shows any sell transaction, even from holdings, in the Positions tab for tracking and P&L display
  • This helps traders monitor intraday activities even when trades are from Demat delivery

Example

You sell 100 shares of X Ltd. today from your holdings:

  • The trade will show as a short position in the Positions tab
  • This is only visible for the day of the transaction

Key things to know

  • No action is required from your side
  • Do not square off or close the position manually—this would initiate an unintended intraday sell
  • The position will disappear automatically after market hours
  • P&L shown is provisional—settled values will reflect post-settlement
Seeing sold holdings in your Positions tab is normal. It’s a display-only feature and doesn’t affect your actual portfolio or P&L.

What if...

ScenarioOutcome
I manually try to close the positionA new intraday sell order will be placed—avoid this.
I don’t do anythingThe position will auto-clear by end of day.
I see profit/loss in the positionThis is provisional—final P&L posts after settlement.
