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...
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|
| I manually try to close the position | A new intraday sell order will be placed—avoid this. |
| I don’t do anything | The position will auto-clear by end of day. |
| I see profit/loss in the position | This is provisional—final P&L posts after settlement. |
