delay in profit loss

vishnux

When I calculate profit via open positions , api profit loss is delayed , how long is the delay ?

You can refer to this similar thread.

@sujith

pnl = (sellValue - buyValue) + (netQuantity * lastPrice * multiplier);

Can I use all these values from get positions ? is lastPrice retrieved from get positions is realtime ?

sujith

The whole point is to defer polling the positions. Now you want to calculate the same P&L with the last price provided in the same response.

You need to use GetQuote or websocket to get the latest last traded price. The last price in the positions response is a cached value.

Hmm , I get it , it makes no sense why its cached , you could just interlink it with get quote and just give the pnl

            PositionResponse positions = kite.GetPositions();
            //pnl = (sellValue - buyValue) + (netQuantity * lastPrice * multiplier);
            decimal pnls = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < positions.Net.Count; i++)
            {
                Dictionary<string, Quote> ohlcs = kite.GetQuote(InstrumentId: new string[] { positions.Net[i].InstrumentToken.ToString() });
                decimal LastPrice = 0;
                foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Quote> entry in ohlcs)
                {
                    LastPrice = entry.Value.LastPrice;
                }

                pnls += (positions.Net[i].SellValue - positions.Net[i].BuyValue) +
                (positions.Net[i].Quantity * LastPrice * positions.Net[i].Multiplier);
            }
//get pnl in label
          lbl_mtm.Text = pnls.ToString();
            

        }
