I understand other parameter....Whats multiplier parameter here???

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

Are you calculating P&L for F&O contracts?
If yes, then the multiplier here is the lot size of a specific contract.

I used this code pnl = (position['sell_value'] - position['buy_value']) + (position['quantity'] * position['last_price'] * position['multiplier'])
Even then since yesterday pnl is showing wrong information.

There is nothing called net_quantity.

Can you please help

@AnandMC,
You need to use quantity field.

sujith

And you can't use the position response's last price, you need to use Websocket API or quote API to get the last traded price.

position['pnl'] was working until OCT11. Fine. I'm using the below python code now

for position in positions :
pnl = (position['sell_value'] - position['buy_value']) + (position['quantity'] * position['last_price'] * position['multiplier'])
sum = sum + position['pnl']
print(sum)

Can you let me know how to use "Websocket API or quote API" in python to get last price

You may refer to the readme and documentation here.

Have used the below code as you mentioned. However even now there is a change pnl of what is show in the kite web and what is shown in the code. Every thing was working fine until OCT 11.

exit = 0
while exit == 0:
positions = kite.positions()
positions = positions['net']
sum = 0
print('positions is')
print(positions)
for position in positions :
print(position['tradingsymbol'])
print(position['pnl'])
print("quote is")
ins = 'NFO:' + position['tradingsymbol']
lp = kite.quote(ins)[ins]['last_price']
pnl = (position['sell_value'] - position['buy_value']) + (position['quantity'] * lp * position['multiplier'])
print('pnl is')
print(pnl)
sum = sum + position['pnl']
print("###")
print(sum)
print("Total BANK Nifty P & L")
print(sum)

sorry have used sum = sum + position['pnl'] instead of pnl. It works thanks
