Alert - Critical bug with HDFC trading system..

#1
I have just noticed a critical bug with HDFC trading system.

Today in the morning, I bought 18 Educomp at 4135 and then sold later at 4244..

Later in the day, I short sell 18 Educomp with SL trigger at 4295.

I later checked in my Margin book, which said

Average Trade Price - 4402, Current Market Price - 4302, Profit/Loss - 1800

I squared off this trade immidiately and thought I have made a profit of 1800 but just now I checked the cash settled values, biil summary says I short sell the scrips at 4293 instead of 4402 (which is strange as the margin book always said trade price was 4402 and profit is 1800 and it was displayed on my screen for at least 2 hours), squared off at 4304 and hence made a loss.

I can not understand this thing, how can their margin book does not match with trade book?

Has anyone else seen this problem before? or may be I am wrong somewhere?

This is a very serious issue for anyone using HDFC for day trading..

It says avg trade price... not trade price

Also there happens to be a " - " sign in front of the 1800 :)

Yeah it says Average trade price but that "-" sign in front of the 1800 is what I have done intentionally to make it readable. You can notice the same for "Current Market Price - 4302" .... It has a "-" sign as well :)

what I mean to say is that in margin book profit was "1800" (without minus sign :)

can you explain now? Also can you explain Average trade price? my understanding of average trade price is e.g. if you order 50 quantity and 25 are traded at 101 and 25 at 99 then average trade price is '100', isnt it?

Average trade price (sell price) was 4402, buy price was 4304 and profit was 1800 something ....

Your question is very confusing.
HDFC sec used to avg the purchase price and sale price.

IF you find discrepancy between Margin Book and trade Book, you can get in touch with their call center.

If you make your question more readable it will be easy

1.) Margin Buy at Rsxxxxx and Margin Sell @ Rs xxxxx So Profit/Loss is (sign)Rsxxxx
2) Margin Sell @ Rs xxxxx And Margin Buy @ Rs xxxxx So Profit/Loss is (sign)Rsxxxx

Total Gain/Loss is Sum of 1) + 2)

Otherwise, I am not able to understand what you are trying to tell
