Yes,both to be declared in your Income Tax returns in my view.
3 K profits made is a short term profit and you have to pay tax on it. 3K loss is options loss or derivative loss which is a business loss which can be adjusted against business profits or carried forward for 7 years I think.
This is a usual dilemma whether to wait for proper Combo or act on terminal count...my experience is in strong markets not only normal TD or combo 13 is completed but it overshoots by 1-2 days.....but we have to be alert to any change of trend if seen on smaller timeframe and trade accordingly ...we are now definitely not in low risk buy area any more.....
I have started liquidating my stocks trading positions already....still 65-70 % long.
Neeche ane ke bad aur SIP kar lena....market is bullish in long term and we may get 1 or max 2 corrections before the growth starts fuelling the market up....
Bhai kehna kaa to koi farak nahin padega, but Nifty owes me one sequential/combo successful trade, it bulldozed my first short futures trade (sequential sell in Nifty on the day of ISRO launch) last time, all credit to UP elections.
Not revenge but puraana hisaab nevertheless.
