Free stock portfolio tracker for NSE and BSE holdings with live P&L

A free stock portfolio tracker for NSE and BSE holdings: enter quantity and average price, and SuperCharting shows market value and P&L from live quotes.

SuperCharting has a free stock portfolio tracker built into the charting workstation. You type in what you hold (the symbol, the quantity and your average buy price) and the Portfolio panel values each holding with live quotes, showing market value, profit and loss in money and in per cent, and a total for the whole list. It is a manual tracker: it is not linked to a broker, it does not import a contract note, and it never places orders.

What the Portfolio panel tracks

The panel has three parts.

• A summary strip with three cards: Total value, Day P&L and Open P&L. Day P&L is today's move on everything you hold, from the previous close to the last quote, with its percentage. Open P&L is the gain or loss against what you paid, with its percentage of the cost.
• An add row: an Add symbol… button that opens symbol search, a Quantity box, an Avg price box and an Add button.
• A holdings table with the columns Symbol, Qty, Avg price, Last, Mkt value, P&L and P&L %, a cross to remove the row, and a Total line at the bottom.

The Last price is coloured green or red by the day's move, and P&L figures are coloured by sign. Each symbol shows its logo, and its full name under the ticker where the catalogue has one. Click the symbol and it opens on the active chart, so the tracker doubles as a quick way to move between the stocks you own.

A note under the table explains the totals: values use the last quote of each symbol in its own currency, and the totals add them up as quoted. There is no currency conversion. If you mix NSE shares with a US stock or a crypto pair, the total adds rupees and dollars together, so keep one currency per portfolio if you want a meaningful total.

Is it really free?

Yes. The Portfolio panel has no plan check: it works the same on Essential, the free plan, as on Plus, Premium or Ultimate. You need a signed-in account, because the holdings are saved to it. What the free plan limits is the rest of the workstation, such as 4 charts per layout and 10 indicators per chart, not the tracker.

How to track your portfolio in SuperCharting

1. Sign in and open any chart, for example NSE:NIFTY.
2. Click Products at the bottom of the widget bar on the right and choose Portfolio. The star next to it pins Portfolio to the widget bar so it is one click away next time. On a phone, open the More menu and pick Portfolio under Lists and alerts.
3. Click Add symbol…, type the ticker (RELIANCE, HDFCBANK, TCS) and pick the NSE or BSE line from the results.
4. Type the number of shares in Quantity and the price you paid in Avg price.
5. Press Add or Enter. The row appears and starts updating with live quotes.
6. To correct a figure, click the quantity or the average price in the table, type the new value and press Enter. Esc puts the old value back. Setting the quantity to 0 removes the holding, as does the cross at the end of the row.

Buying more of a stock you already hold

Add the same symbol again with the new lot's quantity and price. The panel does not create a second row: it adds the quantities and works out the new average price, the same way your broker's average does. You can store up to 200 holdings.

A practical example

Say you hold 40 shares of NSE:RELIANCE bought at an average of 1,250 and 25 shares of NSE:HDFCBANK at 1,600, and you then buy 20 more RELIANCE at 1,310.

• After the first two entries the table has two rows. The cost is 40 × 1,250 = 50,000 for RELIANCE and 25 × 1,600 = 40,000 for HDFCBANK.
• When you add the extra 20 RELIANCE at 1,310, the row becomes 60 shares at an average of (40 × 1,250 + 20 × 1,310) ÷ 60 = 1,270.
• If RELIANCE's last quote were 1,300, its market value would read 78,000 and its P&L +1,800, or +2.36%. The prices here only show the arithmetic; the panel always uses the quote it receives.

Click RELIANCE in the table and its chart opens, where you can mark your average price with a horizontal line or set a price alert at the level where you would review the position.

Where the prices come from

The panel uses the same live quotes the workstation streams for your watchlist. NSE and BSE prices are live while the exchange is open and the feed allows, and the last price stays after the close. A holding the feed has not priced yet shows a dash, and the Total value card says how many of your rows are priced, for example "3 of 4 priced". The NSE charts guide explains which Indian symbols to use; for futures, options or MCX contracts, add the exact contract you hold.

What the tracker does not do

It is useful to know the limits before you rely on it.

• No broker link. Holdings are typed in by you. The panel does not read your demat account, and a saved broker connection does not fill it.
• No orders. SuperCharting never buys or sells anything from this panel. To practise trades with pretend money, use paper trading instead.
• No realised P&L or tax figures. When you sell, you edit the quantity down or remove the row; the panel does not keep a history of closed trades, dividends, charges, capital gains or XIRR.
• No per-row day change column. Day P&L is shown for the whole portfolio in the summary strip; per row you see the day's direction from the colour of the Last price.
• No currency conversion, as described above.
• One portfolio per account. There are no separate named portfolios; if you want to follow a second list of stocks without quantities, a watchlist is the better tool.

A negative quantity is accepted and is treated as a short holding, so its P&L rises when the price falls.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SuperCharting portfolio tracker free?

Yes. It works the same on Essential, the free plan, and on every paid plan. You only need to be signed in so your holdings can be saved.

Does it sync with my broker or demat account?

No. You enter holdings by hand. The panel is not connected to any broker, and it cannot place or change orders.

Are my holdings saved if I switch devices?

Yes. Holdings are saved to your account, so signing in on another computer or on your phone shows the same list.

Why does a row show a dash instead of a price?

The feed has not sent a quote for that symbol yet, or the symbol has no live data. Check that you picked the exact listing (NSE or BSE, or the right futures contract) in Add symbol….

Does the total include tax, charges or dividends?

No. Market value and P&L are worked out only from your quantity, your average price and the last quote. This page is educational and is not investment advice.
