About this template

Indian retail trading on NSE and BSE demands more than entry and exit prices. Lot sizes change, STT hits the sell side of options, MIS positions square off automatically, and expiry Thursdays behave unlike quiet Tuesdays. This template encodes those realities in columns and views you can use from day one — whether you sync from Zerodha later or type fills manually after the 3:30 p.m. bell. It is not financial advice; it is a structured feedback loop aligned with the TradeLyser methodology: journal honestly, tag setups, review on Friday, change one rule at a time. Pair it with our Learn guides and free calculators for position size, brokerage, and tax. When manual logging breaks on busy expiry weeks, TradeLyser auto-sync picks up where the spreadsheet stops.

How to use this template

  1. 01

    Download and open the template

    Click the free download button for your preferred format (Excel, Google Sheets, or PDF). Save a copy to your Drive or local machine — do not edit the master file directly. Rename it with your name and month, e.g. "Option Greeks Quick-Reference Card (India) - June 2026". If using Google Sheets, use File → Make a copy so formulas stay intact.

  2. 02

    Configure Settings tab for your account

    Open the Settings sheet and enter your trading capital, max daily loss in rupees, default lot sizes for Nifty and Bank Nifty, and broker name. These values feed position-sizing and risk columns automatically. Update lot sizes when NSE revises contract specifications.

  3. 03

    Define your setup tags before logging trades

    Add one row per active setup in the Setup Tags sheet — e.g. ORB, VWAP rejection, iron condor, expiry theta. Clear names beat vague labels. Every trade you log must link to exactly one setup so weekly review can show real expectancy per edge.

  4. 04

    Log each trade after the session

    Within 30 minutes of market close (or immediately after exit for intraday), fill Date, symbol, product type (MIS/NRML/CNC), entry, exit, lots, setup tag, and session tag. Add violation flags if you broke a rule — oversize, revenge, late expiry entry. Honest logging beats perfect logging.

  5. 05

    Reconcile net P&L with contract notes

    Once per week, compare your Net P&L column against Zerodha Console or your broker tax P&L export. Fix charge mismatches before running analytics — a 2% error on STT compounds into wrong expectancy on small premium trades.

  6. 06

    Run the Friday 15-minute review

    Filter This Week, read win rate and net P&L per setup tag, open your three largest losers, score discipline 1–5 per day, and write one change for next week only. The template is useless without this ritual — see TradeLyser Methodology weekly-review for the full checklist.

  7. 07

    Optional: import broker CSV

    If your broker exports trade history, paste into the Import sheet and map columns to the Trade Log. Verify the first import row-by-row. When manual entry becomes the bottleneck on expiry Thursdays, consider TradeLyser auto-sync from supported Indian brokers.

Key benefits

Rupee-native risk and P&L

Option Greeks Quick-Reference Card (India) uses lot size, STT, and brokerage columns designed for NSE and BSE — not dollar tick values from US-centric templates.

Setup-level honesty

Strategy tags force you to measure each edge separately. Blended account P&L hides which setups pay for tuition and which ones should be retired.

Retail F&O participation on NSE continues to grow — process tracking matters more than indicator count.

Expiry-week separation

Dedicated tags and views for expiry sessions prevent quiet weeks from masking Thursday gamma losses — a common blind spot for Indian options traders.

Friday review ready

Pre-built summary views align with the TradeLyser weekly review ritual: tagged trades, net figures, and one planned change for Monday.

Customization tips

  • Set capital and max daily loss in Settings first.
  • Add broker name if multi-broker.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Option Greeks Quick-Reference Card (India) free to download?+

Yes. During our launch promo every template shows ~~₹250~~ Free — no signup required. Click download on the detail page and save Excel or PDF to your device. Google Sheets copy links are rolling out per template.

Should I track gross or net P&L?+

Always net P&L after STT and brokerage for Indian F&O. Gross P&L flatters high-churn strategies — a scalper with ₹200 gross winners and ₹180 costs has no edge. This template includes charge columns for that reason.

Can I use one sheet for MIS and NRML together?+

You can, but filter by Product Type column in review. Mixing intraday MIS scalps with NRML swing holds blends expectancy beyond recognition. Many traders duplicate the file into two books after month one.

How do I tag expiry Thursday trades?+

Use session tag expiry-day or a dedicated expiry-week-nifty tag. Never compare quiet Tuesday theta with Thursday gamma in the same bucket — NSE weekly expiry behaviour is structurally different.

Excel or Google Sheets for Indian traders?+

This template is PDF-first for print-and-check workflows. Pair it with an Excel journal for numeric analytics.

When should I move from spreadsheet to TradeLyser?+

When manual entry fails on busy expiry weeks, when you have more than 10% untagged trades, or when you want broker auto-sync and discipline scores without maintaining formulas. The spreadsheet remains a valid starting point.
