The 8-step year-end review

Gross vs charges. Add up your gross P&L and, separately, everything you paid in brokerage, STT, exchange charges, GST and stamp duty.
Net P&L. Subtract charges from gross. This is the only number that reaches your bank account.
Month by month. List net P&L for each month. Were profits steady, or did one or two months carry the year?
Day of the week. Check which weekdays made or lost money. Expiry days often behave differently.
Average win vs average loss. If your average loss is bigger than your average win, a high win rate can still lose money.
Profit factor. Total of winning days divided by total of losing days. Below 1.0 means the year lost money overall.
Worst day. Find your biggest single-day loss and decide on a daily loss limit you will actually respect.
One rule for Samvat 2083. Pick one change based on what you found, write it down, and keep it in front of you.

Logging the Muhurat session itself

Muhurat is a short, often thin session. Decide your position size before the session starts, keep it small if you trade at all, and log the day exactly like any other: gross P&L, charges and net P&L. It belongs in the new Samvat's records, so it's a clean first entry for the year.

If you want to see how charges are worked out, read how charges eat into F&O profit. And if you're tidying up your finances for the year, you can reconcile your bank side too.
