Brokers
Sync your Definedge trades into a trading journal you can actually learn from.
Definedge gives you trades. Arthveda gives you insights and analytics. Connect your account once with your API keys, and every trading day a single click pulls your equity, F&O, and MCX trades into a journal with performance analytics, insights that tell you where and why you lose or make money, and a trade-level feedback loop. No file to export, no monthly download ritual.
A P&L statement is what your accountant needs. A journal is what you need to get better.
- Cash · stocks, etfs
- F&O · index, stocks, commodity

PnL, charges, duration, chart context, executions, notes, and tags, all tied to the same Definedge trade.
Everything you get from one Definedge sync
Your Definedge trades become a dashboard, insights, reports, and a searchable journal, with no setup and no formulas to maintain.
Dashboard
Net PnL, win rate, expectancy, and your equity curve over time.
Insights
The patterns behind your wins, losses, timing, and mistakes.
Reports
Performance broken down by symbol, setup, timeframe, and tag.
Trades
Your full history, with filters and a detailed breakdown per trade.
Tagging
Tag by setup, mistake, or market condition, then measure each one.
Notebook
Attach your reasoning and chart screenshots to the actual trade.
Read-only, always. Arthveda connects through Definedge's secure login and only reads your trade history. It never sees your funds and never places orders.
If you trade on Definedge, this guide shows how Arthveda turns your daily trade book into a journal you can actually learn from, no exports required.
You have a couple of hundred trades sitting in your Definedge account. You roughly know last quarter was green. You can't tell which setup delivered most of that PnL, which trades you held too long, or whether your "high conviction" trades actually outperformed your gut-feel ones.
The problem isn't your trading. The problem is that a tradebook and a journal solve completely different problems.
What Definedge actually shows you
Definedge gives you serious tools for the analysis before and during a trade. After it, you get the day's trade book and a Trade Register that sums up PnL per date and contract, the numbers your accountant needs at tax time. That is genuinely useful, but it is built for filing, not for working out how you actually trade.
The artifact that actually moves your edge is the one most Definedge users end up building themselves in Excel, Google Sheets, Notion, or a custom spreadsheet. Usually for two months. Usually it stops.
What Definedge's reports are not built for
Pull up your last hundred closed trades in your head and try to answer these:
- What's my win rate over the last quarter?
- What's my average winner versus my average loser, in R-multiples?
- Are my breakout trades more profitable than my mean-reversion trades, or am I just remembering the dopamine ones?
- Do trades I hold overnight outperform my intraday ones after charges?
- Which setup is dragging my overall PnL down, even though it feels good when it works?
None of these are answerable from Definedge's reports without exporting your data, opening Excel, writing formulas, and tagging every trade by hand. Most traders never make it to step three. Arthveda answers them in a few clicks.
How the Definedge sync works
Copy your API keys from Definedge
Log in to Definedge MyAccount, open Account, then API Config, and copy your API Token and API Secret.
Create your Definedge broker account
Sign up or log in to Arthveda. Follow onboarding and select Definedge, or go to /accounts and create a Definedge broker account. Click Connect and paste the API Token and API Secret.
Login with an OTP
Definedge sends a one-time code to start today's session. If you turned on External TOTP in MyAccount, the code from your authenticator app works too. Brokers end every session overnight, so this is a quick daily step.
Click Sync
Hit Sync and Arthveda pulls today's trades through the same import pipeline as every other broker. It groups your executions into trades automatically: one round trip becomes one trade with entry, scaling, exit, holding period, and after-charges PnL computed for you. Futures and options, MCX included, come in as the right instrument with the right expiry and strike.
Explore your journal
Open Trades, Dashboard, Insights, and Reports. Then pick your first ten trades, add a tag like breakout, earnings, or support-bounce, and add a one-line note on what you were actually thinking when you entered. That's the work. It compounds from here.
Definedge's API only returns the current day's trades, so make Sync part of your post-market routine. No spreadsheets, no monthly export ritual: login, click Sync, and the day is in your journal.
What to actually journal
If you want the journal to do its job, every trade needs a little human input. The number is small on purpose:
- Setup tag — what kind of trade was it? Keep the set small and reusable (eight to twelve tags is plenty).
- Entry reason — one sentence on the trigger. "50 DMA reclaim with above-average volume" is good. "Looked strong" is not.
- Exit reason — stop hit? target hit? time stop? fear? Be honest about the last one.
- R-multiple (optional, high-value) — risked ₹2,000 and made ₹6,000 is a +3R. Track it and after fifty trades you stop arguing with yourself about whether you're positive expectancy.
You can also attach chart screenshots at entry and exit and a note on what you'd do differently. After a month of consistency you'll see at least one pattern you didn't know existed.
Arthveda is more than a journal
Most trading journals stop after the trade. Arthveda connects the workflow before and after it: discovery, watchlists, symbol research, execution, journaling, review, and your public trading record.
The same stock you discovered in a screener can later appear in your watchlist, trade journal, review reports, and symbol history, all connected in one workflow.
Screeners — scan NSE and BSE stocks using price, volume, technical, and candlestick filters. Arthveda remembers the source of every idea, so if a screened stock becomes a trade, you can later see which screeners are actually leading to better results.
Watchlists and symbol pages — track the stocks you care about before and after you trade them, so your research and journal are part of the same workflow.
Public profile — build a public trading identity around your process, not just PnL. Publish selected screeners, watchlists, notes, and trade reviews so others can understand how you find ideas, track them, and learn from them over time.
