How the numbers work

P&L = price move × contract multiplier × lots. Charges model a ₹20/order broker: index futures pay STT 0.05% on the sell leg; MCX commodities pay CTT 0.01% on the sell leg; plus exchange, SEBI, stamp and 18% GST. Cost of carry ≈ contract value × carry rate × days/365 — a drag on a held long (financing/storage embedded in the futures basis) and a credit to a held short; it is realised at rollover/expiry as the basis converges.
