MTM — Understand Your Profit or Loss, Live!

Mark to Market (MTM)

Have you ever placed a trade and kept checking every few minutes — “Kitna profit ho raha hai?”

Cirrus.trade makes this crystal clear with MTM (Mark-to-Market) rule — a powerful feature that tells you exactly how much profit or loss you’re sitting on, live — across all your broker accounts in one place.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Cirrus lets you automate your exits with MTM Rule. So even if you’re sipping chai, your trades are being managed intelligently in the background.

Let’s break it down.

What is MTM in Cirrus?

MTM stands for Mark-to-Market — it shows the live value of your open positions based on current market prices.

Example:

You bought NIFTY Futures at ₹20,000, 1 lot (50 quantity).

• Price goes up to ₹20,150 → MTM = (20,150–20,000) X 50 = ₹7,500 profit
• Price drops to ₹19,900 → MTM = (19,900–20,000) X 50 = ₹5,000 loss

Cirrus shows this MTM live — per symbol, per strategy, and even across brokers like Zerodha, Angel, Upstox, etc.

You never have to manually calculate your P&L again.

How Cirrus Calculates MTM

MTM = (Current LTP — Entry Price) × Lot Size

And you see it LIVE — refreshing every second.

This helps you:

• Track real-time profit/loss
• Stay within your risk
• Know when to book gains or cut losses

The MTM Rule: Target, Stop Loss & Trail By

What if we told you… Cirrus can auto-exit your trade at profit, save you from big losses, and lock profits when prices move in your favor?

That’s exactly what the MTM Rule does — it combines:

1. Target
2. Stop Loss
3. Trail By

1. Target — Exit When You Hit Your Goal

“Book my profit when it reaches ₹X.”

Example:

• Buy Nifty Futures at ₹48,000
• Set Target: ₹300
• Cirrus will exit the position at ₹48,300, locking in profits

No emotional decisions. Just clean, pre-decided exits.

2. Stop Loss — Cut Losses Early

“Get me out if I lose too much.”

Example:

• Buy NIFTY at ₹20,000
• Set Stop Loss: ₹100
• Cirrus exits at ₹19,900 if price drops — saving you from bigger damage

3. Trail By — Protect Profits As Price Moves Up

“Move my stop loss up as I gain.”

Example:

• Buy Nifty Futures at ₹20,000
• Initial Stop Loss(SL) = ₹19,900
• Set Trail By: ₹100

Now if price goes to ₹20,100 → SL moves to ₹20,000 Then price to ₹20,200 → SL = ₹20,100 Then ₹20,300 → SL = ₹20,200

This way, Cirrus locks in profits, even if the market reverses suddenly.

Here’s how Target, Stop Loss, and Trailing by work together in the MTM rule.

Let’s say:

• Entry = ₹20,000
• Target = ₹20,300
• Stop Loss = ₹19,900
• Trail By = ₹100

Here’s what Cirrus will do:
