Samco Trading Journal: Strategy-Level F&O Analytics (2026)

Import Samco trades and see expectancy per strategy, expiry-day splits, and per-leg charges. CSV auto-mapping handles the Trade Date/Time format.

By CernoQuant Team

Samco positions itself squarely at active F&O traders — flat ₹20 orders, margin tools, and a platform tuned for derivatives. If that's you, you already know the uncomfortable question: after all the spreads and strangles, is the systemmaking money, or did a few lucky expiries carry the year? Your Samco trade history holds the answer. Here's how to extract it.

Import Samco Trades into CernoQuant

Samco has no public journaling API, so CernoQuant imports the trade history CSV — Smart Import recognises Samco's format, including its combined Trade Date/Time column.

  1. 1

    Export from Samco

    Log in → Portfolio → Trade History → select date range → Export CSV.

  2. 2

    Upload to CernoQuant

    Settings → Import Trades → Samco → upload the file.

  3. 3

    Columns map automatically

    Trade Date/Time, Scrip Name, Buy/Sell, Trade Qty, and Trade Rate are detected — the combined date-time column is parsed correctly.

  4. 4

    Analytics unlock

    NSE/BSE equity and F&O history appears with 50+ computed metrics.

What Serious F&O Traders Track

  • Strategy-level expectancy — Straddles, strangles, directional buys: each tagged strategy gets its own win rate, expectancy, and drawdown curve. Stop guessing which leg of your playbook pays.
  • Expiry-day vs normal-day stats — Weekly expiry is its own game. See your numbers split before deciding how much size it deserves.
  • Charge decomposition — ₹20 flat brokerage plus STT, exchange fees, and GST per leg. Multi-leg strategies stack charges fast; CernoQuant shows the per-strategy cost drag.
  • R-multiple distribution — One chart that shows whether losses are controlled and winners are running — or the reverse.
  • Post-loss behavior — Atlas AI flags what happens to your size and frequency after red trades. For most F&O traders, this is the single most expensive pattern.

Weekly Export, Two Minutes

Make the CSV export a Friday habit. Duplicates in overlapping exports are detected automatically. Running a second account on Zerodha, Dhan, or Angel One? Connect it via API alongside your Samco imports — CernoQuant merges both into one cross-broker journal.
