4. Check your latest net liquidation value

What is NLV and why is it so important?
The Net Liquidation Value (NLV) is a measure of risk. Simply put, it displays the current net worth
of your portfolio if it were to be liquidated. It is an indicator of the notional profits or losses you are
making on your margin positions.
How is it calculated?
Total Asset Value (TAV) = CnC Limit available + Total Margin Limit + Latest value of your total
security limits *

* Latest value of your total security limits = (Total Quantity of Stock 1 * LTP of Stock 1) + (Total
Quantity of Stock 2 * LTP of Stock 2) + …+ (Total Quantity of Stock n * LTP of Stock n)

* Where n is the last security in your list of stocks available.

NLV = TAV + (-) Notional profit (loss) on your equity margin positions + (-) notional profit (loss) on
your option positions + (-) notional profit (loss) on your future positions
NLV% = NLV / TAV * 100%
How do I use it?
If your NLV is above 100%, this implies that you have notional profits from your margin positions.
Similarly, if the NLV falls below 100%, you have notional losses on your margin positions.
For example, if your NLV% is 75%, you have a notional loss in your margin positions to the extent
of 25% of your TAV.
