What is a Carried Forward Position?

Carried forward positions are active positions transferred from the previous day.


  • In carry forward, you purchase the shares but do not sell them on the same day.
  • For carry forward positions, you should have sufficient margin in your account if you wish to carry forward your positions, otherwise Upstox would sell them the very next day at the prevailing prices.
  • Carry forwarding positions are applicable only for the Future and Options segment, covering Stocks, Indices, Currency, and Commodities.
  • To view carried forward positions, go to 'Portfolio' → 'Positions' tab.
  • Select a position and navigate to 'Net Holdings'. Here, the 'Carried Forward' section displays positions that remain active from the previous day.
