My Context Tab — Learning Hub
Click a flashcard to reveal the answer · Two sections: Watchlist Journal · My Holdings
What two sections does My Context contain?
Watchlist Journal — your personal notes and management quote tracker for this company. My Holdings — your actual position in shares, average buy price, live P&L, and trade log.

Who can see my Watchlist Journal and Holdings?
Only you. My Context data is private to your account — your notes, trade prices, and broker details are never visible to other users.
Click to reveal ↓
What is the best way to use the Watchlist Journal?
Record specific management guidance statements after each concall, then update the entry when results come in to mark it as delivered or missed. This creates a personal management accountability log over time.

How does Finmagine calculate my P&L in My Holdings?
It uses the current live market price of the stock and your average buy price across all logged trades. P&L = (Current Price − Avg Buy Price) ÷ Avg Buy Price × 100. The figure updates in real time as the stock price moves.

What information can I record in the trade log?
Quantity of shares bought, buy price, date, broker (e.g., Zerodha), and a personal rationale note explaining why you bought that tranche at that price.
Click to reveal ↓
Can I add My Context to a company I haven't bought yet?
Yes — the Watchlist Journal works for any company on your watchlist, not just ones you own. Add research notes, thesis statements, and questions to investigate before making any purchase decision.

What is the All Time filter in the journal?
A time filter that shows all journal entries ever written for this company. You can narrow it to see only recent notes, useful when a company has accumulated many entries over months of research.

Why write a rationale note for every trade entry?
Six months later, you will not remember why you bought. A trade rationale note — "added on FY26 guidance clarity" or "entered on valuation compression" — lets you review your process and improve it over time.

1. What Is the My Context Tab?
Fig 1 — My Context tab. Top: Watchlist Journal with a management statement entry from Apr 4, 2026 and a Q3 FY25 quote outcome note. Bottom: My Holdings showing 123 shares at avg ₹2,484.37, current ₹2,531.00, P&L +3.1%, and a two-entry trade log.
Every other tab on the Companies page is about the company. My Context is about you — your relationship with this stock, your investment thesis, what management told you and whether they delivered, and what you paid for your position.
It is your private research layer, attached permanently to the company page. Every time you return to TCS, or HDFC Bank, or any stock you follow, your notes and holdings are waiting for you — no spreadsheets, no separate apps, no context switching.
Two sections:
Watchlist Journal — free-form notes and management statement tracking
My Holdings — position size, average cost, live P&L, and trade log
Availability: My Context is available to all logged-in Finmagine users — both free and Premium. Your data is private and stored securely against your account.
2. Watchlist Journal
The Watchlist Journal is a private note pad attached to each company. Every entry is timestamped and persists in your account indefinitely. You can write anything — a thesis, a red flag you spotted, a question to investigate, or a direct quote from management that you want to verify later.
What you can see in the screenshot
The journal entry visible in Fig 1 is a management accountability note for TCS:
From Management Credibility Score Results · Apr 4, 2026
Q3 FY25 (Jan 2025) — "We will be happy if we can exit Q4 at 26% operating margin"
Q4 FY25 OPM = 28.2% | ✅ Missed by ~180 bps. CEO later clarified he "had not committed" to this...
Missed
This entry was created during an AI Advisor Management Credibility analysis — the user copied the output and saved it as a journal note. The original management guidance ("exit Q4 at 26% OPM"), the actual result (28.2%), and the verdict are all in one place. Six months later, when the user is evaluating management credibility again, this record is waiting.
How to use the journal effectively
Use case 1 — Management statement tracking: After every concall, write a one-line note capturing specific, quantified guidance management gave. Then return after results and mark it as delivered or missed.
Added: Jan 15, 2026 · Q3 FY26 Concall
Management Guidance to Verify
CEO: "We expect revenue growth to accelerate to double digits in H2 FY26." Current: Q2 FY26 growth was 7.2%.
Use case 2 — Investment thesis: Write your core thesis when you first add a stock to your watchlist. This forces clarity, and revisiting it periodically tells you whether the story has changed.
Added: Oct 10, 2025 · Initiation Note
Investment Thesis
Adding TCS to watchlist. Thesis: AI adoption in BFSI sector creates multi-year deal cycle. Watch for deal TCV growth in banking vertical. Entry signal: P/E compression to 25x or below.
Use case 3 — Red flags and questions: Note anything that makes you uncomfortable — a CFO departure, an auditor qualification, an unusual related-party transaction. These entries act as a checklist for the next time you review the company.
Added: Feb 3, 2026 · Q3 Results
Red Flag — Investigate
Employee count flat for 3 consecutive quarters despite revenue growth. Either productivity improvement or hidden demand slowdown. Check attrition rate in next annual report.
Time filter: The journal has an "All Time" filter at the top right. If you have been following a company for a year or more, this lets you scroll through the history of your thinking — the equivalent of reading your own research diary from the beginning.
3. My Holdings
My Holdings lets you log your actual position in the stock. Once entered, Finmagine computes your live P&L using the current market price — so every time you open the company page, you see exactly where you stand.
What the holdings summary shows
From Fig 1, the holdings summary for TCS shows:
Shares Held
123
Avg Buy Price
₹2,484.37
Current Price
₹2,531.00
P&L
+3.1%
Finmagine computes the average buy price automatically across all trade entries in your log — you do not need to calculate it manually when you add a new tranche.
The trade log
Below the summary, every individual trade is logged. From Fig 1, the TCS trade log shows two entries:
Date
Qty
Buy Price
Broker
Rationale Note
2026-06-02
82
₹1,409.76
Zerodha
Entered Information Technology position
2 Apr 2026
41
₹3,643.42
Zerodha
Added to existing position as year clarity on FY26 guidance
Each entry records what you bought, at what price, through which broker, and — crucially — why. The rationale note is the most valuable field in the log.
Why the rationale note matters
Investment decisions feel obvious at the time. Six months later, they are opaque. Without a written rationale, you cannot distinguish between:
A position you added because the thesis strengthened — and which you should hold
A position you added on FOMO — and which you should exit when the stock recovers
A position that was right for wrong reasons — which you should learn from regardless of P&L
One sentence per trade — "added on FY26 guidance clarity," "entered on 30% correction from 52W high," "averaging down after Q3 miss, thesis intact" — creates a process review trail that compounds in value over years.
Pre-buy use: You do not need to own a stock to start using My Holdings. Add a hypothetical entry at your target entry price — this creates a reference point so when the stock reaches your level, you can see immediately whether the original thesis (captured in the journal) still holds.
My Holdings vs Portfolio page: The My Context Holdings log is your per-company research record. The Portfolio page is your full portfolio dashboard — aggregate value, allocation, returns, and alerts across all positions. They serve different purposes: My Context is the research context for a single stock; the Portfolio page is the portfolio-level view.
4. Journal + Holdings — Using Both Together
The power of My Context is that both sections are on the same tab, attached to the same company page. Your research layer (journal) and your financial layer (holdings) live side by side.
Before buying
Write your thesis and key risks in the journal. Set a target entry price. Add a watch note: "Entry trigger: P/E below 25x or next management credibility miss."
At purchase
Add the trade to My Holdings — date, qty, price, broker, and rationale note. The journal and holdings are now aligned on why you bought and at what price.
After each concall
Return to the journal. Did management deliver on guidance? Write one line with the verdict. This builds your management credibility record quarter by quarter.
Before adding more
Read the full journal before adding to a position. Has the thesis evolved? Were there red flags you noted that you need to resolve first? The journal answers this without memory.
Before selling
Review the original thesis entry. If you are selling because the thesis is broken — good process. If you are selling because the stock fell — check whether you wrote anything in the journal that suggested the thesis was intact despite short-term pain.
Combine with AI Advisor: After running the Management Credibility or Quarterly Tone templates in AI Advisor, copy the key output — verdict, standout quotes, guidance flags — and save it as a journal entry. Over time, your journal becomes a structured history of AI-assisted analysis, all tied to the specific company it was about.
