Add some new features

​Hi Team Zerodha,

​As a regular user of the Kite app, I have two crucial suggestions that would significantly enhance the trading experience and help traders manage risk more effectively:

  1. Drag-and-Drop Orders on Charts: Please introduce a feature to set and modify Target and Stop-Loss orders directly from the chart using a drag-and-drop interface. Having to manually enter prices during volatile moves is slow; being able to visually adjust levels on the chart would be a game-changer for intraday traders.
  2. Automated Loss-Based Kill Switch: While the current Kill Switch is great, it requires manual activation. I suggest an Auto-Kill Switch based on a pre-set daily loss range. For example, if I set a limit between ₹9,000 and ₹10,000, the system should automatically exit all open positions (especially in Options) and disable trading for the day as soon as the loss hits the ₹9,000 mark. This would prevent emotional overtrading and protect capital from huge drawdowns.

​I hope the technical team considers these features in the upcoming updates.

Much needed, but fyers provide

Similar should be done for profit target also, there should be an option to exit all trades/x no. of trades at once on achieving a set target for day

TFC already allows you to drag and adjust stop-loss/target directly on charts, and it will soon be available on the app as well.

We can also consider introducing auto P&L-based kill switch logic.

Thanks for the feedback. :blush:

We’re already working on P&L-based exit features, it will be available soon on kite.

When I first asked for this feature almost a year ago, the team said it would come ‘soon.’ Now, a whole year has passed, and we are still waiting. Zerodha really is launching essential features ‘very soon’! :unamused:

That’s a bad idea dude. You should never kill a trade because it reached a certain PnL.
