Do you plan to launch MTF this year? (Sarcasm) (sorry!)

But seriously though, any ETA?

@VenuMadhav

@OmCar This is a question @nithin has been asking me daily

It has taken us really long, and I’d be frustrated too if I were a user. Sorry But the complexity of the project is not letting us release beta without thorough testing. I will update when it’s to be launched. Sorry again

Hi AMA,
Subject: Feature improvement on Kite web [not related to mobile app]

This is a suggestion which may be earlier observed. I have attached two screenshots regarding this to reinforce my understanding and the request. From the pop up separate chart tab, is it reliable to make the left pane[DOM,Position,Open order] and the right pane[chart] to scroll independently rather than scroll the whole page. Same in “marketwatch” in the left pane and “dashboard” on the right pane to scroll independently will do some convenience from my view. Thanks for your understanding.

[OmCar]

Yes it does. I don’t have any “functional” issues with it. It just looks ugly slash asymmetrical imo (nobody cares). At least the switch could be moved to the center

1. Please bring back the tabs. OR

2. The intraday switch could be made bigger (proportional to those quantity and price tabs), placed (aligned) in the center and can have a highlight colour or a background so it doesn’t blend in. It’ll help the beginners if it stands out and help my eyes if everything is symmetrical

[OmCar]

Really appreciate your kind response.

I switched to a different broker this year for MTF and honestly no complaints and no bugs there. Things work and MTF rate plus brokerage plus blah blah is less than 9.9%.

It’s just that I LOVE THE KITE APP. I’m someone who executes trades from my phone and I miss KITE.

Yes I’m in no hurry (now) for zerodha MTF & will not able to switch back unless zerodha costs are less than 9.9%.

BUT I HOPE ALL THIS DELAY IS WORTH THE WAIT AND YOUR TEAM PULLS IT OFF WHILE BEATING EVERYONE ON THE COSTS.

I started my journey with zerodha and I WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK.

@Karnan_K We’ve already discussed this and will implement those changes.

A lot of love goes behind every single thing that we launch. If it is not centred, there will be a reason for it.

Hi @nithin sir, nowdays there are many brokers, providing brokerage free trades and still managing to run. So in future, does all brokers will start providing brokerage free trades, or there chances of increase in brokerage. And do you have any plans of increase in brokerage in zerodha?

[Anshul_bishnoi]

Hello,
Can you tell us how long it will take until we can trade in commodities using collateral margin. Like more than 6 months, less.

Hi Nithin and team,

Thank you for this opportunity to ask.

1. Are there any plans to integrate the GoldenPI fully into zerodha kite ? Like completely absorb it in kite’s bond tab? I find it doubly hard and feel not really good about opening account with GoldenPI (though zerodha invested in it). And I feel that the offering would look even better like with other brokers who offer bonds in their platform.

2. Can we see any leveraged ETFs this time around from ZFH?

3. Are we going to see any target maturity / fixed income g-sec or sdl backed ETFs from ZFH?

I know your team members may have responded to us in other questions a long time ago. I’d like to ask again if things have changed .

Thank you

@Gautam

Sticky order window is already available in the main page, is implemented it in the pop out chart windows as well a lot of work? It’s been almost a year but still no word.

We’ve already worked on this, and it’s likely to be implemented either this week or next.

[Karnan_K]

Thanks.

Nithin has recently opined that the era of zero brokerage could possibly be over. Will brokerage charges go up? You’ll have to wait and watch

Should be < 6 months, we’ll update you. But it’s not on the priority list at the moment.

1. Not through GoldenPi, but we have some internal plans.
2. No, regulatorily not possible.
3. yeah, SEBI approval pending.

[OmCar]

NOT questioning the love part. I hope at least these 3 switches can be vertically aligned.

[aashutoshg2007]

@nithin can you bifurcates long term and short term holding under portfolio and also in the short term holding, can you add one column that calculates:- "no. Of days to long term " sorting as per LIFO method.

[BIR]

If you are making easier in order placement then why not you give auto slices iceberg order in Regular tab all other broker give auto slices iceberg in Regular tab then why you give so difficult option like how many legs in iceberg order all the times go in calculating how many legs we put our to much time go for basket so changing the order windows is good but please integrate auto slices iceberg in Regular tab so anyone who place big quantity so the system auto slice and send to exchange @nithin @Arockiya_Raja

[VINNI_VINODH]

I just have 1 question. Any updates on native option chain?

Yes, we have some plans around this.
